Jeez, much of the fame of My Hero was based on its being the new Naruto, so ....
At the beginning, in the west, maybe, because of that meme. Anyway, do you think a battle manga that sells well and is part of Japan's biggest magazine was not going to get attention sooner or later?

These also look pretty good. A lot of yours are on the shorter side, which is more realistic.
.
Realistic ?

But do not you think you're exaggerating?

So you think it will last only another year?

For me, at least 300 chapters arrive.
Realistic ?
If this is the maximum push the anime can do for it, I don't see it lasting much. It'll be around the same lifespan of Beelzebub.
But of course, so much can happen in a year's time.

Jeez, much of the fame of My Hero was based on its being the new Naruto, so ....
What are you talking about? Just because you see meme's or posts in the west doesn't mean that applies in Japan. Show me an instance from Japan or japanese sites that suggests MHA's fame was majorly based on being the new Naruto. I'll wait for you to provide such data for a couple of days. If you cannot, then you're just speaking from your own mindset and opinion and not based on actual facts.

I am the only one who think robot x laserbeam won’t last that long.

Sales wise kuroko was increasing every volume up until volume 18 on a steady upward trend (pre anime)
Robot is stagnant already at vol 3. I will wait for vol 4 to confirm my speculation.

Content wise robot isn’t fun to read. Author is sleeping on his glory and not trying anything new. Similar to marie, same formula diff manga.

Ranking or toc isn’t doing so hot either
I am with you on that tho, it really seems the story is already entering its"Winter Cup" arc already

It's very possible that Robo could die early, within 10 volumes even. But it can also stick around for 20 volumes or longer. Fujo powers must not be underestimated. The author might also try to wrap it up quickly since it seems to be a pain to do a manga about golf because of how the sport requires a lot of heavy research.
Fujo powers seemed to have run its course tho, since Robo has been stucked in the bottom 5 for months now and even decent sales wont save it, just ask other mangas in the same situation. I give it 10-11 volumes

I'm sure that the current arc only would surpass these numbers let alone the series it self.
I like to experience HxH by reading the volumes so I haven't read the recent chapters. I heard developments are rather slow but I don't see the series going past like mid 40's. I think that's a bit too much especially since the main cast have already accomplished her goals or are damn near close.

It's one of the most boring manga currently in the magazine. You'd think Golf with super powers should be interesting, but it isn't. And with the progress of the story it could end in 2 arcs.
It is actually not that bad, I really appreciate the manga, otherwise I would have dropped by now. I think what keeps me on the reading is because I think it is interesting to learn a thing or two about other sports I don't know that much and the superpowers actually make it more interesting. XD

One thing worried me about "We Never Learn" two latest chapters: excess of ecchi.
Taishi Tsuitsui has history with heavily ecchi-filler manga with the Nisekoi spin-off he drew and we don't need a second heavy ecchi series in the magazine, I gave 7th out 8 positions in my ranking for the ESJ poll and in two chapters in a row and I hope Japanese readers do the same to keep him at bay. I don't want the series to get bad rankings, but I think it would for its own good.

What is the exact panel for those that were reading by alternative methods?

You guys are rambling about random stuff so might as well add something random: Kubo was at an Italian comics spot called "Lucci Comics & Games" in 2017 and drew some characters there and recently shared them on his twitter last month:

Rukia

Orihimie

Uryu

Renji

Toshiro

Rangiku

Kenpachi

Mayuri

Gin

Aizen

Ulquiorra

Grimmjow

Let's play a game where we estimate/guess how many volumes in total the established on-going series from WSJ will have when they end.

Black Clover - 25-30
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations - 12-15
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - 25-30
The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. - 27-30
Dr. Stone - 25-30
Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma - 35
Gintama 75-78
Haikyu!! - 37-40
Hinomaru Zumō - 25-30
Hunter × Hunter - 50
My Hero Academia - 35-38
One Piece - 100+
The Promised Neverland 18-20
Robot x LaserBeam - 25-28
Spring Weapon Number One - 6-8
Tomatoypoo no Lycopene 10
World Trigger - RIP???
We Never Learn - 18-23
Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs 18-23

It would help if I were up to date with some things, it would help a lot. But looking at previous successful manga from WSJ, I think this is about right. I don't think WSJ will allow manga go any further than 40 volumes any longer, unless it's absolutely necessary to finish the story.
Series that I activly read
Dr. Stone - 12 possible 20
Black Clover - 30 possible 50
MHA - 30 possible 40
RxL - 20 possible 25
WNL - strong 20
---------Others I don't read actively---------
To Promise Neverland - strong 20
Yunaa and the Haunted Hot Springs - Strong 20
Kimetsu no Yaiba - 25 possible 30
Shokugeki no Soma - strong 40
Haikyuu - strong 40
World Trigger - possible indefinite hiatus or moved to monthly scheduled/magazine (if author is able to return to publication)
Hunter x Hunter - possible 100 maybe 150
Hinumaru Zumo - strong 25

No new info about Yuuna anime in this Jump, just an interview with Yuuna's VA Miyuri Shimabukuro. They're promoting her quite a bit more than other VAs from past WSJ anime it seems.
Also there's gravure cosplay of Fumino (WNL) and Yuuna.
Probably won't get too much new info until AnimeJapan on March 24th. It has a stage there along with Golden Kamuy, MHA and Captain Tsubasa (2018), which will feature all announced VAs "and more".

If I'm not mistaken, Kubo did not go there and because of that he drew this. I could be wrong but I remember reading about it.

It´s for all volumes, obviously includes the one that was sold on those dates (Only Black Clover does not release volumen on those dates; almost all are sales of old volumes)

It is currently at volume 15. So you think it will last three more volumes?

And how do you say that is the maximum that can reach?

.

The manga has been pushed so far by the end of Naruto, and undoubtedly repeats many of the aspects of the plot.

If Naruto had never existed, would it have been anyway? Probable but it would have been very different.

You're totally right. He couldn't make it to "Lucca comics" and drew these sketches as a way to make up for it somehow.

Considering the working rhythms of the author, it seems to me a bit too much.

Soma from my point of view will not arrive at 40.
