I would like you guys to hear me out on this one, because I feel like that they might be the best choice as we've just got 2 romance oriented series done by big name mangaka via Animal Signal & Ura's Report, and the 2 other unserialized GFC winners have done so with romance oriented one-shots (Shirosaki with Loveday Sezaki-san & Hakase with Signal All Red) while Kuji has done more fantasy/action based stories such as Canvas Terra & Beast Summon. If either Shirosaki or Hakase debut with a series based on their one-shots soon, it could risk oversaturating the magazine with rom-coms or romance adjacent series
But half of the magazine is battle already? Isn't that what is oversaturated?

Anyway, both of these oneshots were meh to me. Lacking themes and depth, Signal All Red was much more interesting.

13 pages?? Maybe he's conserving his energy for that upcoming LCP, instead of releasing blatantly unfinished chapters like last year. But also, idk about that. I was looking at last year, when his chapters were all unfinished, and they were still not ranking this low. And I doubt a (presumably) finished 13 page chapter would be submitted later than one that had pages of unfinished art.
Plus you have guys like Suzuki submitting unfinished art too, and yet he's still ranking high. I feel like they'd be giving him more leeway than this.
Suzuki is delivering full chapters even though the art is terrible. Hokazono is pretty much sending whatever he has finished and we know he's always behind the delivery schedule as he mentioned it before. Doubt reception got any worse, it's still selling a lot as usual and it's basically impossible it gets less votes than most of the magazine.

Well, Jump is the battle magazine & battle can take on all sorts of different forms...
I just feel like Kuji is the one with the best shot since we did just got 2 rom-com adjacent series done by veteran mangaka (Robinson, Tsutsui & Numa) in the magazine

My ideology is just that we've seen that extended stretches away from main characters often cause series to just plummet in the toc. Witch Watch's flashback arc, My Villain Academia, etc.
Also, a 15 chapter scribble suzuki chapter is no different from a 15 page finished bachi chapter (like the one we got last week), and yet they rank completely differently. I just find it hard to believe that these rankings are only because of late submissions.

Plus, within the context of the magazine, 3 battle series is not a lot, but 3 romance series is.

GreyKeys and the keys are clearly gold
While you are correct to point that silliness out, sadly in the one shot, the MC's name is literally Greykeys. So it's still accurate even if the keys aren't grey

the kagurabachi low placement has to be another hokazono turned it in late huh? it's looking a bit grim tbh even if it's nowhere cancellation. happy for roku though, surprised animal signal is quite high too. do we think kagurabachi anniversary cover happens right after the double issue?

Are you implying that Kagurabachi is near cancellation...?
No, the exact opposite.

I find it ridiculous even to think about it.
