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).
Under Doctor being the hit?

I dunno, I have a certain gut feeling this is going to be a more successful batch that some might think. Now for the rest of the year? Hm, it’s a bit hard to guess as being successful means being quite consistent with what you write and all that stuff. Personally speaking given how many series are set to end this year, am gonna go for around four to five at the very best, I will be very incredulous if it can get higher than that.

Just watched the vomic for RuriDragon, and I have to say, they really nailed Ruri’s VA! I hope they’ll keep her for the eventual anime!

Alien Headbutt and Under doctor
But kinatos Magic is so flippin' fun
C'mon guys, all three were good fun. Also Shark, we both know what you meant when Kinato is "fun" for you.

But I do agree is its quite a breath of fresh air to see something that is not overpowered fantasy slop. Sorry, to many bad experiences coming back to haunt me.

Pietro, Kinato is a good series and is doing a lot better in terms of progress than Ort ever did in the span of a two chapters.

Now, on to more interesting matters: since elusive samurai is ending, what should we expect from Yusei Matsui from now on? Honestly speaking, I think he deserves rest, he honestly needs it after pulling triple successes in the magazine.

Should probably have another series. Bills need to be paid. Why else refresh AssClass in 2026? Not sure Elusive Samurai middling success has allowed him to live a stress free life.

Shark, if you made success three times in a row, would you not want to just sit back and bask on the achievement by trying to relax for a little while? I know I would if that ever happens to me during my writing career.

I'm personally hoping that Alien and Kinato survive. Considering 2024 had two rounds of two survivors, I'm hoping 🤞

(I also would sacrifice one of the 2024 low sellers of need be 😶)

They aren't in any danger. There is a batch of 3 still left to axe and a ton of series ending.
Not claiming they're in danger, just saying if for whatever reason it was needed. I would make a deal with a devil (Saito) to keep Kinato or Alien by removing one of those 2024 series lol. It's all jest...for now 😈

All 3 chapters of the latest batch have positive reception judging from the comments. I hope they all survive.

I hope this doesn't become a big issue to readers but Tanimoto seems to make dumb writing mistake for not fact checking himself prior
- president of istanbul (i thought this was a translation error but it seems japanese readers brought it up as well)
- converting 500m yuan to yen equates to 1 billion as stated in the manga, eventhough it's generally 10b+ irl
- I also heard that the surgery he did on Ishiguro (being done in 58mins) is actually on the slower end, not 90 min as mentioned by ishiguro. 30mins is what you would considered fast.

How many is it now? Will it last a whole season this time?
His format is has been 10 chapters, for like over a decade now. Last time he returned when only 5 or 6 of them were submitted. At this rate, by the time he returns, 419 will be completed as well. So it'll be surprising if his return isn't alongside modulo ending.

People (not exactly here, but in general) making up this idea that this whole batch is a hit are setting themselves up for disappointment. It's way too soon, did everyone just forget the initial reception of Ping Pong Peril?
