Since Moriking is clearly heading for the end, how about some guesses on which issue it will end in? My guess is #51.

WNL should end in #2 if there's no breaks or surprise harem arc and I think that'll be the next batch. Maybe something like new series in #51, #52, and #1, and they'll just have WNL be an extra series for its final couple chapters.

 

[Thehoennhippo]

At the pace Moriking's been going the last few chapters, I'd honestly be surprised if it lasts that long, but maybe they'll just do a few episodic chapters after this last arc to fill out the time.

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Chainsaw Man is literally just being Chainsaw Man lol. Mashle delivering both the comedy and action lmao can’t wait for the next chapter to see how things play out. Cop & Dolphin and Magu-chan delivered so many feels this weeks wth I didn’t sign for this.

UU finally managed to have a bit of a breather chapter, explaining more about the lore, looking forward for the next arc. Ayakashi ended on a cliffhanger, hope it delivers

Yozakura could of been better, Wish we could of continued where we left off last week. Phantom Seer is ok, let’s see how it does in the ToC this week. WNL now starts the grand finale with Sensei! Now this is what Ive

アニメ「鬼滅の刃」第一夜16・7％　地上波GP帯初放送で好視聴率 - スポニチ Sponichi Annex 芸能

　爆発的人気を誇るアニメ「鬼滅の刃」が、10日にフジテレビ「土曜プレミアム」で放送され、平均世帯視聴率は16・7％（ビデオリサーチ調べ、関東地区）だったことが…

Saturday's broadcast of Kimetsu's Kyoudai no Kizuna compilation film (Eps 1-5) at Fuji TV (the debut of the series on national TV) garnered an insanely high 16.7% average household rating. (11.2% individual audience rating)
These ratings are at the same level as Ghibli films. Incredible especially considering the decline of ratings overall.
Next Saturday on the 17th, Fuji TV will be broadcasting the Natagumo Mountain arc compilation film (eps 15-21).

Did they have to censor anything?

 

[Tanzo]

Did they have to censor anything?

A bit from what I've heard, didn't notice much personally. The anime producer has been adamant about not wanting to affect ufotable's production though so they went along with his requests.
They kept the entire staff credits, not a common practice for Fuji when broadcasting movies.

Looks like he's back with more sports (roughly speaking, lol).

Shihei Lin interview about Chainsaw Man
It's locked behind paywall anyway.

 

[Newkerzy]

Yeah, Hokuto no Ken is from 1983, Dragon Ball from 1984, City Hunter and Sakigake Otokojuku from 1985, and Saint Seiya from 1986. Stretching a little more, Captain Tsubasa is from 1981 and JoJo from 1987.

Late reply (because it was already past midnight at my place). Y’know, the funny thing is I actually assumed HnK debuted all the way back in 1979!

 

[Franz]

I’ve read that in the next Issue there will be info about HxH. It is true ?

 

[Aeneas]

Just the usual merch and whatnot.

 

[Mammo]

Blood Oath have an overused premise, paper-thin 1 dimensional characters, the art looks like a not very well made Owari no Seraph fanfic, weird story telling choices
the only thing that it does well is fujos pandering

but if you're not into that stuff what's the appeal of Blood Oath?


anyway...I enjoyed Ron Kamonohashi way more than I thought I would, I agree with what was already mentioned that the characters introductions lasted way too long, but now that it's out of the way I hope we get more mysteries focused chapters

MANGAHELPERS "TOC" POLL ISSUE #45 - VOTING!​

The poll for issue #45 is now open HERE!

Since the first chapter of Rengoku Gaiden is already translated in portuguese, much probably will be (or is already) in English very soon, so i added to the polls. The extra series this week are:

-Jigokuraku 114
-Kaiju No.8 13
-Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective 1 (New Series)

Good Votes!

 

[NeeNeen]

In the order of the magazine.

Mashle: I liked the ending scene a lot. Aside from that, I'm mostly glad this series of fights is over because it was seriously dragging.

Black Clover: Typical shonen protagonist behaviour, but still nice.

Dr Stone: I ship the presidents. But I'm a bit confused about how much Stanley knows. He can see they're all running around, right?

MHA: Still confused. Who's whose brother now?

Yozakura: Should I be worried about the Yozakura fandom? I'm kind of worried about the Yozakura fandom. (Though it takes a special kind of skill to submit a stick figure with a scouter and win.)

UU: ... You should be happy he didn't just eat your hand like last time. (lol@nimbus) Yay, strategy meeting! See, this is why I love it when a series has several smart people. You get an actual conversation instead of one person monologuing. (Also, yay us!) Now I'm really excited for the next step.

Phantom Seer: This feels like we're shifting away from the comedy towards a more serious tone. Either we're past the introductions, establishing a more permanent cast and preparing for a different kind of stories, or this is going to be a back-and-forth series like Yozakura. I wonder which.

OBO: That scene on the rooftop was.. weird. The story is good, the drawings are great, and yet the emotions fall flat for some reason. I can't really put my finger on it, but it's probably a combination of strange pacing and a very limited (visible) emotional range on Shin's end.

(The cliffhanger also did nothing for me, but that's because I can't stand the brat and I know he's gonna be fine anyway. No mystery there.)

Hard-Boiled Cop & Dolphin: Another meant-to-be-heartwarming chapter that didn't quite work for me. Probably because the biologist in me was constantly screaming "YEAH, NO WONDER YOU'RE DYING OUT, NUMBSKULLS! WORST EVOLUTIONARY STRATEGY EVER!"

(The whole thing reminded me of the Tale of the Heroic Drawing in the Zou arc of One Piece. My favourite part of that were Zoro and Law's reactions at the end, so yeah.)

Moriking: Pulling out the big guns now. Figuratively speaking, because that butterfly net is gonna do you a whole lot of good.

Everything else (that I read) was mostly more of the same, not really much to say about it.

[ItsSamu]

On the prediction of where Phantom Seer will rank in its first week, I have a feeling due to mostly bottom dwellers getting CPs next week, it might land quite low even if in reality it would be 3 spots higher than We Never Learn, Magu-chan, and Agravity Boys were they all ranked. I think everything will look worse than they really are, so Phantom Seer's second chapter will be a better judge of placement.

Here's all that's unranked next issue:

• One Piece
• We Never Learn
• Agravity Boys
• Magu-chan: God of Destruction
• High School Family: Kokosei Kazoku
• Our Blood Oath

Out of the remaining you've got those always at the top of the magazine:

1. My Hero Academia
2. Jujutsu Kaisen
3. Dr. Stone
4. Chainsaw Man

Of the rest 1 will likely round off the top 5, 3 will be in the middle, and the rest will be bottom 5:

1. Black Clover
2. Mission: Yozakura Family
3. Undead Unluck
4. Mashle
5. Moriking
6. Ayakashi Triangle
7. Hard-Boiled Cop and Dolphin
8. Me & Roboco
9. Phantom Seer

I think for that reason there's a chance Phantom Seer might end up in the bottom 5, or maybe in one of the three middle spots in the magazine if it's lucky. Predicting what else will be in the bottom 5 is a tricky one - I'd say Moriking, Hard-Boiled Cop and Dolphin, Ayakashi Triangle, and maybe even Me & Roboco could take a dip from it's usual high placements. And if Phantom Seer isn't in the bottom it'll be even more interesting to see which older series would be instead.

Considering the CPs next week, what do you all think will end up low in the TOC?
