If Shinobi doesn't have 1M copies in circulation by Volume 10 then =???
Digital Sales must be crazy if the series gets promoted like this (or saito is just the worst EiC in a while)

You think its sales? I think its a mix of editor bias and then just them being able to pump out this many with little complication (duo).

So I heard there weren't enough Shinobi Undercover color pages

Bruh, at this point we just laugh at it, i don't remember seeing a new manga being this much pushed by the editorial, and i know that there are series like Toriko that technically got much more impressive editorial pushing but the thing is that Toriko was a big hit from the very start, while Shinobi is at best catching up with Nue after 7 volumes and just because Nue has already dropped a bit in sales lmao!

Btw, Ryo mentions the two color pages will connect with each other, so no, there's no chance of the 2nd one being a cover & lead but you just know that Saito was salivating with the idea of giving Shinobi a cover for no reason :XD

I feel like the duo theory doesn't even hold ground cause Modulo (until the end) felt modestly promoted and Akane doesn't get that many color pages anymore. Ichi prob is similar to Shinobi but actually deserves the bunch of promotion it gets.

I can understand a duo getting more chances to do art but 2x or 3x as many as series doing the same or better (i.e. Someone Hertz), it just leaves a bad taste

Yikes

Assuming the previous batch trio all gone. But only Under Doctor and Alien fails, that means Nue no longer has cushion

This is clearly Saito being in love with this series a bit too much, being a duo just really helps him to excuse his bias, if you already count these 2 consecutive color pages, Shinobi has got 5 color pages in the last 10 chapters, a average of 1 color page every other chapter! And for what? nothing has happened, the manga is selling as same with at best 1k ~ 3k growth lol

I wonder why Saito is sooo in love with this series, i wonder if he really sees it as something that will for sure blow up with a anime adaptation, not saying is impossible but so far the series sales performance has been decent to good at best.

At the very least I want him to go wild. Give Himaten a LCP, give Nue one, give Kiyoshi one. Don't only push shinobi.

Shinobi anime is gonna be like solo leveling, a real good sleep aid.

Cushions are only needed for new series, Kill Blue was rushed despite even ranking outside the bottom and having plenty of cushions lol

The only way Nue no longer has a cushion is if every single new series after Alien Headbutt succeeds (which obviously isn't going to happen). Modulo, Blue Box, Sakamoto, Witch Watch, we're entertaining Roboco ending for real now based on the recent chapters...plus Hima-ten! and Kiyoshi would get axed before Nue probably if they really had to cut established series that aren't already ending to make room for newer ones.

I'm sure by mouth you mean they are good in communicating verbally with Saito and the editors so they get these color pages and etc, right..?!

I didn't even complain about another color page for Shinobi, but getting two is hilarious.

I agree with Shinuki here, can't remember ever a series being this pushed relative to its performance and at the expense of all the other series. lol I don't even buy the "it's growing" argument -- shouldn't it be growing much more considering it's pushed like a Kagurabachi and Ichi tier hit? Hima-ten basically keeps up with it with almost no support.

Well, the thing is that Hima-ten and Kiyoshi did got a cover last year, only Nue didn't :twitch

If i was the EiC i wouldn't necessarily "go wild" but i would for sure give at the very least one random cover for Hima-ten & Kiyoshi besides their anniversaries, if nearly all your big series can barely keep up with drawing a simple color page, let alone a cover & lead, just give some extra covers to the smaller but estabilished ones lol I don't know why is this such a hard concept for the Jump editorial to learn.
