Here's my theory: Kagurabachi and Nue are two series in the roster that could surpass One Piece, and Jump's editorial department is trying to prevent this. I hope they at least won't break the authors' hands.

I use this rule: The series I like are at the bottom of the TOC because of the evil editor-in-chief. The series I don't like are there because they're boring and people don't vote for them.

I'd say Studio A-Cat. These guys aren't widely known enough; it's time for them to work with Jump. Alright, but seriously, I think it'll be a studio nobody knows, one that has only made 1 or 2 anime, or maybe none at all. A lot of new studios are popping up right now. A twist like that could...

Besides, KyoAni hasn't been in the mainstream for a long time; their last big hit was Violet Evergarden, and that was back in 2018. City the Animation completely flew under the radar.

What's the deal with Pierrot anyway? Their animation is clearly above the industry average. Excluding long-runners, especially since they've practically disappeared by now.

Deen has one good team, just like J.C.Staff, which is also frequently mentioned on Twitter. So this might be one of those cases where people are unhappy with the studio, but in reality, things won't turn out so bad.

Speaking of Tsugimanga, spots 2 through 6 in the print category were swept by Weekly/Monthly Sunday manga, so it's not like Jump has no competition. And we already have a non-Jump contender for the win next year - Sensen Senki.

Idolatry, Dead Account and several other series from WSM were transferred instead of being canceled, while series are transferred from Young Magazine to Yanmaga constantly, practically every month.

Manga gets transferred from WSM to Magazine Pocket, and from Young Magazine to Yanmaga Web, and it's no big deal. But because this is Jump, people are like, "Noooo, we have to DESTROY and BURN everything that didn't survive in Jump, or better yet, shoot the author".

Towards the end, Gintama's volume sales were around 200k a month, Toriko's were at 200k, and Soma's were 170k. But sure, let's pretend Gintama has a fanbase like Naruto's.

I hear way too much in this thread about sales being driven by Sorachi's name, but having a big name didn't help Build King or Tenmaku hit even 5k.

Why should they be close? I think you took it too literally.

Why did you take this as some sort of dig at Kiyoshi? The only point is that Jump learned a lesson with Phantom Seer. Regardless of what anyone thinks about its quality, its sales only continued to grow even after it got axed. And yes, calling an axed series "doomed" is purely hindsight bias...

Phantom Seer was sacrificed so that Kiyoshi and Kagurabachi could live. I'm sure Shueisha considers axing it so early a mistake.

If Sorachi can't keep up with the schedule and as a result 2B is unlikely to run for long in Jump, what is the point of promoting the series on group covers? It's like Kagurabachi/Ichi. Even if Kagurabachi got better reader votes, if I were the editor-in-chief of Jump, I would place Ichi higher...
