I never thought Roku was safe at all. It's probably fine for a few rounds with all series ending and bigger flops around, but I can see sales being Syd Craft level and that clearly wasn't enough for Kinato.

Just hard to make long time predictions with the current series. If Under Doctor volume 2 sales are much lower than the first one, will it be pushed to the bottom again or will they give it more time? No idea.

According to this, RuriDragon is now labeled as a past work, which may mean that it will be axed in a couple of weeks.
Unlikely, in my opinion. Whether to classify Ruridragon as WSJ or something else auxiliary has always been a confusing topic, so them saying it’s a “past work” to me probably just means they are indicating it used to be in the physical magazine and is now not. If they wanted to can Ruri they would at least not have anything officially say it’s over until after it ended, or we would have a more overt announcement like “this is ending!”

Not to mention this would be a wild place to end the story, so unless Shindo either got screwed over or broke physically, I don’t see there being any reason to think this site update indicates the end of Ruri.

The Roboco Kimi ni Todoke cover is absolutely killing me hahaha. Does anyone know what the double spread is referencing, if anything? It’s giving me Undead Unluck vibes for some reason.

The bleach fanbase are extremely insufferable as hell with the way they snark and snide about Sakadays ending. Fucking assholes
I find this to be absolutely ridiculous. The Bleach fanbase was very vocal about their disdain for the way Kubo ended Bleach. It was being received so poorly they gave the man 5 weeks to finish a 15-year series (talk about what have you done for me lately). Now all of a sudden, the same fans that were bashing it during the final days are acting like they've always been onboard.

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.
If it was sitting at the very bottom, I would be more concerned. Seeing that DttF, Kinato's Magic, and Sakamoto all look like they could be ending soon, I would be willing to (place a small) wager that it is safe for at least 1 more round if not more.
Confused. We had drawn to the fire color page just last week.
It did not deserve that color page it got anyway. It is ranked right where it belongs. One of the less confusing placements in this week's TOC. The 7th and 9th place rankings are outliers, they are the exception not the rule. As soon as this last batch begins ranking, I would expect it to stay right there at the bottom until it is axed.

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.
This. It seems the one-shot has a normal-built MC, let's hope it keeps like this IF it's serialized.

They probably aren't the same fans. It's pretty common for fanbases to be divided. If 50% were bashing it and 50% liked it but weren't very vocal about it, that leaves plenty of fandom who have been waiting for a new series all this time.

Also, Kubo himself said that part of the reason the series was wrapped up so quickly was because his health was failing (torn shoulder, if I remember correctly. Had been getting worse for a long time).
