Kurogane in the top five!!! As long as the author can keep this momentum up I don't see it tanking considering it has steadily increased in rank as it's progressed. And Nisekoi is fantastic!! I didn't notice that it was it's first ranking till halfway through the comments.

Hunter x Hunter not going on hiatus is great news for the fans bad news for the bottom five. Means two to three of them will be going in a few weeks.

Good for nisekoi, here's hoping that it stays high it's a refreshing series.
another great sket dance chapter for it to rank so high
kagami is low...again? I don't think it'll be long but we'll see..

I've been saying this for almost every week but..

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2011] - Discussion and TOC Talk - Part 2

Why are people saying that Nisekoi is now ranked? The chapter for this issue should be chapter 8, and according to this:

- For the 2nd-8th chapters, TOC is already decided, though it could change depends on readers' ranking.
- The TOC is affected by the popularity of 8 chapter ago.

from the first post in this thread, chapter 8 would not be a ranked chapter. It shouldn't be ranked until next issue, which is of course a color page, meaning we won't see how it's actually ranked until chapter 10.

It's often debated whether it's 7 or 8 chapters. In my opinion, the first ranked chapter is Chapter 8 (this is where most series sink to rock bottom, and popular new series always get a celebratory color page for Chapter 9), so the TOC is affected by 7 chapters ago. People usually get confused by the math (8-1=7).

As happy as I am that HXH isn't going on hiatus, didn't the last time it run it went to chapter 311? So in that regard wouldn't 331 be the place this stretch of chapters goes?

I'd really love to believe that Togashi is returning to a semi-normal schedule, but the lack of announced tanks and the fact that this (awesome) arc seems to be wrapping up seems to suggest that a hiatus is on the way. At least I hope with the anime on air, Togashi feels more inclined to not disappear for nearly two years.

Nice to see Sket and Gintama doing really well though. I probably will never read Nisekoi because of my hatred of romance manga, but I always enjoy seeing a returning artist hit their stride the second time around. Hopefully it outlasts Double Arts.

Last time, it was serialized from chapter 291 to 310. A chapter 311 is where Togashi resumed in this year.

Oh okay. So then I guess we're in the clear for at least a few more weeks. I figure he wants to wrap up this arc and then go on hiatus. Good for us, but I hope he returns soon.

Chapter 330 will be the last of volume 31 so there will be at least ten more chapters. Chapters 331 - 340 will be volume 32.

Oh sweet. 10 more weeks of Hunter? Can't ask for more than that. Oh well I guess we could ask for normal weekly releases, but this IS Togashi we're talking about.

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2011] - Discussion and TOC Talk - Part 2

Thirty chapters in a row is quite the treat, any more and I'd feel spoiled.

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2011] - Discussion and TOC Talk - Part 2

Sure but other WSJ authors do around 50 weeks or so, give or take.

Nah, I'm just being an ass. I know what you mean. I do wonder how this will affect cuts though? Cause no one figured Togashi would actually keep the ball rolling this time around. I really hope that he's going to do a new thing where he does whole arcs before going on hiatus. I could tolerate that a bit more than being left hanging in the middle of an arc for a year. I loved the ants arc, but the hiatuses were a strain.

That means another series will be axed along with St&rs. So far, I think the next candidates are Magico and Kagami.

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2011] - Discussion and TOC Talk - Part 2

I'm purchasing all of those new Jump Comics. I didn't intent to buy ST&RS #2 but I just couldn't say no to that cover

I also think that 3 of the current series will be cancelled with 3 new series coming in. These are my predictions:
Issue #9 - ST&RS
Issue #10 - Magico or Harisugawa (Leaning towards Magico)
Issue #11 - Nurarihyon no Mago

Even with Mago's high sales I still think it will be cancelled. Series that have sold better have still been cancelled like Busou Renkin, Shaman King, Jigoku Sensei Nube, Saint Seiya and Kimagure Orange Road. Aditionally, with the way it has been ranking over a year without making it into the top 10 of the TOC, not having a Lead CP since mid-2010 coupled with the Anime now over and the Author becoming a father, I just can't see it going on any longer.

As a fan of Mago, I do hope I am wrong.

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2011] - Discussion and TOC Talk - Part 2

I know where you're getting from. I also like the covers form ST&RS 1 and 2 to such great extent! Also, I, too, am a Mago fan, though I feel like it's becoming, or rather, becoming unbecoming, if you know what I mean.

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2011] - Discussion and TOC Talk - Part 2

Sparkles, Sparkles everywhere! Besides Kagami and Otter11, all of the new Jan tanks are so colorful xD

hum, i don't meant to be an ass but i honestly prefer HxH continuing to seeing a series being 'saved' from the cut

People usually get confused by the math (8-1=7).

Ah. So in other words there's room for debate, and instead of erring on the side of caution, some people are choosing to err on the side of possibly premature celebration.

Seeing as we've got cases like Sengoku Armors where it was doing well in the mid range at chapter 8, and tanked at chapter 9, or ST&RS, where it got a color page at chapters 7 and 11, and proceeded to tank very hard at 12, I think I'll err on the side of caution and assume Nisekoi is not ranked yet.
