Futari no Taisei has yet to get even to Chapter 8, not even ranked and it is already Bottom 2. Eek.

Saiyuki back to being Bottom 1.

Happy for Spy x Family!

Is that ToC official?

Also, as an aside, do we have a discord server?

Spy x Family is one of the most joyous things I have ever read, and proves that comedy manga is still very much valid even if it's changed a lot in format and design. It deserves all the success it gets.

And so the martyrdom of the May batch begins. I honestly feel like launching three other series next to Samurai 8 was kind of a shitty decision, Jump was basically setting those manga up for failure.

I am just surprised Jump is so eager to give Spy some WSJ promo thos early in its run. Really hoping Heart Gear gets the same in 2 weeks.

Futari was probably the easiest one to bomb. More curious about how Beast Children will fare next week, though it doesn't seem so promising.

Seeing the collab promo for Saiyuki and Kamio in GIGA makes me think Jump may not axe anything for now. Or at least nothing until just before GFC.

Beast is doing pretty badly. No one really hates it, but no one likes it, it's just there, and the mediocre artwork and writing means it's just really forgettable.

Really? Because Yui looks ready to be cancelled. Saiyuki is a maybe though, nothing really 100% indicates it being axed yet, and the reception has indeed been improving considerably since Estelle's introduction.

Legit, I wonder when Samurai 8's push will stop and it'll actually feel the mixed-negative reception in the TOC. That would be interesting to observe.

I think we need a rule that we need to post the TOC and what is the source tbh.

BTW, looking over literal years of data, it seems that Jump tends to launch a new batch once the last series of the previous one hits at least seven chapters, which is why I think we'll be seeing a new batch in Issue 33 or so.

Fan survey of reader votes for the most recent series from Issues 24 to 29. Interesting things to consider.

saiyuki is above the others in issue 29, but this one in the botton. So this twitter vote does not make much difference.

You realize the TOC is not a 1:1 of the rankings, right?

Do you hate everything that is new or just speculation?

From what I understand there is a hashtag #今週のベスト3 where Jump readers every week put their Top 3 favorite for the each issue.

These were the poll results for Issue 29, with the Top 3 being Jujutsu Kaisen, Kimetsu and Haikyu!!

Yep. Same source I used. Obviously there's gonna be some biases/exclusions in the data, but I largely find it pretty reliable to what the JP community thinks.

That reminds me, I seriously hope M+ lets readers fill in reader surveys. It would be a great move both for being more inclusive, and allowing us to contribute to the discussion surrounding the magazine.
