Like I said before, if UD succeeds? Good for the author, truly. In terms of do I want it to out of the three... anyways guys, Shinobi glaze, amirite?
I would be glad if Under Doctor survives because i like the series what i mean is that it would be definitely weird if Kinato is a flop considering is constanly being talked & praised while Under Doctor is the only success considering the series really hasn't made much waves online after the 1st chapter.

That just means Hokazono can't fully deal with a weekly serialization lol Jump itself has heavily promoted and positioned Shinobi Undercover as a potential big hit / future flagship series since the double issue #4-5 cover, and even used Roboco recently to directly promote the series alongside all the flagship series + Someone Hertz, this isn't about being a color page machine anymore, is just the editorial shoving the series on everybody's face.
Jump trying to promote a 18k seller as the next big hit along side ichi and kgb is honestly really funny to me lol

The worst part is they literally just got Hertz (which sold 50k in its volume 1). They're allowed to have solid mid-ranking series! But like Shinobi, not Akane, not Witch Watch, not even Nue, is being treated as their big thing lol.

I do wonder, assuming it ends up popular how long would Sorachi go for, I can't see him doing another 10+ year long manga again.
I doubt we'll have another series on Jump that lasts 10 years.

Hey Id agree and I'd love to chock it up to editorial weirdness but only thing I've learned to trust is the TOC and it sucked this week lol (for Kinato specifically but also Nue should be higher smh)

I don't understand the need for a color page for Kagurabachi

Hima-ten! has gotten one color page since 2026 started despite still not being consistently trapped in the bottom 5 of the TOC. These are going to be color pages 7 and 8 for Shinobi, including a LEAD color page earlier in the year. Shinobi only sells slightly more than Hima-ten!, only has slightly more followers on Twitter, most weeks are close to the same amount of tweets about them when chapters come out. They are not worlds apart in terms of reception.

They couldn't give Hima-ten! one of those 8 color pages?

Tbh I think this is a case of Ono not wanting color pages, over not receiving them. Look if Kiyoshi is getting more color pages than it, its not a popularity thing lol.

Hey guys, I'm curious about something.
Are you guys familiar with this special issue of Jump from 2013 called "Jump VS" where it's basically a collection of battle one-shots by all sorts of rookie mangaka. There are plenty of one-shots in there by some noteworthy names such as the Stealth Symphony pilot, a one-shot by the Magico author, pilot versions of Iron Knight, Yoakemono & Cyborg Roggy, and one-shots by Gen Osuga, Ryo Ishiyama, Tatsuya Suganuma & the ST&RS duo.
I came here to ask this because I am curious if anyone has this issue and/or the raws for the various one-shots in here because I'm very curious about a lot of these one-shots because I can't seem to find anything about them online and I would greatly appreciate it if anyone's able to, please and thanks in advance

Yeah but I don't think i can find the raw anywhere, literally from 13 years ago and not even at the time it was available to download, but there was a few of the one shots that were translated in english:

Goblin Knight: https://mangadex.org/chapter/a254fc1f-a910-48b0-8da3-22cf1a334b16/1

Stealth Symphony: https://mangadex.org/chapter/d07f82a5-d68b-4375-b93f-cc7ddd3151b5/2

Kokodake no Himitsu: https://mangadex.org/chapter/c3be9661-de48-4c98-9b7f-710e82efa9a2

Parasite B: https://mangadex.org/chapter/bf51ebdd-7b6c-44cc-8fdf-d92250be2a71/1

I know the one shot of Cyborg Roggy is included in the vol 2 of the serialization, i think the same with Yoakemono.

If there is anything to worry about with Kinato, it's the lack of color page. Or maybe it's delayed to make way for the new series and another Shinobi color page.

I think that only handwaves so much. Kiyoshi and Nue both only have 3 color pages this year, and if Hima-ten! was at that much too, I'd think yeah Ono just doesn't want to do them, but it's getting the Kill Blue treatment right now.

Also like, the most common critique of Hima-ten!'s color pages are that they're lazy because they're basically the same thing every time and even get reused for volume covers sometimes. Hima-ten!'s one of the few series where you can work around an author who might not be able to do color pages as much without making it obvious they can't do color pages lol

The only recent example I could find of color pages for surviving series of the same batch not being similar was the 2023 round where Kill Blue got a color page on Ch.8 and Nue on Ch.12

About Hima-Ten i do also think is more like Ono not wanting to do it much because he might not be able to handle, i have noticed sometimes his drawing lines get a bit rougher in some panels like this last chapter, also the constant reuse of color pages for volume covers adds to the argument, but yeah i agree that the difference between Shinobi & Hima-ten treatment when they're not even 3k apart in sales is just crazy

From what I see, there will be no announcement coming from AnimeJapan or Cygames anniversary, since it has no cover for Kagurabachi in the next issues.

There's also Ichinose getting at ch10 & Cipher Academy on ch24, both survived 50+ chapters so they count

Cop & Dolphin, Ayakashi Triangle, Magu-chan & Roboco got color pages on ch10, ch14 & ch16 (Magu & Roboco)

Mashle got on ch12 & Undead Unluck on ch16

Yozakura got on ch14 & Mitama on ch21
