#2. No bait or troll comments with the intention of being annoying or starting serious heated discussions, if i notice it's a continuous behavior, i will warn the user or delete the comment.
#3. No toxic attitude towards series, no one is obligated to enjoy any series and it's totally fine to criticize what you don't like, just avoid posting gratuitous hateful or toxic comments about X or Y series, if i notice this behavior, comments will be deleted.
#4. Don't bring politics or off-topic stuff to the thread, this is about Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and mangas, so keep any conversation about topics that aren't related about anime & manga outside the thread.
#5. Don't post news about series from other magazine or publishers in the WSJ thread, post in the series own thread, but it's fine if you're mentioning other series or magazine to express a opinion or reflection about Shonen Jump.
#6. Any tweet, specially japanese, about news, update or some interesting thing about the magazine or series has to come with a text of what that tweet means and also be on topic, if not it's going to be either deleted or i will edit the post.
#7. Refrain from self advertising or advertising Youtubers videos in the comments.
#8. Constant fanart posts just for the sake of praising a favorite series is prohibited, this rule doesn't apply for official art by Jump artists posted on social media, they're fine to post.
#9. Don't discuss or hype chapter spoilers before Sunday release, only comment if is related to a series surviving status and do it only inside the spoiler tag.
#10. Regarding rule #9, an exception will be made for when we have new series, in this case, spoilers will be allowed only for the first 3 chapters of a new series for the users who are interested in knowing informations and details about the new series, these spoilers will obviously be kept under tags to protect anyone that doesn't want to be spoiled, so don't worry about it.
~ Shinuki

I hope everyone reads the rules and use it as a guide to behave well in the thread, thanks! :kkthumbs

My best bet:
A batch of 3, one is by an axed vet, the other 2 are by rookies.
It happens from Issues #9-11
This would imply EluSam either doesn’t get a final LCP before it ends or isn’t ending next batch, which I find hard to believe. I can see the next batch starting some time between issue 10 and 12 though, and I do think it’ll be a 3-batch to remove elusam/otr/harukaze.

  • Shinseiki Idol Densetsu: Kanata Seven Change Chapter 4 (Shuiichi Aso’s first attempt before Saiki K)
It wasn't Shuiichi Aso first series, it was Boku no Watashi no Yusha Gaku from 2007, it run for a little over 1 year with 65 chapters



15. Hokenshitsu no Shinigami 14: From the description I was expecting a supernatural comedy, instead it is a full horror series with the protagonist entrapped in a nightmare and a number of supporting cast inciting him to kill the responsible demon (pretty creepy by the way) and free himself from the curse…or “disease” in this setup. It probably would have been loved by Phantom Seer fans, but I don’t see it up to the competition of this issue.
It is a school comedy series, but with serious chapters and mini arcs.

I need to ask, how many chapters will it take for Sakamoto Days, The Elusive Samurai, Witch Watch, and Blue Box to end.

I predict 4-5 chapters for EluSam, and anywhere from 30-50 for the other 3. It’s very possible for them all to end this year but I can’t say for sure, and I believe they’ll all still be around at the mid-year point.

One is very irregular, only part of digital version and excluded from most of the advertisement and other will very likely not be much long with the author already struggling to keep with serialization.

Jump is in need of more than just this lol
The same thing has been said about other manga as well. I wouldn't be surprised if Kahurabachi reached the same chapters as Jujutsu Kaisen.

The point is about Shonen Jump future, Kagurabachi can become a 1 million seller but if it ends like 1/2 years after the anime boost, the impact on Weekly Shonen Jump as a magazine will be minimal, KnY is a good example of this, it made and still making a fucking ton of money for Shueisha, but it ended so fast it didn't move a needle for Weekly Shonen Jump.
Think we're beyond the point of seeing growth for the physical magazine even with multiple big hits.

The physical magazine circulation hasnt grown since the 2000's lol the point is that Jump wants to have big hits running as long as they can

Physical will likely never grow again but digital can.

Would people here describe Hero Girl and Demon Lord more as a comedy or a comedy with a possible romcom element?

Right now I'd say it's a comedy with sibling dynamics. The Demon Lord more comes off as Asuka's perfect older brother that has her back on everything than either of them having romantic feelings for each other. It can and probably will turn more romantic if the series ended up not doing good in the surveys at the start and the author is desperate to get more popularity, but I don't think we're there yet.

Hori has good eyes until he gives an obi rec to his assistants.
He's 3/3 on the flop list there.

I don't think the mangaka necessarily always pick the series, I think it can also be the case that the editorial department request a recommendation from the mangaka.
