Kagurabachi which was scheduled for this week Shonen Jump issue #28 will take a sudden break, it will return on issue #29!

They should have him on Oda's schedule already and run 21 series all the time. I don't get why they're so stubborn with that slot when all other magazines run more manga than Jump.

Kekek, so no color page for Kinato despite being in the exact same situation as Under Doctor. I won't really say one is better than the other, but it's clear that both are pretty much in the dirt right now. Despite that, only one got the "I didn't get axed this round" color page.

Roku's House of Oddities ranking 3rd right outta the gate is a pretty big deal though.

Still not sure about Roku's survival chances, but considering so many series ending and other axes coming, maybe it's a good thing to try to still promote it. Kinato last place and no color next week, hard to not see it ending next batch. It and Under Doctor also have poor Amazon rankings, maybe it can improve later, but I'm not expecting much.

Under Doctor was always obviously their bet when it was the only one to get a color page and for some reason they gave it a Twitter account. lol No idea where they got this trust from, but I think both are likely to end together anyway.

Kind of surprised they didn’t just cancel Kinato with AH since they clearly have no faith in it.

Yup, what a waste of Color Pages. They could've just gone with the 121st Shinobi Undercover Color Page instead of spending time on Under Doctor. Got records to break here, buddy.

They probably scheduled months ago that they would need to only cancel a single series for that batch, so Kinato was never at risk when it debuted alongside a massive flop like Alien Headbutt. Something similar happened with Doron Dororon when it was spared when they axed Ayashimon.

So there lies a possibility that this entire batch were keepers. Lack of color page may be due to debuting works. They might just spam all three with CP after all the debuts are done.

Loving the Roku ranks but where is the color page lol. Happy with the Fire one too, this batch is giving me too much hope. I’m also surprised Hero Destroyerz isn’t getting a chapter 8 color page given the hype for Sorachi going in.

Eh, the viewership for the first 2 are all pretty low, and we've seen the case of series debuting high to just quickly sink to the bottom before. And then as much as I like 2B, it also lacks a color page + I know a lot of the JP fanbase disliked it. Might end up being another Samurai 8/Astro :(

Okay, there are antropormophic animals in Animal Signal, the lead color page has a pretty cute bunny girl and a tanuki girl, and the first color page reminded me of the introduction of My Hero Academia where you have a world with humans living with antropormophic animals in the society

lol is literally MHA, first color page is showing a human family with a baby having a elephant nose :grin

Kinda iffy on Roku’s chances too, but the next two chapters that will be ranked could very well be make or break for the series.

I'd love if the entirety of the last batch hit. I haven't even read any of them yet but I've been waiting for a batch that has more than one hit. And frankly, I want more hits just to put more pressure on the lower sellers in the magazine. Sometimes writers put out their best work when they have a knife to the back of their neck
