Bleach (C)
Reborn
Inumaru
Belzee
Keppû Gakkyû Kai Miyokawa Masaru - OneShot ( Cp - 47p）
Kuroko no Basket

Neuro (Cp - 23p - End)
Psyren
Nurari

Hmm so the top 3 are Naruto, Toriko, and Reborn. I'm cool with that.

Oh crap, is that Beelzebub's first real ranking? Top 5 is pretty high.

Hmm Kuroko just after it and DGM has risen. I'd be happy if Psyren swapped with Inumaru.

Anyway, this is a pretty good ToC for me minus a few things.

 

[StrangerAtaru]

Weird listings is weird: Inumaru and Beezle in the top five confirms that. (though Beezle being top 5 may show it's potential) And Psyren...well its still out of the Bottom 5 so it's not like it's in danger compared to some other stuff.

 

[andrewsungchehau]

1st time posting in this discussion.

I'm surprise Reborn is so high when it's focusing on training. D Gray Man had risen which makes me really happy.xD Hope it risen up more in the future.

P.S. How come people hate action manga/chapters that much when most of those manga/chapters were popular(top1-5)?? I can understand those long action one(Naruto and Bleach), but why the short one??

 

[Maxy Barnard]

inudash rising up the ranks continues to prove it's a relatively 'popular with critics, not with tank buyers' manga, and i'm happy for beelzebub, but i miss sket being as high as it was. perhaps it'll swap with kuroko soon

 

[◆ T.D.A ◆]

LOL that's a Bleach cover, hardly any Bakuman.

 

[Kaiten]

What's up with all the stolen covers this year? And Bleach hardly counts as un - ranked; even with the cover it's in third, it's usual position. Does anyone believe it would have been higher or lower without it?

1. Naruto
2. Toriko
3. Bleach
4. Reborn
5. Inumaru
6. Beelzebub
7. Kuroko
8. Gintama
9. Gray
10. Kochikame
11. Sket
12. Psyren
13. Mago
14. Eyeshield
15. Bokke
16. Hoop
17. To Love Ru

 

[StrangerAtaru]

Bleach actually would be 4th if OP was in the mix...Toriko really has change things.

 

[Kaiten]

Forgot. OP taking the week off pushes everything up one. Here's a cam of the TOC, Dofla posted it at Ritual. It makes it fairly obvious what is and isn't ranked. Been a while since one was posted.

How can you all receive JUMP in such a early time?

 

[Imitorar]

Hm, this ranking is rather interesting. One Piece and Naruto's averages are EXTREMELY close to each other. In fact, I think that with this week off, Naruto may pull ahead. But One Piece will be in first place next week, so it may balance out or pull ahead again. Honestly, I find that the most interesting thing about the ToC right now. I don't care for any of the new series' right now, and all of the series' that I like seem prettty secure in the magazine. I guess I have it to look forward to that I'm not in for a disspointment in May.

Someone at Shueisha or the printer must have taken those pics. Jump goes to press this time of week.

Based on the rankings you posted Mago is twelfth, thanks Imitorar! Looks like it will move out of the bottom five soon.

Quick cheat to decipher what series is what (for any wondering): copy and paste the kanji to Amazon Japan. That only works if the series has a tankobon released.

 

[Magicoreo]

Augh, what is this, Bleach gets another cover?
I'm a fan of Bleach and all, but this is crazy.

I think this is the second time Bakuman gets it's cover stolen.
...
I'm pretty pissed.
At the same time, I thought Neuro should have gotten a cover.

No ending series ever gets the cover for it's "final chapter". Most likely due to probably not wanting to depress people and say "this is it, last chance" or some such. Usually the final cover/CP is probably a few chapters before the finale anyway. (though for Neuro...it hasn't had a cover since '07...at least)

 

[Magicoreo]

@StrangerAtaru
Oh, I see.
I never knew that!

But, it's just... not fair.
Shueisha never help out other series. As in promoting it.

You don't think One Piece or Kochi Kame (assuming it ever ends) would get a cover for the final chapter? While you are right that no other series in our memory has received a cover for their final chapter, none of them had as much an impact or longevity respectively as either of these two series.

 

[Kaiten]

Series don't always get the cover for their final chapter as the action may already be resolved. Better to give the last cover for the last chapter of the climactic fight then then when all the characters just wave goodbye. Prince of Tennis got it's last cover with three chapters left as this coincided with the last chapter of the final match. The last chapter also had color pages but no cover. Obviously One Piece and Kochikame will be special cases, as two of the three most popular manga ever.

The final chapter of Dragonball had the very first chapter of it's issue. But BOY was on the cover that week. That pretty much proves that the final cover and final chapter may never match, even for massive hits like them.

Even Dragon Ball didn't get a cover for its final chapter. It did get a whole color chapter though, which was nice.

 

[Sexy Randal 105]

Interesting week. Neuro finally ends, Psyren just above the death pit, and mago barely inside it. Still, a pretty good toc. Now some space is finally cleared for some new series.

 

[DeidaraGrimmjow]

Let's hope they come sooner rather than later.
