Someone Hertz Volume 4 (LQ)

 

[Franz]

Sakamoto could last until the summer double issue.

I think they won't give up on putting him on the group cover.

 

[monstera11]

The bleach fanbase are extremely insufferable as hell with the way they snark and snide about Sakadays ending. Fucking assholes

 

[Lord Anubis]

Thought the Kawaguchi one-shot was gonna be a Mecha story based on the name

 

[tirakai]

Kagurabachi returning earlier than expected is nice, I suppose it's replacing Blue Box rather than them leaving a gap.

I really wonder what the reason is for the 3rd last colour pages. Even if it was an early decision based on the first few chapters before their ToC positions collapsed, surely you'd still makes some effort to promote them in case they can revitalise the series. Or maybe Saito just doesn't like them.

I am very surprised to see Under Doctor jump up to the top 5, perhaps it'll live after all. I don't remember which chapter this was for it to be boosted like this.

Nue getting back up to #4 is cool too, it's been low for a while but it's always had these random high jumps throughout the whole run so far.

 

[cameronney618]

I pray that by the time kawaguchi gets another serialisation, he drops the muscular girl/guy and shota/loli combo. It's not working bro.

Just stick with a solo FeMC.
I want him to draw some red sonja, Xena amazonian shit like ive seen on his twitter. (I know it's a magic thing)

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Btw, not only Nue in 4th place but above Shinobi and only Nue getting a cp too? Did someone kidnapped Saito or something?

 

[kiyoshibro]

Finally i'm back! (this random deactivation)

UNDER DOCTOR IS 5TH!
KIYOSHI COLOR
AND KAWAGUCHI IS BACK!

SAITOOOO, THANK YOU! (now axe Kinato and we are friends forever)

 

[nemu asahi]

That ID collection will cause so much PDPA issue

Oh yeah! But people put all their info on the internet by themselves anyway... And they can buy the digital Jump by already giving their name, address and others (credit card info too). People already have their data collected, it's the way of doing it and how it is handled that is important.

For example, I made a contest for marketing so I gathered such data (not credit card lol) from perfect strangers (Japanese). I don't give these data to other people, nor do I use them for any purpose other than the participants getting their prizes by mail. Don't give them to feed AI, will erase them once I know these people have received their prizes. I got the consent of these people to handle their data. It's ok if there are rules (and they are respected of course).

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Besides @kiyoshibro i also just found out @Dogmagril account also got caught up in the system and has been blocked for a while but he has checked the Forum since tuesday, his account is now fixed too, i hope you come back to post

So if anyone ever gets this kind of problem, just search me on Twitter, or create a double account and send me a PM so i can fix the problem, i noticed that posting Tweet links has been the main cause for this happening with the accounts in question but seems to be a rare thing to happen!

 

[tirakai]

Btw, not only Nue in 4th place but above Shinobi and only Nue getting a cp too? Did someone kidnapped Saito or something?

That is a good point, when even was the last time Nue was allowed to be above Shinobigoto except for the annversary cover? I feel like it's been a full year at least.

Even the colour pages always seem to be put below Shinobigoto.

 

[Pietro]

Is it Sakamotover already?
glad for Nue and UD. Hopefully an anime soon

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Yeah unfortunately the leaks about Bleach returning came with also Sakamoto Days ending and the wording of it "opened" the door to a false narrative that Bleach returning has anything to do with Sakamoto ending so the trolls/haters are taking advantage of it, is something that i thought it shouldn't have been included...

I really wonder what the reason is for the 3rd last colour pages. Even if it was an early decision based on the first few chapters before their ToC positions collapsed, surely you'd still makes some effort to promote them in case they can revitalise the series. Or maybe Saito just doesn't like them.

Nue getting back up to #4 is cool too, it's been low for a while but it's always had these random high jumps throughout the whole run so far.

Feels like they're simply not popular, DttF is quite obvious but yeah, it's shocking to see Class 2B cp in the bottom 3, it's insane Saito is pulling this with someone like Sorachi but there's no way the series isn't struggling if a cp is placed that low, the color pages for the 3 may be a batch promotional thing but they made very obvious that Roku is the one getting better treatment.

Nue is around chapter 146 ~ 148 which would totally make sense since 148 was that mind blowing chapter with Gakuro losing his powers, i should realistically haven gotten a Top 1 lmao!

Under Doctor would be around ch 17 ~ 19, 17 was the singer with a tumor, that chapter was pretty good and praised, 18 wasn't as much but ch19 had a color page and the "Samurai Cameroon" that became kind of a meme in Forums

That is a good point, when even was the last time Nue was allowed to be above Shinobigoto except for the annversary cover? I feel like it's been a full year at least.

Even the colour pages always seem to be put below Shinobigoto.

Actually is not far away at all, it was also higher than Shinobi on issue #28 when it was 5th place.

 

[Nuesmoker]

Bottom 4 no color page- WAIT

We UP

Am I the only one a little concerned with Roku? It’s pretty low, and I’m not too high on it being a hit with the readers. If it was, it’d have consistently placed 6-7th place. Not 9-10th.

 

[tirakai]

It is definitely a weak placement considering HxH isn't ranked, but they did still decide to put it above HxH and 2B's colour page so at least in Jump's eyes this is fine. Two of the series that would possibly be below it have colour pages (Roboco and Class 2B) and Nue has a sudden jump which pushes Roku lower than it maybe should be.

Personally, I think all three of the latest batch will drop to the bottom soon after being ranked so that'll push it back up even if it drops low again.

Of course, it's also primarily a gag series, and even the most successful ones tend to be very up and down due to the nature of episodic comedy.

Am I the only one a little concerned with Roku? It’s pretty low, and I’m not too high on it being a hit with the readers. If it was, it’d have consistently placed 6-7th place. Not 9-10th.

Like 95% of the new successful series goes into the bottom at least once in their first year, even Ichi dropped to bottom 4 once at the beginning and it took 15 chapters for Roku to step in the bottom for the first time, there's really nothing to worry right now, it's also a comedy series, is just natural that some chapters will not hit as much as others.

Being a hit is one thing, but its pretty clear Roku is getting at the very least a decent reception.
