That's a surprise since Dr.Stone had the cover literally 4 weeks ago.

I'm guessing next 2 ones are Boruto and Kimetsu. Hero Academia didn't get a cover since early August, but last 2 years Hero Academia never got a cover in Autumn-Winter (in 2016 and 2017 if I recall, Hero Academia last cover was in August or early September, and then next one was in late February or March of next year).

Dr. Stone again?! Kinda disappointed. One after should be MHA unless the magazine decides to delay the popularity poll results another month and considering Hori inability to draw pages recently I wouldn't be surprised.

Act-Age is having a boost bigger than Hinomaru Zumou...

Jujutsu continues to strongly suggest and highly imply that JUMP needs to invest more heavily in exorcism mangas.

Whereas Bozebeats balances that to a 50/50 split this year, so... maybe the key is just trying anything and seeing how it does

Bozebeats was awesome, it was just a victim of odd editorial moves in a fluid and complex environment. Bozebeats v2 has incredibly strong reviews on AMZN further suggesting that it resonated well with readers.

Or you know, the massive success of MHA worldwide should STRONGLY SUGGEST AND HIGHLY IMPLY (too early in the morning for this line, btw) that JUMP needed to invest way more heavily on the superhero genre instead.

Didn’t sell though, did it, which is kinda my point. Genre trends have to have more than one success to exist, especially when there’s other genre titles that flopped hard in the same mag. It’s hard to predict what works in comics, but especially in Jump

Wasn't there that Ecchi/comedy manga with a female lead that came out around the same time as MHA? Or am I totally dreaming this up?
