From Kinato's leaker:
"関係ないけど今週のロクが呪術廻戦みたいなこと言っててシュールだった"
"Unrelated, but Roku was saying something this week that sounded straight out of Jujutsu Kaisen, and it felt hilariously surreal."

Yee, the fact that we haven't even seen the color pages for this week's issue yet concerns me

I feel like people are taking Animal Signal's 9th place rank way too lightly. As soon as I saw it, I thought it was a terrible spot to start in, so I decided to check every single debut TOC ranking for new manga since 2020 to test my theory.
Looking at the data, not a single manga that debuted at 9th place or lower during this period managed to survive. It's a really bad ranking! Series starting at 8th place have made it through, but 9th? Zero.
Of course, this doesn't mean Animal Signal is 100% getting axed, but it’s definitely a bad sign.
If anyone's interested, here's the list of manga that debuted at 9th place or below:

2020
Agravity Boys - 9
Our Blood Oath - 9
Time Paradox Ghost Writer - 9
Zipman - 10
Guardian of the Witch - 10

2021
I Tell C - 9
Kowloon's' Ball Parade - 9
NERU - 13

2022
Aliens Area - 9

2023
Tenmaku Cinema - 9
Do Retry - 12
Two on Ice - 13
Ice Head Gil - 15

2024
Green Green Greens - 9
KYOKUTO NECROMANCE - 12
HAKUTAKU - 12
Shadow Eliminators - 13
Dear Anemone - 13
Cycle Biyori - 14

2025
Kaedegami - 9
Ember - 10
Star of Bethoven - 11
Nice Prison - 11
Ping Pong - 14

2026
Gonron Egg - 9
Tonari no Osoegawa - 10
JK Yuusha to Inkyo Maou - 11
Honestly I could easily see the whole last batch being cooked, which is a shame because I do enjoy Cannon Master and what I’ve read of Hal Formula was solid. But we all know how hard it is for spokon to survive and it just doesn’t seem like Cannon Master has enough hype around it (at least based on what posters here have said who follow JP reception). And this is all the proof I need to be convinced on Animal Signal’s demise, I highly doubt it’s the series destined to break this trend.

I’ve only just realized based on how the hands stick out of each side, the covers for volume’s 24-26 are all connected to each other, and the last one is clearly also going to be, so that’ll make for a giant 4-cover spread when 27 drops.

Only 7 chapters I feel like voting for this week. Thankfully the top 3 was really good, so I'll give the extra votes to those.

Votes:

1) Kiyoshi: As an ordinary boy, she says, while teaching him elite training techniques and nothing else. Great callback to the first chapter. Great Akari moment too. And we're already gearing up for the next arc, with lots of pieces of lore coming together.

2) Cannon: Yeah, this is shaping up to become one of my favourites. I really hope it lives at least a little.

3) Shinobi: I did mention back then that Frog Seamstress seemed out of place next to the other attack names. I didn't think they'd actually explain it.
That was pretty wholesome, though I do wonder why Aoi didn't just tell those stalkers to bugger off.

4) WW: Clever twist. Now I'm wondering if their names are the same in Japanese, or if the translator was told about the word play several years ago (when the name Roswitha first showed up) so they could think up a proper English version.

5) Drawn: It's not rushing, for now. I actually like the characters and the art, so I hope it stays around another round (though I know it's never going to be a long series).

Roku: I'm surprised he didn't apply for a position as cook. This new job'll suit him though.

Akane: I would've been fine with either of them winning, but that guy is an a-hole.

Dr: See?! This is why you don't go digging around for bullets! If removing the thing will cause more bleeding, you leave it where it is until you get to a hospital. It's too bad, because the emotional beats in this chapter would be pretty good if he wasn't giving dangerously bad advice to any child (and adult) reading this.

Ichi: Heh! Doesn't work so well without your powers, does it?

Kinato: So regular monster migrations are a thing in this world? At first I thought the brash girl and the princess were gonna swap places because they look alike, but then two of the women they saved (page 15) looked very similar too, so it might just be a case of Same Face Syndrome.

Destroyerz: I'm confused about who can see these textboxes. Some people are commenting on them, while others seem completely oblivious.


It need consultant because without him most illness sounds weird or fabricated for the manga (one of the biggest examples is the Shuli’s one.. that bring him to be mute at first and unmute at second with a single finger shot… all for that to explain that it wasn’t a mutism illness, but just a nerve-stress one cause by a big/bad event)
I dunno, I feel like this consultant isn't even reading the chapters. "Let the weight of the scalpel do the work"? It's not a sword, dude. Those things weight nothing. You won't be able to cut through butter like that.

13. Animal Signal: The formula is still acceptable but risks to become stale if it is repeated for too long. If the recruit failed the recognition mission, does it mean she's fired?
No? It was just part of her training. You're supposed to suck in the beginning, that's what the training is for.

16. Someone Hertz: There is a detail that bugs me: at page 4, Mizuo is shown moving woodboard with her shoes on, then in the same panel she trips on her slipper and falls. What was she actually wearing then?
That threw me off too! But then I noticed she was inside the school in that second panel, so I guess she just changed into indoor slippers and the Japanese are so used to people changing shoes constantly that they see no need to explain this.

lol, they really like their scalpers....
If it means they can sell twice as much, why wouldn't they.

He's done enough extra chapters to fill 2 volumes which have already released after 2016. He'll keep doing them until he's had enough
I wonder if he’s aiming to reach chapter 2000 before he calls it, but that might be infeasible at the rate he’s going (not sure how close he is since looking up the current chapter count is being tricky).

Considering Kochikame apparently never took a single break throughout its entire run, I doubt he has any plans on when to stop. He'll just keep making new chapters on special occasions or just randomly when he has an entire for one until he's physically unable to draw anymore.

See? And then you say the story didn't promise horror. But it seemed like a horror comedy as predicted, and so far it hasn't shown any horror at all.

Dude, it's based on classic horror tropes and characters. You already lost this argument, stop it already.

It doesn't have that "it's based on clichés and classic horror characters" thing, when the author himself wants to build a backstory for each of them.

Nobody asked Shinuki to stop complaining about Kill Blue's finishing move.

LET'S GOOOO

Nue's Color Page is fantastic! Amazing perspective work, and I do love the addition of the Yin-Yang, I wonder if there is a bigger meaning to it...

Yagyo seems to be blonde like Gakuro, which makes me further believe in the connection these two have. A banger as always!!

Ah Nice, is that bobo on the right side? I'm glad we're finally getting him and lulu in color. Totally forgot we'd get the volume alongside this color page.
