Well Eyeshield ended which will bring other stuff down now since it had been in the bottom 5. Eh, how manga freaking mangas are left in Jump that are ranked now???
One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Toriko, Beelzebub, Gintama, Sket Dance, Psyren, Bakuman...
Reborn, Inumaru Dash, Kuroko no Basuke, Nurarihyon no Mago...

ToLoveRu is basically always at the bottom 5. Hoopmen, too. So not much left, is there?

That'll change in two weeks though, since Medaka's about to reach chapter 8. And in the following week Akaboshi will start ranking as well.

Then again, there's also OP and Naruto... not counting color pages and absent weeks, they're ALWAYS the top two in the rankings. Their positions are pretty much fixed.

I'm interested in seeing how well Medaka and Akaboshi rank. Also if Jump will add new series in once they are officially ranked. The faster Jump does, the faster there is a chance for something else to be a cushion for whats already here.

Or the faster something new will be a hit and push something already established down.

Meaning Bakuman could be in danger if one of these new series prove to be hits, as per it's recent fall. Bad time to drop, I say.

From both series' placements so far, I'd say none of them is a complete and utter failure like Hoop Men (sadly) was. Neither of them was placed in the bottom five before they started being ranked, at the very least. =P

Just a short question, but do you think they are oging to end two sports-manga in a row without replacement? I mean sure there's still Kuroko, but it's still a little risky, no?

No, I don't think Jump is not going to end Kuroko because they are supporting Kuroko for a replacement of Eyeshield21. However, if there is a new sport series come in later, then depends on how new sport series goes, Kuroko then might be going to be in danger zone. For Hoopmen, this series going to be end in matter of time.

I think Akaboshi will be a hit, so I guess that's bad news for some mangas out there.

Medaka Box is boring stuff.

It is a risk worth taking because if Medaka Box and Akaboshi are both hits something established will already be pushed down anyway.

At least the other way provides fodder. Let Jump approve another Basketball manga and watch one of the two series sink all over again. =P

That begs the question, if established series get pushed down and new series become hits, will there be a lock on WSJ? As in no space to add anything new because none of the series there are worthy of being cut.

How often is it that two series introduced at the same time both become hits? Can't ever recall it happening. If that happens though then it is true that any new series would have the odds stacked against them (unless one of them is potentially Naruto/Bleach status).

I wish. Psyren, Sket and Mago would obviously be in line for the gallows should something like that occur.

Actually, Death Note/Gintama, Reborn/D.gray-man, and ToLove-Ru/Mx0 introduced a same time and both become very successful. (except Mx0, which is quite success, but not huge success) So, there are often happens that new series that introduced same time had become success.

Therefore, I highly doubt that both MedakaBox and Akaboshi are high possibilities to become a successful series.

No, I don't think Jump is not going to end Kuroko because they are supporting Kuroko for a replacement of Eyeshield21.

I think by "two series" he meant Eyeshield and Hoop, not Kuroko and Hoop. =P

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

man, TOC ranking is always surprising. It's good to see Mago out of the bottom 5, but sad to see Psyren and Bakuman dropping.
well, Psyren's ranking is always flip flopping, so i'm not surprise and i agree with randal about Bakuman, it's just not as interesting as before they got serialized. well, i just hope with both Psyren and Mago entering one of those big arcs, both will start to rank higher. About akaboshi and kuroko, from a friend of mine who live in Japan and is a regular reader of Jump, he told me that while those two are quite popular, it's not that popular to push mago, beelzebub, psyren or bakuman.

There seemed to be some noise at 2ch about ToLoveRu is simply currently unranked due to the continuing fiasco. I'm not saying that I believe it, but where would that lead us if it is true?

Continuing Fiasco? You mean the toc or something else.

I meant with Yabuki's personal life, his divorce and plan to move, etc.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

I think it is pretty difficult for Sket, Psyren, and Mago to escape from bottom five because One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Gintama, and Reborn are solid series, so they are no going to be in bottome 5. Furthermore, there are lots of new series, since 2008, has become pretty much successful, even two newest series, MedakaBox and Akaboshi, seem to have pretty positive reviews. So in order for Sket, Psyren, and Mago to increase their ranking, older series or other new series has to go on the bottom.

Therefore, I made a conclusion that actually Jump has lots of popular series, low ranked series not going to be cancelled if their volume sells are high.
