Ok maybe Under Doctor is a bad example, but there's been a few last ranking series (I guess Aliens Area is a good example?), that randomly get a color page but then sank back into the bottom to die soon after.
Aliens Area is a pretty bizarre case, it got on chapter 7 and it never ranked well while Roku has yet to even step once in the bottom 5, relax, the manga isn't in any danger so far.

He might actually go for another arc if Sakamoto Days ends this round.
Kinda hoping it can Yozafam its way to a year but I doubt it. Probably already got cancelled or surely it would have gotten a color page or one decent rank by now…

Roku got enough fan votes to be nominated for tsugimanga 2026 when it only had 3 - 4 chapters. No one should worry.

Also, i've pretty much fallen out of love with every WSJ manga minus kgb and ruri. These few weeks of jump with none of them in the lineup is a torture

I would be in the Jump plus thread more often if it had more activities. :(

Blue Box is very likely ending next week, color page is for it's climax!

Oh I thought it already climaxed last chapter :teehee



Also DttF getting a colour page but not Kinato is so fucking funny. I lowkey want Kinato to survive for years but just never EVER get a colour page and always be at the bottom, the ultimate survivor.

If Blue Box is ending next week, it not getting a final cover is ludicrous.
Tbf I don't think many series get actual Cover Pages when they end. I think it's only 2 or 3 in the history of WSJ. I think I can only remember Slam Dunk and maybe Kochikame? Not even friggin Dragon Ball got one lol, or Naruto or Bleach or any big series you can think of. I'd like to think One Piece would get one, but who knows.

People keep begging, when even JJK and MHA both got a cover for their penultimate, but not final chapters. If those 2 didn't get it, then no series debuting after them are.

Doubt Drawn to the Fire's color page means anything. It's ranking bad, no one ever praises it anywhere and it's probably just all newbies of the round getting one.

Maybe scalpers will mass buy it and give it some fake life if they give it a Furudate obi or something, apparently everyone deserves recommendations like that besides Nue.

Yamazaki Ginjiro as well. But it's only 3 series yeah. Blue Box deserved a cover this week or previous one though.

I meant the cover for the penultimate chapter that lots of hit series have gotten.

I guess Hunter x Hunter will never go in hiatus anymore! :XD

I don't think the Drawn to tge Fire color page is the same as Roku's. And also Under Doctor at the bottom is simply weird. Almost as if its sales mean nothing. Maybe it not being on TsugiManga has something with that.

Well, they also CLIMAXed this week lol
--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

At least Kinato will go down as having the best performance of a bottom 1 manga for years to come lol
Absolutely pissing me off it is ending just because of timing. If only it started around the tine hinaten-bluebox-Sakamoto ending, it would have had way more leniency

I just know some people will take this seriously and cancels Togashi for now having artistic integrity
--- Double Post Merged, ---

Ok ok. What IF we actually see them CLIMAX ON SCREEN for the climax chapter?

Drawn to the Fire preview text for next week color page int he Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #33 of 2026:

"Get Hooked on the Thrill of Basketball! Color Page for the start of the Spring Regional Tournament Preliminaries!!!"



--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

Preview for "Eye Boy", the one shot by Yachi Taiyo that will be published in the Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #33:

"Bek and Keigo were just lazy NEETs, but...! The everyday life you want to protect is here. A sci-fi friendship story in 47p & color page!"





Btw, this one shot, at least a former version since the mc in the preview looks different, has already been published in the Jump+ App & also translated on Manga Plus:

Under Doctor back down to the bottom again, so it seems like people don't like the battles or the drama. In that case, who on earth is buying the volumes? It can't just be scalpers with numbers like those. Old people nostalgic for Black Jack? Or, considering the one higher placed chapter is the assistant's daily life, maybe people are just simping hard for her but don't like anything else about the series?

Drawn to the Fire colour pages makes me fairly confident it'll stick around this batch. Blue Box ending + possibly Sakamoto Days ending + Kinato cancellation is already opening 3 spots.

I'm pretty sure the UD/Kinato sales were at first scalping due to the obis, and then people saw that and decided to buy the new series that was selling out. But ofc, none of this translated to actual magazine votes, because they aren't fans of the series itself, but the story around it. Lets just wait for volume 2 to see what the sales look like.

I think the Shin Megami Tensei artist tried something like that before & abandoned the idea quickly because it was a major headache for them...
So, I don't think that's a good idea Togashi...

Maybe? They didn't provide all the numbers. Maybe they used chatGTP like I did before to first calculate how many months there are before a manga gets an anime, because they wanted to be lazy and they got this number.... :derp

EDIT: it was a good question that raises concern, so I directly asked the author. Waiting for their answer....
Apparently she did all the calculations by herself. She gathered the all the lists of titles by AI though.

How long until the new batch comes out. I know that we just released Cannon Master with its second chapter and the rest of its batch mates. However with Blue Box pretty much confirmed ending in 2 chapters and Sakamoto Days not that far behind, we have to ask if it will be like 2020 and we will get a new batch not that far ahead.
