Its absolutely time to cancel Ruri Dragon. Cancel the anime too. And all the merchandise. The most recent chapter having less views is an unrecoverable situation. They should replace Ruri with Otr 2: Electric Boogaloo.
Otr 2? where?! who?! when!!! (give it to me, NOW!)

Ruri anime will be huge and help it reach the yearly top 10. It just falls in the awful category that D.Gray-man and World trigger are in of not being able to enjoy it consistently weekly in Jump (which is still better than the act-age category which hopefully it will forever stay in by itself; there is nothing worse than a series without an ending by its original mangaka).
I think it will be within top 2 best selling series of the year.

Huh, is it me but has this year's issues but more emphasis on veterans than on newcomers when it comes to new series debuts? Like we only had three new series made by actual newcomers in the magazine while the rest were done by people who already launched and had either a successful series or a failed one. I do wonder if the trend continues in the next new batch or not. Cause I think its kinda important to have fresh blood to being new life to the magazine with never done before stories.

Just me rambling honestly, but it is kinda curious is all.

Ruridragon chapter 46 has a big dropoff of views compared to 45 because people have had an extra 3 months to read chapter 45. Not everyone is keeping a close eye on the series weekly, especially in the midst of a big delay- some people probably fully forgot to check on it and will get back around to it in the coming months.

Manga of the week:

1) Kiyoshi
2) drawn by fire
3) kagurabachi
4) roku
5) under doctor


It was a very full week...
Hal formula is VERY GOOD. But it's just my personal taste i find Formula 1 a very niche genre and a bit boring... but anyway i hope it succeeds

P.s: Under doctor chapter was so wholesome and the last page!
Kiyoshi i wonder the story where will go at this point. And Shinobigoto... seems to be accelerating a bit. But damn.. author should give it a time break it's like they are fighting since 50+ chapters...

Drawn by fire is sooo interesting and the manga of Sorachi it's boring ash

Hey, is it okay for me to share seiyuu predictions for upcoming Jump anime on here, especially since Kagurabachi got announced to have an anime?
Or is that a no go on here?

It was on a extended hiatus, people probably are just waiting for more content. It'd suck to come back after months only to read two chapters then have to wait several more months.
Ruridragon chapter 46 has a big dropoff of views compared to 45 because people have had an extra 3 months to read chapter 45. Not everyone is keeping a close eye on the series weekly, especially in the midst of a big delay- some people probably fully forgot to check on it and will get back around to it in the coming months.
3 months/chapter? Seriously??? It's selling a lot even now, so it would be nonsense to cut it (for now), but they should get him an artist who can imitate his style to pair him up with. (they probably won't do it for problem of rights+royalties but...) He would give instructions and just write the dialogues to alleviate the workload. Just doing the nemu would take off a part of the workload.

From a business POV, it's really a lost opportunity, but author's health is more important than publisher's money. Or even readers' pleasure.

I don't know if drawing is a pain for him (physical problem/disease) or if it's therapeutic (if he has mental health problems, then doing the thing he likes the most is a good thing. IF he's happy with the story he has to write of course...)

Like people talk about Togashi handling his work to somebody else?

I finished JJK today and the final arc was kinda boring
It's weird since I really liked the Culling Games but everything after chapter 236 was bloated with words and explanations and it all just felt dull, though I can forgive that knowing Gege wasn't in that great of health at the time and probably didn't want to draw more than he had to
I really liked the Takaba fight though, Gege should try his hand at gag manga sometime

To be honest, I have a feeling that a lot of the main cast might be relatively newer VAs, given that Chihiro’s is very early in his career (at least going off of his official roles on Wikipedia).

I doubt season 1 will go as far as Iori's introduction

Kinato is still doing relatively decent too???

Also Ace of Diamond is finally getting an English physical release! With Keiji, city hunter, and cats eye all being physically released, what do you guys think will be the next WSJ series to get an English physical release? I could definitely see Viz letting a company do Captain Tsubasa (although I’d love for basically any other Jump series lol). Now that’s a series I don’t get why the author just doesn’t let someone do the inking and final work on…
