Prays Neru doesn't join such company.

Prayer failed, RIP

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

It's going to be literally the 5th cover for Dr. Stone this year + the lead cp in the last double issue! Please Nakano, there are other series in the magazine that needs more promotion...

Magu-chan been really hight these last weeks, and Undead going from a cover to bottom 3 lol

Issue 44 with chapter 100 of Yozakura, it has to be...

 

[SharkBait]

Magu chan fans rise up. We got another incredibly high rank. Anime announcement has to be incoming.

Issue 44 with chapter 100 of Yozakura, it has to be...

30 pages, cover, lcp, anime announcement, popularity poll, huge plot chapter, volume 10 release, 1 million circulation announcement.

The crazy thing is that issue #44 with the 100th chapter will be release October 4, the day volume 10 will be released too, so if Yozakura gets the cover, it means they purposedly waited to sync everything together, it would be the perfect moment to announce a anime adaptation, but i don't want to jinx it...

 

[galaxy-juice]

Magu chan fans rise up. We got another incredibly high rank. Anime announcement has to be incoming.

Undead Unluck fans hide in shame. Another incredibly low rank. Axe has to be around the corner.

All jokes aside we really have been saying "Yozakura cover has to be be next week" for like five weeks in a row now. I really hope they go for the sync though.

And even though Dr. Stone hasn't had a cover in 19 weeks (not counting the group LCP) it still feels a little underwhelming. I can't believe Black Clover didn't get one for its popularity poll.

 

[Cerclox]

I dont understand how UU can go from the cover to the bottom 3, it doesn't make sense to me.

 

[SharkBait]

Undead Unlock is probably the next Hinomaru Zumou. Will get its anime when the series is ready to conclude.

 

[KagamiKuroko]

I mean UU went from like bottom 5 for a couple weeks to top 3 just last month iirc, at this point outside of the pure axebait (candy, RHk, neru or super established series like MHA, OP, Stone) all the series just fluctuate up and down

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Red Hood still in the boring chapters but Neru didn't deserve this last place tho...

 

[Manjiknights]

Kawaguchi should just come back later with another series tbh. Red Hood has a solid foundation for an interesting world, the setpieces look great and the action has been getting better as well but instead of going on hunting adventures they're doing generic exam drivel with flat characters and clunky pacing. I liked chapters 6-7 quite a bit for at least having glimpses of things I like but these last two chapters were just text walls between a few cool paneling moments and I've effectively given up on it surviving anyway. Can understand what people see in Kawaguchi's potential but don't understand what everyone sees in this particular series. Debonair might be one of the silliest character designs I've ever seen

 

[Stivie]

Undead Unlock is probably the next Hinomaru Zumou. Will get its anime when the series is ready to conclude.

The only hinomaru zumou that I see are Yozakura who already has more than 10 volumes without having surpassed 80K yet.
And magu chan that I didn't even follow managed to get out of 20K.
If undead unluck wins an anime, it has a much better chance of increasing sales and on top of that it can finish now in the current arc.

 

[tirakai]

Dr Stone was due the cover, the other 4 top series have had one more recently and so have Yozakura, Mashle, Undead, Sakamoto, Elusive Samurai, and Blue Box.

Yozakura getting the cover afterwards on ch 100 sounds very possible. After that Witch Watch still hasn't had one yet so maybe we'll see that soon? Otherwise we're also due Jujutsu Kaisen and Black Clover covers since they've been the next longest without one after Dr Stone (aside from series who've never had a second cover of course).

Definitely not looking good for Red Hood or Neru taking up the bottom two, but I never expected either to perform well.

Makes me wonder if Jump's planning on having a batch of 3 series to kick off 2022 and that's why we're only getting PPPPPP this round.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

The only hinomaru zumou that I see are Yozakura who already has more than 10 volumes without having surpassed 80K yet.

Neither Undead do that, and is even slowly declining in sales with the last 2 volumes while Yozakura is growing, so this isn't the best comparison Stivie.

May I suggest that you read Magu chan? It is a fantastic lovely series with the most adorable characters, sentimental plot, and incredibly cool action. I am sure you would love it.

And yet Undead has more covers than Yozakura. And even though yozakura slowly grew in sales and eventually surpassed Undead, now there's a blue box that's been selling a lot more than both of them, so overall yozakura is in the same condition.

I've already tried and dropped it in the 2nd chapter, since the dialogues don't lead anywhere and there's also robocco that's practically the same.

Not getting your point Stivie, both Yozakura and Undead are doing fine, Yozakura potentially surpassing, what Blue Box has anything to do with it? BB success will not reduce Yozakura (or UU) achievements.

What reduces the potential of Yozakura and UU are the authors themselves who are not being able to attract more readers, and in the case of UU sales are at a standstill.

So, I think the author of UU should finish the manga while it's with good narrative quality, just like it was with kimetsu.

But Yozakura is growing in sales, so is attracting more readers lol (and UU like you said, has potential to grow more with a anime)

Not enough, after all with 10 volumes it hasn't even reached 80k in a single volume.
