My predictions:

-Obviously Alien Headbutt will have the cover & lead color pages, i'm betting on being a delinquent manga!

-Color pages will be Kaigeki no Kinato, Nue's Exorcist for volume release and Hima-Ten! (Jesus Christ give a cp for this manga lol)

-Bottom 5 will be: Gonron Egg, The Mage Next Door, Hero Girl & Demon Lord, Me & Roboco and Hima-Ten!

-Top 5 will be: One Piece, Ichi the Witch, Someone Hertz, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo and Sakamoto Days

-Kaigeki no Kinato wil not be what most are expecting, the mc is a chiropractor and the premise mentions a defensive mage so i expect the manga to have a different focus, with luck it will be a sort of Shokugeki no Souma but with massage/chiropractic treatment lol

Under Doctor reached 100k views in 1 day & 12 hours:




And also, Under Doctor manga PV on Youtube is doing pretty well, 46k on Youtube after only 3 days!



For comparison:

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo (1m Views) - 4 Months
Harukaze Mound (116k Views) - 7 Months
Embers (88k Views) - 11 Months
Gonron Egg (53k Views) - 3 Months
Otr of the Flame (53k Views) - 8 Months
Star of Beethoven (52k Views) - 11 Months
Kaedegami (48k Views) - 7 Months
Nice Prison (47k Views) - 9 Months
Someone Hertz (43k Views) - 4 Months
The Mage Next Door (27k Views) - 2 Months
Ekiden Bros (24k Views) - 6 Months
Ping Pong Peril (19k Views) - 6 Months
Hero Girl and Demon Call It Quits (14k Views) - 2 Months


If anything Under Doctor doesn't seem to be going Under Radar :verily


What’s the overall JO reception so far online?
From what i read in Forums, is overall pretty positive, many comparisons with Super Doctor K from Weekly Shonen Magazine, i think the manga has a genuine chance, at least based in the 1st chapter.

Also Ryo mentioned that Kaigeki no Kinato wasn't exactly what he expected about a chiropractor/massage series lol

Wow thats one of the lowest color page placements I think I've seen in a while? Would you count Nue or Kiyoshi as being in the bottom 5 lol. Also Elusam still isn't over, and no color page for next week either, maybe it'll get the LCP once this batch ends.

Shinobi color page spam continues, but we've also been getting a lot of Roboco color pages recently.

Searching for the Nue color page to advertise the new volume release next week, it's been 8 chapters already....

3 color pages in 5 chapters, it gets to the point where you wonder what's going on in the editorial to have this level of preferential treatment, and i don't accept "it's from a duo, so it's easier" anymore :grin

Still no Kagurabachi color :( I'm not surprised but I don't think we've missed one yet for a volume release and we're on the opposite end of the release window now, wonder if it's just being saved for the post batch set? We are on the cusp of a new arc so it'd be good timing and save Hokazono a double demand....

I think Elusive Samurai will also get its last (L)CP after this batch, I think it's got a solid few chapters left to play out this last bit and some epilogue stuff. Let Matsui cook!

I'm very curious to see what gets anniversary covers this year

Does Nue get redeemed as it should?

With the lack of color pages does Hima-ten get the Nue 2nd anni treatment?

Will Kagura have more than 1 cover this year (the anni) not including the duo spread with Ichi and will it be tied to an anime announcement?

I predict Shinobi Undercover will get 2 anniversary covers, back to back, you know, it's a duo so is easier to draw :verily

Don't be ridiculous, it's going to be back-to-back covers, one for the anniversary and another for the anime announcement before Nue and Kagura get announced this year

Is it controversial to state that I don't really get where this boost is coming from? Like sure its probably because they're a duo, but also shinobi has been like really mediocre for the past few months.

No, it isn't, no one here really knows what is going on with this level of pushing and advertising from Saito and the editorial, the series is surely popular but they way the editorial is pushing it seems like the series is in a incredible trajectory of popularity but in reality it's barely outselling Hima-Ten which is getting nothing lol
--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

Hima-ten! better be getting a damn anime the next time it gets a color page with how long they've refused to give it one in favor of the eight billionth Shinobi one.
At this point i think is simply Genki Ono struggling to keep with the schedule because it's just bizarre kkkkk
