I believe that all the 3 new series will get the axe. Maybe maybe Under doctor will pull up a miraculous survival

There's no need of miraculous survival because Under Doctor is not getting axed, they're literally opening a Twitter right now, they're not going to do that to axe the series in a couple of weeks :grin

Forgive the question but: Does having Twitter account really significant or no?

It doesn't mean it's surviving for a year but they would not open a twitter account for a series they're about to axe in just a couple of weeks, that would make zero sense.

Whats up with Akane ranking so low lately? Is the current arc not doing well in the survey polls?

But Kiyoshi's good placements give me more and more hope for a anni cover 🙏🙏

Reading the previous pages wondering about Under Doctor's color page or cover just for it to get bottom 3 is funny.

Blue Luffy looks pretty cool for me. Nice to see a football cover not associated with a flop manga for once.

The lack of a 4th colour page looks weird in the ToC since the ones we do have are so high up that the whole second half of the magazine has nothing going on.

Under Doctor really isn't doing well during the battle arc's chapters being ranked, but I'm curious to see if it can rise back up with the two most recent chapters focusing more on the characters and the medical side.

Blue hat Luffy looks weird, rather than a collab it feels like Oda coloured him in wrong.

Did not expect Akane to be the one in the bottom while Nue, Kiyoshi or Roboco are the ones above lmao!

Btw, the series has clearly been in a lower trend for a while, even with a anime running.

The new Haiji Kino art from the twitter banner is indeed from Volume 1! Meanwhile Kinato 1 has the "main" trio on it. Hopefully we get scans without them big ass watermarks soon.

I wouldn't think too much about Akane's placement to be honest. All the series it's under have ranked above it plenty of times, the only odd one out is Nue and even then it's only by one spot. It just looks weird because we still have three unranked series clogging up the ToC imo.

EDIT: Obviously the anime failed to produce a boost, I'm not disputing that. I just don't think it's suddenly going to become a bottom-dweller.

Giving low priority to Akane, even with the anime, is weird. But it's safe enough it'll only end when the authors feel like it, so it doesn't matter much.

Also, I don't know why people are acting as if the Akane anime is a massive flop? Like, sure, it's not a Elusive Samurai or Blue Box-level boost or anything but the boost it's getting is pretty above average for the industry. Heck, the latest episode got 8 volumes back on the shoseki daily. The digital volumes are also doing well on amazon and rakuten. It's a bigger boost than stuff like Witch Watch and Undead. Heck, there were people acting as if Kill Blue was some breakout success doing better than Akane when it hasn't gotten a volume back on the Daily Shoseki in weeks and the digital volumes are now much lower ranked. I'm not saying Kill Blue is a massive flop, but when people on here act like Akane is a major flop which will be a bottom dweller, it gets annoying.

Also, as for the rankings, it's extremely blatant that Saito's giving preference to his own series while treating Nakano's series like shit (aside from Sakamoto).

I don't want Akane to be Hinomarued 😭

I need to check what happened 7~8 chapters ago. I don't remember it being something too inexpressive or "boring". But if the position stays low, even though the most recent excellent chapters and the start of the Karaku Cup in the anime...

Regarding the recent trend, I guess it could be related to Someone Heartz. It seems to me that the decline started when SH skyrocketed through the rankings.. I guess someone needs to plot every series position over time (at least over the last year) so that we could take a better look at it.

EDIT: Actually, they have it here: https://www.jajanken.net/en/

--

EDIT: According to this source, one clearly sees the lower position trend from Chapter 189 onwards. It also matches the fact that Moue has a newborn, I even mentioned this after a bottom 5 placement in February.
