Multiple bits of promo text called this arc the "climax".

In fairness, Jump is infamously hyperbolic, but the simple fact is Gotoge had to have the manga's ending planned out.
Climax of Muzan fight, its strange that they still havent called it as something like climax of the final phase or something like that. It could happen the same as with the TV promo Kimetsu got months ago and people believed that the series was ending soon because of it.

As you said "what reason do we have to believe this is the series being extended" the same can be aplied with the reverse statement. We dont know if Gotouge want to extend it or end it as right now, so we shouldnt implied any of those yet with more evidence.
Series that you think were supposed to end, still can continue, this could or couldnt be the case with Kimetsu.

It's funny how before these simple spoilers everybody was so sure about the manga ending and these "climax" texts would be use as a factual argument but now they're being used to try show that it was never really stated that the manga was ending but it was just the battle against Muzan kkkk

Issue 20: Shinrin Ouji Mori King (by Hasegawa Tomohiro)
Issue 21: Bone Collection (by Kirara Sakajun)
Issue 22/23: Group Cover
Issue 24: Time Paradox Ghost Writer (Ichima Kenji (story) and Date Tsunehiro (artwork))
Hmm, so three new series. S8 ended, and Zipman is clearly about to end. That means they'll need to end one more series by issue #24 to make room. Going back to my previous post about upcoming milestones:

Issue #19 Agravity Boys ch16(completes v2)
Issue #20
Issue #21
Issue #22-23 Yuragi ch205(completes v23), Yozakura Family ch34(completes v4)
Issue #24 Kimetsu ch205(completes v23), Undead Unluck ch16(completes v2), Mitama ch36(completes v4)
Issue #25 Bokuben ch159(completes v18), TPN ch179(completes v20), Marshle ch16(completes v2)
Issue #26 GotW ch16(completes v2)

Would be the likely candidates. Unless Agravity Boys has an abrupt ending this issue that hasn't been mentioned, or has one next issue, it's probably not that. Unless Unead, Marshle, or GotW is tanking so badly that they've already decided to end it before it completely fills a second volume, they're probably not it. Kimetsu and Yuragi's stories are both currently in a state where it's impossible to say at the moment if they're ending or will go on for a while. Bokuben doesn't seem like it's in a rush to end at the moment, so probably not that. That leaves Mitama, Yozakura, and TPN, which I'm not familiar enough with to say.

So anyways, if you like TPN, Agravity, Yozakura, Mitama, Undead, Marshle, or GotW and it suddenly looks like it could wrap up within the next 4 chapters or so, that just might happen.

No need to axe more, there are 2 spots left in the magazine and a third when Zipman gets cancelled.

None of them excluding Zipman look like are ending anytime soon (From the newbies)

Technically Agravity Boys would look like the most obvious candidate for a ending with the rankings but it would be just bizarre if Jump cancels a manga right after the first volume is released that they're actively promoting lol

Not really? Samurai 8 frees up one and Zipman is the second, but there still needs to be another one.
there is 18 series in this issue (not included one shot).. and if we get zipman axe, that mean we got 17 series.. yeah.. 3 slot for new series to make 20 total series...

I ain’t worried about Undead. It doesn’t pick up steam yet until Gina’s introduction. Volume 1 sales this coming week will be the test to see if it is actually popular. Good for Mashle to get a color.

Absolutely shocked to see Agravity at the bottom. Not this way bros :gwah

Now onto the new serializations, that Mori King seems promising but I find it strange Jump is starting another gag series and not a sports. What’s going on Nak?

Bone Collector could be good. And Tsunehiro Date hooked up with a writer again? And it looks to be a romcom?

Promo text for Moriking:

The new series by Hasegawa Tomohiro-sensei, author of Seishun Heiki Number 1!!
Middle Insert: Who is this guy wearing this crown...?! [There's a pun on the verb wear and rhinoceros beetle]
Middle Black Text: ☆The unknown, an invasion! and fate get underway!! The first of the three new series starting this spring!! A noble, inquisitive, complete-metamorphosis gag series! 46 pages long with the cover and opening color pages!! ["Complete metamorphosis" could also be read as "complete pervert", not sure if that's intentional or not]
Bottom: Shinrin Ousha Morikin [There might be another letter? Maybe "gu" for "kingu"/"king"]
Forest King Morikin (Moriking?)

No, there's a need. WSJ usually likes to have no more than 20 series going at a time. HxH doesn't count as one of them unless it's actually publishing chapters. So they had 20 after adding U+U, Marshle, and GotW. Samurai 8 ending dropped them down to 19, and Zipman will make it 18. That's only two slots free.

I definitely agree. I'll be cautiously optimistic though, as while I am praying the ending won't be extended to the dreaded part 2, I also hope that whatever happens in the next few chapters fixes a few of the issues we had with
Muzan being an underwhelming final villain, Kanao not showing up, etc.
.
[
About the Muzan part, there's actually a character development for him in this chapter.

Also, I can see all this issue being resolved in 2-3 chapters because there are lots of things that support the idea that this will definitely will be the conclusion. It's just her usual red herrings after a battle "ends". Anyways, just wait how this develops from now on.

New serialization round incoming.



King of the Forest (Issue 20)
Bone Collection (Issue 21)
Time Paradox Ghost Writer (Issue 24)
I thought this was April Fool's for a second, but Spring Ax is back! The art looks better, but I truly have trouble seeing this taking off lol. Interesting that he decided to use his third chance on the bug man one shot. Lets see if it pays off.

Issue 20: Shinrin Ouji Mori King (by Hasegawa Tomohiro)
Issue 21: Bone Collection (by Kirara Sakajun)
Issue 22/23: Group Cover
Issue 24: Time Paradox Ghost Writer (Ichima Kenji (story) and Date Tsunehiro (artwork))
Date back with artwork only? Hopefully it's a romcom. Ideal situation: 1 series takes Samurai 8's place, another takes Zipman's, the last takes the spot of either TPN, Guardian, or Kimetsu. I'm not quite ready to see any of the others leave yet besides maybe Agravity.

Agravity rock bottom even below Zipman? Not too surprised there. I am surprised to see Undead in the bottom 5 though. All of the new series are lined up at the bottom except Mashle, and even that dropped some. However, it's getting a color page next issue, so that's good for it. Hopefully Mitama, Yozakura, and Undead still have more life to them.

Regarding Hasegawa's return, Shinohara said that, even if they don't sell, Jump still sees the inclusion of a gag manga as important for the weekly reading community, at least as a way to unwind and include something "easy". So the logic seems to be to just keep pumping out them as a loss leader.

Also, incidental, but a continuously trying but always failing gag mangaka named Hasegawa? Someone better call Sorachi, because Madao has taken on a life of his own.

Oh yes, I count incorrectly. I skip Guardian for a reason and tought there were 18 without incluing Zipman, sorry for that.
