Ki-oon has MHA, JJK, Akane-Banashi, Erased, Orb, Beastars, Golden Kamuy, Kindergarten Wars, Apothecary Diaries, Pandora Hearts, Phantom Busters, Ubel Blatt, Valkyrie Apocalypse... and many other things. It's one of the biggest publisher in the french market.

Btw, the information in the tweet isn't exact, Ichi the Witch is the best start of ki-oon, but it hasn't surpassed frieren overall sales, just vol 1 sales at launch. Frieren did 10K at start, so Ichi just surpassed that. Frieren has obviously more than that now with 15 volumes. I think it wasn't clear in Mogura tweet lol.

Ichi is really big in France rn, many ads everywhere, even on TV, or at bus stations. Crazy.
Info was correct tho, it stated “manga launch”

My ranking of Issue #12 2026 :

1st - Kagurabachi #112
2nd - Someone Hertz #21
3rd - Nue's Exorcist #133
4th - Kinato's Magic #3
5th - Alien Headbutt #2
6th - Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi #80
7th - Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo #22
8th - Shinobi Undercover #69
9th - Ichi the Witch #70
10th - The Mage Next Door #14
11th - Under Doctor #4
12th - Hima-Ten! #78
13th - Hero Girl and Demon Lord Call It Quits #13
14th - Gonron Egg #15

What a fantastic issue again!!! Even Gonron was pretty enjoyable (still, I am kinda worried about the author, with this art..)
Anyway, KGB P1 is finished, that was really great overall and as a chapter a good transition to the next arcs, hype! On another hand, Someone Hertz was sooooo funny this week. Glad we have new cast! Nue was again so good this week, very hyped for next week (tomorrow) with a color page finally! (very good color btw).
Kiyoshi/Modulo/Shinobi/Ichi were all great with hype moments that I loved!
MND will always be funny to me, I'll miss it when it will be axed.
Hima-Ten! & HGDL were pretty cool too!! I think I will like more the next chapters of HGDL, idk why.

And now, about our newbies:
Under Doctor had a nice chapter... But I'm still not fully convinced, like, please stop we know you're a doctor, man. Action parts are pretty enjoyable tho, overall nothing mind-blowing but yeah I like it. It needs a bit more to convince me yet.
About Kinato, winner of the batch for me. It's just so fun, so fresh, it has a soul, I love it already... Please live!! I love the characters, and the first mission seems already interesting lol
And finally, Alien Headbutt! It's also very cool as a second chapter, loved the hype moment (literally) and yeah, I want to see more new alien design.

Overall, fantastic. This Jump era is great to me ngl.

What is cool/funny to see with the ufotable announcement is that a lot of people on Japanese twitter wanted it to be a Toriko remake (referencing the 2009 OVA they did)

I don't think Ufotable will touch Jump property for a while even after Kimetsu. They most likely have stuff planned for Kimetsu even after the trilogy

The only jump related thing in the Ufotable promo reel they posted was Demon Slayer Infinity Castle 2 logo and the ScreenX rerelease of the first movie. Hype.

Yeah i was thinking too, for a round that is getting so much praise, the 3 new series 1st chapter didn't really got as much votes as i expected, none got 1st place which was something kinda usual for popular 1st chapters, still, at least Kinato is already getting tons of votes.

Gotta be one of my most stereotypical-looking top 5’s. Excited for part 2 of Bachi, hope that Hokazono can get enough pseudo-breaks to treat us to more whimsical side-chapters to break up the likely more serious tone of the upcoming part. We still need those Sojo chapters to find their way into a physical volume.

Definitely not at all how I would’ve predicted the Elusive Samurai ending, but I do think for something so historical this did a great job of drawing attention back to the main character and the heart of the series whole also just being honest with it’s ridiculousness.

Back here after a few days of vacation

Kinato with a through and through lesbian character was a nice surprise. Specially after the Gawain fiasco from the other magazine

Announced like PPP, uh?
Btw, for comparison, PPP had this announcement for issue 47 and ended on issue 49. Let's see if we have the same gap here.

I think it's not that unusual. Last year, Otr started on issue 24, while Harukaze Mound started on issue 29.

It might not even be a new batch, perhaps only Gonron will end being replaced with HxH's next 10 chapters with a longer gap between new series again.
