I was pretty sure about Dr.Stone getting issue 48 cover but after that Horikoshi comment about why he's having a break...

WNL Color Page

WNL Color Page

Damn.
Not even gonna lie, that’s really good. This arc’s gonna be interesting. Did 22i really save the best for last?

 

[savethecat]

Didn't they say that Rising would be the last?

I’m pretty sure Horikoshi joked that he thinks Rising will be the last film he’ll work on because he doesn’t have anymore ideas up his sleeve to top the ending of Rising. But I don’t think he said there won’t be anymore films in general

I don’t remember if that was exactly what was said. But I think I remember at the very least ppl ITT deduced that the whole “Last film” thing was just something translated weirdly and the internet ran with it

 

[Thehoennhippo]

Wow another Jujutsu Kaisen cover already? With how high quality the series has been as of late I'm not complaining, though seriously I really want another Stone cover. Happy to see Ayakashi getting another color page, series really seems to be screaming "I have a future in this magazine" recently. Roboco in the bottom for the first time but as others have said this is a weird toc with Agravity and Magu with CPs, I'm fairly sure it'll bounce back up again. Still really happy with how high Yozakura has been as of late.

With the last route starting for WNL I wish congratulations for Taishi Tsutsui for finishing his first serialization for WSJ which leaves Dr. Stone as the last surviving member of the six series batch of 2017.

Surreal how Tsutsui, a former monthly battle manga author, managed a successful run in the most renknown weekly magazine. Just eight years ago I was following the scans of his past works, Espirt and Fukashigi Phillia and hoped he would get a big break somewhere done the line. His first series in WSJ being a romcom was unexpected because the majority of his works were battle series beforehand but man did it pay off for him. I hope he sticks around with Shueisha and returns to either WSJ or Plus with another series. Now to kick back and enjoy this last route.

Really? I thought it was super predictable considering his last two works before starting WNL were a idol series and a Nisekoi spinoff about Onodera, the first color pages were also so obviously inspired by Naoshi style.

 

[Griff]

Kingdom will finish #2 for sales this year and One Piece #3, but did it release more volumes than One Piece or the same number?

 

[KennyKuro]

Didn't they say that Rising would be the last?

Not exactly. It only takes elements of the original ending. There shouldn't be a third movie, so to speak.

One thing I'm kind of surprised at this week is Phantom Seer's first ToC placement, I thought for sure it'd be put high up top considering how massive the reception to ch 1 seemed to be.

Granted it's an odd ToC this week so it's not as low as it appears (all three series with centre colours would likely be below it), but I wonder if it's a bad sign since I don't think the rest of the chapters have had nearly as much response (and if the really hyped chapter just hangs around the middle, how will the not-so-hyped ones perform?).

Ehh i think you know the toc not really work with that logic of "hyped chapter = better ranking", neither that the first chapter reception dictates the entire fate of a series, also the reception of the series as a whole has been quite positive based in stuff like jp social media, rankings and etc, we only need to see if will reflect in the rankings, my impression is that Phantom Seer is the kind of series that gradually gets better instead of starting with a bang and dying

 

[savethecat]

I really wish viz offered Guided View for their manga series on the Jump app, and ComiXology. It’s a norm for western comics, but manga never has it.
Currently reading Shaman King on ComiXology, which is entirely free right now, and the guided view is awesome. I know SK isn’t Jump anymore technically, but yeah, if you want to read it, it’s original run in Jump is all on ComiXology for free right now, color pages and all. All 35 volumes(well you have to have a subscription. But you’re still able to read all of it for like $6)

The jump has favored many comedy manga. Almost all the comedies that started this year were in the top 5, some deserved it in the case of Mashle, and others not, like bone collection.

If you see, Undead unluck came in 8th in the first rank even though he seemed to be more popular than Mashle who was in the Top 5 in his first rank.

And for those who say that Mashle sells more than UxU, this is a lot because mashle is more mainstream than UxU.

The only series that was not comedy and had the first rank in the top 5 was Ayakashi triangle, and that was because it was the only ecchi in the magazine, after the end of yuuna.

 

[tirakai]

Have we seen either of Magu-chan or Agravity's colour pages yet?

How long will it be like this? Might have to get a subscription for a month.

Yeah he did adapt the artstyle to be like Komi’s. I never read them but I heard the Nisekoi one eventually became a battle series too or something. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Phantom Seer starting as an underdog in the rankings just like Undead did. Perfect.

The spinoff? it was a mahou shoujo spinoff with Nisekoi girls so it had some battles, and nipples too.

I don't think it's anything to worry about yet. It's mostly gag manga that had a high ranking debut and they're all float at the bottom now except Mashle. I think the rest of the chapters will stay in the middle for the time being. And it doesn't have bad reception so I don't think it'll be part of U19 club. I know Youtube views isn't that important but the PV has surprisingly a lot of views compared to every newbie this year, already 231k views with the 2nd highest behind Ayakashi Triangle with 107k views. And I don't think it's Western fans since TPGW was way bigger internationally and its PV only has 38k views
