I mean I'd be more worried about Yozakura if it ranks low for Chapters 52-58

The last chapter was the 48

I think it means that if it ranks low when it reaches that chapters, it'll be a really bad sign.

Guys, do me a favor, stop voting in the "predict the first rank" poll after the ToC is leaked.

I've noticed this a few times now where people are voting after it's out. That's cheating, and defeats the purpose of the poll.

 

[savethecat]

I said this before, but I think we need to Dead the theory of “the TOC position of this week represents what people thought of the chapter that came out 7 weeks ago”.

Pretty sure TOC just represents the popularity as a whole, not a specific chapter. And reflects the content of the magazine in the present.

But we even didn't know what will be in that chapter

The future content doesn't matter. If it keeps ranking low together with AB and Moriking the coming months then it is also an axe candidate, simple as that. That's what Minsel meant.

 

[Wookitake]

I'm surprised by AT. And was actually rooting against it. From the new batch is the one I liked the least alongside Roboko.

Moriking

 

[4Eyes]

Interesting how Dr Stone is constantly on the top now. Kudos to the artist duo.
Good rankings for Ayakashi and Roboco.
Since some people said Dolphin started a bigger arc, I think the color page might promote a plot twist or a change of tone in the series.
AGravity and Moriking seem to be on their way out.
On a bitter note, I don't like how we keep accumulating bottom dwellers. I know everything has its fans but at this point I just hope axe-kun come strong next time and chop some 4 series.

 

[Blink22]

Imagine Me and Roboco having better sales than Tamura’s new series. I’m on my knees.

The submission period for the International Tezuka Manga Contest ended yesterday. Here are all the submissions: https://medibang.com/contest/jumptezuka100th/entry/

I still can't believe that one of these will actually be published in Jump! Though some of the submissions make it clear that the authors didn't bother with reading the rules...

Horseball needs to be Jump's next spokon masterpiece.

 

[Thehoennhippo]

Aaaaaand right back down for Yozakura, not fun to see, though honestly I do expect it to go back up again in a few weeks. Moriking seems as good as dead to me at this point, which actually brings me to something I've been thinking about for a while. Agravity is almost surely going to be axed as much as I love it, but it still has a decent chance at making it past it's first year. Let's say there's a serialization round of 2 to start 2021, that'd be taken up by the Act-age slot and the Bokuben slot assuming it ends as planned. If it's a round of 3, then that final spot honestly I think might go to Moriking before Agravity, letting it crawl along for just a little longer.

Gotta say I'm very surprised we're getting a Cop and Dolphin CP before an Ayakashi one.

Thers no logical reason to think Agravity Boys has even a chance of ending prematurely, if it did, it would have ended by now. Since it hasn't, I'm sure we have a years worth or more of content wait for us. Its going to be here a good long time.

I looked through all 35 pages but couldn't find that Horseball one. Must have overlooked it. On which page did you find it?

I reckon we're going to get another round of cancellations/new series in this WSJ year. Burn the Witch started on #38 so I would be shocked if they went 14+ weeks unchanged until the 2021 issues. I imagine we'll get a couple cancellations and new series around #45~#48 (most likely Moriking/Agravity boys joining Burn the Witch). We Never Learn will end on or around #2 (2021) which could time with another round of cancellations/new series.

Thers no logical reason to think Agravity Boys has even a chance of ending prematurely, if it did, it would have ended by now. Since it hasn't, I'm sure we have a years worth or more of content wait for us. Its going to be here a good long time.

I will say one thing, Atsushi Nakamura certainly isn't acting like his series is ending soon with the current pace. But I also wouldn't it past him to keep the gags coming until the very end and wrap up the 'story' in 6 densely-worded pages on the last chapter (which is likely relatively soon).

I looked through all 35 pages but couldn't find that Horseball one. Must have overlooked it. On which page did you find it?

It's on the first page. But I sincerely hope you didn't search all 35 just for Horseball.

Given how things have been going this year we might have another serialization round before the turn of the year, maybe around October. Since the void spots in the magazine would be filled, it would give them a bigger number of series to chop later on.

Also, if they want to give a CP to any of the series from Ayakashi's batch without using the "popularity" excuse fearing it might backfire, Shakunetsu seems the wisest choice because out of the 4 it's only one that has an arc, albeit small, going on. Magu-chan and Roboco are both gags, which are episodic in nature, and Ayakashi mostly uses its chapters to present characters or to present ecchi.

Thers no logical reason to think Agravity Boys has even a chance of ending prematurely, if it did, it would have ended by now. Since it hasn't, I'm sure we have a years worth or more of content wait for us. Its going to be here a good long time.

And how can it end "prematurely"? It has barely a storyline, the only one it had, which was that one machine they had to build, has been forgotten for months. It only survives out of newer series doing worse, it even failed to crack Shoseki's monthly ranking. It's nowhere near safe and Jump wouldn't think twice before axing it if they found more successful series and they need more room in the magazine.

It is on the first page

Horse Ball - glendew

Horse Ball (glendew) - The story of Erwan and Herme - a talking horse - who play horseball together.

Does anyone have the source of the Kimetsu movie being shown in 360 theatres ?

 

[Stivie]

What happened to Act age shocked everyone. And it was a manga that was growing in sales.
I think the publishers must be looking for another new success, along with Mashle and UxU.
So they gave Ayakashi, Magu chan, Shakunetsu and Roboko good positions.
In addition, Shakunetsu will be the first of four to receive CP.
But we still have to wait for sales, we can't celebrate now.

 

[ItsSamu]

It feels like I might be one of the four people on here who genuinely likes Me & Roboco, but if it's the one out of the three gag manga with the same set-up (Moriking, Magu-chan, Me & Roboco) to survive the longest I'll count that as a win.
