#2. No bait or troll comments with the intention of being annoying or starting serious heated discussions, if i notice it's a continuous behavior, i will warn the user or delete the comment.
#3. No toxic attitude towards series, no one is obligated to enjoy any series and it's totally fine to criticize what you don't like, just avoid posting gratuitous hateful or toxic comments about X or Y series, if i notice this behavior, comments will be deleted.
#4. Don't bring politics or off-topic stuff to the thread, this is about Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and mangas, so keep any conversation about topics that aren't related about anime & manga outside the thread.
#5. Don't post news about series from other magazine or publishers in the WSJ thread, post in the series own thread, but it's fine if you're mentioning other series or magazine to express a opinion or reflection about Shonen Jump.
#6. Any tweet, specially japanese, about news, update or some interesting thing about the magazine or series has to come with a text of what that tweet means and also be on topic, if not it's going to be either deleted or i will edit the post.
#7. Refrain from self advertising or advertising Youtubers videos in the comments.
#8. Constant fanart posts just for the sake of praising a favorite series is prohibited, this rule doesn't apply for official art by Jump artists posted on social media, they're fine to post.
#9. Don't discuss or hype chapter spoilers before Sunday release, only comment if is related to a series surviving status and do it only inside the spoiler tag.
#10. Regarding rule #9, an exception will be made for when we have new series, in this case, spoilers will be allowed only for the first 3 chapters of a new series for the users who are interested in knowing informations and details about the new series, these spoilers will obviously be kept under tags to protect anyone that doesn't want to be spoiled, so don't worry about it.
~ Shinuki

I hope everyone reads the rules and use it as a guide to behave well in the thread, thanks! :kkthumbs

I just don't get what went wrong for Kinato. If anyone has any thoughts of why the JP didn't like it and the first chapters, I'd appreciate it. I'm just really bewildered how the same standard is kept nowadays. This next chapter of Roku needs to be a hoot f it wants to stay. Big chapter for drawn by fire too; I presume chapter 1 did well since it's basically just the well received one shot.

I thought Sorachi said Gintama was close to cancelation but he was able to turn things around after a couple volumes. Does that mean it was successful enough but on the edge?
Nothing went wrong with Kinato's Magic. It's amazing. The trend is more important than a random week in the back. Fans read series no matter where they are at in the magazine.

It's just so weird to me because Kinato just felt like a hit. Good humor, positive online reception, creative solutions to problems using the main character's unique ability, good art...usually when a new series comes on you can kind of read their fate at the start especially with Shinkui's hard work at monitoring the JP forums and so the Kinato seeming miss was pretty shocking (really the whole batch, but I expected UD and Headbutt to flounder),

Why would Kagurabachi get the lead for the double issue ? That doesn't really make any sense.

The exact same thing happened with akane banashi last year and it only got the cover after the double issue.

Mhm...

ISSUE 21 Prediction:
Lead - Sakamoto Days (live action + volume)
Colors: Class 2-B, Me & Roboco and Alien Headbutt

ISSUE 22/23 Prediction:
Lead - Kagurabachi (volume + anime? popularity poll?)
Colors: Someone Hertz, Kiyoshi and Hima-ten (all 3 for volume releases)

ISSUE 24 (Bonus for fun):
Surely Ichi the Witch for volume release (idk if cover or just colorpage)
We already know that the new manga by the mangaka of gintama is starting on issue 21 so it will get the covver.

Shoot, well headbutt headed straight to the bottom, and Under Doctor recovered a bit. So I guess we really will see 2 out for June.

Poor Kinato... Under Doctor's fluctuations are giving me some hope but it's probably just cope.

Himaten color page too is unexpected, and I guess the kagurabachi cover will be for 23 then?

If Under Doctor can be in the bottom 3 last week and rise outside the bottom in this week, i will still keep the hope for Kinato! 🙏

Under Doctor is surviving this round at least
