Under Doctor sells what, around 1/15 of Kagurabachi? Saito's TOCs will always be Saito TOCs after all.

It's weird to see Bachi getting the Nue treatment of getting an anniversary cover skipped and bottom placement, but let's keep doing our best as Nakano series fighting against Saito's oppression.
They don't want to give Kagurabachi colored anniversary pages, okay. But there's no need to put the manga at the bottom; they could have given it better positions.

It is probably a late submission case. Nothing to worry about. But I do think they will give it an anniversary cover by the beginning of the next year.

Kuroki would be the perfect guy to bring back the Summer Jump Heroine illustration, just do it next year Saito :hee
If they did it now, I guess these would be the characters.

One Piece: Nami
Roboco: Roboco
Sakamoto: Osaragi
Witch Watch: Nico
Akanebanashi: Akane
Nue's Exorcist: Nue
Kagurabachi: Hiyuki? Not sure.
Kiyoshi: Akari
Ichi: Desscaras
Shinobi: Aoi
Hertz: Kurage
Under Doctor: Chiwako
Roku: Sachiko
Class 2-B: Valaris
Animal Signal: Kokone
Hal Formula: Haga
Cannon Master: ... no one.
Ura: Ura
Graykeith: Kisaragi

Just not sure about Kagurabachi and Cannon. But Cannon Master is basically the only manga we're sure is getting axed soon, so it doesn't matter.

This reminds me of when Undead Unluck started to hit bottom around the 200s, and then it rushed its final arc to end early....
And Undead Unluck had an anime that had already aired and everything.

So, Kagurabachi ending in a few chapters?

I’d be curious to see the picks for each series’ female rep here…
OP: Nami, duh
Roboco: Also obvious
Sakamoto: Lu’s the default but I’d kinda lean towards Osaragi more at this point?
Witch Watch, Akane: both obvious
Nue: I’d lean Nue but they could maybe get away with one of the girls
Bachi: Iori by default? mayybe Hiyuki but doubtful
Kiyoshi: Prob Akari
Ichi, Shinobi, Someone Hertz, Under Doctor: All obvious
Roku: probably Sachiko
2B, Animal Signal: obvious
Hal: too early to say since we just had a new female character introduced
Cannon Master: Genuinely nothing
Ura, Greykeith: pretty obvious

Okay most of them were straightforward haha. Curious if others have differing thoughts.

Yeah, we’re pretty much on the same page save for Bachi. I think a lot of the current newer Jump heroines aren’t your typical “swimsuit-inclined” characters for lack of a better term, so I don’t know how possible it’d be, but it’d be nice to see something pulled off.

Is Hokazono in an actual Bakuman-style war with the editorial? The last place is insanity :XD

On a more serious note, either editorial needs to be held accountable for making struggling man draw manga or Hokazono is an actual madman that doesn't want to stop until he's done-done, in which case editorial needs to step in and stop this, there is no way you let your prodigy author hurt himself. I personally believe in Hokazono being a madman more because of the wording of the July hiatus announcement, but either way I think editorial needs to put him on a different schedule at this point. I don't read RuriDragon and understand it's a pure fantasy, cause of constant Shindo health problems and this being unfair to every other author in the magazine, but imagine weekly rotation of Ruri and Bachi?

Speaking of other surprises in the ToC, happy to see Under Doctor so high, happy to see Hal Formula not at the bottom, but I also wonder why Animal Signal is so high? Even if there are a lot of people voting for it, what is the incentive to put an underselling series at the 6th place? ToC is not a ranking, but a formula to make the best reader experience possible, sure, but that decision is lowkey buffling (unless I miss some crucial knowledge). Bizarre ToC all around this week.

I kinda want Akira from Sakamoto. Shame that Suzuki put her on the backburner, I think she had quite some potential to be the series’ “it girl”.

A rotation of Ruri and Bachi sounds interesting.

Yeah its not an encouraging sign for the manga. Maybe if it had an already ongoing and airing manga today it could be somewhat protected or have a partner manga it could do crossovers with which like Toriko had which allowed it to avoid early termination from being a bottom dweller, but Kagurabachi has none of that so is left on its own. Very worrying sign.
