The WSJ issue that is supposed to released on April 27 is a double issue, so Kagurabachi won't get the cover. Therefore, I doubt that it is the announcement of the anime... :emobirb

Perhaps just a teaser for a future announcement or even worse: the results of the popularity poll.

It would be funny (and extremely Saito) for Shinobigoto to get an anime announcement before Kagurabachi, and the earliest of any series in years. He is absolutely desperate for it to be a big hit.

He cannot get anything else off the ground though, damn, another possibly insta-dead batch. Saito is not very good at picking what to serialise.

It is funny that there were people that were saying that all 3 manga are hits up until last week. And it is turning out that all 3 look like flops.

And in regards to the jump press announcement, I am predicting.

- Sakamoto Days live action movie 2 announcement
- haikyuu movie pv
- Hxh return
- Kagurabachi anime announced
- Black Clover s2 pv

Cant be Haikyu. Main team is Crow and their opponent for the next movie is a seagull.

I really thought the same. It is a Press before a break. Doesn't make sense for it to be an anime announcement. I would be surprised if it were.

Isn't bachi getting an anime announcement before nue what most people expected ?
Well, Chojo got an anime before Bachi, so... It is not really an issue of what started before.

We haven't seen the page yet. The person who saw it could just be wrong about what type of bird it's supposed to be. Also:
Hoshiumi's pro team in the final arc is the Golden Eagles. The movie could try tying together the final arc's match with Karasuno vs Hoshiumi's team since it'll be several years before we get a full adaptation of the final arc.

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.
Considering how long a manga needs to get ready before serialization (from 3 months to half a year, maybe even longer if we count the brain storm phase), I think Nakano might have been the one that got Ichi

I really just have to wonder if there’s an apathy around new series in jump now. Like unless there’s a big name returning, or the series gets lucky and goes viral, we’re getting like record low viewership for each new batch. You know it’s bad when like dead anemone’s viewership from 2 years ago is something that most new batches can only dream of attaining.
And so I wonder if that lack of viewership translates into a lack of votes. This decline did seem to match up with jjk and mha ending, so it very well may be that people only stick with jump to see their existing series off, but they don’t care enough to check out the new series. This is just a vibes based take tho.

I am sad to see the 2026 newbies get dumped this low, but on the other hand... What else would you even dump to the bottom 5 anyway? I don't see any way that Alien Headbutt or Under Doctor could be more talked about, appealing or popular than Kinato, so it's questionable whether the order really is Alien Headbutt > Hima-Ten! (Lol) >Under Doctor > Kinato

To me, it seems like they're out of options and cushions for that bottomside and chose the newbies to go there, they'd have the least amount of supporters anyway. Hard to say whether they'd be in the zone of getting axed at the moment. Why Hima-ten there? Maybe it needed more ninjas, I dunno.

Why announce that you’re going to make an announcement in three weeks instead of just announcing it now? Are they that desperate for attention?

Yesterday by myself: "Kiyoshi will never do a good results again, it will be the classic 8th average place.. I don't want to get my hopes up."
Today: "Top 4"

Sorry Usui, I won't doubt you again!

I’m still confused on where people are getting this “ring necklace is kurapika” stuff from. I want hxh to return too, but we literally have a different series where the characters wore a ring necklace (jjk). Plus ryo pretty explicitly called it a ring necklace (I check his site and it literally says “Ringu no nekkuresu”), and I assume he would recognize that kurapika’s chains are not a necklace, as he stated he hoped hxh would return like 3 lines after that.

Because Yuta is extremely irrelevant lmao.

Meanwhile, Kurapika is the mc for the current arc and might as well be the poster child of the manga right now as oppose to Gon.

as he stated he hoped hxh would return like 3 lines after that.
Ryo is no more than a jump reader than us.

Yuta's grandkids were the main characters of the sequel where his ring was an important plot device.
