First 4 were what I was expecting with the possible switch of first and second places. I'm a bit surprised by 5th and sixth places though. I didn't realize they were so popular, and I've been hoping 6th place would show up with some major roles more often

 

[Aeneas]

Guys, it's there any leak about HxH coming back? Please let me know

It would've likely leaked before the ToC did. So wouldn't expect anything.

But hey, there's always April 1st next week.

Hunter x Hunter fans are forever the chew toys of the Jump community, at least until Togashi dies, anyway.

Then it'll just be depressing.

Jump covers for April

Jump covers for April

Damn, Zipman's cover is honestly pretty decent. Shame the actual series is...yeah.

 

[Ryuusei]

Jump covers for April

DS's cover is my favourite out of this bunch, some really good stuff from Boichi. I also really like Zipman's, it's just the right amount of colorful. Yozakura's was posted earlier and I still like it a lot. OP's cover is pretty... awkward? It just seemed like Oda tried to mix as many characters together and just went with it. AB's cover is pretty ok. UU's coloring on Andy's body seems like it was done by a Bara artist.

 

[BX-02BLODIA]

Jump covers for April

Pretty nice covers this round. Zipman and Undead stand out to me.
I'm also guessing that Yuuna cover will have Yumesaki'ssuccubus outfit as the 2nd cover.

 

[Nemesis]

Another color page for Jujutsu, couldn't they just give the cover and lead cp for it instead of just a regular? or there's something special about OP next issue?

My Hero color page for season 5 announcement?

Why you're excluding Yozakura but including Mitama? Yozakura is getting reprints and stuff, it looks safier than Mitama

Because when I said that, I talked about manga I read surviving. I'm referring to that post.

 

[Koni]

Jump covers for April

Hmm... Agravity Boys’s cover is simple, but I like it. I feel like Undead Unluck’s cover could be better, though. Zipman’s cover is real nice!

I like Dr. Stone’s cover even though I have yet to catch up to it. Black Clover’s is nice, and WNL is pretty good (everyone’s gonna praise it for having Sensei on there. XD).

I still think Yozakura’s my favorite out of the bunch though.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Great covers for Black Clover and Dr. Stone, i honestly think this one is maybe the best of the series so far.

Both Yuuna and WNL have a sensei in the cover

 

[kakilangit]

Jump covers for April

well i am glad UU cover is not same as promotional debut chapter 1.. yeah.. could be better (i always prefer them on suit, but maybe thats for 2nd volume),.. still nice.
zipman never fail in art department, so this cover is cool.. which is shame.. they need get him a writer though...
asta look weird to me...never like new TS design..

 

[Rain Spectre]

So is the talk of a Kimetsu countdown true or no?

 

[Ryuusei]

So is the talk of a Kimetsu countdown true or no?

The preview only reads "The conclusion to the Demon Slayer Corps's effort", "Latest information about the anime is here!" and "At the end of the battle, what are the remaining ones going to do?"

 

[Aeneas]

Hunter x Hunter fans are forever the chew toys of the Jump community, at least until Togashi dies, anyway.

Then it'll just be depressing.

And when you're a Berserk fan as well, you look like one of those dog toys that's been through hell and back.

 

[pamuchi]

Shouldnt the countdown appear in the cover or the LCP? (sorry, it's been a while since I've about a countdown in a magazine)

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

So no signs of the manga actually ending in the next few chapters?

 

[Ryuusei]

Yeah, that's what I'm waiting for, but the spoilers for the chapter haven't dropped yet.

 

[yadayada]

So no signs of the manga actually ending in the next few chapters?

Other than some people claiming the guy who leaked the ToC said it's ending in 5 chapters we don't know much. Spoilers are super late today.

 

[Datu Mike]

I'm sorry but the fact that you think extending 2-3 pages into half an episode regularly is a good thing to do says it all.

The anime's pacing is absolutely horrendous, it's no wonder a common opinion is to not watch it and stick to the manga.

You don't get it what i've said. They improvised everything and put a new content instead rather than recycling clips, barely movement and repeating shots like they did from the past.

It is now drawn by an excellent storyboard that it can fill those gaps from the manga. Like the missing canon of Zoro and Yasuie first met at the gambling house and they nailed those off panels from the manga like it was different animé (feels like i watch Kaiji from that filler)

If you don't enjoyed the slow pacing it's fine but i still looking forward those storyboard talents on what they can do create new content that it can elevate better on what in the manga can't do and i'm happy that they don't copy-paste the manga101, they can go wild to their imagination.

Just don't be narrow minded like it is always the pacing problems is to blame, and ignoring all of those hard working creativity throughout 20+ years of it's run.

I dare you the watch episode 925 (where it covers only 12 pages) and it disapproves your opinion completely. It can still create a top notch episode while it covers half of a chapter and it does adaptation better than a good paced seasonal anime episode.

Took the liberty (since I'm in the middle of social distancing and have nothing better to do) to complement this list. Characters in bold are new to the list or moved places. Numbers with asterisks reprent popularity polls that were conducted online. Also, kept the 10.000 votes threshold. This list will probably need an update soon with BC's, CSM's and DS's being all online and coming out in the near future.
