Even though it's an early issue I don't think Viz not commenting yet means much. They might just want to keep the Thursday announcements.

Speaking of pick-ups hopefully we get those Jump+ series posted a few pages back now on Manga+ to replace some of the stuff we've lost.

Guys, plot details for series over three volumes (One Piece, etc) is not to be discussed in here. Even with spoiler tags it's still not permitted.

Sorry, I wasn't aware of this. I deleted my comment.

The definition of a failure is a series that can’t even crack 100 chapters. Or just get much less than that.

150 is not even close to a failure.

What matters is not whether there's an issue or not, it's what society at large thinks. I don't really think the Japanese have a bad opinion of their police force.


That said...are things really that bad in the US that Viz would catch flack for publishing a manga starring a cop? That sounds a little ridiculous.
I believe it would legitimately be considered in bad taste for Viz to promote a series about Cops at the moment in the US, given the current political climate. And I believe there are many ppl who would legitimately not read it due to the tension between cops and citizens here, and could imagine an entire series that puts cops in a positive light would make some feel uneasy

I mean Psyren seems to be split between some saying it was cancelled and others saying it was a success.

The spoilers for CSM...

What the hell is going on?! If I didn't know any better, I'd think the series is being axed. Narratively, the series is now in the endgame, and all the major questions have been answered, save for one.

On the WSJ discord, they're saying there's an interview where Fujimoto states that he doesn't like to do long running series. Does anyone here have that interview? I'd very much like to read it, to confirm that he says that.
I don't think he said that(maybe he did?).
But people are probably infering this from his previous series fire punch which had only 8 volumes.

It’s in the same boat as Samon and Straighten Up. Lasted for over a year or two, but ended too soon.

If the sales were good, it probably should had gotten an anime. Usually anything that reaches past 100 or sells exceptionally well gets one. Then we have series like Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi, which was successful sales and length wise but never gotten a TV anime.

In my opinion, you can be cancelled, yet be successful, or at least not a flop. Psyren is definitely not in a failure category in any way with a 3 years run, 16 volumes and 139 chapters.

To be fair there have been some of “cancelled” series that has gotten an anime like Karakurizōshi Ayatsuri Sakon which ended in 1996 but got an anime in 2000. There was also DNA which had an anime adaptation. Then again these were the 90s but at the very least it doesn’t fully discredit a psyren anime.

It’s definitely a bummer that Chainsaw Man May end in the near future but alas it is what it is, better for Fuji to end it in his own terms, tho one can only hope it’s last arc will be its longest

If Chainsawman does end in the next year or so, that'll mean we'll need yet another new hit to take it's place. There's only 9 established series right now, and those series may be reduced to just 6 within a year's time (WNL definitely ending, maybe CSM and Haikyuu).

Hopefully by then we've got at least 5-6 proper new hits among the current or upcoming newbies so it doesn't stay at under half the lineup being new series. Ideally we'd have 8 or 9 hits to bring it back up to a more normal number, but that's a lot to expect from one year.

At this point, I can see them keeping Mashle for at least another year. 30k for first volume is a pretty respectable debut. Hoping it shows growth with each volume. Was the CP to celebrate the popularity of the first volume or something?
UxU should be fine for the time being as well since it's doing better than all other newbies aside from Mashle.

Here's hoping Tamura's new work is great and becomes a resounding success.

I just realized, next week's new series is only 34 pages?
That's remarkably short for a first chapter.

There's definitely promising series among the current newbies. Considering the current lack of established hits I'll be more surprised if Mashle and Undead don't end up sticking around long term, and Moriking and Bone have had very good first rankings so they could be hits if they can keep it up.

But we need 8 or 9 hits, not just 4. I hope those 4 all continue to do well and at least 2 of Ghost Writer and the current batch do well also, so we can have a fuller magazine again (or maybe Yozakura or Agravity Boys can rise from the dead, feels a bit late for them now but it's not impossible).

I'd say there's a good chance that there will be at least a few hits among the currently not established series. The last few serialization rounds were honestly among the best serialization rounds in a long time. I've been following new series since early 2017 and this was the first time with several back to back serialization rounds with sometimes multiple enjoyable reads.

The only really good serialization round that I can remember before the 2020 rounds was the 6 series round in early 2017 with WNL and Dr. Stone, which was around the time I started following all new manga weekly. Between that round and the Yozakura/Mitama round, most rounds were mostly full of dull and boring manga with a few exceptions that were great like Act-Age, JJK and Chainsaw Man.

But this years rounds were actually consistently good. There were only two really boring manga with Zipman and GotW. There's two other series that I personally can't get into with Agravity Boys and Bone Collection, but that others seem to enjoy. Ayakashi Triangle might be joining them, but I'll wait and see where it goes first. All other manga from this year and the Yozakura/Mitama round from last year were really great imo.

Yozakura is funny, although it has a bit too many characters and a few more serious arcs would help the series.

Mitama is pretty funny, although I still need to catch up.

Mashle is consistently good, has one of the best and funniest MCs I've seen in a while and has incredibly funny running gags that never get old.

UxU has unique world building and is very creative in a lot of aspects.

Moriking is a fun read, because of its ridiculously over the top comedy.

TPGW is probably the most interesting new Jump manga I've read in a long time and the earliest a new Jump manga has ever hooked me.

Magu-chan's first chapter was actually a pretty funny slice of life chapter and if it continues that way, it has the potential to become a very enjoyable read.

And while the chapter isn't out yet, I'd say Shakunetsu no Niraikanai looks very interesting. It looks like it might have a lot more to it than Hungry Marie did and that Tamura planned out a lot more about the direction of the series. Because Hungry Marie felt as if Tamura only planned out the first chapter ahead in time.

So I think there's a good chance that we'll have a few hits from these manga. Whether they will be big hits and sell a few 100k or smaller hits, remains to be seen.
