Genki Ono confirms on Hima-Ten! final volume 11 that he intended the series to last for around 10 volumes:

"Hima-Ten!" has now concluded! Thank you for reading! It lasted about two years...which is relatively short for a serialization, but I drew it with the intention of making it around 10 volumes without dragging it out. I'm really glad I was able to continue it this far!"

It's always good when an author knows when to stop and keeps dragging things out.

Damn, Kawae is wild for these extra Machida illustrations on vol 16, the first one feels like from a doujin :jir_thumb

I want this long action arc to be finished so bad and go back to some romcom & ecchi shenanigans, i miss the girls! 😭

Obs: Thanks to @Nuesmoker for the pics 🙏

A great issue as always! HxH was phenomenal, Ura Files is really promising, Roku was really fun and I already love this Kiyoshi arc. Need Under Doctor & especially Cannon Master to stay. KGB is magnificent too. And Class 2-B... LMAO
Really hyped for Greykeith though!

I don't know, this Cannon Master chapter...smells like the kind of chapter that you see when a manga is about to get axed, might be just the first big fight but it does have that smell... :grumble

I mean, as much as I like Cannon Master, I wouldn't be surprised unfortunately. Giving me Kaedegami vibes, and didn't it come out that it got the axe notice at ch 7? It's been feeling the past few weeks that he already got the axe notice and is making the best of it.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Volume 2 is going to be what really decides whether readers are sticking around.

More like the ToC, these sales will have no relevance if the rankings still shit like it is right now.

Although, given what Sorachi wrote in the volume about how he had wanted to serialize in in Jump+ and felt tricked by his editor and Saito, maybe they'll make an exception and move it there.
I know it's pretty rare, but given the circumstances it doesn't feel impossible or even all that unlikely.
Like if Ayakashi Triangle and Chainsaw Man could get moved to Jump+ over concerns for their content despite high sales, or Ruri Dragon (although its in Jump digital rather than Jump+ straight) due to Shindo's health despite high sales, Sorachi would probably be allowed to get the same privilege. Especially if the series continues to sell well.

Class 2B started 1 place above Avan Dragon Quest spinoff which sells 30k in 2 weeks, so unless it quickly drops behind, 30k+ should be the amount, Roku should be over 15k if keepts above Hima-Ten!

Let me hit the hopium that 2Bs low rankings are due to late manuscripts and it’ll be a success 🤞

Super happy for Roku’s author and Hitoners author redeeming themselves.

Yeah not surprising as I just don’t think the environment or the kid character are good. The mangaka shows a ton of promise for his first series. Probably the most I’ve seen since Kawaguchi. I think he’ll follow the recent trend of second or third chances popping off and will have a huge battle hit soon!
