I'd imagine Kimetsu's would be a countdown of like 3-5 chapters rather than the end? I mean, that would be a bit too fast. But I can see neverland.

Zipman is most definitely ending either next chapter or the one after that, but no one cares about it so probably irrelevant. Could be jujutsu anime or could even be an announcement of HxH returning.

 

[pamuchi]

Jesus, KnY won't be ending this issue. It will be the conclusion of the fight and then add some sol chapters/epilogue

 

[Blink22]

Another thing: I noticed lately lots of UxU fanart and I don't think I have seen the same quantity (or quality) of fanart for the other new series. Another clue that UxU is pretty popular in Japan to already get fans there drawing art after only ten chapters?

Idk man, since I'm pretty sure series like Shinmai Kiruko san got loads of fanart online when it was running but that series still ended up getting axed in the end. The girl from Ziga was also trending in artwork, but that wasn't able to help the series either. But I think generally, the quantity of fanart accompanies the popular reception of a series which I hope is the case with UxU. I'm not complaining if us Undeadbros keep getting more fanart as the ones that have been coming out have been fire. On my knees here Japan.

To add to the speculation, I reckon one big series is ending (Neverland/Kimetsu) and a big name author is returning (Togashi/Shima/Matsui)

Undead seems to have a lot of good signs pointing to the fact that it won't have any issues surviving for the time being in general. Early twitter account, pretty decent toc placements, doing well on amazon preorders, lots of fan art...

1 - flashback of Muzan.
2 - reunion of tanjiro and Nezuko.
3 - Burial of the characters who died.

Yeah and what they will the do afterwards, what will happen to the rest of the demons, specially Yushiro also, I think you should add the spoiler tag lol. So definitely there will be just more chapters to go.

With Neverland, it can end for the next month I think.

Now that there's yozakura, agravity boys (maybe), Undead unluck (I hope it’s not a hype you guys created) and mashle, I think the jump doesn't have to worry about keeping Kimetsu and TPN.
You can finish these two and also WnL but the author invented to make these alternate endings.
I think Undead unluck joins the group of dark edgy manga, after all there are some scenes of violence (it doesn't come close to chainsaw man, but it's a little core), the protagonist is practically an anti-hero, he is not politically correct and he kills without think.

 

[Halloween]

So, with multiple series about to end, do you guys think we'll get a new round between now and Burn the Witch starting up?

 

[tirakai]

There's still a good, what, 10+ issues until Burn the Witch starts? That's certainly enough time for a new round.

Burn the Witch is a mini-series anyway, my guess is we'll have a batch of 2 now (with probably Zipman ending) then maybe one more series will end and be replaced by Burn the Witch. Then we'll get another bigger batch after Summer once Burn the Witch ends (assuming it's just 1 volume like the other recent mini-series).

They did spend a good couple months with an empty space in the magazine last year after Soma ended (and 2 empty spots for a month after Zumou ended) but Samurai 8 got cancelled, I can't imagine they'd cancel it then just leave the magazine empty since it was still selling okay enough.

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 24, 2020, Original Post Date: Mar 24, 2020 ---

What I'm curious about is if we're going to start seeing romcoms in most batches. WNL's probably going to be around until the end of the year since it seems like it really might be planning 1 volume per girl but Yuuna could be in its final battle right now? I can see it ending around Summer.

Who knows though, Yuuna's had about 4 different arcs that could've been the end at this point. It could still have another year of harem shenanigans then another final final final battle after the current arc is done.

Granted Yozakura and Mitama both have romcom aspects to them but they're not the main focus, and both seem like they might struggle to stay around once we get a couple proper hits.

Mashle is also still a maybe. Comedy series do tend to stick around longer, but three of them might be a bit much.

I hope so. Else they're going to need a lot of one-shots to fill the gaps left by S8 and Zipman, not to mention the other series ending.

mitama is a pure gag, of romcom he only has art.
But Yozakura can enter the romcom theme without any problems, after all he already had chapters focused on the romance.

Mashle is also still a maybe. Comedy series do tend to stick around longer, but three of them might be a bit much.

Mashle came in 6th in the first ranking and then rose to 4th in the second ranking.
I think he is safer for Guardian and undead unluck.

Not at all, this shortage of comedy series is something that only started recently, until 2017 Jump used to have at least 5 popular/decent comedy/gag series going on together.

...lots of series getting the axes or the honorable finish medal this year...

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Toc will get out early today like last week?

 

[Jovan]

Toc will get out early today like last week?

Last week was a special case because of the S8 ending (one of the main early leakers was also a S8 fan) and Kubo news. Probably not.

 

[101nemesis]

The real competition of the year

Kimetsu no yaiba 18 - 2,348,344
One Piece 61 - 3,382,588

I wanna say Kimetsu wont get there but it has proven us wrong every step of the way. So, its really up in the air.

With the movie coming out, it's definitely a possibility.

He already got his flashback. I don't think there's much to show. Unless I'm forgetting something but either way it'd be a waste to show it.

Can't wait for #2 & #3.

The most I can think would be a flashback to him before his disease/the doctor, maybe if Gotoge wants to show why he's such a dick, tho personally I dont think it matters that much at this point
