ROKU COVER?! LETS GOOOOOO!! If true, Jump obviously has a lot of faith in it which makes me so happy. Hopefully it translates to solid sales as well, I really want this series to go on for a long time!

Roku cover would be quite surprising, not that I'm complaining.

Will Roku have sales equal to or better than Blue Box?

Pretty hype for the Roku cover, but bummer that 2B is bottom 3. I wonder if they were planning for a 2B cover and pivoted to letting Roku have it because its the only one in the batch that isn't flopping.

I don't think Roku is gonna sell a lot. But even Roboco doesn't need its sales to be 100K to reach 300 chapters.

It's always the same in this forum, any manga that most people here like, if it sells poorly, they start saying that sales don't matter.
But in the current situation it's very problematic, after all Blue Box has already ended and Sakamoto Days should end in a few chapters.
So, they do need manga with high sales.

What do you mean by high sales?
Because standards are different today than they were ten years ago.

Well, Roboco didn't sell good ever since it started 6 years ago. At its best, it sold 25K a month. It always relied on magazine's surveys and stuff like that.

This doesn't mean that any manga has to remain alive in the magazine. Otherwise, Phantom Seer shouldn't have been canceled in the first place.

Very excited for the Roku cover! When was the last time we had a new series get a second cover this early? Kill Blue?
Also happy Kinato is not dead last for once.

Next issue would be on ch 17, which is the same point that Someone Hertz got its cover. Ichi the Witch got one on ch 15.

Well, I'm embarrassed for forgetting Someone Hertz got one so early with it being my icon and all!
Still, seems Roku is in good company with the other hits from Saito's tenure.

Damn Marine holiday, if wasn't for this i would have posted the ToC in the usual time, get blown away by seeing Roku big in the preview page and already posted Nue color page 😭

Anyway, i guess Saito read my comment:

Btw, if there's something i'm genuinely curious from now it's how the cover distribution is going to work, Blue Box ended, Sakamoto is ending very soon, Kagurabachi still Kagurabachi so they can't abuse it and Witch Watch is not going to suddenly start getting covers, i also don't really expect Kubo to be drawing covers left & right, which means they literally only have One Piece & Ichi the Witch that gets regular covers, they seriously need to start getting more flexible with magazine covers since now they're only left with the middle tier series being able to deliver covers.
Now we wait for the eventual Under Doctor cover & lead cp, seeing how the series isn't in the bottom 3 and getting a cp next week, what i expected is slowly getting real which is the series slowly estabilishing itself.

And Class 2B at the bottom 2 again after a bottom 3 color page, i guess the late submission theory is out, Sorachi about to turn into the next big veteran victim -_-;

Yes, but we still have to understand that we will hardly sell series that sell like those from a decade ago.
