#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.
#6. Any tweet, specially japanese, about news, update or some interesting thing about the magazine or series has to come with a text of what that tweet means and also be on topic, if not it's going to be either deleted or i will edit the 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.

Wow what a mess of a ToC. Is under doctor in danger now with the placements and regression in sales? Outside of a few color pages it hasn’t had the strongest ToC. I’m wondering the wording for the color pages for Animal Signal; is it a pity color page for the whole batch/for the successful veterans or legitimate popularity? I imagine the whole batch will get one unless it’s performing terribly.

Presuming DttF ends next issue. We’ll have a spot for HxH leaving and likely for 2B (sadly), cannon master (I think the series is fine but I think the authors next series will be major), and potentially HAL or Animal signal

Under Doctor is most likely gone.

It's amazing how dedicated they are to sabotaging their own series. Nue still getting an useless color page instead of the anime is embarrassing. Everyone at their media team should be fired already since the horrible work they did with Sakamoto Days and Akane, but they won't miss their chance to also screw over Nue.

New batch has great names at least, I'm interested in all of them.

Why are they giving Kiyoshi the bottom 3 color page :(. They did this to DTTF and 2-B, is kiyoshi going to go back to being a bottom dweller??
C'mon, look at the TOC. Everything new is basically already at the bottom, Kiyoshi will keep outselling and out ranking all the new series, it's completely safe. Drawn and Under Doctor will be the new bottom 2.

It was always at risk. Only thing it had for it were fake sales.

They did Akane and Sakamoto bad. I think that is why they had Ruri go with KyoAni. They tried to make something useful.

Tbh I missed the 4koma banksy and kinato being at the bottom, so its not as bad as I was thinking. But otherwise, I think DTTF ends here, and UD becomes the new bottom series, trading places with Cannon master + 2B. (If I had to guess).

DTTF isn't ending. HxH's batch will be over and that opens space enough for two new series.

It'll take Kinato's role as last place every week.

HxH has two chapters left, meaning it would end in issue 41. But the new series starts that very same issue. But maybe you're right, and this is just weird timing.

"Behind The Scenes Report" with Shun Numa (Super Psychic Policeman Chojo) writing & Yuushin Kuroki (Teenage Renaissance! David) drawing will start in the Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #40! The series is described as a coming-of-age romcom!

The Dangers in my Heart but the girl is a gyaru, the male mc is identical to Kyotaro, even the angry/gloomy face expression! :XD

Art looks great!

I'm just happy Animal Signal's got some modicum of support if it got a color page. Just need to see if Hal Formula and Cannon Master get it too so we could confirm whether this is obligatory or what.

Worth mentioning that it's probably based on the oneshot he released last year when Chojo's anime was announced, though i'm surprised he went with a different artist for serialization since he illustrated the oneshot himself

I remember that one-shot, but I kind of remember not liking it. I need to read it again to see if that is the case. If I remember correctly the girl was a demon? Maybe the reason for Numa to not do the art is because of personal because he is married now. You never know if he is starting a family and he needs to lessen the load so the real responsibilities are in place (yes, I mean having a child). But with Kuroki as the artist, I see no problem as the art can be detailed and attractive. Nothing against Numa’s art as I like it too but am looking at why this paring than Numa doing it himself.

also grey keys is getting serialized??? i felt like that was a decent one shot but it'll be tough to expand on it and i worry it'll get generic for doing so

They can just do a bunch of arcs with the premise of him going after rare books and items and finding himself in weird situations and adventures, like Fairy Tail.

I wouldn’t say it would be generic, but I think it’s a difficult task if they don’t do the languages correctly since this is the type of concept that requires a lot of research and planning when creating new languages and the races that go with them. Hopefully they have a good expert and spent some time with the lexicon.
