#10. Regarding rule #9, an exception will be made for when we have new series, in this case, spoilers will be allowed only for the first 3 chapters of a new series for the users who are interested in knowing informations and details about the new series, these spoilers will obviously be kept under tags to protect anyone that doesn't want to be spoiled, so don't worry about it.

Cmon, you cannot be complaining about this when it took Sakamoto Days 168 chapters. Or akane 170! Nue is not going to get special treatment compared to those two series lol.
He is talking about them too. They are taking too much time to announce anime for series.

It's not about Nue itself, it's about the long waits for everything. It's a massive failure that these happened as well, no one is getting Special Treatment, they're all being treated like shit. A major issue for the lack of boosts these get is how long they even take to release. It's insane they have works that are clearly selling above the industry average and have companies interested into investing in them and they still take FOUR YEARS to release an anime, 3 years+ to even announce it. Jump's management is trash.

And no, before someone comes with "but covid". Other magazines get anime earlier just fine and Sakamoto Days took forever and still looked like crap.

Ah yeah then I agree on that front, but I can't imagine its editorial alone that is slowing down the anime announcements.

Wow thats a really fun cover. Looks like the distinct groups are OP, then Ichi/Sakamoto/Hertz/Akane/Bachi, and then our new mid tier is Kiyoshi/Nue/Witch/Shinobi/Roku!/Roboco, and the rest are relegated to the background, lol.
No HxH tho???

A group cover where I can't imagine anyone really complaining about the tiering! What a concept!

Well thats nice to see at least, none of the new series are out for the count yet. I was expecting animal signal to drop even more.

Hal Formula and Cannon Master might be dead, though.

Random One Piece cover is an odd choice, but I'm also surprised to see an Ichi color page, I guess the anniversary cover will be slightly late this year unless this is the first of two consecutive colors?

No consecutive color pages for Ichi the Witch, so i guess not a anniversary cover on #40 either, that increases the chances of Nue's Exorcist cover!

Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #37-38 Cover: Main Characters!
Ok so pretty much:

-1st Tier: One Piece big in the middle with Sakamoto Days, Akane-banashi, Kagurabachi, Ichi the Witch & Someone Hertz around it
-2nd Tier: Me & Roboco, Witch Watch, Nue's Exorcist, Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi, Shinobi Undercover & Roku's House of Oddities
-3rd Tier: Under Doctor, Kinato's Magic, Drawn to the Fire, Class 2B, Animal Signal, Hal Formula & Cannon Master

Pretty much expected excluding Akane inclusion in the 1st and everything else just mixed together in the 2nd instead of a 3rd tier with lesser popular series like Roboco, Kiyoshi, Roku & Under Doctor.

There's a big bleach 25th anniversary page in this issue and yet no return info. I kinda feel like we may have been misled, lol.

i do wonder why they keep placing HxH always at the bottom. They always did this, but since Togashi was pretty ill back i the day i think he was delivering really late, but this time he has all chapters already done

It is probably because of axing possibility.

Because it doesn't matter. It's never actually going to get axed due to "bad survey votes" (even though it still probably does get good survey results) or bad TOC rankings, it's always going to leave eventually for who knows how long at a time, and nothing they do is realistically going to dramatically increase its popularity in the magazine (aside from a new anime, but that's probably not likely any time soon). Might as well promote other things that need it more.

Also gives an excuse for people who don't normally read the magazine a chance to accidentally stumble into something in the back and maybe start following those series while HxH is on hiatus.
