Anyway uhhhh. 3 new series? And only alien ending? I know we had an extra slot open but like, this is kinda weird, is it not?
--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

Whats even more confusing is under doctor is still bottom 3, we haven't really seen a survey boost yet.
for me 3 new series it's too much. I mean apart from Alien headbutt... What else? No else series is ending. It's totally unexpected... LOL

Sorachi can just go. He already got his success
If 2-B fails, it fails. But I think it's kinda stupid to just axe a veteran just because "he already got his success"

They've run 21 series for periods before, usually it happens when a series ends on its own between batches a few issues later. We know long running authors estimate the ending in advance, so it could be that they plan a batch for the estimated end point but the author ends up needing a little longer to wrap up (I remember Gintama got kicked out because Sorachi did it repeatedly). Hence they just run an extra series for a while instead of rushing it. Could also just be to make up for only running 18 for a while however, you never know.

Haruhara Robinson and Tsuitsui is an interesting combo, but a possible new racing series in Jump (and by the Greens creator) is definitely the standout.

Kinato not ending isn't too surprising since it hasn't felt like it was ending. I wonder if we'll see it rise at all, even if it's just above something from the last batch dropping to the bottom.

Roku's kind of been overshadowed here by the new series but 6th is a pretty good first placement, I hope the series can keep it up because it's definitely my favourite of the last round and there's a bunch of interesting future stuff the story has set up.

Inui Akira final message for the final chaper of Alien Headbutt in the Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #27 of 2026:

"Thank you to everyone who read this all the way through. And I’m sorry."

I'd made my peace with it ending but AH somehow being U19'd is... uhm. I wish Inui all the best (and more), and I'll absolutely be waiting for their next work.

Animal Signal by Tsutsui Taishi & Haruhara Robinson

Hal Formula by Kento Terasaka

Canon Master by Reiya Machida
Am genuinely shocked we are getting more veterans in the new batch, but still Terasaka genuinely deserves to come back so am happy for him. Surprised we got a jump plus author making their debut with Taishi doing the art(Random combination but an interesting one).

Also, quite content Reiya Machida is finally debuting, he has talent and some very interesting stories within his one shots. So curious to see what his debut series will be about.

After a 3 week break I'm completely back. Surely nothing special happened right... TERASAKA??! LET'S GO!!

More seriously, it will be an interesting new batch I think.
Robinson X 22i is definitely a weird pair but in a good way. Let's see how it goes.
About Terasaka, I'm super happy to see him again! And apparently with a Formula/Racing manga, that's really good. Very nice timing with Forza Horizon 6 releasing not long ago lol
And for Reiya Machida, I don't know what they did before, but everyone seems hyped. So, why not!

RIP Alien. Hope Inui will come back.

And now we (will) have 21 series. Maybe Hima-Ten will end between batches? It has 6 chapters left in its current volume. Or maybe we will just run with 21 series until next batch.

Oh, and an UD color page, that's really cool!

Anyway, interesting news today. I'm hyped!

I won't complain about UD getting CP. I love his art.
So give it one or 2 more before it dies next round
--- Double Post Merged, ---

Joking aside, the 3 ending this round is probably.

Alien Headbutt
Himaten
Blue box

The sunk cost fallacy surrounding kiyoshi is insane, jump. There is no future where this becomes a big hit even with the best anime production the industry can offer. There's better chance serialising his next manga.

Preview for the 3 new series!

#28: Animal Signal by Haruhara Robinson (Torture Princess) & Taishi Tsutsui (We Never Learn)

"A cute girl & animal comedy featuring the cover and 54 pages lead color spread!! Is Kokone, the investigator with animal-like abilities, working at a zoo?"

"It seems they belong to an organization called the Anima Countermeasures Center. Details are still unclear, but apparently they possess incredible abilities!"

"To coincide with the start of the series, we’ve also included a column that introduces biological facts in a fun way! There’s even a quiz previewing the next episode, so you can enjoy "Animal Signal" even more!"





#29: Hal Formula by Terasaka Kento (Green Green Greens)



#30: Canon Master by Machida Reiya (VROOM!!!)
Well, I think we all know which of these three is getting axed for sure. I'm glad Teraken is sticking to his guns till the bitter end at least.

Akane-banashi 3rd, love that. Roku's House of Oddities starting at 6th, mildly positive for now. Under Doctor in the bottom but getting a colour page, fine. Alien Headbutt ending, deserved.

Animal Signal (Tsutsui Taishi & Haruhara Robinson) - Interesting combo of two unlikely veterans, but hopefully Haruhara provides the diversity in his writing vs what Tsutsui likes to fall back on and I think hurt him last time with Syd Craft; it's a given with romcoms that there's a routine and an inherent charm in that with what the audience expects, but for his third serialisation in the genre hopefully this one feels at least a bit different than before. I honestly didn't have him pegged as returning so soon, but after Naoshi Komi's pretty lame one-shot earlier this year maybe him being the romcom guy to come back isn't a bad thing.

Hal Formula (Kento Terasaka) - I don't care about racing or Formula 1, but liking the sport has almost nothing to do with liking the sports manga. Give me that same character drama from GGG and I'm so absolutely in. Shall be one of the many rooting for his success.

Canon Master (Reiya Machida) - Another one of my predictions for new authors this year. Have been keen to see him get a serialisation for a while. VROOM!!! has a more amateurish/messiness to it but you can feel the energy in it, and Memento in Kowloon showed refinement on top of that and was quite nice indeed. Hopefully this is a good ole fashion battle shonen with sick action choreography and something that makes it stick. This one actually feels like the most straight forward replacement for an Alien Headbutt demographic. Given my own expectations and hopes for this newcomer I do hope this one works out better.

Hal Formula > Canon Master >>> Animal Signal for me in terms of anticipation. 2/3 I'm rooting for.

Is Hal related to some form of vehicle?

The only Hal I know is from DC Comic's Green Lantern.
