Anyone got spoilers on the first chapter of Tanaka Seiji? Was it to different from the one-shot?

Last week's chapter literally ended with "NEXT WEEK: THE CONCLUSION."

wasn't that talking about the game they're currently playing (or at least vague enough to be insinuated as such). Viz cuts that stuff out so I had to go find fanscans, and I would take that as talking about the match not the series.

Now I'm confused. Is it going to survive, or is going to be axed by consecutive volumes?

From the sounds of it and with its color page i don't think its getting axed.

 

[XtrnlArdent]

That only means that the current arc is ending no?

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Jujutsu last scanlated chapter: chapter 12. Jujutsu last raw chapter: chapter 16.
Noah's Notes last scanlated chapter: chapter 6. last raw chapter: chapter 15.
Act-tage last scanlated chapter: chapter 7. Last raw chapter: chapter 22.

Well, seems Act-tage Edited Mangas are starting to ride well, so let's go.

I think it's celebrating the end of the arc by releasing two consecutive volumes. That's how I see it.

The thing with Act-age is weird. It's not even three volumes long yet, but it's releasing vol 3 straight after 2? It'll barely have even reached it's 3 volume chapter quota before the volume releases. That means there'll be a sizeable gap between 3 and 4, hence why consecutive releases are generally only done when a series ends, or there are a significant amount of chapters not bound up in volumes yet (like HQ these next few months. Other series like HZ have done the same in the past I believe too). There's really no reason for it. Kinda makes me believe they had the series set to be cancelled, but decided to keep it at the last moment, and they'd already sorted out the volume release dates (although stuff is still delayed all the time, so idk), so they're passing it off as promotion.

Then:
-Next week: Assasination Classroom mangaka
-This week: Kishimoto
-Last week: Kubo
-Week before that: Togashi
-Week before week before that Death Note mangakas (still, there is nothing about their interview like Kishimoto, Togashi, and Kubo ones)
-Supposedly there was another one, but no info anywhere (Akimoto?)

RobotxLaserbeam should get a sequel in Jump+

 

[Tamil]

Popular series that were cancelled not getting announcements is exactly my point though.
Original reason I made this post was because recently a user remarked that Shokugeki couldn't end because there was no announcement.
Now while Shokugeki hasn't ended, the recent developments certainly seem like the developments of a soon to be cancelled manga. If it were to end it would not get an announcement.
Sorry if my logic is convoluted, my head is cluttered right now.

I would've said that but I feel like they may do another saga regarding BLUE. This arc is filler and stupid. The mangaka/editors impress me with how bad this is.

It's sad RxL got axed when it should've been SnS. The franchise for food wars has been declining for a while now, whereas RxL had potential. I feel like it'll get axed when these new series do well with their anime release (TPN/KnY) and then Jump will realize that they don't really need SnS.

Someone (sorry I forget who) posted a few pages back an author comment from Fujimaki from near when it started that was something about how tough making a golf manga was (something along those lines) so for all we know he was offered to be moved to Jump+ but decided he'd rather end it and do something new.

That might be a possibility, but I think they're releasing the two volumes consecutively to create some hype? I assume the two volumes contain the entire Death Island arc and maybe they'll center the promotion on that aspect, this might be WSJ trying out some new promotional methods. If it gets axed I'll be very confused about this whole scenario.

Act-Age be like a phoenix, he rised from the ashes beautifully and was reborn!
But man seriously so happy with Act-Age getting some love in Japan, now just hope that it will last longer than Sesuji or Samon

What's so good about it? I'm thinking of checking it out.

I'm following it just to see it through the end at this point but this arc is more of a "cooldown", connecting arc, though the actual plot points being brought up are not good indications of whats to come. If my prediction comes true, we may have another long arc with another long round of shokugekis to show off the new elite 10. However at this point, I think the damage has been done. They should aim to stay at their current state because they risk a further drop in sales.

Robo had stagnated but I do think it could have done well in anime form. The problem was the slow pacing. That really took away excitement week to week. It was great when read in bulk but the magazine is both a weekly battle and long-term war.

Bruh, buying Jump manga for re-read/collect these days seem like a bad investment , except One Piece. Can always put tax money in one piece.

I will probably wait until TPN is finished to get every volumes.

nothing from 7 translated chapters. It's pretty average.
