Me being more shocked nisekoi still selling in print like thatlol the Kinokuniya Store advertising Hima-Ten! volume in front of the Nisekoi volumes:
Astro being advertised with Tokyo Revebgers in the Kodansha section and now this, these bookstores know their stuff at least
Btw, they could have reached Naoshi for a obi recommendation...
Truthful answer? I'm a bit drunk
Chojo: not sure if it can live pass half of next year
Kiyoshi's almost certainly dead, sales are decent but just aren't good enough for it to be able to live, just look at MamaYuyu (which'll likely end up outselling Kiyoshi.) It might live through another round off of Hakutaku and Yozakura (even then, I kind of doubt Yozakura will end next round, Gondaira might do some comedy after the final fight), but unless it gets a massive upswing of reception, it's not sticking around longterm.
I get what you are saying. Even with Chojo and Hima-Ten!, they occupy the comedy and romance/harem departments. Kiyoshi is facing the uphill battle, mainly due to it being an action series.

Astro for Hibaru fight, Kill Blue for the cultural festival and Nue to see how things will resolve
Hima-ten is safe for a while, good rankings and decent numbers for vol 1, it's much probably reaching 1 year, Kiyoshi is a matter if can keep the "not so bad" ToC rankings, if not will be just like MamaYuyu, Chojo is hard to tell, if it keep ranking as bad and vol 3 has another drop, i don't know, i do think it will reach the 1st anniversary at least, is only 13 chapters away, would be quite embarrassing for the series to not even reach that after all the initial pushing and etc, also seems like there's merch stuff on issue #50 for Chojo alongside Ruri Dragon and it's called as "New Power Generation", so doesn't seem like Jump is giving up on the series.
There's really no line, it's a matter of what editors expect from each series in terms of magazine survey and volume sales, we already got series surviving 1 or 2 years doing less than 15k in a month.
we have now enough of series high/higher tier series in the magazine (ichi will be the next in line for sure). Axing chojo or kiyoshi, hell even himaten won't hurt at all.. ya can do enough of quick new batch placement till you hit gold or silver.
im so hyped

I wanna start collecting issues at some point, but where to start is always such a tough questionfunny thing is that I'm trying to collect all WSJ w/ Naruto covers and color pages, and this post made me realize I'm still far away to complete it
i think a good place to start is thinking about a series you love the most and looking for them, thats how I started with Naruto, but eventually ended buying another issues as well
