Do you guys think it's possible for Gonron to end in this batch already or we are stuck with it for 2 more months?

I have this hunch that it won't...
Unless HxH returns this batch for a 4 OUT. But Elusive Samurai is ending and Harukaze is warping up ...

Decently late issue 8 votes
1. Hertz
2. Bachi
3. Sakamoto
4. Mage
5. Roboco

Hertz already in the running for "most emotional moment of the year," Mizuo crying hit pretty hard

Dare I say Osoegawa is finding it's footing, though probably too late to keep it from the axe

In other news i've been reading through the original Dragon Ball for the first time and Toriyama is leagues better at drawing battles than most of the magazine today

Jump would have to break their own hard-set rules to end Gonron in this batch. It is possible that the batch after this current one comes quicker and takes out Gonron as well as something else, but given the usual length of batch gaps I wouldn’t expect Gonron to be getting U-19’d.

In fact, with the current state of things, I feel like Gonron will probably go at the same time as JJK Modulo, since Modulo was planned for 3 volumes and we’re at the point where there’s only gonna be 9-10 more chapters that can fit in a 3rd volume. That would be the most straightforward outcome, is harukaze and elusam die in the next weeks and gonron and modulo go in the next one; and if they wanna do another batch of 3, they’ll kill either osoegawa or hero girl along with those two.

No, Goron is not ending, TES is 101% ending in a couple of chapters and that's it for this round.

Elusive Samurai should be ending in a couple more chapters, unless Matsui decides to do an additional arc following more of Takauji's story before properly wrapping up.

For the next issue in the 10th, my bet for color pages go for the likes of Himaten, Nue Exorcist and Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo.

I wouldn't say it's a hard-set rule. Not that long ago it used to be that major flops would get cancelled starting at ch 10.

My Predictions:

-Kaigeki no Kinato will ofc have the cover & lead cp, it will be a traditional battle shounen but definitely more interesting than Shadow Eliminators

-Color pages will be Kagurabachi (at some point it needs to get one lol), Hima-Ten! & Nue's Exorcist

-Top 5 will be: Ichi the Witch, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, Someone Hertz, Akane-banashi & Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi

-Bottom 5 will be: Harukaze Mound (End), Gonron Egg, The Mage Next Door, Hero Girl & Demon Lord and Me & Roboco.

-Harukaze Mound will have a epilogue chapter announced

early!



edit in with thoughts now that i'm not surprised: RIP Harukaze, guess no real wrap up chapter (volume epilogue i assume) but the TOC looks a lot more uh, palatable in regards to what seems actually popular. Like if you told me this was the real popularity of the current lineup I'd say it looks 80% accurate! So with Otr, Harukaze and I assume Gonron next, does this mean we might see Mage and Hero Girl live a tad bit longer? I hope so! both promising to me even now

I mean all 3 of them joining the de facto bottom 3 isn't exactly a good look, but it could defo be a case like harukaze where one lives purely from them not expecting the triple flop.

See it would be had we not had the fact a fresh new batch isn't exactly on the gold standard of doing well either as shinuki nicely pointed out immediately after.

I wouldn't be surprised if another batch flops or mostly flops and gives wiggle room to one or both of Mage/hero

Excluding the Modulo & Hertz one, feels like seeing the entire batch of new series flopping in the bottom together became something normal :sweatdrop
I blame this on the editors (and EIC). Lots of bad ideas are being greenlit. I've been hating on it for the last few months.
MND is the best of those bottom 3, but it is still meh. Gonron was shit from the beginning. Hero Girl is below average.

It's best to leave the magazine with one empty slot or re-run some random old series' chapters than starting bad series. Some of them are obvious flops! They should know better!! It drives me insane.

--

EDIT: @Shinuki no Reborn do you have those polls about what do we think about new series' futures? If it will flop etc. I wish we could gather this data to check the good guesses and the misses.
