even though it was a "mandatory color page", it doesn't seem like the manga is going to be cancelled, the story is making a slow pace, doesn't feel like the author is rushing
It'll probably survive because they only need Kinato to end this time with all the other series ending, but it's likely a lock for the axe in the next batch.

Super Duper late votes for issue 33:

1. One Piece
2. Blue Box (would’ve been 1 but OP just popped off)
3. Witch Watch
4. Ichi the Witch
5. Ruridragon

6. Under Doctor
7. Roku’s House of Oddities
8. Nue’s Exorcist
9. Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi
10. Shinobi Undercover

I will try to get votes out for 34 quicker, since I basically have them ready already. Really liked Akane this week.

I read the oneshots this issue.

The Hayashi Seiji one (both parts) was really not good at all, it has the premise of a poor kid going to a school for rich kids and for the most part that's literally the only joke, "they're using rich people things but I'm using poor people things!!". The only smile it even got from me was the first half revealing the school isn't actually very good in terms of education.

The full oneshot this issue was... fine, I guess? It felt a little different to the usual exorcist rubbish with the mini god being a fun character and the MC actually being new to it all instead of a mysterious travelling exorcist who's the strongest ever, but I can't say it left much of an impression and it has the same issue a lot of these do where the 'battle' was just one big attack. If it leaned fully into the god interacting with humans side like Magu-chan it could work, but I don't think it'd be a good action series.

Are there any one shots from (preferably) this year or last few years that really trended? Feels like the one shots have been a bit week lately:

My personal guess for the cover of the issue would be between one of the newer series, like Someone Herzt or Under Doctor, or a Kagurabachi one (as a way of celebrating an early anniversary cover).

For color pages, am guessing its going for a one shot, Shinobi Undercover and Akane Banashi.

Issue 34 rankings:

Great (Tier 1):

1 - Hunter x Hunter (best chapter since it returned...of all three of them! And not just because Gon and Killua returned, kinda. Things feel like they're finally moving again in a big way after some set up the previous chapters)
2 - Akanebanashi (Issho caring more about the Rakugo is on brand, so Akane winning makes sense! Either way he won here though, both Akane and Kaisei evolved and so did the art of Rakugo)
3 - Witch Watch (this shit is so interesting, love a good backstory...also thank god in modern day Nemu likes Keigo, coz we might have had a similar love triangle otherwise lol)
4 - Ichi the Witch (Hakari seems hilarious, excited to see another one of the Stars though I'm a bit surprised we're getting to another one so soon!)
5 - Cannon Master (great chapter. The fits are clean as shit. Also I don't really get the complaints about Ur myself tbh, he's been fine)

Good (Tier 2):

- Someone Hertz (the ghost disguise was cute)
- HAL Formula (might be a bit too much technical talk but as someone who isn't into F1 I sorta appreciate it lol)
- Kiyoshi (Damn, how did you know the creator of this was an assistant of Oda's? Maybe because they have the exact same double page spread panelling style lol)
- Under Doctor (good chapter, the bullet is actually a cool memento for Shuli!)
- Shinobi Undercover (Cute, also fun seeing Mimizuku and Bato being kinda dad-bros lol, one dad for each of them)
- Roku (fun! Hilarious after all his efforts that he works for a chain food store, but a job's a job! We don't job shame here. Also Johan is a complete bum smh)

OK (Tier 3):

- Animal Signal (I think this series, if it lives for a while, essentially becomes my Hima-ten replacement - an inoffensive romcom type series that i'm not especially attatched too but it's an ok read)
- Me and Roboco (happy 6 years!)
- Kinato's Magic (holy speed run and holy "everyone's here!". This is probably heading towards an end huh?)
- Class 2-B (Didn't really care much for this chapter tbh, at least Mr. Expendable is around, he continues to be the MVP of the series imo)
- Drawn to the Fire (I mean...it was alright lol, it's certainly a sports series...I have nothing to say about it, i'll be completely real lmao)
- Nue's Exorcist (I had to look up who the hell Yagyo even was tbh. Never a good sign.)
- Sakamoto Days (I guess Nagumo is the main character now lol, not that I hate it. Hilarious if this is just gonna end with Nagumo killing Uzuki)


Not my fav issue of the magazine ever tbh, but it was ok.

Okay let's go again for some predictions!

Cover for issue #36 could go for either Witch Watch or Shinobi Undercover early anniversary. I will say Witch Watch.
CP for Akane, Shinobi and Under Doctor. Hope we can have 3 series with a CP now that KGB returned from hiatus. If it's 2 + a one-shot, I'm gonna say only Shinobi & UnDoc.

In issue 35 ToC, I'm gonna predict:
Top 5 (1st to 5th) = Ichi, OP, Hertz, Kagurabachi, Akane.
Mid 5 (6th to 10th) = Witch Watch, Roboco, Animal Signal, Shinobi Undercover, Roku.
Bottom 5 (last to 11th) = Kinato, DttF, Class2B, HxH & UnDoc.

So, gonna predict Animal Signal's first rank as 8/15th.

Now I need to sleep, it's 4AM bruh

Like said last week, this week issue #35 leaks will be delayed due to Marine holiday on Japan, no magazine distributed to the usual stores, it may appear later today but not sure too.
--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

Since will be delayed, i will make my predictions:

For issue #36

-Cover & Lead Color Pages will go either for Bleach: Hell Arc starting or Akane-banashi for vol release & new arc.

-Color Pages will be: Either Akane-banashi for vol release if doesn't get the cover or Animal Signal for popularity, Under Doctor for vol release and Kochikame special chapter

For issue #35

-Top 5 will be: One Piece, Ichi the Witch, Someone Hertz, Akane-banashi and Animal Signal

-Bottom 5 will be: Kinato's Magic, Drawn to the Fire, Class 2B Hero Destroyerz, Hunter x Hunter and Witch Watch

Wait, no way Sakamoto will end abruptly this week, right? So I do not think Bleach will start next week as it is supposed to take Saka's spot

Assuming volume 29 would have 10 chapters (Chapter 256-265), and volume 30 has the same length (chapter 266-275), that means Sakamoto Days still has up to 7 more chapters.

Sakamoto will definitely be in the double issue, since they have to put him on the group cover

Looks like Betten Court and Hiro Mashima, both of which who has done alot of marvel collabs, are doing artworks for the Marvel Tokon's Storymode.

I'm gonna assume Horikoshi will be in it too.
