Good cover, Kinpa in the spine and Tora in the back



These look amazing

Gonna cross my fingers that I'll be able to get these online eventually

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

One Piece leaks are out and again nothinga about cover next issue.

I think Kagurabachi is the favorite to get the cover but I won't discard One Piece and they can also give Blue Box their usual early anniversary cover

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Do you guys think Syd Craft has a legit chance of getting axed next round? I was counting, and if a new round start for example right after the 9 one shots (at issue #20 or #21), Syd would be at ch19 or 20, literally in the right range to get axed, i know that it seems abrupt but Build King did get axed with 19 chapters and that was from a way bigger author, so if Jump actually wants they can do.

From the TOC positions i don't think Syd had an horrendous reception, so i think they might wanna wait for the first volume sales?

I believe syd will be axed and maybe Kill blue will end. Besides that, At this state.. I don't see other series getting axed. Maybe if embers or beethoven gonna bomb but I don't see that happening (hopefully)

Chojo anniversary was already celebrated in the last color page

No. Stuff like Build King and Tenmaku were utterly rejected by the audience, never ranked outside the bottom, no extra color pages, nothing. All veteran series need to do to survive a round is to not be an instant flop, Syd has already received a color page and 2 decent rankings, it will live through this batch and probably die next batch if prospects don’t change. Build King was a massive flop, not even comparable to Syd lol. A better comp for Syd is Asumi, similar PV and Trial views + a similar ranking trend.

I know Syd isn't a disaster in the ToC like both BK and TC but it doesn't really need to be one in order to be axed in 19/20 chapters too, it only need some bad luck/timing and maybe Jump already having some internal bad data for vol 1 pre sales, but this it's just me asking what the others think about it, personally i don't want the manga axed.

 

[Thehoennhippo]

I think it’s within the realm of possibility at least.

 

[SharkBait]

I can see Syd lasting one more round.

Also I was unsure about the sudden change in the past chapter where he drew Syd incredibly hot

I think they will hold off on axing it. So far it’s vomic on YouTube for chapter 1 has reached close to 30k. So there is some positive reception. But I want to see where Kill Blue, Nue’s Exorcist, and Astro Royale are going to land. I just think that maybe Syd’s chapter was low mainly due to the episodic chapters from 8 chapters ago to recently with an episode with Soufflé recently. But I do think if Tsutsui is doing an episodic formula with the girls each getting a chapter and then getting back to the mystery, I think that is a smart decision but a risk at the same time. But we also have to remember how tight the magazine is recently so we can’t rule it out.

I’m still more in the camp that we get 2 new series after the one-shots without any axe, but if one series is gonna end/axe next round, I don’t know that Syd is first in line. It’s hard to say right now since any of the other series that are “staying afloat” could go anywhere further or closer to an ending in the next 5-8 chapters (mainly thinking of Astro, Kill Blue, and Chojo, and mayybe Kiyoshi and Shinobi), all the others don’t feel like they’re at all likely to end within 10 chapters from now). I’m not confident in picking which among those 4-6 is most likely to die first, but with no clear flop I don’t think Syd’ll be cut-off after a single round.

Mainly Kill Blue and Astro Royale for me. I honestly don’t think that Chojo, Kiyoshi, and Shinobi are in any real danger.

By the way Shinuki, we were discussing about Hima in comparison to Nisekoi and how the former is better than the latter. Where do you stand since we know your hatred for Nisekoi?

Syd seems like it's on Astro route for me. With enough cushions and maybe author protection/EiC's grand Weekly Romcom Jump plan, it may survive for a while

I still would like to wait for the 1st volume sale before giving any conclusion tho

I didn't "hated" Nisekoi, i hated what Naoshi did with Nisekoi after the first 50 chapters and that end, but i would actually say the 30 chapters of Nisekoi were definitely much better than the 30 of Hima-Ten, and i don't think Hima-Ten is bad at all but it's just a bit too safe and normal to the point that even Nisekoi had more going for it.

Okay, thank you for letting me know.

 

[echo]

I think Kill Blue, Astro, Syd and Chojo (in this order) are the series most like to get cancelled in the next round. Everything else is 100% safe. KB and Astro both have anniversaries coming up too so we'll see how that goes.

There is the slim possibility of nothing even ending if the next round is a batch of 2 and they just decide to go back to 21 series for a while.

I actually hope for a batch of 1.

Still the best romance series in Jump history
