people overhyped and overstated both act age and chainsawman.

In any case this will be the Oricon Top 50 sales high for Act-Age if anything.

 

[Mr.Fujimaster]

Interesting.
I think Jimoto will be transferred to Jump +.
Probably David-kun will end, unfortunately.

I think this will happen. Next week, both David and Jimoto leave the magazine, David ends and Japan goes to Jump+.

And then Gintama somehow returns in jump. Though its not really a comedy anymore so... unluckily. By the way is Yu Kamio is a comedy? I mean for the time being can it serve as replacement for those two. In case Jimoto really going to be moved

Chainsawman almost hit 40k in its second week. How does the physical sales of the second volume compare to Dr.Stone, Jujutsu Kaisen, Act-age and Kimetsu?

I’d say Yui Kamio has about the same amount of focus on comedy as We Never Learn.

I guess that means Soma stays after all.

It seems pretty, going by recent events, but it will probably end by next round.

Yeah, this time for sure...

It surpassed Act-Age and Kimetsu, but didn't reach Dr. Stone, WNL, Jujutsu and Yuuna. That makes it sales so far meh.

I guess that's good news for the newbies, since it means one less of them will get cancelled then.

How close are Sumo and Yuuna to their endings? The ToC is gonna look weird without the usual bottomers.

HZ is in the final day of the tournament, Hinomaru got engaged and next chapter will start Hinomaru's final fight. There isn't much left to tell in Hinomaru's story.

 

[LuckyJim]

Soooo, it seems Futari no Taisei plot is that the MC is Kamio Yui 2.0. Shogi version.

So, kinda like YuGiOh?

 

[MangAniMY]

^ english version by the way

not showing here... this is why cards sucks

Or is it?
Anyway, Saiyuki and Yui Kamio both look on a pitch right now, specially Saiyuki, shit's even bellow Soma. Would like to see how both of them do sales wise if that can save either of them, maybe pull a Jujutsu at the last moment.

So the boys in the PV are the same guy, no fujobait (thus far), cool with me. Even if shogi doesnt has the best track record in Jump would be cool to have one succeed

Jujutsu Kaisen didn't exactly struggle much. The only time it was in Bottom 3 was in the issue #27 of 2018 lol. Usually was a Bottom 4 or 5 at the beginning, which isn't so terrible for a new manga from a new mangaka.

Ask Act-Age instead.

[Mankichi Togawa]

One thing I'm wondering is that Act-age still hasn't had any popularity character poll, and for the moment there isn't planned any poll. Jujutsu for example is already getting one. And Act-age is also in chapter 65.

I hope they do one soon. Battle for 1st place would be pretty hard (I see Chiyoko winning, but Yonagi, Araya, Kuroyama, and maybe Akira would get very good chances of getting also the 1st place spot).

 

[tirakai]

I wonder how the next batches will go if David and Japan do both leave (it does seem possible). I'm guessing something like

- Soma next batch and Saiyuuki if it stays down there
- Zumou and 2 of these new series
- Yuuna and 1 or 2 other things

and that'll probably do it for this year. WNL's also slowly building to an ending so maybe it too, but I think it'll last into early 2020 personally. I wonder if we'll also keep seeing gag manga show up until one eventually sticks. Probably. At least we'll get official translations for them all now.

I wonder what they'll do for gag manga if David and Japan leave, they always like to have one around and while there's 3 romcoms there wouldn't be any outright gag stuff. No doubt they'll add one or two next batch but it'd be missing one until then.

Maybe the Neverland spin-off chapter is a sign and they'll various special chapters for the next couple months until next batch starts. That could be fun I guess.

We've got, what, MHA, OP, Haikyuu with gag spin-offs? Sorta Kimetsu too? Them plus a oneshot or two would do it.
