Jump is doing with Modulo what they couldn't with JJK because of Gege's health lol

My take on Harukaze Mound is that was conceptually wrong since the beginning.The one shot was "cold", the duo had more recent works. Matsuura's art for battle was always praised. Kamen Kitan Theo was well received (and iirc it was with this one shot that they announced they were working on something).

It seems to me people were disappointed with a baseball manga. And the jokes about 3 spokon at the same batch didn't seem to help lol
But the series got a decent reception in the beginning, i think it's simply being too "chill" that hurt the manga in the long run.

Yes. The manga was decent after all. What I think is that it was kinda similar to Green Green Greens: those who were reading liked it, but there weren't many people reading. Comparing to Honomieru Shonen's presence online back in the day, thats why I think people were kinda disappointed by the manga itself, since they were expecting the duo for years.

I have the same feeling. Wrong MC: it should have been Ibuki. Of course, the name of the series would have been different.
Also: make Aokaze more of a villainous brother for Nagiharu. The pace in the beginning of the series was not ideal too.

There are tons of successful baseball series nowadays, that's though on Harukaze as well.

Speaking of which, @Dongus, did you manage to read Strikeout Pitch?

Oh also. No Elusam color page next week? Very odd, maybe it really is living past this batch.

The bullets may indicate that he's an underground/underworld doctor for a crime syndicate or something like that.

Yeah that was basically my idea too last week from the title, and ngl, its a good-ish time to be starting an underworld series in jump. Sakamoto Days is on its way out, and Kill Blue just ended, so its a niche that (if the series is good enough) can easily be filled.

Man, i'm hyped for Under Doctor, both magazine cover & lead color pages looks really cool, artstyle actually kinda reminds me of Gondaira & Yozakura which is obviously a plus for me, pretty excited to read this one, feeling good vibes about it, please be good!!! :hee

Same, though I wonder if anyone here has any preview pages for the new Kento Amemiya series, mainly so I can have more info on what it's about, please.

Instead of a generic exorcist series, he's moving onto a much more original idea, of an rpg inspired fantasy series where the hero is the strongest "X"!

I'm going to make the bold prediction that this series will be Nue 2.0.

Isekai ass tagline.
I'm already sick of this second series. The 3rd one could be cool.

Glad underdoctor isnt an exorcist series.

I know I shouldn't be, but I'm really hopeful for Amemiya's series. I love their art, I love a fantasy setting and while the premise itself isn't anything groundbreaking, it sounds pretty fresh for Jump

Could go in a variety of directions such as MC wanting to be the strongest mage but learning his calling is in support magic. Or he became the strongest support magician to help people with healing instead of his fists (could also tie into Under Doctor)

The third series still does absolutely nothing for me. The MC just looks really ugly

Under Doctor seems to be a doctor who works outside the public eye, aka a underground doctor.

Btw, seems like the mc is a chiropractor magician, so i guess the 2 first new series has medical/healing theme in common lol
