We got fans making custom ToC graphics now? lol

Still need a (credible) sauce.

I got it from a boruto news account but we shall see, tbh biweekly is the only thing that would make sense imo. No way they go the movie route and i doubt its a magazine change

 

[savethecat]

I mean bleach sales were falling for the last couple years so thats probably not the bext example.

In Haikyu case, no reason to worry, sales are still pretty strong and the anime is returning soon

Bleach was still a top seller, even with decline sales. It being at the bottom clearly doesn’t represent its popularity or how well it was doing, as it still remained one of Jump’s top series

 

[CuriousReborn]

How is this ever a source?

That Boruto news account is asking me (not like I understand why honestly) vía Twitter to confirm if that picture, that someone I know also did and wrote the transfer thing as a mistake, is legit. So no, not a reliable source. Just wait for news tomorrow.

NVM I'm an idiot, this guy has no fucking idea what he was talking about, now he's saying its moving magazines. I apologize everyone

 

[Aeneas]

No worries.

Can we all just stop sharing random twitter accounts and their tweets here for such information? This includes Yonkou and others. None of them are reliable and it's become this thing of "Who can get this out first" instead of accuracy.

We have some reliable people here in MH who will post the accurate information when its confirmed.

MHA is BARELY beating the numbers Bleach posted towards the end of its serialization.

MHA is BARELY beating the numbers Bleach posted towards the end of its serialization.

There's other factors to keep in mind though. Shonen Jump readership has gone down due to several social factors, and the numbers of manga sales as a whole aren't as high as they used to be. Bleach came out in the early 2000s, making it able to gain a much larger audience than MHA could now.

I mean sure. But my point still stands about how Bleach being in the lower bottom of the rankings didn't really translate to what the sales were.

But what about the yonkou post? seems true.

 

[OtterBrigade]

I see fake ToCs posted by users in here more often than by Yonkou

Yonkou is generally reliable (give or take one massive error), and a solid dude, so whilst I take stuff he says with a pinch of salt, I see no harm in believing most of what he says

Guys, Bleach wasn't cancelled. As has been well-established at this point, Kubo ended it prematurely because of fatigue and his own declining health. The circumstances actually make me feel kinda bad for him, but another side feels the fact that Kubo had 200 goddamn chapters to conclude his manga and still needed another 100 speaks to his failings as a creator.

Also, why are we taking Haikyu's placement as meaning anything? It's still the second best selling title in Jump right now. It's staying around until Furudate feels it's time to end.

Say what you want about Bleach's story at the end, it was still a lot of fun to read.
I'm sure if he wanted to get an extension, he could've like Sorachi kept doing. The fact that the last 5 chapters picked up the pace by 200% or more kinda showed that Kubo didn't plan it out at all and just wanted to end it.

Chainsaw Man’s not going anywhere. Considering they currently have 5 brand new series who’s futures are unknown (Assuming Sam8 is going nowhere soon), they’re about to lose Soma, and will probably also lose HZ and Yuuna this year, that’s a whole lot places for unestablished series. It’s an extremely safe time to be in the magazine, and if something performs even remotely well sales wise, we can probably expect it to stick around. Even if 3 of the current 5 (again, not counting Sam8) stick around, I still can’t imagine CSM going anywhere. That said, based off how recent events have unfolded, it’ll probably end up being a relatively short series for Jump standards anyway considering it’s Fujimoto.

What I have in mind isn't that it'll be a short series but rather that Denji goes through cycles of new main casts based on ... Circumstances. I think that'd be fun.

Guess the western world disliking the league of villains isnt exclusiving to the west. Poor heroAca.

Fortunately BLack Clover gets as prominent as position as ever in one of the best written arcs in the magazine since the Choice Arc.

I honestly hope that this isn't one of your bait posts because what you wrote really makes me happy.

yuuna started the arc now, I think it lasts until next year.
hinomaru zumou, I think it goes until December

 

[Rain Spectre]

Guys, my evidence for Hinomaru and Yuuna ending comes from the May PV. They along with Soma were excluded from the roll-call, which indicates they've outlived their uses as properties to Jump.

 

[TyVip]

Yuuna current arc will end in <3 chapters, Miura is allergic to writing more than 15 chapters/arc.

Unless all of the new batch flop yuuna will probably stay until the final round of this year (oct/nov),
