Btw, Kochikame favorite chapter by Kawae is one with romcom vibes, i just know he really wants to return to the harem/romcom shenanigans lol he's totally going to comeback with a ecchi & romcom after Nue ends right? :fan (Hopefully Nue keeps going for years, i'm just saying...)

In terms of their ranking as series overall:
  • S-tier: Hunter x Hunter
  • A-tier: One Piece, Akane-banashi
  • B-tier: Sakamoto Days, Ichi the Witch, Kagurabachi, RuriDragon, Me & Roboco, Cannon Master, WITCH WATCH
  • C-tier: Shinobi Undercover, Under Doctor, Roku's House of Oddities, Hal Formula, Someone Hertz, Animal Signal
  • D-tier: Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi, Nue's Exorcist, Kinato's Magic, Class 2-B: The Hero Destroyerz, Drawn to the Fire
My rankings based on how much I enjoy reading each series at present:

Consistently high quality:
1. Hunter x Hunter
2. Akane-banashi

Genuinely excited to read a new chapter, makes me think that WSJ is officially Good™:
3. Ichi the Witch
4. Cannon Master
5. One Piece
6. Kagurabachi
7. RuriDragon
8. Me & Roboco

Maybe not the most consistent, but I'm still enjoying them:
9. Sakamoto Days
10. Roku’s House of Oddities
11. Under Doctor
12. WITCH WATCH
13. Hal Formula

It's fine, it exists, I have no qualms in reading a new chapter:
14. Someone Hertz
15. Animal Signal
16. Shinobi Undercover

Not For Me evidently, sometimes it's a pain, sometimes it's painless:
17. Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi
18. Nue's Exorcist

It's hard to feel excited for series that feel dead or have just been bad lately:
19. Kinato’s Magic
20. Class 2-B: The Hero Destroyerz
21. Drawn to the Fire

The new Spider-Man movie was a banger. At the very least I know the upcoming Naruto live action will have good action
Oh? How so??

Under Doctor and Kinato are also ranking significantly lower than Kiyoshi at Amazon.

This Under Doctor sales drop may have a hint on the reason behind its TOC positions on the bottom.

Nue's Exorcist

I really enjoy them regularly

Kagurabachi
Roku's House Of Oddities

I like them, sometimes a bit less, but still like them

Hal Formula
Animal Signal
Someone Hertz

Flips flops in the rankings, overall okay with its current existence

Cannon Master

Some chapters I like a lot, but it has way too many writing issues- Very disappointed in the recent output

Ichi The Witch

Most weeks I am either unimpressed of or straight up bored/annoyed by it

Under Doctor
Class 2B Hero Destroyerz

Getting Axed for a reason

Drawn To The Fire
Kinato's Magic

Overall

Masterpiece

Nue's Exorcist

Very good overall

Kagurabachi
Roku's House Of Oddities
Someone Hertz (bordering on the tier below due to some repetitive chapters)

Good or solid enough

Animal Signal
Hal Formula

Great/Good on occasion and spots, but too many problems overall

Ichi The Witch
Cannon Master

Mostly boring or an absolute mess

Under Doctor
Class 2B Hero Destroyerz

Started good and continued terribly

Kinato's Magic
Drawn To The Fire

Pretty noticeable drops for Under Doctor and Kinato.
The last volume of BC will sell well

I remember the last 2 being in par with BORUTO, but since it’s the last volume i expect it to sell way more

its not like its way behind Kiyoshi, is just one placement lmao

i think it’s expected since we had a lot of trouble with scalpers last time. I don’t think they are bad numbers

But it may be a drop of 50% in comparison to volume 1.

Btw, the sheer irony of how some were arguing after Under Doctor vol 1 sales (and Kinato to some extention) that Kiyoshi might be in trouble for that only for vol 2 to start under Kiyoshi, is hilarious! :XD
If UD falls, then it will be canceled, and Kiyoshi surviving because of the failure of other series doesn't make Kiyoshi a good manga.

You mean that UnDoc is a bad manga?

UD is so axed. RIP
Good foresight from Saito for once, to not jump the gun and give UD a cover. Going to miss Tanimoto's art when it happens.
