It sounds like they're already trying to advertise Kokousei Kazoku as the new back of the magazine gag.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

This week My Hero Academia spoilers have been Trending Topic on Spain. This has remembered me the One Piece chapter TTs, but this time is just leaks. Be careful if you don't want to be spoiled.

I'm thinking Kimetsu popularity poll will come with the Rengoku spinoff that will come over Burn the Witch in October. This is just speculation tbh

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Those Hono Mieru CPs look so nice, let’s hope the author has the story planned out properly specially after he/she has worked on it all this years

So Nakama’s new series may become the de facto last place holder, wonder if it will mean anything to Roboco since it seemed to be just that

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

There is being a program in Japan aired right now, TV special with Arashi, and Oda has said in that program that One Piece has 4.5 years left in story. Oda says end is decided and editors know. Editor says the end is awesome.

See, the thing is that we all thought Roboco was gonna be the back of mag gag series. We'll see how this plays out..

The way you phrase the last sentence is funny to me, no offense. Lol, i wonder how true oda's prediction would be

So 4.5 years = another 10 years? Oda keeps stretching things so we will see.

Also, its funny that the Editor says the end is awesome.

 

[Thundercat27]

Editor says the end is awesome.

The most unnecessary statement ever made.
Imagine an editor not shilling the manga they edit.

Now that Black Clover won't be getting a cover and a LCP for it's popularity poll, it shouldn't be getting any other cover until it's anniversary next year. This is highlighted by the fact that we will probably get another serialization round this year and it will block established series from getting covers even more. It's kind of amusing to think that the series with the most amount of covers and/or LCPs this year is One Piece with 6, which is obviously expected and it should have more, then Haikyuu!!, The Promised Neverland and Kimetsu no Yaiba with 3 each and they are all series that have finished already. The huge amount of new series has completely taken over the magazine.

Plus, My Hero Academia was the last series to get a LCP for its popularity poll and will probably the next one to get a LCP, unless they give one to Dr. Stone's, which wouldn't surprise me given that they push the series a lot and they have yet to announce its results.

I just hope they start giving CSM more covers before it ends.
And Jujutsu but I thoroughly expect them to go crazy with the promotion for Jujutsu once the anime kicks in.

I would love to see Mashle get a cover sometime soon.

Didn't he say five years when we were in fishman Island?
Or am I misremembering

The same with reaching wano in 2016.

Oda is bad at estimates,plus he said he would like to end it in 5 years not that he would.

Chainsaw Man might only get another cover when they announce the anime. Maybe for it's 2 year anniversary? But then again with how things are going we don't even know if it might last that long lol. Jujutsu Kaisen getting more covers is a given how they tend to push series when the anime hits, if it does well we might see it become a mainstay in the ToC's top 5. Mashle is a strong candidate to get more covers but ,once again, with frequent new serialization rounds, it's hard to distribute covers to other series.

Really cool cover, the colors are great.

I wasn't a fan of the volume covers but this one is indeed solid.

I mean we did get told there were 5 years left last November, so us now being 4.5 years isn't too far off. Along with this recent mention we've also got confirmation it's entering the last saga, and with the current and longest one (Yonko Saga) approaching 5 years since it started, another 4.5 years isn't that unreasonable. If he does end up taking more breaks in publication then it may end up being a little longer but I think we're getting pretty clear signals that One Piece is approaching the end (by 2025 at the earliest).

I'll believe it when I see it.

2nd week its a trending USA topic, sad, that the first thing I do is open twitter and am assaulted with character name of interest as the heading under major USA news event ;/

 

[OniluapL]

I mean, Oda did say 5 years left a year ago, and 2020 had more breaks than usual thanks to the whole situation with the world. It probably won't take exactly 4.5 years, but it's looking pretty clear it's not going to be that much more, imo.

It seems no one posted this yet.

We have 3 manga; Moriking, Magu Chan and Roboko.
I see no problem with having 8 comedy manga (gag included) on the jump.
The problem is that 3 of these 8 manga have similar proposals (Moriking, magu chan and roboko).
And as there is a lot of competition in the jump, one will cannibalize the other.

And here's hoping Magu Chan destroys all of them.
