Under Doctor continues to have the most unpredictable trajectory. Glad to see Hal Formula rising a bit too even if it's because of Kagurabachi in dead last. I hope it can survive a round or two.

I read this week's oneshot, The Young Witch and her Tutor. I didn't like this one much either, the majority of the chapter was just exposition about how magic works then a really quick fight at the end. I'd say it was better than Banchoism but not by much.

Kagurabachi chapter has 15 pages like the (new) standard, art also seems to be just fine.

Isn't really a secret that the current Flashback arc isn't getting the most positive reactions out there on JP Forums, specially for not having Chihiro, so while obviously a last place isn't a reflection of the actual number of votes is getting, at this point the is a mix of actual reception for the arc and messy schedule/delivery of the chapter.

I don't even know if with the new anime coming, Kagurabachi would have better placements, since Hokazono is having problems with his schedule.

Well then, feels safe to say it’ll just be Hal and Cannon Master getting axed next round?

Okay what the hell?

Sure I'm happy for Under Doctor, in wait for Graykeith but
KGB last??!
Actually it's not that surprising with the poor health & schedule + this arc being less popular in Japan (I can't really see why though, except the thing about Chihiro not being there, but heh...)
I just wish Hokazono could have a bigger hiatus.

Anyway, except that, interesting ToC! SakaDays will probably end in the 2-3 next issues, with Cannon Master and then new series. Wondering if OP will have a cover in Issue #50 or in Issue #1.
And again, very happy for Under Doctor!! We might have many series surviving from 2026! With Roku, Animal Signal (I'm fine with that too) & Ura. (Hoping for Graykeith too.)

Guessing all the tank covers are gonna be the head and upper torso. Would have preferred a group volume cover of them in the outfits they wore during their outting/quiz contest(maybe they want to save that visual punch for non-magazine readers).
I am not vibing with the volume covers for roku :noworry.


Edit:Ah right they did some similar mockup covers in chapter 4

Kagurabachi not getting any sort of celebration in the magazine for a 3rd anniversary would be pretty unprecedented, at least since 2000, Jump always celebrate it even if just a normal color page, but for not do anything? That's crazy, just give it a "color page" for anniversary and publish the illustration revealed lol
Last issue had this, right?



I guess that's how the wrap the anniversary and to move to next year

Shinuki, we know you were never the biggest fan of Kagurabachi, but we can't know for sure that this arc isn't being accepted by the Japanese audience, and besides, being in last place is very unfair.

They can delay the birthday, it already happened with Yozakura.

+8 issues is already too late. If there isn't any anniversary cover on issue 50, there won't be.

Under Doctor sells what, around 1/15 of Kagurabachi? Saito's TOCs will always be Saito TOCs after all.

It's weird to see Bachi getting the Nue treatment of getting an anniversary cover skipped and bottom placement, but let's keep doing our best as Nakano series fighting against Saito's oppression.
