Only two this time and one is adapting an anime that's over a year old? Maybe Jump is just having issues with no one submitting anything worth serializing, even on Jump+.

Platinum End also feels like it might be ending in another 3-4 chapters.

We really need new blood here.

 

[Aipom626]

Darn it Double Taisei, pull that sudden change in plot like you normally do in your series and suddenly have an explosion of popularity! At least enough to last another round...

Neither is the second one a recent thing. Himitsu no Kajitsu (the title of the 2nd new series) received a serialization reward from winning the Jump+ Rookie Grand Prix Cup.

Goddamn... I got a little worried and thought Mato Seihei might not be doing alright compared to others... then I scrolled down.

I'm not exactly sure how well or how badly each of the new Jump+ series are doing, but they seem to be ranking much, much higher than the Jump flops. I guess I'll have to wait for Shoseki or Book-rank numbers.

I only have hopes for Haikyuu-bu and Koi Goku no Toshi here.

How many manga are currently serializing on Jump+ right now and out of those, which ones are likely to survive the axe? It seems like there's a lot of stuff already on the website, but yet like a good 80% of it is axe fodder.

Yikes, Heart Gear's gonna have to rely on France to potentially save it again.

Hey, remember when this was a series about a guy with two personalities?

What happened to that?

 

[Thundercat27]

I think Hidarikiki no Eren is the benchmark for success in Jump+. Doesn't it have an upcoming TV drama adaptation?
Also, with the current situation in Young Jump, I can already see Shueisha's grand promotion campaign for 2020 and bazillion new titles on all Jump magazines.

That still gets talked about every now and then, such as it being brought up in the last chapter. That's kind of taken a backseat lately with all of the pro qualifier matches going on, so each of the 4 friends of Sei basically got a chapter or 2 primarily devoted to their background and/or their match against Sei. I will say that right now, my boy Haga is up to some pretty interesting stuff concerning the whole Tai/Sei thing.

Abyss Rage is among the top viewed series in the app but with disastrous tankobon sales. Hence why the manga stopped with print releases and switched to online only volumes.

Just mentioning Jump+/MangaPlus series, Dear Sa-chan, Spotless Love, Curtain's Up, Arata Primal and Moon Land all have poor to horrible sales . I assume Moon Land is still alive thanks to the fact it's editor is also a Chainsaw Man/Spy x Family one, which are the 2 newbie highlights for Jump this year. Surely not because of the views, which are one of the lowest "per chapter" there from what I remember.

I just hope Alma survives in YJ. Pretty please!

Didn't know that Death Note and Nana had actually beaten One Piece once in the past.(Nana is really a good series )


Kimetsu surpassing OP in yearly sales was one thing i was eagerly waiting for and i am glad that it happened finally.


@King Moe it apparently happened now.

Don't think it be end result though especially it took DS it's whole full 1-17 volumes to get the job to compete with few volumes OP has especially it didn't do it's regular 4 volumes before, I don't see this much as true surpassing as much especially when you look at regular sales of DS volumes only hitting 300,000+ while OP volumes naturally hit in millions .

Well at least this year KNY beat OP

 

[supercow297]

Obviously it will never touch One Piece's per-volume though, but that's not a terrible fact, it's just like saying Kimetsu will never get to Batman or Superman's sales. It's a different world and comparing to gods is just depressing lol.

I think KnY's new volume sales will increase or stay the same in 2020 as fans who have bought the whole backlog know it will end reasonably soon and collecting all the volumes is a doable feat. Such is the advantage of easily-collectable-length series.

Also to all Double Taisei fans, I at least look forward to it more than most of the other newbies, but I do hope you realize the series is written really poorly? And it fails to deliver on all the important beats. I just think it's very interesting regardless.

Oh yeah, the twists are usually way out of left-field and the first volume's worth of chapters were wild. However, I think the author's strengths are his artwork and the SOL chapters. The chapters where they were playing Life and the one with the date were both really hilarious. Wherever he goes after Double Taisei ends, I hope he decides to go with a romcom/SOL series with a gimmick that he doesn't try to make overly-serious. When coupled with his excellent artwork, I think that mixture of elements would play up his strengths and maximize him finding some success.

 

[Jovan]

Last week's chapter of Mitama Security was hilarious. I think this one has a potential to stay for a longer time in the magazine.

It's kinda funny to see some people undermine kny's success.

It appears as though the voters in this poll collectively had pretty decent taste overall. I do agree that Mitama had a great chapter this week. Hopefully it keeps it up

 

[King Moe]

Well at least this year KNY beat OP

Let's see on end results as there something that could put OP on top as doesn't it get add on sales from it's light novels especially Ace one that came out this year?

Could be or it hits it's limit thus far and plus don't forget OP gonna be push much harder and Oda will try to work hard on giving it his all when not holding back. Idk how long DS will survive in long run, but give credit it being one if top series for SJ now, but let's see how that can last.
