For future reference, liking a post is the equivalent to saying thanks. A separate post isn't necessary for that kind of thing.

Not trying to besmirch you, just trying to make posts in this topic more meaningful.

I honestly wish Jump would just put Taisei, Beast and Shinobi out of their misery already. It's clear all three have failed critically and commercially at this point, so keeping them around feels almost cruel. And, on a practical business level, it feels like a huge waste of space when Jump is in need of some new hits quite soon.

On a business level? Perhaps. On a personal level, I don't know, I'm actually content currently.

I won't complain if quality series are released soon, but Mission: Yozakura Family is holding me over pretty nicely.

Hopefully Yozakura doesn't fall in the rankings come the next few weeks. In the meantime, yeah, nothing really special here. Damn, 4 whole manga flopping about beneath the Yuuna line.

I would be shocked if it did. Nothing about it appears to be cancellation fodder, or whatever.

I'm not really worried about Yozakura right now. It's only a few chapters in so the position fluctuating is normal I guess. Of course, I want it to last since it's one of the few debuts I've actually enjoyed this year, but we have to wait a few more weeks and ,of course, for the first volume's sales in a few months.

I wouldn't be quite so sure about that, actually. Looking at Jump Matome, it seems the series last two chapters haven't landed the impact due to the jank pacing, though it's entirely possible it'll bounce back or these numbers will prove inaccurate to actual result.

For reference Chapter 5's reception:



VS Chapter 3:

What exactly are those arbitrary numbers supposed to mean again? We'll have to wait for continued ToC placement, promotion, official acknowledgement, volume sales, etc. before we actually know how well the series is doing.

Not to mention it literally doesn't even have enough chapters for a volume yet.

Like i said before, if Yozakura flop in the rankings from the beginning the problem are the readers that dont want anyrhing new :p

Taisei has been praised a lot in the last three chapters

Yeah, the last three chapters have been an improvement, though they still struggle with a weak foundation and unfocused tone and narrative, even if some of the individual moments are fantastic.

I have a Chainsawman related question for everyone here that actively follows the series.

How many more chapters do you think it'll be until we actually see the Gun Devil?
