Jean is the first new series I’ve been really deflated about in a long while. Even romance or gag manga that I don’t care much for at least had a hint of potential excitement. Just feels like such a waste of the spot due to the art.

If they're smart, they'd get Naruto/Bleach remake rights.

I don't see any other ip worth investing as well as being obtainable. And the current magazine IP's don't really have that oomph. Though I guess they could try with Kagurabachi.

edit: Hunter x Hunter would be good as well. And it's obtainable.

Graykeith is a battle manga and Hizuki is likely one as well. He debuts battle manga all the time, people just don't like them.
I’m a little on the fence about Graykeith being a “battle manga”. It seems to me it’s more like SoL with “battle manga” elements mixed in.

Yeah, I think that's been one of my biggest concern with these recent batches, he's been leaning far too heavily towards romances & comedies rather than battle series, with the only action series (that we know of at the time of typing this) in those 3 batches being Cannon Master, which is not long for this world.
If Saito is unable to get a battle series off the ground, it'll probably reflect on him far, FAR worse than Nakano being unable to get a sports series off the ground, because battle manga has always been Jump's bread & butter & Nakano was able to get a few successful battle hits like JJK & Sakamoto Days.
Well, Saito did launch Nisekoi, so I think it’s not surprising those genres are doing well under his tenure.

Eh, I don’t really have many issues with him on that front. Between Hertz, Roku, and (probably) Ura, you could argue he has a pretty good eye for what comedy/romance stuff will be successful. I’d also note that both Inui and Machida were quite hyped up battle focused newbies despite them ultimately flopping so it’s not like he’s not trying on that front lol.
Pretty much. Saito’s definitely good on that front.

Nope. Do not want Sony within a twenty inch pole near shueisha. With how much of a stronghold they have within anime and light novel distribution I simply to not want them to have even more control by using one of the biggest shonen magazines in the world.

Sorry but I do not like this as a anime watcher or even as a regular manga fan. Prefer different folks giving it a shot, since at least it would not be held as an exclusive to be used over others in some shape or form.

If Sony gets agressive, this should fall under violations of monopoly laws, (and what’s the other name…..I forgot 😓) no? Unfortunately Japanese Law isn’t very strong on this one, as far as I know.

Oh, I know. That's why I do not want them near it. I am seeing how they are being in anime subscription and video game area, I see why piracy is becoming kinda prominent thanks to their decision making and everyone else's using their stupid to their own beenfit. But that is not a conversation for this thread so, best to ignore the last comment of mine and move to greener pastures.

Unfortunately, its not out yet where I usually get it. So its likely to be a while. But am not that concerned.

Dang so Sakamoto is ending but Bleach isn't replacing it. Will Cannon Master last another batch? Or will we have an empty slot with the GFC also ending?

Oldest series after roboco and one piece are akane,kagurabachi and nue now

LMAO
Weirder that the next in line there is Kiyoshi lol. Really insane that only 3 series left have over 200 chapters, and only 4 have over 150. (Bachi has less due to all the breaks)

It feels like its ending, but also if they really wanted to, it could be a fakeout into surviving for another batch. Like idk, I assumed kinato and Otr were ending at points when they didn't. I'd just find it odder to have 3 slots open now, and then still decide to axe a series to get a fourth. Why not make this a 4 batch, then?

Mr. Hizuki of the Ginza Backstreet Police Box is described as a Meiji action series!

"A action-packed police story set in the Meiji era! Officer Hizuki is captivated by the new civilization!"

They don't have 4 series ready. Cannon Master performs bad enough they might think it being there or not doesn't really matter and they can run on 19 for some time.

See, it's a battle manga.
