Yeah besides Slam Dunk it's not something that happens. And regardless of how anyone on this thread feels about Naruto, I still believe it should've had the cover for it's final chapter. I'm actually surprised it didn't, if I remember correctly even Eiichiro Oda thought it should have. The only ongoing successful series in WSJ that I could see possibly getting the cover on it's last chapter is One Piece (if it ever ends).

It has something to do with profit.
If the series end, it won't be useful to promote it since it won't bring any new readers to the magazine.
Maybe because of several reasons (out of respect) some series may get the cover as Slam Dunk did, but I don't think it'll happen for any other than One Piece or Kochikame, since Shueisha is there to make money, not to please readers that like something that immediately is going to stop being profitable for the magazine (tank sales apart, of course)

Isnt that too sudden?

Spoiler

thats like
1 chapter for the laser
1 chapter for class 3e assassination attempt(?)
1 for graduation & epilogue?

It has something to do with profit.
If the series end, it won't be useful to promote it since it won't bring any new readers to the magazine.
Maybe because of several reasons (out of respect) some series may get the cover as Slam Dunk did, but I don't think it'll happen for any other than One Piece or Kochikame, since Shueisha is there to make money, not to please readers that like something that immediately is going to stop being profitable for the magazine (tank sales apart, of course)

I really don't think that is a reason. There must be something else in it. Sure, Naruto didn't get a cover but it got 2 chapters in the issue and one being a full color chapter. There can't be any more promotion than that for a series in an issue. Heck, the other chapter even got Lead Color.
There is definitely something else to it.

Guess this is it then for Assassination Classroom, the end is very close: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/new...nga-approaches-climax-of-final-mission/.98545

It's completelly off topic but I thought I should share this with you:

Explanation: I was having a hard time translating Smokin' Parade chapter's 5 name and the author HIMSELF explained to me!

How fucking epic is this?

 

[saef1234]

is assassination classroom getting the cover AND ending next issue? If so, I'm surprised that wasn't the case with naruto

its not ending that soon.

 

[saef1234]

its not ending that soon.

I don't know, there's an article on ANN that highly suggests it's ending next chapter

 

[yonkouproductions]

I don't know, there's an article on ANN that highly suggests it's ending next chapter

Most likely the announcement of the number of chapters left before it ends. They need to promote AC as much as possible given the new movie coming out soon plus the airing anime at the moment.

 

[DestyNova4th]

About the end of Assassination Classroom, I quote myself:

Ansatsu Kyoushitsu ends in the Jump of Monday March 14, because...

Spoiler

...Koro-sensei explode in March 13, so the final chapter is the epilogue the day after xD

Matsui genius.

Just read the first chapter of Kimetsu no Yaiba on esj

I enjoyed it, for a battle shonen manga with weird art & generic name, I found to be pretty good

I like the mc, he actually uses his brain for a change
the rival Giyu is Sasuke v.2 but way more redeemable
the little sister completely steals the show tho

what's wrong with the forums? who shot Jigglypuff?

change your theme from Cupid to ultraviolet ^_^

The new manga, Kimetsu no Yaiba is really dull and so much stuff happens to fast (sister plot ought to have happened like 50+ chapters from now, not chp 1).

For a demon sword story I expected better. This series will be dead.

 

[Mammo]

I think the manga should have started with Tanjiro already a demons slayer, then goes to flashback & shows what happened to his family when someone ask the mc why did he chooses to become a DS, but whatever.... I don't mind what we got

thanks for the tip mate, my eyes are not tortured anymore
