I have a question for everyone.
Now that KnY has concluded, which series do you think will most likely get KnY's votes in the ToC?
Probably new manga. I'm more interested in if there'll be a manga that will capitalize on the second place of the ToC or if there'll be a lot of competition for that. The second place wasn't taken by either One Piece or Kimetsu no Yaiba only twice this year (not counting covers), once on issue #9 (Kimetsu had a CP and OP was third behind Jujutsu Kaisen) and another time on issue #24 (One Piece was on break and Kimetsu had another CP). Meanwhile, the third place was also very disputed by One Piece and Kimetsu and most of the times either series fell to the third place was because a series other than them had the cover and LCP (Kimetsu got third place on issues #3, #4-5, #8, #10, #12, #16 and #20 while One Piece got it on issues #1, #9, #15, #17, #21-22 and #23).
Reminder that when I say second and third place I'm counting the cover which is the first place.
Regarding the Toc, this is going to be more interesting to see when Neverland ends, since it usually is top-3 spot always.
I can see the top-2 being locked to One Piece and Dr.Stone (Dr.Stone is almost always top-3). Then the third place will be competition between MHA and Haikyuu (and maybe Black Clover sometimes). Closing the top-5 with maybe Mashle.
In this situation, for the moment I see Jujutsu, Act-age and Chainsawman remaining in the middle-tier for a while.
PD: I hope Act-age gets a good rank this week. It has been a lot of weeks with it unfairly in the bottom
Unless you're counting out the cover series, The Promised Neverland and Dr. Stone have only been in the top 3 three times this year. As I said previously, the top 3 has usually been One Piece, Kimetsu no Yaiba and the cover series.
