After 4 weeks, Someone Hertz sales are actually on par with Ichi the Witch vol 1 sales at the time:

Ichi the Witch #1 (46,812) - 23 Days
Ichi the Witch #1 (50,572) - 30 Days (Since week 1 was only 2 days, i decided to also include the version with 5 weeks)
Someone Hertz #1 (45,290) - 28 Days


And the big reprints are about to hit yet.

Also, lemme do some predictions!

So, for issue 12, right?
I can see two options.
First one:
WITCH WATCH anniversary cover, EluSam ending color page, Alien (Head)butt 2nd chapter CP and Nue CP (please)

Second one:
TES anniversary cover (that means it will end in issue 13 with a consecutive color page), Allen (Head)butt 2nd chapter CP, Modulo CP or Nue or Hima-Ten! (please)

I think the first option is the most realistic one, but we will see this night (yeah leaks are usually released between 4am and 10am for me, lol)

My first post of the year wooo. Been lurking the whole time but just not having much to contribute. I just wanted to drop in to say I am putting my stocks in Alien Headbutt. I really hope it is something like Chainsaw Man for the magazine, something stylish and weird and different. The issue cover is giving me hope that it may be, wow!

I felt compelled to talk about everything I read this week for some reason.


Gonron egg is so amateurish. Both in the story and the art department.

Also, the premise of the chapter just doesn't really make sense. Why would gonron not lying prove that ohma is the Prince? Gonron could have just been lied to about that.


This chapter of the mage next door was enjoyable but it felt kind of meaningless. Them becoming teachers didn't help them find the magic users in the end .


Roboco was pretty fun this week.
Gorilla's request and the hxh references were quite funny.
Also, was there a 6 7 joke this week or was that unintentional lol


Nue was amazing as always , this was a really fun chapter.


Hero Girl and Demon Lord was fine. The new characters were okay and some jokes were well done. Although I didn't really love the premise of the chapter.


Someone hertz was alright this week. I am typically more positive about someone hertz than this but this was a bit of an off week.


This was a pretty good in between chapter for akane banashi.


Under Doctor was underwhelming this week as well and the art felt like it took a step down from last week. This series just isn't very interesting imo and lacks much personality.


I actually enjoyed the first chapter of the new series despite my expectations of it. I didn't think it was amazing but it was an enjoyable 7.5/10. The male side character is actually interesting this time (unlike in shadow eliminators). And I didn't really expect the twists this chapter had. The main character is fine but I don't like the fact that he just one shot that dragon.

In general , while I enjoyed this chapter I am not that hopeful that this will maintain my interest in the future since it seems to be heading in a very cliche direction.


Sakamoto Days was really fun this week as usual.


Kagurabachi was hype as fuck this week again. This climax to the arc as a whole has been amazing.

Really good backstory chapter for ichi the witch. As expected , the cliffhanger last chapter was bait but I am enjoying the direction this is heading.

Modulo is peak cinema as always. Both art and story have been firing on all cylinders.

I don't really treat one piece as part of my weekly reads nowadays. I love every chapter that comes out but I enjoy the series more if I read it in batches.


I don't "read" the rest of the magazine but I will skim through the pages of the other series to see what is going on.

Hooooly, I really like those colors.
The colouring of black/really dark green and kinda neony green reminds me of Kaiju No. 8 tbh....hopefully it turns out better than that lol

Guess it's curtains for Elusive Samurai. Damn Jump loses a pretty decently selling mainstay. Hopefully this batch nets a another big one (which I think it will it's the most I've enjoyed the opening chapters of a batch in some time) to replace it properly since we're losing Modulo to pretty soon.

And Elusam is the first of many this year. No way Sakamoto or Blue Box survive till the end of the year with some of their recent chapters.

Main points cause I'm tired lol:
- Alien Headbutt looks very cool. Even if this series is just hype moments and aura, if it can do that well; gg
- Same time, everyone doomed on Kinato from its cover and premise, while turning out okay to great overall. So, I'll be cautiously optimistic still with this one
- There's the Hima color page!! You're welcome everybody for summoning it. Guess Shinobi's artist was tired this week
- Goodbye The Elusive Samurai. Really hoped for one more cover but alas. Matsui has delivered a hard to do 3/3. Whatever he does next, he's definitely made his mark
- Nobody has commented yet on High School Family getting a special chapter? Lol, it's like Jump reads this thread. Anywho, wonder if that means Nakama will be coming back sometime soon
- Bottom 5 mostly makes sense except for Akane. She doesn't deserve to be that low
- Edit: Looks like same color page placement as Under Doctor from a quick look so 🙂‍↕
