WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP THREAD RULES​

#1. No fights or personal insults.
#2. No bait or troll comments with the intention of being annoying or starting serious heated discussions, if i notice it's a continuous behavior, i will warn the user or delete the comment.
#3. No toxic attitude towards series, no one is obligated to enjoy any series and it's totally fine to criticize what you don't like, just avoid posting gratuitous hateful or toxic comments about X or Y series, if i notice this behavior, comments will be deleted.
#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.
#7. Refrain from self advertising or advertising Youtubers videos in the comments.
#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.
~ Shinuki

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

So you think even if it does receive a JJK/KnY level animation and direction, that it cannot get close to that?
Yes

While I think it would be hilarious for something like the bachi anime to flop, its literally only set up for success. Cygames will deliver a good enough adaptation, that covers the stuff people want to see. Its also not coming out too late for hype to die out, and its already being hyped by the west. Something like Chainsawman kinda stagnated because the anime was so late, and also covered such a small amount of the series, while sakamoto days was both late and kinda middling in terms of adaptation.
Although on the Chainsawman comparison, idk, that trailer for bachi was not it, it felt like its going to be as pretentious as the CSM anime was. And chainsawman at least had a valid reason to try and pull that approach, bachi does not lol.

Anyway uh something something, the real winner will be the chojo anime which will have it and ura sell 1 chojillion copies.

Also on the anime front, supposedly Black Clover is slated to have 26 eps, the second half of that will air in 2027. So Pierrot will really be out of series by then. Even more reason to assume they'd be picking up something like Nue or Ichi for 2028.
What a "flop" means anyway?

If it does not boost the manga to reach 500k to 1 million seller?

What is "success"?

Tbh this "flop this flop that" is annoying

If it is well animated that is enough to me personally. Battle shonen fans tend to treat animes like a leaderboard score

By flop, I just meant it doesn't noticeably boost the volume sales. And I'm saying at the bare minimum, it will do that, it is literally set up for success, there's no obvious failure point. If it somehow the anime came out and doesn't move the needle, I would personally find it funny, as everyone is certain of it happening. All that hype for nothing lol. But ofc, this will not happen, if it does we've somehow shifted into a weird bizarro timeline where down is up and the moon is made of cheese.

Very sure even if it increase sales by 50k people will still say it is a flop. Lots of people somehow think and expect it will get jjk-like boost. Not even KGB will get that tbh

Anyway it may be a hot take but i personally believe Ruri is the one that gonna has the biggest boost from anime over KGB or Ichi. Kyo ani name itself gonna draw lots of mainstream viewers, plus Ruri is already extremely popular to outlier level...

Even 50k is good lol. Look I'm seeing this from the perspective of something like Undead Unluck, there was basically no boost. So many jump anime haven't been boosting lately. I would kill for a 50k boost on any series I enjoy. Plus thats a 33% boost from KGB's peak volume sales.

Yeah, unless someone magically appears with the magazine in hands, which pretty sure will not happen, the ToC, preview, color pages and Jump Festa are delayed until tomorrow because of Silver Week! 😭

The magazine cover will much probably appear in 6 ~ 8 hours but nothing else!

We got OP spoilers two days ago so I was sure we’d have the actual leak today. Too bad I really want to know the Jump Festa stages

OP spoilers are in a different league, some sources aren't even from the magazine lol

Silver week????
Summer: Golden Week
Autumn: Silver Week

(Don't ask why the difference, because the concept of it are EXACTLY the same hahah, they are simply a streak of short holidays (1/2 days each).. instead of making separately, they doing it all together)

At this point, Jump has to suspect the leaks are coming straight from the inside (editorial department).

Weekly Oricon Top 50 (9/14/26 - 9/20/26)
15. Kagurabachi #12 (14,722 / 113,111)
36. Kochikame #202 (8,240 / 53,857)


Obs: Kagurabachi still 30k copies behind the last volumes.
No exclusive cards or other merch coming in the volume, previous volumes had exclusive trading cards for that one Manga TCG that is very popular in Japan and other stuff like some stickers or maybe small posters

Plus the industry is having a really bad month, the bar for Shoseki was only 850 copies this month and most series are experiencing a drop relative to their usual sales

You know, i think it's easier to just be like "well, let's see how it holds in next volume" instead of creating like 100 reasons of why the series dropped 30k freaking copies lol
