Does anyone who read Dog eat dog know if the series itself opens itself up to a series? Feel like most post apocalyptic series kind of taper out outside of HnK.

I need to read the one-shot officially before I can make a judgement on that. Furthermore we still have more one-shots left in the GFC to judge before it’s decided to become a series.

I prefer his former one shot from GIGA, i don't know if this kind of story has potential as a actual series, at least on WSJ, his former one shot is a historical one with fantasy and mythical creatures, so it's much more viable for a serialization.

And most anime still somehow miss the trick Kekkai Sensen got down like a decade ago. Save your dances for an ED where it can serve as bookend relief. Always ten times more effective and memorable that way imo, like Lost in Paradise.
They don't care if the dance is memorable, they just want it to go tiktok viral and make their show more popular.

The 2nd op for it's time for torture explains their entire mindset around dancing op.


That kekkai sensen ed was probably more popular than the show itself. No one went to watch the actual show like it did for mashle.

The problem is that this isn't what casual fans want and casual fans make up the majority of a fanbase. When One Piece anime adapted the cover stories, they supposedly ranked terribly in terms of viewers because people wanted Luffy. Apparently its common for most manga (except I guess Nue LOL).
Also in jjk because a lot of people are big fans of the side characters. Culling game hardly has any yuji and the manga still ranked very high (similar to whatever yuji chapters). Yuji is side character in his own manga regardless of what people cope for. Even the author admitted that the good thing about jjk is the fact that people not too attached to the mc

Honestly, I don't think that's very uncommon in most shonen. One Piece is just a major outlier with its MC coming in first place every poll (Gintoki in Gintama being the other IIRC). Zoro feels like a character who'd usually top popularity polls if he was in a different series so the fact that he's always second really speaks to how charismatic Luffy is

I feel like a lot of people are hating chihiro not being around

Unlike Jujutsu Kaisen, Kagurabachi doesn't have supporting characters who overshadow the protagonist.

There is no Gojo swooping in to steal the spotlight, nor a Bakugo who eclipses Deku.

It is a story that rests entirely on Chihiro, even though the author is attempting to expand the narrative into new territory.

The axe itself makes sense, it ranked terrible for a long time while selling 10k/11k, what doesn't make sense it's axing it while a anime was already decided lol
They should have believed in the long term potential 😭

Today is the day of truth! This night i will be either very happy or be cursing Saito's entire family tree!

My predictions:

Issue #47

-Nue's Exorcist will have the cover & lead color pages to celebrate the anime adaptation announcement on Jump Press!

-Color Pages: Roku's House of Oddities for popularity & maybe reprint, Me & Roboco for reaching 300 chapters & vol release and the 3rd GFC one shot

Issue #46

-Top 5: One Piece, Ichi the Witch, Sakamoto Days, Akane-banashi and Roku's House of Oddities

-Bottom 5: Cannon Master, Hal Formula, Class 2B Hero Destroyerz, Kagurabachi and Animal Signal

So I guess there was a restock on October 5th for Hal Formula and Animal Signal to rise back up to the top 50?

No, is just that in the first 3 days not all stores get the volume releases shipped to them, so from the 4th day is when all the other stores gets the volumes, this is why there's always a big rise every month in the 4th day.

Thanks Shinuki. I am that desperate for Hal Formula to stay. However, I keep going back and forth about Animal Signal mainly due to getting the kids vote and how it is more comedy/gag. So I have to compare it to its fellow comedy titles. Mainly Roboco, Roku, and Class 2-B.

To me issue 47th is as follows:

Nue's Exorcist anime announcement with cover and lead color page.

Color pages for Roku and Roboco, alongside the fourth GFC entry oneshot.

I just realized that tonight will be the night that we get word on who the remaining participants in this year's GFC & how many there are.
I'm gonna guess that there's gonna be 6 of them in total.
