Definitely sad about no Graykeith color page. Still has a chance but definitely not a good sign. Kagurabachi last place is definitely something. I know its not going anywhere though, and just gives me fond memories of the shit storm from when it got last place and Nue got first lol Also the...

Not really surprising both new series are flops. I do like Zureta Kaishaku no Bokura, its cute, but there's also not really anything special about it. Gunyu o Tsuzuru has bad art and the misfortune of debuting right after Sensen Senki, a series that is both similar and better than it in every way.

I had pretty low expectations for the Yumene Connect anime, but man that PV looks good. Looking forward to it now.

Its didn't show too much, but the PV looked good at least. Lets just hope the quality is consistent.

I would be against the magazine becoming overrun with sequel series, but I have no problem with Kishimoto doing a new Naruto miniseries. I also would love for Gege to come back, but with a new series. I know a lot of people are unhappy with the original ending, personally I was fine with it at...

The idea that the Ruri anime can't be a huge hit because its SoL is silly. No one could've expected its initial explosion in popularity. That alone proves that the genre isn't preventing it from reaching a huge audience at all. If the hiatus hadn't happened, it would be one of the biggest series...

Yes. No other cancellation has pained me more than it. Doesn't help that after years of waiting for Usazaki's return, Ichi has been a disappointment for me.

Its pretty unlikely we would have two years like 2025 in a row, but if this time next year Roku is the only 2026 series still around then Saito really would be a failure and need to be removed immediately. I don't think that will happen, but at the moment Roku is the only one we can definitely...

The idea that being an ecchi/harem series automatically excludes a series from becoming a huge hit is stupid. Especially in the case of Nue, which is relatively tame among such series and has lots of other aspects that do appeal to a more mainstream audience. Some well animated fight scenes and...

I think this is very obviously the direction the manga is taking after the previous arc, and I dislike it. "Revenge is bad" is boring.

I am happy to see Sensen Senki doing well even if the numbers are inflated by scalpers, but why would it even be a target for them? Just predicting that its going to be a hit?

It would simply make no sense to keep a manga in the physical magazine just because it has a following in the west. Sure we could have another case like Kagurabachi where it goes viral in the west and that leads to it getting more attention from Japanese readers despite their initially lukewarm...

Even though I am biased because we got Someone Hertz out of it, 2024 was a bad year for Jump, this is true. But as tirakai said above, this was coming after 2024 which was objectively a great year for the magazine, and 2023 was pretty good too. (Plus personally I like Nue and Kagurabachi way...

I get your point, I felt the same way about the first couple chapters of this batch. It is true that I don't think Togashi is writing the series to go at a significantly faster pace than he would if he was actually doing it weekly, which can be good or bad depending on your point of view...

I thought the first chapter of Graykeith was pretty good. Glad I waited a bit to write out my thoughts because I like it more and more the more I sit on it. Graykeith himself is a pretty fun protagonist, and Kisaragi is cute and should be a good foil to him. (Jump has had a lot of great female...
