#4. Don't bring politics or off-topic stuff to the thread, this is about Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and mangas, so keep any conversation about topics that aren't related about anime & manga outside the thread.
#5. Don't post news about series from other magazine or publishers in the WSJ thread, post in the series own thread, but it's fine if you're mentioning other series or magazine to express a opinion or reflection about Shonen Jump.

#8. Constant fanart posts just for the sake of praising a favorite series is prohibited, this rule doesn't apply for official art by Jump artists posted on social media, they're fine to post.
#9. Don't discuss or hype chapter spoilers before Sunday release, only comment if is related to a series surviving status and do it only inside the spoiler tag.
#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.

I hope everyone reads the rules and use it as a guide to behave well in the thread, thanks! :kkthumbs

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
I think for the same reason it usually has been. It's always only temporarily in the magazine and they'd rather promote newer series since the audience for HxH doesn't care where in the ToC it is.

HxH in general is a very unique situation. It pops out every other year for 10 chapters, new volume sells 500k copies, and then goes back to hiatus again.

Something interesting to notice is how Under Doctor is still there with all the axebait, so they clearly noticed something wrong with the volume 1 sales. lol I don't think it'll be axed before the other stuff there, but I don't think it's safe long term if volume 2 sales really collapse.

lol i just noticed this now, Hunter x Hunter isn't included in the cover! And its always included when is being serialized :errr
This is why I'll never trust the 20 chapters copium...

I'm so happy for Roku. My favourite new series for a while!

Hal Formula and Cannon Master's rankings are pretty rough. Wouldn't say they're DOA since they have some series propping them up from below, butttttt.......Hal Formula I like and would like to see stay around, but I'd sacrifice it for Cannon Master which simply NEEDS to survive imo, I've really enjoyed it so far. Animal Signal is doing surprisingly better than I thought it would, thought it would be in that bottom 1/3rd of the mag lol.

Also I forgot to say this seems like the most full the mag has been for a while, no? So that's nice.

Also also, looking forward to Hori's one shot. Everyone and their mothers and even he himself said he should do a horror series after MHA. Though tbh, the colour page doesn't look very horror-y lol.

(Also not to be a bother, it's not too big a deal and you guys can keep using it if you want, but having to fire up my VPN to see images all the time because Imgur is blocked in the UK is a bit annoying lol)

What's complicated about the next few batches is how this one is likely to be Kinato alone getting the axe and the only guaranteed axe for the next round is Drawn. We also have Sakamoto Days ending in a few chapters, Witch Watch has a smaller chance of ending soon and Hunter x Hunter is turning into Hiatus x Hiatus again, so some series doing bad in the rankings can end up saved for some time.

Seems like the whole new batch is doing bad, so Animal Signal, Hal Formula and Cannon Master may trade places in the bottom. Hero Destroyerz has awful ranks and got placed in the back of the cover, but I *think* Sorachi's name should be enough for volume 1 to not crash completely and give it some time. And there's Under Doctor that is also in the axebait tier and I'm not sure if it can be"punished" more if Vol 2 sales decline 50%.

Really hard to guess and if they want to clean up, they'll have to keep doing batches of 3 or more.

(Also not to be a bother, it's not too big a deal and you guys can keep using it if you want, but having to fire up my VPN to see images all the time because Imgur is blocked in the UK is a bit annoying lol)
What do you recommend for alternatives? I checked them before because of the imgur UK situation, but didn't really find decent places that didn't require an account.

Kohei Horikoshi author profile for his new one shot mentions Akira, Historie & Berserk as his favorite manga series!

A message by him: "I'm so glad I was able to focus and stick to Jump! I tried out a bunch of different things I wanted to experiment with! I hope you enjoy it!"

It's great that he's experimenting with new genres instead of greenlighting My Hero Academia: The Next Generations where they fight aliens or something.

They can probably axe both Kinato and DTTF in the same round tbh, and then Saka Days ends in that round as well. 3 out, 3 new batch in. HxH I don't think? takes up a place. So it can just go back on hiatus, or you could just have Bleach replace it in that "not a spot but technically a spot" place, so it's technically 4 in, 4 out. Witch Watch has a bit of a while to go, I'd say.

2-B I agree will survive at least 1 volume. Whenever an established author comes in and has a meh new series, most of the time they live for probably longer than they should on name alone (Samurai 8, RobotxLaserbeam, Astro Royale to name a few).

But yeah, it's kinda hard to see how they're gonna free up some space right now specifically. Although, I think a new batch is round the corner anyway, they usually have them around #40? Ish?

(As for the alts for Imgur, I'll be honest I have no solution, which is my bad....but I remember we stopped using Imgur here for a while a few weeks ago because of this issue, not sure what site we were using, and then we switched back to Imgur at some point. Like I said, It's not too big a deal, it takes literally 2 secs to fire up a VPN but yeah, thought i'd bring it to attention anyway just in case someone has a solution or there are other Brits on here wondering about it lol)

SD, DttF, and Kinato will definitely be the next series out. There will also be an open spot for when HxH leaves so probably 4 new series

After that, 2B, HAL, cannon master, and maybe animal signal are next on the chopping block. Depending on how WW proceeds, it could save one of them, but I think Shinohara will take his time with the epilogue (hell I don’t even think Shikimi is the final fight; the resurrection will almost certainly happen because it always does) and the series ends closer to the beginning of 2027.

UD will be a title to watch as I could see it getting phantom seer’d

I'm gonna cope that 2B is rising, and not that other series are sinking :(
i think 2B will stick to the bottom, not cause its not successful, but because sorachi turns in his manuscripts late

Man, this is why leak is harmful. Now everybody seems to be wishing for Sakamoto to end asap for Bleach to take over. Very disrespectful. (Talking about the situation in general, not about this forum)

The put Hori's oneshot very high in the mag. Lol

It probably will be, they translate all the stuff from the big series or authors, pretty sure Hori's one shot will also be translated.

Ahhh that explains it, no worries. Hopefully it returns soon then, thanks!
