About battle manga: pretty sure Graykeith is one and Gondaira's series will likely be battle as well.

Graykeith's first chapter climax is a battle scene, most cases involve battles and we're gearing up for an action arc now.
Yozakura Family was only a comedy series for 20~30 chapters, after that it's a battle manga.
Yozakura was always a mixed of battle and comedy, it has action/fights from the start.

What about the Kagurabachi ToC placement? Do you guys think it is still a late submission problem?
It's a reception problem—literary quality colliding with a hyper-competitive environment. A significant portion of other Jump manga are experiencing incredibly enjoyable highs that the current Kagurabachi arc is simply failing to resonate with or compete against them.

Maybe that is the reason behind the sudden and sharp drop on sales.

2026 debuts

Battle - Under Doctor, Kinato's Magic, Alien Headbutt, Class 2B, Cannon Master, Graykeith Translator Daemonica + probably Hizuki from Ginza
Comedy - Roku's House of Oddities, Class 2B, Animal Signal, Jean
Sports - Drawn of the Fire, Hal Formula
Romance - Ura Files + Tennis Club girl

Battle manga: 6, likely 7
Comedy: 4
Sports: 2
Romance: Likely 2

I don't really agree that they're not trying new battle series. The readers just have to like them.

Yozakura was always a mixed of battle and comedy, it has action/fights from the start.
I agree, mentioned it just in case Stivie someone comes in saying it's "not a serious battle manga".

Pretty good art.

Hope it's a classic harem romcom with multiple romance options, Ura and Animal Signal won't go there, so he has the field open for himself and he has both good art and variety in designs.

Gondaira series will be the typical mix of comedy with action from day one, even Poro-kun eventually became action too, no way he will return with just a comedy series.

Why do you think they didn’t go for 4 new series? Is there a lack of quality series ready to go? It just seems weird to either have it be just WW + SD + open slot meaning cannon master keeps going or WW + SD + CM and just having an open spot.

But I have to ask the question, what type of series is it and will it start off on the right foot? I say that because I have read almost all of Yozakura (the only thing I missed were the early chapters where it was after chapter three and it was up to when Nanao needed his medicine along with finding his classmates snake). I believe Yozakura did start off on the right foot because when comparing it to his prior work Poro Gondaira does have an interest in romance but it is utilized ten fold with the establishment of the characters relationship and romance to help lead to found family and having a great use from an ensemble of characters in Mutsumi’s siblings.

With Poro, it’s fine. However I think Gondaira was still not in a favorable position at the time due to being in the batch of 6 and experimenting and exploring as he went wasn’t a luxury he was afforded. The character work is still fun in it with how Gondaira writes but I still think the race variation regarding the demons, angels, and humans needed its differences so that it could have helped further Poro’s cause to want to reform the demon world for the better. Even more of the exploration and whimsy of Gondaira giving Poro going to the human world in a “The Nightmare Before Christmas” feeling when Jack Skelington discovers Christmas Town. Or even in Hazbeen Hotel where it had a commentary regarding heaven and hell.
