Animal Signal has ranked decently so far, it has yet to rank in the bottom 3, so i really don't know why anyone would think the manga is in any danger right now lol

When it suits them, ToC positions matter; Animal Signal only sold 5k.
Hal Formula, which sold the same, is at risk of cancellation, while Animal Signal is safe?
Then when I say there's protection on top of comedies, I'm exaggerating.

It’s straddling a fine line between safe and axed at the moment.

ToC positions always matter more than volume sales for newbies, none of this has ever changed lol Hal Formula isn't getting axed this round but it's definitely more in risk because it ranks worse, simple as that lol

And since when are the authors of Animal Signal newbies? There aren't any newbies there.

I mean new series, not new authors lol
It doesn't matter, one of the authors is from "We Never Learn," which, despite the success of the first series, failed to bring back its old audience to the new manga.

It doesn't matter if is Tsutsui or if is Gege or Horikoshi, if is ranking decently in the ToC despite mediocre/bad sales it will not get axed, simple.

Well, at least Roku, Ura and Graykeith are doing well this year. Under Doctor is on hold regarding its success.

Like, editors are placing several manga with low sales in favorable positions while Kagurabachi, even with sales above 100K and products being sold to promote the anime, is getting bottom positions. And this has nothing to do with voting. I doubt that the Japanese hate the current arc so much that it's in last place and they prefer to keep Animal Signal in a good position.

So you think they are putting Kagurabachi on the bottom to promote Animal Signal?

lol so this is about Kagurabachi? Animal Sales performance has nothing to do with Kgb placement so i don't get your point

Will the year of 2027 have any abnormal double issues like this year? Also, I have plans to show off some authors from some jump giga issues from this, last and a couple of years ago that I would really enjoy seeing debut. Of course am not gonna post one shots of authors who already made debuts.
Thisis a list of authors i would very much enjoy seeing debut next year, just as a side note am only posting one shots from authors who only made one shots in Giga not the main magazine. Just making sure people know this:

Am starting from last year 2025:

Hamano Nene:

Ogawa Hiragi:

Hirokoshi Ame
:

Motobucho:

Akio Bulldog:

Okada Masaru:

Ameri Kanigimo:

Shou Shiromoto:

Yato Araragi:

From 2026:

Yoneboshi:

Ayano Sasaki:

Shirou Makigyuu:

Ittetsu Sakamaki:

Hayashi Tatsuya:

Takeshi Fukahori:

Arashi Fujimi:

Tomohiro Okuno:

Rintaro Okubo:

Tenyu Ishigami:

Kaminagi Akira:

These are the main ones i wish to see make debut series in the future. Feel free to disagree or agree with me on these authors.

This is about everything. Animal Signal's rankings don't match its sales figures, and Kagurabachi's low rankings are exaggerated.

Animal Signal had two CPs before the first volume was released, and many thought it would sell well.

Under Doctor sold 20k copies in its first volume and dropped 12k in its second volume. I don't know how much it will do in the third volume, but it seems to be recovering, so I believe it will do more than the second volume, at least. So it's not like Under Doctor sells less than Kiyoshi, it's more like they're on the same level. But Kiyoshi never surpassed 20k.
It was scalped, these sales are irrelevant to how popular it is. Kiyoshi was never scalped, it's more popular. It's that simple.

Shou Shiromoto:
I know it's because the oneshot did well, but feels like a waste to have this guy and instead debut Satosho for a basketball spokon. Basketball is now probably off-limits for 4 to 5 years.

If the ToC rankings would match manga sales the ToC would be just a list of who sells better every week, and ToC has never been that.

Yes, but you can't dismiss manga sales either; it's clearly a sign that people are buying and collecting the series. Isn't that an indication that some people like it?

I understand the reason why Kagurabachi could be on the bottom. But to be on the dead last for two issues and second to last for one is really strange. Worse enough is to have no anniversary cover.

Shiromoto does not have to debut a spokon, he did do different types of one shots beforehand, its just that this one shot was popular on social media, heck he was an assistant for both Tite Kubo and Hajime Komoto for goodness sake so that already puts him on the radar in Shueisha.

Well, I hope that one-shot does become a series. Seeing that it is street basketball that is coed makes it interesting. It’s kind of like a past Jump title that did it in the past called I’m a Faker. However, it ended up getting canceled and was was in the same position like Psych House and Time Paradox Ghostwriter due to the tackling of the subject matter in the case of lying.
