>>273458552Isn't that the one who solicited a kid for sex though
>>273458801Wouldn't that make him the king of /a/?
>>273458801Yes but that was during his first serialization back in the late 90s
Come to think of it, Jump are pretty big hypocrites to serialise Shimabukuro so frequently when they fucking murdered the Act-Age guy
>>273459150Build King came out a few months after Act-Age got canned lol
>>273457010New Kumagawa Misogi spin off, Bleach Hell Arc, and weekly Boruto.
>>273459150Shimabukuro had plausible deniability since he was paying for a legal age prostitute Watsuki went out on a bike and molested middle schoolers on 4K CCTV
If Ichi and Syd become successful which series will they kill?
>>273459451>>ichi and syd >>successful LoLLmao even
>>273459730ichi has some potential, syd is doa
>>273458165check nue's graph now
>>273459451Kiyoshi and Himaten
>>273459765Malik hunts are already all the same and play out similarly
>>273459905There's a reason almost every monster hunting series stops being about the monsters, shit gets too repetitive
Axe this Nue garbage already.
Waiting for Kawaguchi.....
I understand thinking the series are shit but anyone who thinks Ichi and Syd won't bring in money and have long healthy lives are completely delusional and way too eager to fill out the U19 club.
Nue sucking on Tafukus fat meaty cock...
>>273460300wwhats syd
panels like these make me miss Murakami...
>>273460300YesBut are they replacing UU and YFOr will they kill Police and KB?
>>273460354Wtf is wrong with the editorial department at wsj? Why do they allow such garbage to get publish in the magazine?
>>273460217>>choujo, kb, astro, himaten, kiyoshi doing worse>>somehow they need to cancel nue?????
>>273461350I feel like Himaten is going to have protected status for awhile no matter how bad it does
>>273461404Let me be clear, if that bitch doesn't sell above 20k next volume you can kiss her goodbye, sales increasing I the only way she survives
W-Why is Gakuro making that face...?
Despite everything, Undead Unluck won.
>>273457010let it die.
>>273461521>>had to speed run every final fightDefine "won"
>>273461449Saito doesn't care, he gave it 1st rank despite selling less than mamayuyu and that was cancelled with no chance to grow
nue was pure kinography this week
>>273461674There is obviously favoritism at play here, however how can justify that favoritism when the series can't break 20k despite all the shilling? Saito would have to be even more retarded than imagined if he keeps it around despite no increase
>>273461913I'm not sure it's staff favoritism as much as it is business politics. Jump hasn't had a traditional romcom in ages and the magazine is carried entirely by women these days. They may keep Himaten shilled in the interest of maintaining a demographic of boys that aren't overlapping with other series.
>>273460398Over the long run, probably both. Basically everyone (except game dev club) gets a pass next round because of Yoza and UU ending. Next batch after that is a knife fight and I'm not sure Chojo and KB are positioned to survive it. Himaten is being pushed, Kiyoshi is also kinda being pushed, Ichi is doing well and Shinobi isn't flopping, meanwhile KB is in a death spiral, Astro fucking sucks, (but is probably safe for at least one year) and Chojo is sinking fast.
>>273457010one entire volume of the old man, in his old man body, having sex with the rich girl.
>>273457010More quasi gay shit.
>>273457746As his ex-editor Saito knows Kill Blue is garbage and Fujimaki should be doing fujo sports instead.
>>273461350Himaten just got top of the ToC, bro.
>>273462105>Kiyoshi is also kinda being pushedThey need to market Kiyoshi with Kagurabachi more
>>273462103They won't keep a roscommon selling below 20k just because they feel like they need one, only genre who gets a pass with low sales are gags
>>273462238And? That doesn't work against what I'm saying, it's being shilled to see if it can increase sales for vol 2
>>273462249Kiyoshi is finally giving into the fujoshit so I guess the Bachi crowd is really about to swarm into it. I really didn't think he had it in him with his total avoidance of it before.Figures he'd only make the most evil demon lord a homo.
>>273462249This. Fuck that Nue and Kill Blue collab.
>>273457010I will save it.

>>273463352?? ToC is as objective as you get in what the magazine currently values. You can say one series is being shilled to the top, but that doesn't explain Nue shitting the bed at the bottom.

>>273457097>Saito took over>KGB went from D tier to C tierWOWEE WAWA, such an improvement
>>273457010Why don't they just make a weekly isekai slop and capitalise on the genre's popularity. Nips eat anything with isekai tags on them. It even helps that the isekai bar is so low and most ongoing series are released monthly rather than weekly.

>>273466220>dead>dead>barely profitable>tax write off>sub 30k>should die>should die>dead.
>>273466220I wonder why did they delay Kiyoshi until February while Himaten 2 is January. Is it another volume with more chapters than average?
>>273466084>not even top 10Holy fall off
>>273466289They saw the shit sales and decided to make a final showdown between him and Policeman Chojo
>>273447193I was pretty disappointed at the start when he didn't actually kill that guy, don't tease lethality if you aren't going to deliver, so next few chapters of sakamoto days have a lot riding on them for me
>>273466084>>273466359I don’t get it.
>>273466220When your highest selling series for the month can't even sell 100k...
Whatll be the total circulation with Kagurabachi volume 5? I'm guessing 1.5mil
what's the ecchi/romcom series du jour? last time I seriously followed wsj they still ran bokuben
>>273466504Three days to go, guessing 1.4
>>273466507Himaten and Sydcraft which is by bokuben mangaka
>>273466518these girls dont look cute enough....
>>273466560its probably getting axed desu
>>273466135> i'm still waiting for it to blow up like demon slayer Demon slayer was a miracle. Still you might want to compare respective first month sales of first four volumes of KnY and KGB. Do it.
>>273466507Blue Box which has an anime right now
>>273466285Lighthearted gag battle and you want it goneJump doesn't deserve good manga
>>273466509Definitely 1.4 - 1.5, 1.3 is too little since it'd include another set of reprints and 1.6 is probably too much1.5 would probably look the best + would avoid the monthly reprints... probably
>>273466220>UU volume in january and februaryIt's over..
why the 11 page filler kagurabachi chapter this week? is there some news i missed?
>>273466605Yep yep.
>>273466588who? kiyoshi?last two chapters had 0 comedy, shinobigoto has more comedy AND has sakadays tier action
>>273466626Likely reason is Oda's sudden health issue forced them to move Kagurabachi's LCP up which fucked Takeru up and that's all he could put out
>>273466577>compare respective first month sales of first four volumesWhat's the point of this? Kaiju 8's first four volumes kicks both KnY and KGB's ass and nothing came out of it.
>>273466587>The series focuses on Taiki Inomata, a student at Eimei Junior and Senior High, an athletics-oriented school, where he is a member of the boys' badminton team and is considered simply average. Every morning, he trains to get better early in the gym, often at the same time and place as his upperclasswoman Chinatsu Kano, the star of the girls' basketball team. Taiki quickly develops a crush on her, but is initially too shy to speak to her despite their continual alone time together. His fortunes change, however, when Chinatsu moves in with Taiki's family after her parents leave Japan to work abroad.yuck, girl randomly moving in? is it 1998 already?
>>273466626Oda fell ill and couldnt do the #1 issue cover so they gave it to Takeru who was already struggling
>>273466571It probably will last at least a year, it got top 1 toc
>>273466654Anon is waiting for KGB to blow up like demon slayer. I am pointing out the fact demon slayer absolutely did not blow up at the similar point as KGB is now.
>>273466663>15k on top 1grimIchi should hurry up and do 50k fm on vol 1 already
>>273466653>>273466662damn hope oda gets well, but shifting that to an already overworked takeru is fucked up. get its their biggest new name and series in years but bombarding him with covers and color pages will just squander all that potential
>>273465863Your mom is a native isekai
>>273466711Yeah, there's been some JP discussion that's mad at Oda since there's no way kagurabachi would get the #1 cover normally>"it's fine to need a break, but a veteran forcing so much work on a newbie is unforgivable"
>>273466698It’s most likely because it’s the only pure romance in the magazine, so it get some kind of protection, just like gag series
>>273466711It's simultaneously a good opportunity for him, there was no way he'd turn down this thing that "never happens" after all. Sucks but he's young and I'm sure he was all for it
>>273466799>romcoms>protectionNo, those are expected to sell in jump.
>>273466653>[HEADCANON]Why does Kgbfag only rely on headcanon ?
>>273466831Not anymore it seem
>>273466842The #1 cover has either been a big pillar of jump (OP, Haikyu, MHA) or a debut serialization for over a decade
>>273466865Tell that to BB, which sold 100k on vol 2.
>>273466831yes, romance gets some (small) protection just like gag manga or manga aimed at very young children because there is an assumption that they move magazines, maybe more so than more popular series, by virtue of supplying a more unique demand for a more specific demographic
>>273466881Sport romance so different I guess
>>273466842Sure, it wasn't Oda getting sick, Takeru and KGB just very popular so they gave him #1 cover since KGB is #1 manga. Thanks anon.
>>273466881Last ten years didn’t got a single romance outside BB doing 100k, not even 30k in jumpBecause now this genre became pretty much nonexistent in jump, they need have at least a few in the magazineto pander at boys, in a way it’s almost like how gags are treated.This or Saito just love his romcom so much he give 15k slop top1
>>273467031*i forgot bokuben along BB
It’s just me or Syd craft is…Mid?Like I don’t expect this to blow up and do good sales
>>273467084>Like I don’t expect this to blow up and do good salesWhat kind of a romcom does that?
>>273458633Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi keeps growing while Shinobigoto keeps free fallingI didn't like this week's Kiyoshi chapter, not because of the in your face fujobait but because I didn't like that the mangaka gets influenced to write fanservice just to "appeal" to the masses so easily, just create your own stuff, in this week's chapter the fact that Kiyoshi is not a passion project shined the most and that affected my perspective on the chapter, still the dialogue and narrative are always peak, I just don't like a mangaka that writes fanserviceIchi the Witch was great as always, the manga that will make Weekly Shonen Jump go bankrupt by making Mairimashita Iruma-kun famous among normiesShinobigoto and Himaten were trash as always, generic shit that has zero creativity in it, and Ichi and Kiyoshi are generic yet still got that aura of creativity in them
>>273466560>moleWhy are moles so hot, anonbros?
>>273467300Someone is salty about Shinobi while kiyoshi is in the mudd
>>273464842I tried reading Kaihen Wizards and although I find the world building super interesting I ended up falling sleep before finishing the first chapterwhen is Sunday going to stop releasing only slice of life shit?
>This threadArmchair editors are an odd bunch
>>273463061>>273463243>samefag
>>273466203This extra chapter was retarded and detrimental to Sojo characterGenerally serious cold blooded murderers -human traffickers- armdealers trying to uncover the secrets of the alien stone by experimenting on the kids Sojo was in the main story don't have time nor fancy cutesy behavior like the one shown in this extra. I get it was made 'for SoL fans' but it also fucked over the established character portrayal. Could have just make the SoL about him selling weapon or torturing kids instead.
>>273467323even if the first volume of shinobigoto sells better than kiyoshi the free falling effect will continue, writing manga is not a sprint, it is a marathon, is about who gains more interest and more readers with each month and Shinobigoto is clearly not that manga
>>273457010>gaijin are already making youtube essays about Rappa Yankee Ninpuuchou>only 7 chaptersuhhhh... jump bros... nobody cares about our manga with ninjas
>>273467378There is like zero hype for Kiyoshi it’s literally treated as an axebait lower than Shinobi, so dunno how you get that
>>273457010>One Piece barely gets 2 chapters the past 2 months>magazine instantly starts dyingHow I would save it? Release more One Piece chaptersYou can send my check in the mail
>>273457010i didnt know gakuro can make other face now
>>273457010Question about these WSJ polls: aren't volume sales way more important? Shouldn't one reflect the other? Meaning, if they are popular in the polls, shouldn't they have high sales numbers?
>>273457010who would win in a death battle between Fujimoto vs ONE? I recon ONE wins and it won't even be close
>>273467416Nue was KINO this week
>>273467420its not an 1:1 because editors change the ranking either due to the content (gore or too fanservice) or if a mangaka submitted the work late and put them at the bottom
Madan no Ichi
>>273466663It got top 1 because of the pin-up puta, if the author makes her the main girl then it will live, if the author keeps the boring class rep and neglect puta then it will get axed
>>273467507old and dusted, fujos won >>273464599
Does Nue suffer from "female opponents aren't treated seriously" thing? I'm not reading it but every time I see someone posting serious battle it's against a guy.
>>273467507
>>273467546most japanese authors cant write women to begin with
I need an evil girl in Himaten
>>273467420>Shouldn't one reflect the other?Not really, Bleach was at the rock bottom of the ToC for its last year while still selling 400k per volume.
>>273467507is jump's savior
>>273467546No? Lots of competent females in a battle harem.
>>273467606lol
>>273467504>>273467577Could it be that they like (and buy) more than one of the titles, but can only vote for one? Like if someone liked and bought Bleach and One Piece but when it came to voting he/she voted for One Piece.
People who say hero organization suck after the father died.are fucking liars. The son is just as well written. Ive been enjoying the manga right now.
>>273464644how can the inferior work of Nishi save anything? the moment Ichi the Witch gets popular is the moment Iruma will take over when they look for more from Nishi
>>273467618That's more a general flaw of the system. If your series is everyone's 4th favorite, you get no votes, despite being one of the most popular series
>>273467618you can vote for 3 series
>>273467507>>273467554Semiu from Gachiakuta is waaaaaaay better since she is an actual black woman and not some fantasy being with dark skin
>>273467630Jumpfags are not "moving" to another magazine, Jump fanbase is loyal to Jump and despise other magazines, for them Ichi will be the superior product and they will skip Iruma.
>>273467637That's why saito added the>three series you had the most fun with this week
>>273467630This is the dumbest new shitpost in these threads. Why the fuck would Ichi send people to Iruma and not the other way around
>>273467679lolmaybe OPfags
>>273467682That was always there he added a general "what is your 3 favorite series in jump" secondary poll
>>273467694because Iruma is the superior work and the true passion project of Nishi
>>273467694Ichi is bound to do better than Iruma eventually simply because of how much bigger Jump is compared to magazine
