Ultra Jump's TOC actually received a fairly substantial shake-up from start to finish during 2019. Although I'm not too familiar with many of the series that call Ultra Jump home, I will continue to follow the magazine as long as Dasei 67 Percent and Usagi-moku Shachiku-ka reside within those pages. During the 2019 publication time period, Ultra Jump started 8 brand new series, and in addition to these new series, 2 other series also transferred into the magazine from Weekly Young Magazine; Black Night Parade and Bokura wa Mahou Shonen. Interestingly, both of these series were either monthly or irregular releases, so hopefully they'll be able to find some consistency in release in Ultra Jump. On the other hand, only 6 series concluded during 2019, and most of them were older series.
Although Ultra Jump has a monthly release schedule, there were only 3 series that managed to obtain perfect attendance: Dasei 67 Percent, No Guns Life, and Usagi-moku Shachiku-ka. Lucky for me, my two loves are good and keeping their appearances constant, frequent, and hilarious! As for the series with the most color pages for 2019, there was a tie between Mononogatari and Katabami to Ougon with 3 color pages each. The color page distribution was fairly even throughout the magazine, with 10 other series receiving two color pages during the year.
With so many new series having started in the mid-to-later half of 2019 and so many older series having recently concluded, I don't think we'll have quite as many new series start up during 2020. However, I suppose it is entirely possible that at least some of the new series might not work out, which would prompt a new round of series to come about. It'll be pretty interesting to see what the future has in store for Ultra Jump, hopefully some anime adaptations. Jojo seems as popular as ever, and the World's End Harem spin-off seems to be doing well, so the magazine seems to have that going for it as well. Hopefully this coming year will be another interesting one for Ultra Jump as a whole.
