I wonder if this has something to do with the controversy.

Timeline fits with the chapter Horikoshi would have been drawing at the time.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

See another color page and even double chapter for Mitama, the manga isn't going anywhere for now, and the rise of Yozakura came even earlier than i thought

 

[TJQ15]

Ouch, nasty drop for Agravity. Not entirely surprised, but still.

Seems that, even with the weak sales, Jump is still trying to back Mitama for the time being. Guess they're waiting to see the Vol 2 sales in March before deciding how to proceed

You think Jump would be able to shift the order of the magazine in response to Mitama’s sales the same week they were released while already committing to two chapters?

 

[BX-02BLODIA]

Nice to see Act-Age getting a popularity poll. Curious to see how it's going to be, but I suspect it'll be Yonagi, Chiyoko and the rest the boys.

Chainsaw Man as well. Ah, and Miitama surviving is nice.

I'm calling it right now, #1 in that poll would be...

Spoiler

Amachi, of course.

I'm really curious to see what Chainsaw's poll would look like, i've a feeling Aki will take #1 for some reason...

 

[El Jacco]

Ouch, nasty drop for Agravity. Not entirely surprised, but still.

It only went down 1 place in the ToC, I dont know how that can be considered a nasty drop, the important thing that Agravity needs to do is stay over the Yuuna line.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

If I can vote in the polls I'll be voting to Audience girl in Act-age, and to my boi Beam in Chainsawman

Damn, this is exciting. Yozakura and Miitama are both looking to survive after all! That’s great! I wonder if that should be a poll option. Chainsawman with a popularity poll sounds interesting, as well!

God fucking damn it, MHA, you were just gaining momentum. This chapter better be awesome.

Cute.

Ah, that’s really awesome!

I’m actually more interested in GotW being in top 5. Totally deserved imo

 

[Ebrietas-]

New series are not ranked until chapter 8

GotW isn't ranking yet.

Is it not? But it’s on the ToC tho

When I have free time, I'll check all the programmed breaks in Jump last year. I recall that in last 30 issues, only 3 issues have had full roster.

It seems to me that we've advanced from Situation 1:
-Full roster every 3 weeks
-4th week One Piece rests

To Situation 2 at beginning of 2019:
-Full roster week 1
-MHA break week 2
-Full roster week 3
-One Piece break week 4

To current situation since September I think:
-Promised Neverland break week 1
-MHA break week 2
-Black Clover or Haikyuu break week 3
-One Piece break week 4

It will be interesting to see what Shueisha plans for programmed breaks when Neverland ends. Dr.Stone joining the break roster? Black Clover and Haikyuu not sharing anymore the break 3 with one of them going to week 1?

Probably the HQ one wasn't programmed.

See, I’m wondering when Kimetsu no Yaiba will join the break rotation. It’s done more than enough to earn a spot at this point. Or is it because Jump wants to continue profiting off of the mega-success it’s become in Japan by making sure there’s new chapters every week?

Or Gotouge just doesn't need it. I think you guys are trying way too hard analyzing and looking for patterns in the breaks.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Unlike Yonkou who is very biased and only inform about the series they like, while they ignore the rest, WSJ_Manga is being a very good, unbiased source who gives the cover not mattering what manga is there.

Yep, I'm mad about the poor treatment Yonkou gives to Act-age
