Klaida: May I remind you all that Saito has never made a good decision, old manga fans don’t deserve to experience joy, battle manga deserve no rights because there’s always too many, and also fuck Saito all over again for everything else he’s doing while I’m here.
I need Weekly Shonen Jump to get 70 year old Eguchi to release a 40 years later sequel of Stop Hibari-kun, so I can hypocritically celebrate...

Sometimes I sit back and catch up on this thread, I realise that we're all just playing caricatures of ourselves and I can predict what most people will say on any given thing. it's actually really funny. It's basically:

Nuesmoker: Guys, the latest Nue’s Exorcist chapter was 13/10!!! Possibly greatest piece of fiction of all time??? Also, there’s a bullet point list of other things I remembered to read, I guess.

Kiaida: May I remind you all that Saito has never made a good decision, old manga fans don’t deserve to experience joy, battle manga deserve no rights because there’s always too many, and also fuck Saito all over again for everything else he’s doing while I’m here.

Dongus: Guys… have we considered the need for more big breasted women?

Stivie: The concept of a comedy sickens me. I have NEVER once laughed and you’re all weird for allowing comedies to exist.

RealityChecker: Here is an analysis that is in fact not based in reality.

pennycryman: (Latest sales charts and useful sales estimates)

Tirakai: Stop! Posting! Spoilers! Also, I read this issue’s one-shot in Japanese and it was bad.

Shinuki no Reborn: Guys, I didn’t spoil anything. Yes, I was hyping up this leak as something that will change everything about this series and what we can expect, but didn’t you see the spoiler box? It's not that serious xD Anyway, here’s a breakdown of the latest sales which Shoseki monthly will override in a few weeks. Let’s get to 1,000 pages!

Sharkbait: 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.

monsterera11: Weekly Shonen Jump has to be gayer!!!

JBC008: [3,000 word thesis]

defensor_de_boruto: I’m going to put all my stakes on this new series that will inevitably cancelled in a few months!

ItsSamu: So naturally this Akane-banashi chapter was obviously the best thing of the week but let me list out how every other series did their best and failed to keep up. Anyway, here’s the latest Jump series from 1984 that I’ve been reading.

Wookitake: I actually love Akane-banashi more than ItsSamu but no one believes me :(

Franz: What’s the Bleach Hell arc??

LogicoftheVI: So here’s why Jump is kind of ass

kiyoshibro: THIS CHAPTER OF KIYOSHI WAS SO GOOD

Thehoennhippo: Someone else here has to show some love for The Ultimate Exorcist too. Yes, we exist.

Mankichi Togawa: Where is the latest Akane-banashi colour page? :(

Newkerzy: (Asks a sincere question during an argument)

WyldViolet: (Engages in an actual debate about a given topic rather than shitposting)

Phantom RPG: So here’s a breakdown of every one-shot from the latest GIGA issue and how likely they’ll become serialised in the next 3-15 years.

iker_03: (Post-mortem for a long-running series that just ended)

Mammo: Here I am to post the profiles of new mangaka that are getting serialised this round before disappearing for 8-12 weeks again.

That one Ichi the Witch hater: Here’s how Ichi the Witch is going to get cancelled, actually.

That one RuriDragon hater: Jump doesn’t advertise RuriDragon anymore, they might as well cancel it.

All in good fun x
My part is pretty flattering so I'll take the opportunity to share my google folder with all my charts.

Yeah, should have figured I won't be there. Oh well. Not like I've done much activity to give some kind of voice for myself.

Roku gives more importance to comedy than to the main plot, and it's no use justifying that with the fact that it's a comedy, because there are many comedies that don't need to ignore the main plot to be funny.
Roku is actually moving the plot forward while coninuing to do the comedy. It's not like you are describing, it is funny and moving the main plot along simultaniously.
Your comment is being obstuse on purpose. I was referring to how most of their recent new series for the past 1 year not hold candle to the ones that recently ended. A lot of their new series are failures.
I don't know what obstuse is but no I was not being obtuse for any reason. You did not state you were referring to "new" series. You made a very blanket statement about how jump can't replace their hits. A lot are failures, but when you look at Jump's track record the numbers are pretty consistent.
Since 2019 this year has actually fared better than any other in the last 8 years.
2018: 3-4 Failed series
2019: 8-9 Failed series
2020: 8 Failed series
2021: 8 Failed series
2022: 7-8 Failed series
2023: 8 Failed series
2024: 8+Failed series
2025: 9 Failed series
2026: Even if Cannon Master, Hal Formula, Animal Singnal, and Class 2-B (all 4 of these will likely last well past chapter 20) were to be cancelled today we have 7 failed series in 2026. 2026 is actually looking like their best year in nearly a decade (especially if 1 or 2 out of this next batch can stick around).

2026 might actually have more "hits" than any other year in recent memory with Roku, Under Doctor, Ura, and GreyKeith (also Hal, AS, and the 3 new series still being capable of adding to the list).

Did you do any research before posting or you just went off of vibes?
Graykeith will be the next big thing.
I really hope so, this manga has been so good so far.
Dunno about that, hits usually have explosive popularity in some respect at the start. Even JJK and Demon slayer had that. Graykeith will probably do good, but how good remains to be seen
JJK and KnY both have COVID lockdowns to thank for their explosion in popularity. They lived in an environment that newer series just won't have the benefit of. I wouldn't say GreyKeith can't be a hit, but we probably never see anything like JJK and KnY surge in popularity again.
LogicoftheVI: So here’s why Jump is kind of ass
Am I really that obvious? Nah, I don't think Jump is ass, I am a relic of a bygone era.....lmao.
That being said I am currently reading 14/19 manga in jump and that number will rise by 3 in the next few weeks, so long as Cannon Master sticks around. I would say I enjoy and look forward to about half of what I am reading in the Magazine right now.

I’m in the same boat for 2026 to be an awesome year. Unfortunately, I know the reality is that even if the new batch might do well, it could come at the cost if others that are doing okay might not make it. However, unlike 2020 which gave certain series more room to breathe, this luxury will not be guaranteed as the 8 series from 2025 to before are already established, and I believe that we can only keep no more than 5 titles from 2026 out of the 11 this year going into 2027. 2 less from the 13 from 2020.

I could see Keith being one of those manga that end up being "Tumblr favorites" before their anime makes em much bigger, like how Dungeon Meshi and Witch Hat Atelier were
I'm not sure if Graykeith becoming popular with the Tumblr crowd would be a blessing or a curse lul

That shit is still a thing? Figured it went the way of myspace.
Some communities, specially on the shoujo, josei and BL side, still use Tumblr and Blogspot to deliver translations and and discuss their favorite series and characters.

Not surprised that I didn’t make the list since I spend most of my time these days either lowkey trying to mediate/calm arguments (which from an objective standpoint is boring) or making not super mindblowing predictions/rankings haha. Is that a good thing? Hard to say.

This was comedy gold though, kudos to you.

Damn, I mean, true, but damn. But seriously, I hope it's not annoying that I do that and the research.

But i do admit i do not do much for the sake of discussions here and there; I used to be a bit more active, but given I have been doing writing projects(With a potential big one coming my way sometime next year). Maybe when i can calm my thoughts properly imight be able to come up with something else to talk about.

The English version carries over the Jan Is In Danger! title.
Is it bad that I'm kinda interested? I mean, it looks like Tintin, to be honest, and I have a fondness for French comics like that one and Asterix growing up. If you've never read either, please do; they are fun reads.

Is it just me, but has anyone considered whether Shueisha or any of the big magazines in Japan would ever attempt something akin to Ocean's Eleven? I have been binge-watching the series lately, and it never gets old for me.

Genuinely you provide a really valuable resource to the thread. I got in a bit of a research mood after all the talk about lack of newbies last week and going through your Giga posts was a great help.

Jan is in Danger, i know this will not be everybody's cup of tea becaue "muh gag" but i thought it was funny, it looks like a western cartoon, european one, not a manga, also funny enough the whole concept almost feels like made to avoid the "Jan is in danger of axe" eventual joke since he's pretty much invincible to anything, even getting hit directly by a missile lmao!

Anyway, personally i thought it was a cool 1st chapter, i didn't laugh until start crying or anything but it's a interesting concept and artstyle, hope people enjoy too 🙏

Sometimes I sit back and catch up on this thread, I realise that we're all just playing caricatures of ourselves and I can predict what most people will say on any given thing. it's actually really funny. It's basically:

Nuesmoker: Guys, the latest Nue’s Exorcist chapter was 13/10!!! Possibly greatest piece of fiction of all time??? Also, there’s a bullet point list of other things I remembered to read, I guess.

Kiaida: May I remind you all that Saito has never made a good decision, old manga fans don’t deserve to experience joy, battle manga deserve no rights because there’s always too many, and also fuck Saito all over again for everything else he’s doing while I’m here.

Dongus: Guys… have we considered the need for more big breasted women?

Stivie: The concept of a comedy sickens me. I have NEVER once laughed and you’re all weird for allowing comedies to exist.

RealityChecker: Here is an analysis that is in fact not based in reality.

pennycryman: (Latest sales charts and useful sales estimates)

Tirakai: Stop! Posting! Spoilers! Also, I read this issue’s one-shot in Japanese and it was bad.

Shinuki no Reborn: Guys, I didn’t spoil anything. Yes, I was hyping up this leak as something that will change everything about this series and what we can expect, but didn’t you see the spoiler box? It's not that serious xD Anyway, here’s a breakdown of the latest sales which Shoseki monthly will override in a few weeks. Let’s get to 1,000 pages!

Sharkbait: 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.

monsterera11: Weekly Shonen Jump has to be gayer!!!

JBC008: [3,000 word thesis]

defensor_de_boruto: I’m going to put all my stakes on this new series that will inevitably cancelled in a few months!

ItsSamu: So naturally this Akane-banashi chapter was obviously the best thing of the week but let me list out how every other series did their best and failed to keep up. Anyway, here’s the latest Jump series from 1984 that I’ve been reading.

Wookitake: I actually love Akane-banashi more than ItsSamu but no one believes me :(

Franz: What’s the Bleach Hell arc??

LogicoftheVI: So here’s why Jump is kind of ass

kiyoshibro: THIS CHAPTER OF KIYOSHI WAS SO GOOD

Thehoennhippo: Someone else here has to show some love for The Ultimate Exorcist too. Yes, we exist.

Mankichi Togawa: Where is the latest Akane-banashi colour page? :(

Newkerzy: (Asks a sincere question during an argument)

WyldViolet: (Engages in an actual debate about a given topic rather than shitposting)

Phantom RPG: So here’s a breakdown of every one-shot from the latest GIGA issue and how likely they’ll become serialised in the next 3-15 years.

iker_03: (Post-mortem for a long-running series that just ended)

Mammo: Here I am to post the profiles of new mangaka that are getting serialised this round before disappearing for 8-12 weeks again.

That one Ichi the Witch hater: Here’s how Ichi the Witch is going to get cancelled, actually.

That one RuriDragon hater: Jump doesn’t advertise RuriDragon anymore, they might as well cancel it.

All in good fun x
damn, I'm forgotten already

Cannon Master still not having a climax message or something that directly indicates is ending but in terms of content it honestly feels like it's about to end next week alongside Sakamoto Days, unless it's not actually ending lol
