I mean this not as a dig to my fellow Nue fans (Nuesmoker specifically) and I HOPE I'm wrong. But two covers in one year? If it does get one for its anime, then I can see another skip on the anniversary because the editorial department barely acknowledges this series
Nah, honestly you right lol
lol In a scenario where Jump gives a magazine cover solely for anime announcement there's no way in hell they dont give one for anniversary, if the series is important to give a cover for anime, a anniversary one is the very bare minimum.

In reality most likely it will get the anniversary & anime celebrated together with a cover, but if it does get a solo anniversary cover, 99% sure also getting a anime ccover too, not 100% because we have cases like Black Clover and Yozakura that didnt got because they announced on Jump Festa.

Wouldn't take their opinion on Kinato tbh, it's on brand for them to not enjoy it, specially since it's something much more like "Shounen Magazine" than "Shonen Jump", in other Forums the opinions are much more positive.
Is it fair to say the online reception for all 3 seems pretty good then?

"Pretty good" might be a exaggeration but is definitely more positive than negative, but these things can change pretty fast too, it also depends of the place and if you can get the nuances, since i'm doing this for 3 years consecutive i'm already able to recognize some patterns which is why i said about Kinato and Matome because i know a "Narou" style series that looks way more like something from Shonen Magazine / Magazine Pocket will not be instantly popular with them since they have a more "Jump Supremacy" mentality. 5ch can also be tricky, too much dumb haters in the mix. Animanch & Animan seems be much more well balanced opinions and there Kinato is being well received.

Is anyone else experiencing weird issues with the site lately? For some reason, it keeps logging me in and out of the site. I’m on mobile (iPad) btw
Hmm, is happening like today?

Its funny how this batch is talked alot more and in a suprising good way at that than any other batch before and two of this batch are newcomers making their first debut series while the other seems to have learned his lesson from his previous work.

I want to read AB chapter #2 before giving any opinion. The chapter was as alright, but, as some have mentioned, it seemed as if it was cut short, maybe could have been paced differently, etc. He'll probably get some alien powers, otherwise he'd die soon.

Under Doctor's twist in this chapter was kind of obvious. I found it funny that they are in China, kind of following Sakamoto. If it keeps following SDs footsteps, it will take a bit of time before we have more of a plot/storyline.

Kinato was good and funny. We have a bit more info on Kinato's past, and I like the way it was presented -- quite naturally, no hurry, well paced. Next chapter will be full of guild weirdoes.

Wow, Kinato traveled from his village to an Adventurers Guild office and got accepted into the guild within a single chapter? Someone get Yuki Kawaguchi this Jump issue to show them that kind of pacing is possible lmao
Pretty fun and creative exam also

It was a chance to get the other characters to have their own battles without them being just normal fights. I care less about 1v1 battles and more that maybe we could get other weird scenarios like the water slide Mario Kart. In general, I would like to see more action setpieces with specific rules and stuff like that. At this point I think only Hunter x Hunter has this type of battles in the current magazine.
This is actually a really good point. I feel like we haven’t really gotten many moments of a non-Gakuro fight ever since I caught up with the manga back in like the 60s-70s of chapters. Any time we see one of the main girls in a fight it’s usually in tandem with Gakuro in some way, like them showing up to help Gakuro escape the Fujino estate or Ishu assisting against Suzaku. We’ve gotten tiny glimpses for a chapter like that side-thing with the civilians going on during the Suzaku fight, but other than that I can’t immediately recall a fight like that that predates the part where they were fighting their teacher or something.

I probably shouldn’t be too surprised by all of this since Gakuro is the harem MC here, but it would be nice to see more direct spotlight on the girls.

WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP ISSUE #11 (2026) - AUTHOR COMMENTS!

Alien Headbutt (Akira Inui)


It’s my first serialization, so I’m very nervous, but I’ll do my best! I’d be overjoyed if you’d give it a read!


Ichi the Witch (Shiro Usazaki)


I have a lot of fun putting all my dishes perfectly into the dishwasher. I plan to get a job doing this when I grow up.


One Piece (Eiichiro Oda)


I’m sure you’re all enjoying Kusomegane on TikTok, and so am I. What talent!


Someone Hertz (Ei Yamano)


I made the mistake of listening to some ghost stories while working late at night. Oops! Too scary! I’m sorry!


Kinato’s Magic (Kento Amemiya)


I got to participate in the New Year’s party even before my series started! I was so happy to get to talk to so many people.


Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo (Yuji Iwasaki)


Who knew I’d be drawing a character who shares my name? Thanks, my parents. Am I honoring them by doing this?


Sakamoto Days (Yuto Suzuki)


I’m hopeful that someday they’ll sell lightsabers that can elongate realistically.


Shinobi Undercover (Ippon Takegushi)


Winter is starting to reveal its true power, so I’m going to need to unleash the HEATTECH I’ve been saving.


Under Doctor (Kyo Tanimoto)


I’d like to be healthy and exercise during my free time. I’d like to.


Hima-Ten! (Genki Ono)


It’s getting too cold. I’m worried I’ll get sick again and totally mess up my schedule…


Kagurabachi (Takeru Hokazono)


What’s amazing about the Winter Soldier is that he has a special arm but uses a knife as his weapon.


Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi (Shoichi Usui)


Lucky volume 7 is now on sale in Japan! It’s filled to the brim with extras! Check it out!


Witch Watch (Kenta Shinohara)


When clothes I buy don’t fit quite right, I get them altered. I recommend it because you become attached to the clothes.


Me & Roboco (Shuhei Miyazaki)


Volume 25 is now on sale in Japan! I’ve put a lot of effort into even the logo, so please check it out!!


Blue Box (Kouji Miura)


Zootopia 2 was great! Makes me want to watch more stuff with male and female buddy teams.


The Elusive Samurai (Yusei Matsui)


I have the greatest appreciation for everyone who voted for my series. Your votes decide how long the series lives.


Akane-banashi (Yuki Suenaga)


This season, I’m following Jujutsu, Frieren, Journal with Witch, and Sentenced to Be a Hero. They’re all great!


Nue’s Exorcist (Kota Kawae)


I did the luxurious thing where you steam tofu with sake. It’s challenging to drink it all.


Hero Girl and the Demon Lord Call It Quits (Matsuri Hatsubina)


I’m getting better at using common dialect, but when I’m nervous all that comes out is my dialect.


The Mage Next Door (Hideaki Nabe)


Nobody around me can follow my Inazuma Eleven conversations. Why? We’re all a similar age…


Gonron Egg (Shuhei Tanizaki)


I’m drawing in ten-minute increments on my stopwatch. Might be a good method.

It's definitely healthier to take a lot of breaks, but if he finishes drawings in that short time limit that would explain a lot.

Pretty good everywhere but some worry it might be Pong Pong Peril 2.0 that was loved online but flopped hard in the toc & sales, also many comments waiting for the 2nd chapter to get a better idea.

Do you think it’s likely of that happening? What is the overall view over on that j plus stuff you look at?

Anyone have guesses on how many hits we'll get this year? After 2025 only having 1 if you don't count Modulo due to being a sequel.

I'm going to aim high and say 3 hits, with one from this batch being a hit and another making it past ch 30 (with the 3rd getting U19'd).
