So why the hell did they give under doctor an early color page again?
Because it got a good reception in the first chapters, the first few chapters of UD got a pretty positive reception online and etc.

Yeah something is going wrong if every single batch is going straight to the bottom. It used to be that Jump could get at least one hit every other batch but the last two years, it has been all bottom slumming with the exception of Someone Hertz.

I don't know what the solution for this is but its not a good sign that when Jump is in the weakest position they've been in several decades, all their new series either aren't clicking or being given the chance to click. I was thinking they'd have a nice set of series a few years from now when OP is in its final arc but it's not looking good right now
Feels like survival is always more about timing than quality. Had Kinato get serialized when there are more cushions, it would have survived better.

With how text heavy Sorachi is, I wonder how gen alpha/gen z readers in Japan will respond to his new series. It's what makes me worry the most in regards to its survival.
They gonna ask chatgpt to summarize the chapter and tell them which new series to vote

Sounded like an announcement for whatever new jjk spinoff.

1 may is : vol 3 modulo relese, it gonna have new stuff in Jump giga (maybe merch or short interview etc). Way too much of a coincidence.

Plus, it is so obvious that Tsurugi and Rika is the prototype of how the new gen MC gonna fight in JJK spinoff set hundred of years later

LMAO It's so hard to imagine newcomers having a major success in WSJ nowadays. Hertz is probably the only natural success after ruri and bluebox. And as much as i like kagurabachi, even that one had an unforeseen meme backing it. (And it still somehow manage to rank last place at one point.)

They didn't post but there are a bunch of image teases in the announcement page:

-Bullet
-Bird/Eagle
-Ring Necklace
-Goldfish
-Tattered Book

Bullet might be Sakamoto Days, Ring Necklace has to be Hunter x Hunter, Goldfish will be Kagurabachi and Tattered Book is probably Black Clover, the bird/eagle i don't know

Guys, i think we might actually get Kagurabachi anime announced lol and HxH return!

I'm going to get the page announcement tomorrow for sure 🙏

Save getting extremely lucky by finding another Kagurabachi, I think their best bet short term is to bring back an extremely big author like Sorachi per batch, and hope the wave of excitement for said author coming back is enough to carry multiple series in the batch until they have a full lineup again. Saito's successes so far came when they brought in the Iruma-kun author to Jump and when Jujutsu Kaisen came back. Shinobi and Someone Hertz are both good series, but I think a decent amount of their success is owed to the fact that Ichi and Modulo brought in a ton of readers that normally don't follow Jump (or stopped following it when Kaisen ended), checked out the other new series in their respective batches because might as well, and thought they were good enough to stick around and follow them as well (while Hakutaku was pretty terrible and not worth following).

It's not realistic or perfect, and at some point this strat probably has limited returns (there's only so many big names willing to come back to Jump after all), but it's really all they got since new Jump series by not established names have been struggling to generate hype on their own for years now.

I knew it. I mean the last few chapters had a title drop in there and we will expect this tournament to wrap the story up. I would give the series 14-15 chapters to conclude, but I would not doubt it if it was less and Saito will give us a definitive number to know how much longer it will last.

Can i see the link to the image teasers?

Because ring necklace can also mean Rika (JJK). And Modulo basically lay groundwork for future get to fight like Rika+Tsurugi.

Modulo has always seem like a groundwork for new jjk franchise.

****

And maybe bullet means the bullet from KHR lol. Anime revival.

Jump needs to try their hand on a FeMC action series. That's like the only thing selling even when it comes to anime originals.

Gacha ruin the industry.

Where's tate roll or this?

Depending on what type of bird it is, it could be teasing something about Haikyu! Maybe there's a new trailer, or key visual, or news about the movie.
