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.
True I guess, it just always sucks to see the mag running 1 less series. Hopefully HxH returns in jan or so, and takes this slot. It would actually be cursed if the first 2027 batch was Naruto, Bleach, and then HxH lol.

Sakamoto Days will end next issue with color pages!

Well, there goes one of the few manga I read every week. At least Suzuki can finally rest from the weekly grind. The poor guy had to deliver frequent color pages and promo art like the Ichi and Shinobi duos despite being a solo author, to the point of affecting his manuscripts. The last third of Sakamoto's serialization is full of chapters with reduced page counts and barely legible scribbles like Kagurabachi, yet Suzuki rarely took a break throughout his career.

Thank you Cannon Master for sparing Kagurabachi from the bottom again.

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!"


The last WSJ manga set in the Meiji era was Rurouni Kenshin. Which brings me to one thing: How many mangas are set in the Meiji era out there? I don’t recall that many….

See, it's a battle manga.
I think it's absolutely absurd they don't have more than 3 series ready. What are the editors doing? It ultimately falls on Saito to have this better set up. Like the options are either running with one less series which is cheating the readers or it's keeping Cannon Master which is DOA and that time is better spent on the mangaka forming a new series as he is promising and has a hit within him. And with One Piece feeling like it's going on break every 3 weeks; it's just absurd to run with 19.

After Kenshin, Golden Kamuy is probably the only other big named Meiji series

The main character is cute at least (no homo). This "Hizuki is captivated by the new civilization!" bit sounds like he is either a country cop moving to the big city, or a cop from another time being transported to the Meiji era (I hope it's the former).

Even though this color page is due to the manga's supposed popularity, I can't help but be concerned that Graykeith came in third place below Shinobi (which consistently gets color pages and wouldn't have been affected by being lower in the TOC just this time).
Animal Signal is also oddly high despite doing worse than HAL in sales. Saito's bias for romance and gags is so blatant.

Theory: Cannon Master is surviving this round so Kagurabachi isn't in the bottom 1 every week! :derp

Joking, still sure is ending next week, no way this battle isn't the final one lol

It probably gets better surveys unironically even if they're selling similarly.

Animal Signal & Hal Formula difference in sales is barely 1k, Animal Signal is a much more mainstream and easy series to get votes than Hal.

Ura and Roku's first color page also came that "low", so I wouldn't mind that position.

It's mostly due to seniority. Wouldn't read too much into it

11. Under Doctor
Under Doctor on bottom 5 is not that good.
--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

And then it turns out they’re ranking well in the coming weeks.….
Yeah. I can see Ura, Roku and Graykeith alternating positions within the top5, while they keep Akane, Ichi and Hertz fixed on the top.
