>>289657706Kaminagi + Kinato vs Dua?
I haven't read the chapter yet, did we escape the allegations of axe? From what they said, the Pace also slowed down.
>>289657752Jien vs Noise!
>>289657788If there's a barrier, then maybe the other girl-villain is the one who set up it. Maybe she will fight Talius and Juna
>>289657778Kinato outright denies fighting Noise. Could mean the axe has been avoided, but also might not mean anything
Last double-spread pages. This chapter is definitely going to be the last chapter in volume 3, which means we're not getting axed for another volume (9 chapters!). Also, Kinato is escaping from the bottom of the ToC! Doomfags BTFO! Anyway, thank you for reading. See you next week! >>289657835Um... Terasu bros?
supah kinato
>>289657941Huh, I was gonna say this chapter felt like axe to me (more specifically in everybody rushing to the castle) but if the volume sizes don't allow it I guess not quite yet>>289657622also raises a good point
>>289658036>but if the volume sizes don't allow it I guess not quite yetthat means nothing, they can fill it with oneshots and other extra stuff
KEK doomfags are already coping. See you for (at least) 9 more weeks!
>>289657941delusional
>>289658182Like they won't show up every week.
https://www.viz.com/blog/posts/mangaka-musings-07-26-2026Author's comment this weekKinato's Magic / Kento Amemiya>I get all excited when I'm biking around and run into people dancing at an obon festival. But I'm sad that I can't dance.
>>289657941It's still getting axed, i already saw the vision. They're gonna make the epilogue about kinato who has become a top adventurer fighting the dog guy.
What if the running joke with Noise is that he keeps joining stronger and stronger villain groups in hopes of fighting Kinato, but he keeps getting curved
>>289657387>>289657442>>289657481People were right about Linae replacing the princess... but the reason.
>>289658616That could be pretty funny
Axe status: Avoided (for now). I like that it's coming into his own ever so slightly, even if the Deku comparisons are borderline slander.
>>289657387>>289657442>>289657481Where did this trope come from?I have seen many series where one of the maincast girls swaps places with a princess or very rich ojou-sama.
>>289659632The Prince and the Pauper (1881)
>>289659688that was prince and commoner retardo
>>289658345>autor comment talks about bikingoh no no no...
>>289659835tbf the July 5th author's comments, he was talking about how he joined a futsal league. Amemiya might just be built different like that
>>289659782but that's where it comes from
>>289660053>he already started searching for another activity since he got the axe noticemy guy
>>289657109So nothing in the chapter hints that Linae doesn't have royal bloodline. Why does our spoiler guy keep making shit up?
>>289657941Thanks OP
>>289659688Ah I see.Thanks for aswering.
>>289659688Why do Japs like Mark Twain so much?
>>289657324>Ouga really teleported to Kinato's worldKINO
>>289657941Kinato LIVED
>>289657941I hope saito was replaced and that's why Kinato got another chance
>>289658218>zero counterarguments
>>289659445Jump should try it's best to at least help existers, like half of the magazine is just nepo shit protected but too unpopular to work
>>289664627We need more Kaminagi
>>289659688lmao
>>289665192she is rushing to the castle to help Kinato
I understand those who say last week's chapter was rushed, so much so that I had already accepted its cancellation. But why was this one so strange? I found it quite calm, actually, The author even dedicated a lot of time to humor. Considering that the new batch ends with Sakamoto, I think if it's canceled, we'll go up to the 29-30. I don't see the bow stretching that far.
>>289666223'people' just want to post their axe memes
>>289666223Maybe saito got a warning and the author relaxed.
Even though the series was cancelled, is there any reason not to include these two in the background?
>>289666289Worse than that, there are many people who like the work saying that. Like, sure the work is practically dead, but I don't understand coming with this discourse when we finally get to the top and in a "calm" chapter.
>>289666711It's some schizo from /wsj/
>>289657941Thanks OP>>289658182based
>>289657941Deku is back on the menu
>>289657941>>289657788>doomfags btfoThis is going exactly like ah where the guy swung ouga to his final battle
>>289669967There's a whole volume to go now that this wasn't the end
>>289669967Fuck off already
>>289669967>This is going exactly like ah where the guy swung ouga to his final battleKinato's final boss hasn't even been revealed yet, and we have at least five more chapters before a possible cancellation.
>>289669967I hope it doesn't get axed for 2 reasons, one because I love Kinato and 2 for you to shut the fuck up, doomposter
Honestly, this "pessimism" in the Manga Plus chat bothers me a lot; it's clearly driving away casual readers, and what's worse is that the people flooding the chat with "axe" don't usually comment on other chapters. It's totally different from when AH was cooked and the fans were lamenting.
>>289671878People love doomposting too much these days, but Jump axing too many series doesn't help and make people distrust. The quick ah axe made people distrust even harder since that one made it to tsugimanga. There is no reason for AH (not anymore) and Kinato to be ignored and not let it be an exister at least.
>>289672098Kinato might leave a legacy of "what kind of sales do you need to be an exister". There's a small gap between its volume 1 and the likes of Kiyoshi after all
>>289672891He is getting cushioned, must protect Kiyoshi at all cost
>>289673176My point is we know Kiyoshi is bottom tier of sales that don't get axed, but is there a lower number that won't? Kinato might be there, or might not.
>>289673595According to Shoseki's estimations for this 3rd week:U. E. Kiyoshi has sold +1.235 / 9.927 copies ( 2 CP promotional before the volume release)Kinato's Magic has sold +1.147 / 7.811 copies.( 0 CP and out of stock)Kinato sold a higher proportion than Kiyoshi; you just have to compare the Week 3 numbers.We’ll see next week how the scalpers handle this, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Kinato sold fewer units, given that it received no promotion and is practically considered cancelled.
>>289659688Wait is was prince originally?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5otYUHbaJX8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbSlpdM8nPo
>>289666223My impressions were the opposite, last chapter didn't feel like axe but this one did
>>289673870Can you tell me why? The last chapter had an abrupt cut from the festival to the invasion, with characters appearing randomly. In this one, besides half the chapter being dedicated to humor and contextualization, Kinato dismisses the fight against Noise, the other member of the trio doesn't even appear, and practically rules out any other plot involving the princess, since she must be far away. Some people said it's because everyone's going to the castle, but it's not like the dune is going to be the final makeshift village, We didn't even get any context about the ancient weapon.
>>289670200>whole volumeI give it 4 more chapters, epilogues, and one shot
>>289674240>Can you tell me why?Because of how quickly everyone is getting to the castle
>>289674402But actually reaching the castle wasn't really a challenge in itself; they only just realized they needed to go there. The only real obstacles were the crowd and the noise. I think it’ll take Talius and Juna a while to arrive, and Kaminagi and Olgen are wildcards—though I don't expect a fight with Dua; she isn't that strong. Maybe the author just wants to bring Kaminagi into the mix because of the knight theme and the fact that she’s been missing since Chapter 5. I really don't see Dua as a last-minute final boss. There's still Tavesti, who’s gone missing, but that doesn't change the setup much—unless their boss suddenly shows up out of nowhere.
>>289673737why the 3rd week specifically?
>>289675370Not them, but I think they're looking at the third week because for most of the second week, sales were limited due to stock shortages
>>289674240basically this>exactly like ah where the guy swung ouga to his final battle
Is another manga ending in the next 10 weeks that's not the bottom 2? If not then this manga is still in trouble once a new batch of three comes.
>>289657941KINATO WILL LIVE
>>289677325Sakadays is probably ending sooner rather than later. Other than that the other closest is Witch Watch but thats likely closer to next next batch at earliest
>>289677325Sakamoto Days should end under 7 chapters (to fill up volume 30). Hunter x Hunter will go back into hiatus in 5 chaptersDrawn to the Fire will probably get axed in a few chapters (its first volume was delayed)Canon Master and Hal Formula don't look hot, they could end up like Alien Headbutt where it got axed in chapter 16 So, those are like 5 series already (or 4 if you don't count HxH). If you want to count Bleach returning to the magazine, then there's still 3 series left to fill. Kinato is still fine.
>>289663942Can't unsee now.
>>289658111lol fuck off tirakai
>>289679753who?
>>289679931The doomfag from wsj.
>>289663942That meme was too stronk
>>289663942>>289680065
>>289678906It's saito, while I don't hate the doctor it's annoying the difference in treatment.
If this arc isn't the end, what would you guys like to see in Kinato?A bit generic for me, but I definitely am interested in the backstory for the creation of the Iron Fangs. We know that Jien, Olgen, and Talius were members of the Seraph wings beforehand, and it's likely Kaminagi was also considering the Iron Fang, since it isn't her first guild. I feel like it could be a cool mini arc at some point (though probably not right after this current arc)Also not my idea, but I remember somebody making an offhand comment about Kinato going to a beastfolk area and there being a cowgirl, and that would be awesome
>>289672098>but Jump axing too many seriesthe issue is that this is normal for Jump, they have always done that, except in the past we didn't experience it first hand, we only saw what was already proven to be popular. But thanks to official-online-first-day-translations we get to experience what Japanese have experienced for 50 years
Holy shit, there's really a guy botting kiyoshit every week and might not be the only onehttps://x.com/i/status/2081626106831261727
>>289680818It's Saito himself.
>>289680818He's voting for Kinato too, so this is acceptable
>>289680818Well, at least he votes for Kinato...
>>289680958>>289680987This, Kiyoshi is trash but at least Kinato can get some help
>>289680896>>289680958>He's voting for Kinato tooWelp, I guess it's not Saito after all.
>>289679951I'm ashamed of this but i browse /wsj/ almost every day and have never heard it mentioned even once, stop inventing new boogeyman every time.
>>289674319I'm gonna miss it
>>289681252Nah, it's that guy from MH. He replied the same thing in the forum.
>>289682799Monster hunter?
>>289680397I would like to see kaminagis recovery from homosexuality explored more, I don't actually want her to get with Kinato Terasu already won that one, but they could show Kinato being a gateway to finding another man
>>289657941Thank you for posting!
>>289677325The BB slot has been open since it ended. Sakamoto will naturally finish in about 4-6 chapters.HxH will finish its run in about 5 chapters as well; the last chapter Togashi posted that was completely finished was 423. Most likely they'll release 10 chapters like the other times, Then they'll release 10 more.WW is in the final stretch, but I think it will last another BatchA batch of 3 would also be quite likely, since we haven't had any this year yet. In short, he'll only cancel Kinato now if he wants (He really wants)In my opinion, if the work doesn't get a CP this week, it's over, even if it stays/rises in B3.
>>289686886(Me)A batch of 2* given that the only confirmed works that have opened up spaces are Sakamoto and BB.
