Damn you Saito and your perversion for Exorcist manga... (but the arabian idea could taste a lil different)

Gotta prepare for that "Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi with Cover & Lead Color Pages for 2nd Anniversary" leak next week!




No color page on issue #30 (which the series started) it's pretty much the confirmation.
Me: happy (how much chance there is that Mappa/Trigger Studio announcement are related to it?)
Based that in two weeks UEK has anniversary and 5th july (around that) it hit 100 chapters

Preview text for Canon Master by Reiya Machida starting in the Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #30:

"The third installment of a three-part new series! A action fantasy tale of a master & disciple set in a world of wind & sand, featuring 54 pages with cover & lead color spread! What troubles Barato, the highly skilled statue slayer who challenges demonic statues in a world of wind & sand!?"

This sounds weird, just up my alley.

Legit, we were way too hard on Nakano. Looking back, he honestly had a really fantastic run as EiC.

How did Hero Destroyerz get the worst first ranking of the batch lol. And still no color pages for the batch.
Were you not around to see the reception for the first few chapters? Because it was really bad, to put it mildly. I'd be more shocked if it had a good placement.

This sounds cool af. Already getting Magi vibes. But knowing Saito this will hit bottom 3 by chapter 11 together with Hal Formula and Animal Signal until its getting axed.

Dear Nakano,
I am sorry for everything I ever said about you on twitter. I apologize.

WOW. Welcome back Terasaka. The cover was also great. I'm super hyped.
And definitely welcome back Tsutsui with this kind of color page lol

Blue Box feels like a last CP, kinda weird.

And yeah, Nue/Shinobi CP were kinda expected. Weird first rank for Class 2-B tho. And yeah BB color is super low. Roku might grow again, like UD. And wtf DttF? And Ichi the Third? Kind of a weird ToC.

I didn't know straight away either because she's barely appeared so far, but the water lady is apparently the older looking witch with scars on her face lol. I saw on some discussions that she's been seen (once) with that umbrella + she appears to be the younger witch in the Fujimine flashback when she takes the Toxic Majik.

Which means Fujimine is old as hell too, which makes sense since it was said the Magikeepers have been going after her "for generations". She probably uses something with her Toxic abilities to stay young/young looking etc. either that or the water witch is aged up due to toxins, but that seems less likely.
The Villainous Witch? (what did she do to earn that name, I wonder)
List of Characters | Ichi the Witch Wiki | Fandom

I guess it's possible, though the scars on her face don't match the young woman who survived Fujimine's attack.

Normally I'd associate it with Moneygold since her hat is liquid, but last time we saw her she was still firmly under the spell (or so it seemed). Could've shaken it off though, or the magik could be acting on its own.

Are you even sure that "flashback" of Toxiterror being friends with everyone is a reality to begin with? Last chapter we have been shown that Fujimine/Toxiterror's power is to show a memory that does not exist. To make the victims think that Toxiterror/Fujimine is someone important to the victim. I won't be surprised if the witches' memories of Toxiterror being friends with the witches are not even real btw
That's an interesting theory.

Good TOC for my taste. But not great, because of WW's placement (KGB's too but given Hokazono's schedule that's expected).

Hal's Formula color page is amazing. However, I am a bit unsure about a manga about racing, in particular if it is F1, because it's mainly a constructor competition (see the fact that Verstappen is an afterthought this year because his car sucks). If it is another competition, real or completely made up, it has better chances of success.

I'm disappointed that the villain of Egghead is just
a rematch against Lucci. TBH, Lucci wasn't all that interesting of a villain compared to Crocodile or Doflamingo.

This is the TOC before the June volume started selling so I think we’ll see UD rise next week or at least a color page. The treatment of UD and to a lesser extent Kinato reminds me of how Nakano was treating Kagurabachi. Wonder if this is a new thing or if it’s just that they’re no one’s top 5 series on the surveys but still a series JP readers like and are loyal to.

Saito should revolutionize the surveys and add like a questionnaire that asks if readers what series readers would still support that they didn’t list in the top 5 or something like that.

So how y'all think things will go from here with Under Doctor outselling Shinobi, Kinato selling between 5k ~ 10k, Drawn to the Fire & Roku's House ranking decently well + Class 2-B having very likely immunity for at least a round, Blue Box & Hima-Ten almost sure ending in few chapters, Hunter x Hunter returning and the current round which Animal Signal is getting good reception so far and the other 2 new series being interesting? Yeah, tons of stuff :grin

Obs: And please no "This series will get axed because i don't like it so i think it should get axed", let's try being realistic 👍

Modulo left a spot open that was for the one shot rounds. Alien headbutt ended giving an extra spot. Jump sometimes carries 21 hence the third spot

Blue Box, Himaten, Kinato's Magic, Drawn to the Fire and Kiyoshi all might end on the next round.
