    1. They are Jump SQ authors (Kaku and Endo), who gained valuable experience with their previous series. Jump+ platform gave them more freedom on the type of series they could do, no guarantee they would have been serialized with those series in Jump. And Jump can choose which to move to Jump...

    Yeah, I read that, that's why I said "also", since: Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #1: Chainsaw Man (CP) Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #2: CP: My Hero Academia (2 Consecutive Color Pages - Issue #2 & #3), Chainsaw Man, We Never Learn, ZIPMAN!! (25p) So does Chainsaw gets 2 CPs in a row or the one in...

    So does Chainsaw Man also gets two CPs in a row or this is a typo?

    It had 4 chapters until SQ started, but those were extra shorter stories, not main storyline. I wouldn't count it, it's like including/counting YJ title that had 1-2 extra chapters in Jump. It's not like it was temporary moved, it just received extra chapters.

    The fact there is non-stop talking about S8 means quite a lot (like rename the thread to S8 Discussion already). No one was talking that much for the cancelled series when they were underperforming. Sale-wise it may not be the hottest shit, but talk-wise it is a hot-shit. Worst case scenario if...

    Being just the artist doesn't mean he won't fall under the rule. Artists can always be found. Amano Yoichi is also a great artist, but it seems he won't return to Jump anymore (because of the rule). It may actually have to do, that some of his series weren't considered cancelled/failures. As for...

    The 2/3 strikes rule is obviously for new unestabilshd authors and not Nura, Beelzebub, Psyren authors. Basically people like Red Sprite/Iron Knight author, Mitsukubu Condor/Amalgam author. Although naturally if the estabilshed authors keep failing with new series, they may fall under that rule...

    The other legend is that the series was so badly/poorly received, that the author decided to stop working on it, before even Jump told him it will be axed.

    Act-age was bottom dweller and was about to be cancelled. It managed to survive and pick up in reception and popularity later. Jujutsu wasn't that well received too until 10th or so chapter and started to pick up after that, and thus it got for ch16 CP Chainsaw was the best received from those 3...

    Sure, you work at Jump and know there was no good reception for S8. Every series that get early CP is just pushing, and nothing to do with good reception, right? I also bet when Jump says the total number of sales, it's just a buzzword too and real number is 3 times less. I can agree it got more...

    Do you have proof for that? And where exactly I said that? Where I used the word "popular"? Good reception is not popularity, it may have a direct connection sometimes, but it's not the same. A movie can have good reception from both critics and audience, but to do poorly in the box office ->...

    Samurai 8 getting CPs in chapter 7, 9 & 12 (lead) for good reception, etc. Then gets low placement for ch13 and: - Rain: I told you guys, the manga failed and it's getting cancelled Also he read all the twitter and didn't find positive things about it. Because we all know, all manga fans are...

    Given that it's in bottom 5 already, that's the easiest poll I have voted

    That's one big turd of bullshit. Toei didn't pick up Toriko because of that, but because it felt it had similar audience like OP and DB. And only after picking it up, they did the crossovers. Also Shueisha wasn't pushing Toriko like crazy. During those "crazy pushes" other series had more...

    "didn't had a chance" making it like it can't survive due to no room. In reality series suck. Its been 10 or so chapters and there is basically zero developement and nothing interesting happened to have readers occupied. It had potential, but it's simply bad. If a series is good, it will survive...
