Alien Headbutt lead cp looks awesome, the mc looks like Dark Schneider from Bastard there :grin

This doesn't feel like a newbie who didn't even published a one shot before lol Editorial must feel really good about this guy to serialize him right away.

Kinato cp is pretty simple but gives me more Fairy Tail vibes which is good i guess kkkk

Btw, doesn't have the chapters yet, only later so i can't speak about it yet.

The crazy thing is that the author in question has not made a single one shot before making a series and look at the color page. That is something very professional looking and I respect that.

Nope, as I recall I think someone here mentioned that he is a former assistant of centuria's author and I can honestly see that with the color page alone.

Matsui wrote one of the best final arcs this magazine has had and I'm extremely sad it won't be appreciated as it deserves. And this is his second time and arguably, his better rendition of an emotional final climax. I love Assassination Classroom and it will always be special to me but he really did one up with Elusive Samurai's finale. It's so so so brilliant.
Neuro's ending is also very emotional and really great. So he's 3/3, one of the best to ever do it.

Looks like a Suda51 game. Excited to read it.

I like what I see here. Overall, I think this batch used color well across its series, which is already a plus.

Does anyone else think the same way?

To me, since we got a returning author from 2024, I think the return of these three authors from 2021 to 2023, who had a failed series, so the ones I think are possible Shinpei Watanabe(Ginka and Gluka), Natsuki Hokami (Hell Warden Higuma), and Minya Hiraga(Neru: Way of the Martial Arts).

Now I will come with rookies, I already spoke about Shinosuke Toujou(Zombie John one-shot) being a strong possibility, however am expecting that we are VERY likely to see Fukamori Shou make an official debut(His one-shot Zanki the Vampire Slayer was the most talked about one-shot outside of Demon on a plate and Grey Keys). Hirokoshi Ame and Shiromoto Shou are two other strong names, I think, who have a massive chance to land a full-on series, but this is still kinda a long shot if this does happen.

As for the Golden Future Cup winner, I think we will probably see Izumi Hakaze of Signal All Red make a debut once Blue Box ends its run.

Lastly, another four names I would like to drop here would be the likes of Hatakeyama Kinya(From Doll Shows one-shot from last year):

Kongon, an author who I think has hidden potential to deliver something akin to a full-blown mystery series, similar to Mushishi:


Yu Odoriba, who made My Little Mars and Bad Tripper, is an author who kinda screams potential.

For the very last one, I will go with a wildcard, just for fun, and say the likes of Okada Masaru, mostly because his art style reminds me of the old style of the likes of both Dragon Ball and One Piece, and I could see a bit of heart in his official one-shot in Jump Giga:



Hope this gives folks some ideas about who is likely to make debuts in the future. But I strongly suspect Kongon, Yu Odoriba, Izumi Hakase, and Fukamori Shou to be the top-pick rookie authors.

I would add Taro Kaneko here, believe me, but given that he is currently an assistant to Kinato's magic, I suspect we won't see him debut this year, unfortunately.

We might actually be 3/3 on promising debuts
Not sure. I don't think this batch is blowing up or anything like that so far and Under Doctor is already disappointing.

Not that there's much competition this month anyway
BORUTO went viral on Japan for the last 3 days, a lot of readers got interested and started buying

I mean even digital NARUTO NEXT GENERATION volumes are ranking pretty well on Amazon

so the fact that boruto was able to get all of its 7 volumes on shoseki ranking is something really special

Has Roboco done jokes about any of the newer hits yet? I can't recall. I think it's done a Hima-ten joke?

Both Under Doctor and Kinato chapters are performing on par with Someone Hertz on J+, that alone is already a big difference compared to the underperformance of the former 3 new series.

I have no evidence for this but i swear Inui Akira got the idea for Alien Headbutt after playing Paul's story mode in Tekken 5 .
