The art in Crimson King annoyed me a little but I quite liked some parts of it.

The ending was great.

hmmmm...........
*hears myself and randal cry out in annoyance*

how is bokke still above sket?! psyrens fine above it, it is the stronger of the two as of 8 weeks ago, but CMON both are middle tier series at least!

Bokke is still in the process of falling. That's why it's above Sket. Next week it will be last. Watch. Mago's pissing me off. It's one shining hope is that it could establish itself as the next DGM or To Love Ru, sells enough that chart position isn't to important. I do agree Noodles, both Sket and Psyren should be ranked between 6 and 10 most weeks.

Am I seeing things correctly; are Kuroko and Inumaru getting more color in two weeks? Why?

 

[Digital_Eon]

I'm still of the belief that some of those "bottom 5" series aren't unpopular - it's just that everything ABOVE them is very popular, or editor-ranked.

When's To Love-Ru gonna end already?

Inumaru and Kuroko, again? in before editor love.

 

[Kaiten]

In the case of Psyren and Mago they have to compete with the biggest series for votes every week. Toriko distinguishes itself with the 80's throwback art, making it easier for action fans to differentiate it from Bleach, Naruto, et al.

Everything about the color pages for issue 14 is wrong. Except for Beezle Baby. New series always get color pages for chapter 2, it's the new tradition. The other two, come on. And DGM better get color and cover for issue 15. I'll be pissed if anything else does.

 

[Maxy Barnard]

well let's pretend it's all fake, but inudash and kuroko have pulled their weight lately, and who knows inudash might be selling well too! (amazon.co.jp don't have it in stock for me so i'm presuming ¬_¬)

My series wins for now, Noodle *maniacal laughter*

But seriously, this bottom five sucks. I hope both of the new series collapse so the cushion is back for Mago and Psyren. I also hope that To-love and Neuro can end soon. Same with Eyeshield. I personally think that is Sket Dance can make enough chapters to fill 12 volumes worth of content, I think it can be considered fully successful. I don't really think it needs to go farther beyond that point. Not every series needs to be a 50 volume epic.

 

[Koen]

Come on don't feel so bad about it. Jump just ended two series. Two newcomers are coming in ready to be axed later on (joking ). D.Gray-man is coming back. The next axe is either a so called predicted (rushed? synonym: shaman king) end of TLR, neuro or it's a next round of axing after the two new ones will be rated

 

[Kaiten]

Next cut could be for Hunter. It's about that time of year. If it were to come in March Bokke is the obvious sacrifice. And yes, this bottom five sucks. Having four series I read down their pisses me off.

 

[Koen]

Sorry to say but it's bokke's first danger zone rating out of four or five ratings and people are calling bokke the next axe, isn't that a bit farfetched? If Nishi doesn't dissapoint his muhyo fans then bokke is certainly going to be the jojo that can build up and end decently

 

[SSJWill4]

So far the order didn't change at all from last week. It's just that 2 of the series that got color were in the bottom 5 and thus shifted other series above them down. Having 2 bottom feeder series get canceled recently hasn't helped either. On the plus side, it looks like cancellations are done for the time being, so hopefully before the next new series come in we can get some natural endings out of the current run of series like Neuro, Eyeshield, and To Love (although I'm kinda doubting To Love).

I forgot about that. Good call!

I'm definitely a fan of Bokke and disappointed to see it this low. Problem is that it's fallen into the bottom so quickly. Psyren, Sket Dance, and Mago all had the benefit of spending months in the top ten before falling into the bottom five. Bokke's position has become weaker every week it's been charted. What will be the deciding factor is weather Hunter x Hunter comes back in March or April. If it does the two new series won't have enough chapters to cut. The only thing that could save it if Hunter comes back soon is if an established series like ES21 or Neuro ends instead.

 

[Galactic Tomahawk]

Yeah no matter which way you look (eighth week or eighth chapter for ratings), Bokke-san fell pretty quickly. While I'd like to be optimistic, a lot of new series have ended pretty much exactly like this.

 

[Rejuvenation]

#13 (23/02) :

Psyren
Bokke
Sket
Nurarihyon
ToLove
Jaguar
(Hetappi?)

#14 (02/03) :

Belze, inumaru, Kuroko (Pc)

I'm not satisfied with this list or the color pages.

Hopefully, Eyeshield comes to its natural end in the next few weeks to help free up some space on the top.

I could see To Love Ru ending in the next few months but its volume sales could keep it going for a bit.

Bokke has grown on me but between it and Psyren I'd have to choose Psyren. I'm still catching up with Mago so I'm undecided there. I'm hoping the new series fall quickly and gives the others a nice cushion.

 

[Maxy Barnard]

the colours lately have been pleasing me, outside of es21's pathetic(yet pretty) attempts to put some life into the stagnant corpse it's become

 

[DeidaraGrimmjow]

Is Kuroko really that popular? Or is it that Jump wants so badly to have a sports series established after Eyeshield? Sports series like Eyeshield, Slam Dunk and PoT don't come along that often. I say don't force it. If it's meant to be than it will be.


ps. Psyren, you get your awesome self back up there in the safe zone or so help me...

Pimping, pimping, pimping. I can't believe it's this popular this quick. Maybe I'm wrong.

Hopefully Hoop Men is better then Kuroko.

 

[GARusashi]

The JUMP editors probably just think Kuroko can take Eyeshield's place since it's ending soon, I think it has what it takes to be JUMP's next big sports series.

Then again, I thought Chagecha and Double Arts were gonna be big hits.
