Cop and Dolphin cover is boring as hell, doubt it will attract anyone who doesn't read the series already. Why not include Chako and/or Orpheus??

 

[XtrnlArdent]

I really like the way Mutsumi and Goliath looks in the Yozakura cover, but the other two seem off for me... Loving that Magu-chan cover tho

 

[Rukasu]

Roboco's cover is a Doraemon reference

[Serinox]

Wow, that Shark & Dolphin cover is so plain and boring. Kinda nice looking asthetic, but as the first volume cover? Meh.

Must follow the pattern of one character per cover, just like SPY x Family.
Chako and / or Orpheus should appear on the cover of volume 2.

 

[Radagast92]

Yozakura cover is cute as well Dr. Stone's.

For the new series, I think we will have 2 series in #50 and #51 (Act-Age and Moriking) then a batch of 3 or 4 in february in #11 and so on (We Never Learn, Agravity Boys, Magu-chan plus another one.

Me & Roboco volume cover is great, love the Doraemon reference. Dr. Stone covers do nothing for me, neither does the Magu-chan one sadly.

Hard-Boiled Cop and Dolphin has a nice atmosphere to it which I like, but I don't know if it really represents the tone of the manga all that much. Makes it looks more like a slice of life. Mission: Yozakura Family is quite cute as well.

 

[Thehoennhippo]

Really like the Yozakura, Dolphin and Roboco covers. I really want Yozakura to get a magazine cover again someday, Gondairas color art has really changed since the initial one.

 

[ginsenjou]

Phantom Seer's ranking is worrying tbh I hope it'll rank higher next week. It's the only new manga from this year that I'm enjoying so I'd be very disappointed if it gets axed

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Wow ToC and volume covers, nice.

Quite the drop for Phantom Seer, next weeks will definitely seal the deal wether it makes it or not, also OBO going in for an average place, guess it can go either way but tbh I dont have to much faith in it.

Good for Yozakura staying strong, its really impressive, and happy for Cop and Dolphin getting out of the bottom.

Regarding the covers, looks like a solid round, I’ll admit that Cop and Dolphin’s could be better, its CPs were definitely better looking tho it isnt a bad one, its still nice to the eye, Magu-chan and Roboco’s are cool, they’re simple but effective

 

[Stivie]

The cover of Corp and douphin really does not match the truth.
Despite being a beautiful cover, it looks like slice of life than a comedy.

I remember reading the same thing about Spy x Family volume 1 when revealed, that was boring and not attractive, the thing is that this is a archive in jpg, the real thing in the shelves will look much better and appealing, also anyone can just pick the phone and quickly search the series and see pages and summary of it if they dont read yet

 

[tirakai]

Cop and Dolphin cover looks like it's maybe a homage to something.

 

[DreamcastDazia]

How likely would it be for a sports manga in WSJ that has never been done before to be successful? Something like Australian Rules, Hurling or Gaelic Football :P

I'm craving a new sports manga...

Well, I think it would be the perfect time to have a new sport series.
haikyuu finished and has no sports series in the jump for about 4 or 5 months.
Now would be the right time, just like the Ayakashi triangle that started right after the end of yuuna.

Yeah I second this. It definitely feels like there is more to that cover.

Spoiler: Me & Roboco 1 Cover

Yozakura, Magu-chan, and Roboco all knocked it out of the park with their covers. They each look great for their respective series. Dolphin's cover looks pretty bland though. I'm shocked that Orpheus didn't make the cover. Even if I never heard of the series, seeing a humanoid dolphin on the cover of a book would be enough to get me to at least pick it up and take a look at it.
