The only think worth thinking about cancellation based on this TOC is Under Doctor and Class 2B. HxH and Kagurabachi are serving as a sort of barrier to put space between the series that are in the actual risk zone (UD and 2B) and the newer ones that are in a spot of concern, but not quite on the chopping block (Hal Formula, Cannon Master). Unless those 4 shuffle around a little more in the next few weeks that tells me they've given up on Under Doctor after the vol. 2 sales and given up on Sorachi's name keeping 2B afloat, and are willing to stick it out to see how volume sales for Hal and Cannon Master look before making the call on axing them.

For Kagurabachi, this is making me think even more that Hokazono has been burdened with some extra duties lately, which means either a) there's an anniversary cover/color on the way, b) he has been rather involved with the anime production, or c) this brother is going to be NEEDING this double issue break if not a couple more weeks of break.

Though, to be honest, if he ended up striking a Roboco-esque deal with editorial where he's allowed to get away with 15 page chapters as the norm, I guess I wouldn't hate that? If it contributes to keeping things consistent while staying healthy I can't say I hate on it. But if there's nothing like that and it's just a constant struggling to stay afloat, I do worry a little. Not that it's gonna get cancelled, but you never know when something like a Chainsaw Man pt. 2 move to Jump+ or something else do normalize a lighter schedule for him could happen.

I hope folks realize bachi's low toc placements really don't matter like at all lmao.
Think you gotta remember low placements aren't always for ratings, sometimes chapters are turned in late. A 13 page late submission doesn't really imply the best of health for Hokazono. That is indeed, grim.

For real?
Yeah

Do you think it's possible that Jump could cancel Kagurabachi now?

With an anime coming, too?

Latest bachi chapters were great both in terms of the art and the pace, so unless 13 page chapters become a norm or Hokazono misses an issue failing to submit a chapter in time (like it was one or two times before the hiatus in July), I think it's a little bit too early to say everything is grim, no?

I got the impression that struggling Hokazono was given a leeway in from of 15 page chapters and if anything I too think that 13 pages has to do with incoming color page(s).

Is DttF author's career over, by the way? Since Japanese are so anti-plagiarism, I thought he's done with as soon as I read about him copying Ahiru no Sora.

Eh, depends. The Chihayafuru artist managed to pick herself up again for her past plagiarism she did prior to Chihayafuru

I quote:

"She was born on September 8, 1975. Her career was put on hiatus after she was discovered of being accountable for plagiarism, including tracing. She later resumed her work on March 2007. She won Manga Taisho Award 2009 for the Chihayafuru manga. However she declined to attend the award ceremony, claiming that she needed more effort to make up for her past mistake and to repay who helped her for resuming. [1] In 2011 she then won the 35. Kodansha Manga" Award in the Girls, again for the Chihayafuru manga.

Hal Formula will be getting a "super luxurious" recommendation for its 1st volume!

Just had the epiphany that a serialized Signal All Red would be stepping on the toes of Animal Signal as a romcom manga about superpowered individuals starring a tsundere. Yup, if Animal Signal takes off, we're not seeing Signal All Red for a loooooooong time.
You know, I was going to make an argument for the push for Signal All Red because it was a romcom with the idea to have more slice of life aspects, and saw Animal Signal as nothing more than a comedy. But after your argument, you’re right. There is just to much overlap for both to run at the same time. It’s best to save Signal All Red for another time if things start to change for Animal Signal.

Plenty of authors have done tracing and continue to work just fine, i saw the pages and, ehh, doesn't feel like a big deal since is a couple of very common basket poses, give it some years and people will not even remember or care since the manga is a flop anyway.

Soda Masahito, Capeta & Firefighter Daigo author, recommending it would be pretty big.

Even if Animal Signal was ranking worse, I think it'd be guaranteed an extra round given it's not just from a successful Jump vet, but also a duo with the art done by a mangaka they poached from Sunday.

Not sure why everyone here is hyping up Grey Keys so much, given Hell Warden Higuma was one of the most bland, generic battle manga I've ever read. Felt like a fake series that'd be running in the background of a TV show or something.
Then again, maybe he'll pull a Hitoner and have somehow grown a lot. Still blows my mind how enjoyable Hitoner is despite Iron Knight being as mid as it was, and Red Sprite being an absolute clusterfuck.

Like, if Grey Keys ends up pretty good, that'd be rad. Just that I feel those getting hyped up might be setting themselves up for some major disapointment.

Also fuck, that Ura Report color page is so good.
Really good one for Shinobi as well.
