Another 120 chapters for Dr.Stone then? Fair enough. I haven’t been following Dr.Stone closely, but aren’t the sales stagnating? Therefore it won’t be able to survive in the magazine for another 3 years and it will risk a premature end

Hmmm...so is it basically Toku?

 

[Reading Somethin']

Lurked for a while here both with and without an account for half of 2019 or so. Thought it would be a good time to start posting. Here are my predictions:
-One piece doesn't get first on oricon again
-20 Hxh chapters
-Jjk getting a huge boost to top three on oricon list and becomes the new super popular seasonal battle shonen in the west
-Kny slows down a bit and gets 4th on oricon
-Samurai 8 sales dwindle down and it eventually moves magazines
-Black Clover goes back to pre-anime sales, but anime will stay
-Jump Force 2 or new jump console game that isn't One piece, Naruto, or Dragon ball
-Mitama and Yozakura will survive this year
-actage anime announcement

Inagaki's three year goal is interesting. It might actually run that long because of how different it is compared to most series on jump along with the free space jump currently has.

Shueisha is really pushing it so I think it'll do normally.

[Mankichi Togawa]

Hero Academia getting 2 consecutive color pages (already more than in 2019 run) makes me wonder what will be on break on issue 3.

 

[Ebrietas-]

-Hunter x Hunter will have another hiatus year (lol)

- HXH probably won't come back.

How so? Looking at past history it is more likely that we get 20 chapters in 2020 than for us to get no HxH chapters for 2 years straight.

 

[Ctkk]

Btw, I don't think anyone posted about this but Inagaki talked about an interesting thing on the interview both for Dr. Stone and for Eyeshield 21.

Do you have an idea in mind of how long you'd like Dr. Stone to run?

Inagaki: So as far as the end, I'm not sure and that's not necessarily about the story. We have a general idea of how the story will end itself but as we've gone along this journey, sometimes it's three steps forward, two steps back. I would be writing one storyline and I think it'll just be one storyline but it ends up taking ten, and then something I think is going to take five will only take one. It's a moving target and it's hard to tell.

One thing I can tell you is that in my head, I'm hoping three years and that's not to be greedy, but I definitely want to see it to the end. What I can definitely promise is that I would never stretch it out just for the sake of business. But I will definitely see it to the end.

I'm making a statement about making it longer than it needs to be due to business reasons because of my previous work, Eyeshield 21. Online, a lot of people were saying that maybe the editors had made it longer than necessary but in actuality that is exactly how I wanted to tell the story. There was also Murata-sensei's wish in there, too. That's why I wanted to double down on the guarantee that I would never overstay a story, so to speak.

It's not like there is any business reason to extend Dr. Stone .

Bold Predictions 2020

JJK 1 mil/month
KnY 1.5 mil/month
CSM Movie
Mitama 300k/month
HxH 40 chapters
Hero, BC, OP maintains

 

[raikou]

Stone Ocean will most likely be announced in 2020. The trend is that a JJBA part gets announced a year after the final BD is released of the recently aired part (in this case, part 5). Part 5 was announced & aired in the same year so there is that possibility of Stone Ocean airing in 2020. I will be shocked if at the very least we dont get an announcement for Stone Ocean in 2020.

I also predict Stone Ocean will be announced in 2020. I cant wait

You and me both, can't wait for announcement.
(Deep in my heart I want PHF adaptation but that may be impossible)

The illustration is nice but the cover itself is a bit messy, is like too much text everywhere. Anyway i'm curious to read

Yuuna still doing the job done! Sad to see Yozakura and Mitama below it.

Yuuna has really become the 'below here you're in trouble' line. I don't know what are we gonna do when it ends.

We'll use Black Clover instead.

 

[Jovan]

Oh no what is this awful synopsis...

That is a Jump+ oneshot synopsis, not Agravity Boys synopsis. The Issue 2 preview just says that it's a sci-fi comedic manga with 54P first chapter if I understood the discussion until now.

Dang, TSS artist certainly didn't take even a moment of downtime. They must've been able to tell the ax was incoming and began working on some ideas of their own.

I am glad that he is already trying to return back to the magazine. No idea why Shueisha didn't let him go with his GFC winning thing.

 

[wothab]

Looking forward to giving agravity boys a chance, Zipman too, I hope Zipman surprises me because so far, I am not liking the idea, but will genuinely give it a shot.
