The Akane Banashi anime starts next month?

Better get started on reading the manga, then. Just saw it's only 198 chapters. After binging One Piece for months, 198 chapters is nothing.

Since many years, every Issue 18 had a cover advertising an anime:
Witch Watch in 2025
Yozakura Family in 2024
Mashle in 2023
(No Jump anime in Spring 2022)
(For 2021, not in issue 18 but MHA got a cover at issue 16 and Black Clover at issue 17 around the anime ending. Wasn't here by that time so idk if the covers were for these occasions.)
(No Jump anime in Spring 2020)
Demon Slayer in 2019

So, I think it's safe to assume that Akane will get the next cover. (with a fujimaki one-shot color page pleaseee)



Anyway, let's try some predictions!

For the issue 17 ranking, I'd say Ichi, OP, Hertz, Shinobi & Sakamoto in top 5.
For the bottom 5, Hima-Ten, Roboco, and the usual bottom 3. Gonron not ending yet.
Kinato will start at 7 and Under Doctor 9.
Saito will put Nue color page under Kiyoshi's one for some reason (/j)

And about issue 18 preview, of course Akane cover, with Ichi OR Kinato ; Hima-Ten! and a Fujimaki one-shot in color pages.

Talking about anime covers & Fujimaki, to think if wasnt for Saito stupidity Kill Blue would for sure get the magazine cover on Issue #19 for the anime broadcast on April 11, but we got robbed from that, damn i hate Saito 😭

Would still be nice if we can get a big extra chapter for Kill Blue with color pages to celebrate the anime, if í remember Mashle got one with 2nd Season broadcast...

My predictions:

-Akane-banashi will have the cover & lea color pages for the anime broadcast

-Color pages will be: Someone Hertz, Kinato's Magic and either Kagurabachi or a One Shot, probably OS.

-Kinato's Magic 1st ranking will be in the Top 5 like Under Doctor!

-Under Doctor is going to drop (not like it can go much higher lol than 5th) but it will not be in the bottom

-Bottom 5 will be: Gonron Egg (still not last chapter), The Mage Next Door, Hero Girl & Demon Lord, Me & Roboco and Hima-Ten!

-Top 5 will be: One Piece, Someone Hertz, Ichi the Witch, Sakamoto Days and Kinato's Magic

UD second placement not as bad when you consider how little there is to rank. Conversely, Kinato's is pretty good with that in mind.

The question now is: Is Under Doctor really got legs or are we doing a similar situation to the MMYY/Kagura/Two on Ice round where EVERYTHING will get a color page

Akane too low but with the cover next week it's whatever. Feels like Someone Hertz lately has replaced Akane at the top of the TOC

Sango Iwakami published a oneshot in Jump Giga Winter 2026 titled "Yuki Ni Shuura". Quick turnaround so more excited than usual to see what they got

And just like i said, Saito & cia would find a way to put Nue color page as the 3rd one even when it's against the lowest selling series of the magazine...

Kagurabachi fans about to lose it like what do you mean the expected outcome was wrong again. This series is not getting a cover till the anime announcement at this rate and at least we can't even blame editorial in the same way nue fans can...

oh well, at least Under Doctor and Kinato stocks are paying off. Optimistic for these two!

Gonna be honest, Giga is an area I'm kinda unfamiliar with. Phantom usually got the links so maybe they'll know how reception was.

Still, considering how many newbie authors we've had who could do another one shot like Kobayashi and the lack of oneshots in general on the year, feels like Jump has a bit more confidence in them than other GIGA authors (except Daiki Nono of course)

Fuck yea for Under Doctor getting a color page, and Kinato for a top 5 first rank.
I think Under Doctor just needs more time to bake to really show off what it's capable of. Have high hopes for it.

Don't know about the reception, but the one shot in GIGA was actually quite good and atmospheric, so i'm looking forward :super

If Alien Headbutt's 5th next week and Kinato gets a color page in #19, then they're definitely doing the Mamayuyu/Kagurabachi/Two on Ice thing again where they pretend like all 3 had equally good reception at the start before the volume sales made it obvious they were all in different tiers of popularity. For now though I'll take this as a good sign for Kinato's popularity.

Another series getting consecutive color pages. I realize an anime debut is one of the more justifiable reasons to give a series consecutive color pages, but this is already the fifth time this year that they've done this and it doesn't feel like it's actually a special thing when a series gets consecutive color pages anymore.

They didn't really pretend Two on Ice was getting good reception, it went straight to bottom 2 after the color page on ch8 and they still gave another color page on chapter 14 after being more than obvious it was a flop, that was just some unnusual advertisement tactic kkkkk
