Current Lineup Predictions 2025:

(If I haven't commented on a series, it means I think it will still be ongoing, but don't have enough to say)

Akane Banashi
- Still ongoing. Anime announcement. Toei.
Astro Royale - Still ongoing but sales are stagnant.
Blue Box - Still ongoing. 2nd anime season announced. No crazy boost but strong and consistent nonetheless.
One Piece - Elbaph arc will still be ongoing. New anime movie announcement. PV for 'The One Piece' with a 2026 release date.
Burn the Witch - No sign of returning.
Hakutaku - Cancelled around chapter 20.
Hima-Ten! - Still ongoing. Slow and steady increase in sales each volume.
Hunter x Hunter - Publishes enough chapters next year to finish the current arc before going on another hiatus.
Ichi the Witch - Still ongoing. 1st volume will sell 40K in a month.
Kagurabachi - Still ongoing. Honozono will take breaks here and there but nothing excessive. Anime announced at the end of the year. Production I.G.
Kill Blue - Still ongoing. I think it will recover from being at the bottom of the TOC. Sales stagnant.
Mission Yozakura Family - Ends naturally. Don't read it so no further detail.
Sakamoto Days - Still ongoing. 2nd anime season announced. Moderate boost of sales from anime but not MHA level. Anime is well received and will be seen as a good adaptation overall.
Shinobi Undercover - Still ongoing. 1st volume will sell 25K in month.
Syd Craft - Cancelled around chapter 30. Not that I think it's bad, but if I was decide between living or dead.
Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi - Still ongoing. Slow and steady increase in sales each volume.
Undead Unluck - Ends naturally. No word on 2nd season.
Witch Watch - Still ongoing, but enters final act. Moderate sales boost from anime. Anime is well received. 2nd season announced.

Returning Mangaka
Haruichu Furadate with a horror-esque series.
Kawada with a battle series.

Ryo Imamura animation director on Nue... I really want Bind to get their hands on a WSJ series one of these days.
Relatively new studio, but everything they touch turns to gold.
It also fits the studio's image. Would work well I think.

Okay, here's my predictions (for series I care about enough to comment on):

Akane - Sales remain relatively stagnant, but finally gets an anime announced with rakugo celebrities in its voicecast.
Astro Royale - Sales keep declining; axed halfway through the year.
Hakutaku - Lol. Lmao, even. (Axed ASAP)
Hima-ten! - Sales grow slightly but stagnate by year's end. Secures its safe spot as THE Jump romcom.
Ichi the Witch - Sales grow continously throught the year, albeit not as explosively as...
Kagurabachi - Shows no signs of stopping its upward trajectory, despite Hokazono needing to take more frequent breaks later in the year.
Kill Blue - Axed in the first half of the year.
Nue's Exorcist - Axed in the first half of the year.
Shinobi Undercover - Settles into the stable but uncertain mid-tier spot Kill Blue once had.
Syd Craft - Crashes and burns. Axed in the second or third batch of the year.
Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi - Current shift in tone carries on despite not being recieved well; sales drop as a result and gets axed around halfway through the year.

Despite doing so well last time, I'll only give one author-related prediction:
Minya Hiraga returns for real this time.

Finally, for future series I also only have one prediction:
We get not one but TWO spokons this year. (Neither one does well, sorry.)

2025 Predictions:

One piece
: I think Elbaf will not last long, probably will be useful to make meet a certain someone, to a certain someone else
The Netflix 2nd and 3rd season will be a huge success..
Anime will continue Egghead arc
The new anime will start also. And probably a new movie will be announced

Hxh: It will be serialized till february probably and then will return to be Hiatus x Hiatus

Yozakura: the series will probably die at beginning 2025, and we won't have a 3rd season
UXU: Same as Yozakura
Robooco: The series will continue probably 500+ chapters, and this year we will se the movie
Sakamoto days: Huge Success with Anime, the manga starting to wrapping up
Elusive Samurai: The manga will finally enter the final saga. s3 is announced.
Witch Watch: Same as Roboco the series will not end so early yet, and the anime will be appreciated but not at the same level of BB and Sakamoto, will basically pull out a Yozakura
Blue box: Great success and s2 announced. Manga about to enter in the final corners
Akane Banashi: Anime is finally announced around January 2025
Kill blue: I want to positive, maybe the series is able to rise again because of many series in the bottom, and it's able to get an anime adaptation, saving its future.
Nue's : Great success also this, and anime will be announced
Kagurabachi: Anime will be announced with the 2nd anniversary
Chojo: Will live some more months and then will pass away
Astro: The ranking will increase in the TOC, and also the sales. It will be one of the main pillars of the magazine after UU and Yozakura ending
Kiyoshi: the series will survive yeahhh and it will enter in the 30k sellers, till it gets an anime and become a 500k sellers as Mashle
Hima ten: Same as kiyoshi, mid-success, but will have to compete with 2 romcoms Blue Box, and Syd
Ichi the Witch: Great success, will receive many cp and probably even one cover before 1st anniversary
Shinobigoto: I have the feeling it will survive in some ways, it will be Sakamoto's days successor
Hakutaku: Probably will not even see 2025 lol
Syd: Axed, mostly U19

Manga or Mangaka I would like to see back in the magazine:

Magu-chan author
Aruhisa Nakata publishes a series on Weekly shonen jump
Agaravity boys returns
Magico author returns after many years
St&rs artist return
Akaboshi's author return would be TOP
Red wolf return I would love.
Gotouge??? Nah,, I don't think after Kimetsu no Yaiba she will. That woman can live 10 lifetimes thanks that series
Promised Neverland's duo??? I don't remember, I think they are already working on something maybe
Would be nice also to see Ryuhei Tamura, but the way Jump treated him , i think he will not come back anymore. And also he is appreciated much more in the other magazine.
Doron Doron author will return. This time it will be a success...

Iwashiro Toshiaki (Psyren) Woud be a great coming back
I would love also MemuMenu Chan artist to be published. The drawing was sooo cute and the girls were TOP drawing
I wish with Veterans Saiki, Gintama, Amano and Toriko's author to return as well 😭😭😭
