today was a good day

They are also using it to plug every other series releasing a volume with it, even sakamoto days lol

It might be in Mach/April.

BB covers have gone into full melt for 4 or 5 volumes now. No idea why.

Another Gakuro win

IMG_5385.png - 597x557, 313.25K

wdym by that

ill + cover

they are asking for another hiatus

Did they organize a meeting to come up with the most bland cover possible? How the fuck Is the possibile?
I say this as a UU fan: that's a shit cover

another

but... that's the reason for this one

There's promos for sakamoto days and astro royale

Also telling people to send fan letters to takeru and follow the official twitter

You need multiple new series to outsell kill blue first but I guess that's impossible for current Jump

I meant Ruri

cover+lcp

Well maybe if they will try to make him spam these he will be able to produce at least one good one.

using kgb to promote sakamoto days

How the mighty have fallen.

at the cost of the chapter itself lmao

R.I.P. ducky

The author doesn't decide the cover though?

join the hiatus club Takeru

02 (1).jpg - 784x1145, 196.75K

Worst UU cover by far

I don't care what you fags say, I liked the bonus chapter and Takeru does great SoL

If you actually liked it you would've posted it.

Hiatuskek…

Yes they do lmao, only Group cover is guided by jump

ntr manga top 1

it's over for this magazine

No, there was a whole thing with Horikoshi how they are basically told what to make even for individual covers

No, the covers are designed by jump, the lcp is free for the author but the cover design is enforced.

Doesn't Takeru himself want to make it look as great as possible while still matching editorial's description?
Question then why people in charge of them let other series WSJ covers (SD as a recent example) look various, neat and nice to look at while Kagurabachi's covers can easily pass for a regular color page, not even the good one.

No, author don't get to decide even individual covers

Ichi Top 5 streak
Say hi to Jump's savior

Are they axing Kiyoshi or not. I know sometimes they might give color pages 6 chapters before the axe but still. Do they want it to live until they see Vol 2 sales?

Cover art seems sketchier and less polished compared to other recent UU color illustrations, reminds me of early UU art.

i really miss the quality bb covers from the earlier volumes
the current ones are melting so much that might as well call it ai gen

Kiyoshi will live if Usui is up to do cover pages spam

Better cover than Weekly Gravure3dpd Sunday and Weekly Reuse Magazine.

This is the third cover SD ever got.
Now tell me how great it is and how it's not basically a cp.

two shojo manga in the top 5

shonen jump is never getting a manga that sells 300k per volume ever again

SD's cover looks just as generic

Kiyoshi and Shinobi are UU and yoza replacements in the EXISTS tier

dies

takeru starts dying

why does Sunday do gravure? aren't most of their readers kids and women? they have the most female readers than any other magazine, except for modern day jump apparently

Dude held out until the samura cliffhanger at least even if he was dying.

astro (nepotism) is the uu replacement

Shinobi ToC shits on Yozakura

im such a happy cuck smile

/dbs/ destroyed my mind

Shinobigoto is just sakamoto days but with an insufferable cast that you wish they could all get murdered in each chapter, specially the girl they are supposed to protect, she is such an annoying piece of shit

5 ・ Shinobi Undercover ・ CHAPTER 4: THE JOY OF CLUBS

people actually like this crap?

Shinobi is the kb replacement after it gets axed with hakutaku.

issue 40

issue 46

issue 1

it was fun, takeru

another one.png - 785x609, 375.98K

I'm not sure how they will even manage to stretch Kiyoshi, it started as something borderline plotless. I guess introducing a human big bad group and then just slowly going through them?

The same way stuff like mashle gets extended, countless fodder enemy groups.

himaten first

based as fuck although I only care about the manga when there's Kanna the big milker

KGB leaks

I would prefer if Nue or Kb got the cover instead of seeing Jump kill Hokazono like thidñs

even if the whole story only lasts 100 chapters it has better potential for good sales than kill blue and nue

Doubt about KB, UU and Yoza have 1 volume worth of chapters left.

Then how come it never beat kill blue once in shoseki?

I guess it's tradition? Both WSM and Sunday seem to have a slight older audience than WSJ, so a gravure cover isn't that weird

the only reason I like Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi is because although the story has no plot the characters, dialogues, pacing, narrative, and artstyle are top notch, shonen jump should make a deal with the mangaka, we axe Kiyoshi's full potential, but in exchange we give you the Astro Royale, Ichi the Witch, Kill Blue treatment, make your passion project and we will let you stay alive as long as it doesn't drop below 20k in sales

because it is an exorcist manga by a new mangaka without any fans, the Oda recomendation can only do so much, the first volume is really good tho, I hope the kids spread the word that it is good

Bleach route, introduce the demon realm and their version of Espadas. Throw in a princess rescue arc or two.

I do.

Japanese are subhuman

Kill Blue keeps free falling in sales while Kiyoshi is barely selling worse than it in its first volume, you would expect the second volume of Kiyoshi to do better than Kill Blue

What a shitty chapter lmaooo

It's the third time this week I hear how Mashle was heavily artificially extended. Did mangaka want it to be a short manga? Like, CSM Part 1 short?

females have incredibly shit taste

Kill blue sell 19k
Kiyoshi sold 11k, barely above Chojun

"chapter"

post a manga page to prove his manga is good

what am I supposed to look here anon?

KB used to do at least 25k a month.

kill blue is in 17k don't lie subhuman

Shinobigoto is just dogshit version of sakamoto days anyway

I don't expect KB sales to drop too much from previous volume in monthly shoseki.

Takeru is getting another two covers at once

Are the other series this fucking dead that they all getting hard carried by KGB?

Takeru is getting another two covers at once

Huh? It's just the cover for Issue 1, is it not?

KGB? Lost.
Lmao imagine being a fan of this fag. First you get shit art, then you get panel reuse, then you finally get "bonus" chapters lmao.
I bet the "lcp" is just gonna be red and black again.

They should just risk it and give ichi a cover + advertise it on tv before the first volume. Doesn't hurt to try again.

It was at 18k on weekly shoseki retard

kgb has shit art, I refuse to read those scribbles just as I refuse to read oda's crime against drawing

Maybe they should do something interesting with covers again? Like, one artist drawing a group cover for all current WSJ protagonists.

a bunch of series dont even have antagonists yet

Fuck it just put the mangakas in the cover, oh wait I forgot modern day mangaka are a bunch of shut in losers who have a panic attack if they show their face in public
Meanwhile look at this chads

shout out to the guy dressed as a cow

i wonder if the cowman was the cp guy back then

This dudes FUCK and you can tell, you really think the kagurabachi author has ever spoken to a woman that's not his mom or the clerk at a store?

He literally hides his face behind masks to avoid having to pay child support

His description by his uni friends is

outgoing chad who is the moodmaker at parties

He's waiting to pull an Oda and marry a Hiyuki cosplayer

i wonder if there's a hierarchy with the suit colors they're wearing

yes, they are, Kagurabachi is the best selling manga of the new generation with 150k

Blue Box also sells 150k but it has a fucking anime ongoing so that's literally its ceiling, say hello to the new pillar of weekly shonen jump

never happening because shonen jump doesn't want to make Iruma popular by making Nishi popular, they will wait until it gets an anime to start riding it, I bet Ichi is selling around 50k on its first volume, if it is a 100k seller on its first volume it will be a loss for shonen jump, why? because it will make a huge buzz in the manga industry and it will make Nishi popular, making Iruma popular

why is Iruma getting popular such a bad thing? because it is the best manga of the post pillar era and the oy reason it is not more popular is because it is a shonen champion manga and barely nobody buys their shit, it is impressive, Iruma could have easily became the new flagship anime for Toei but their loyalty to jump stops them from overtaking the market, now bandai has the advantage and the fourth season is coming out next year

shonen jump doesn't want to make Iruma popular by making Nishi popular,

too late, all the comments about Ichi talk about Iruma

Who is the bachi guy love interest?

oh wait I forgot modern day mangaka are a bunch of shut in losers who have a panic attack if they show their face in public

Look what site you're posting on dumbass
Privacy for me but not for thee

I'd say that's just showing it has no fans beyond Iruma fans.

Kgb is already dying

No wonder the plot is way worse now, the hype didn’t even lasted a year

N/A but it unironically might be Hakuri, there's still 0 real explanation for him reeking of Chihiro

Blue Box also sells 150k but it has a fucking anime ongoing so that's literally its ceiling

isn't the upcoming volume going to be its first volume that goes on sale during the anime though?

never happening because shonen jump doesn't want to make Iruma popular by making Nishi popular,

You're a retard.

if it sells half of iruma that turns into a big success

Not even mafia sells half of iruma, and that should be a 1:1.

Last volume was. BB was stagnate at 100-110k but the anime broke it through 130k

Iruma could have easily became the new flagship anime for Toei but their loyalty to jump stops them from overtaking the market, now bandai has the advantage

Relax iruma is not that big. Also rundown on the toei thing?

nips are dooming about and booing kagurabachi for copy pasta frenzy and now hiatus

Kek

Doesn't have one yet, one might show up later tho, it took a while for Kanao to appear in kimetsu.
Either that or they commit to making it a full homo manga like jujutsu.

not in japan, most of the people reading Ichi the Witch are Act Age fags and women with zero idea of anything happening around them, Nishi doesn't even appear in any promotion of it, but her name will appear in the manga volume and if it sells 100k even if it is only Iruma fans buying it it will make a huge buzz and a lot of japanese will try to look at what it is all about, then look at the name of Nishi and say "who is this mangaka? what has she worked on previously? what is this "Mairimashita! Iruma-kun" thing?" boom it will create a chain reaction that won't be stopped, I at first didn't believe the rumors of how good Iruma is, it is that good

That's the previous volume that went on sale just when the anime started.

Please take your meds.

Okay yeah this is clearly a falseflag.

Iruma only sells 150k per volume at best

goes on sale during the anime

volume 17 went on sale almost the same day as the anime premiere

BRO KGB NEXT BIG THING

Author burns out before 100 chapter

Kagurabachi is definitely gonna go through freefall lmao

Iruma is not that big

that's what I mean, it is not a big series by any means, but its quality is bigger than all the other anime released today, it is better than JJK and KnY, it is better than Chainsawman, better than dandadan, but nobody reads it or watched the anime, nobody cared about it when it first came out, the only people that watched the potential was Bandai, and yet still, since it comes from such a niche editorial it is still not as popular as it should be, I am talking about something as bug as Blue Lock right now, it is that good

Now that's the worst attempt at shilling I've ever seen.

Yeah and it had an affect, Blue Box was stagnant for a very long time up to that point

ugly finger

Can't believe Nue used to have shooters in this threads...

Posting your face irl as the mangaka of the most popular magazine - dominated by mentally ill women - is a good way to get yourself killed before they finished their manga.

day one kagurabachi enjoyer

pic

they were all brazilians, not a single japanese cared and to show you that your other two pics are absolute dogshit not even urasunday would publish, himaten makes nisekoi look like the excellence of comic literature and shinobigoto is full of annoying castrating characters with zero redeeming qualities, the protagonist is Deku but worse, the feMC insufferable and annoying, the other two characters are barely characters, it is shit

Ichi the Witcher

Delicious tears

le only Brazil liked it

300k on J+ week one. Shut it fatty.

Kgb dead

Save the Shonen jump

IMG_5340.jpg - 2600x1080, 708.74K

this is the thing anon, back in the day shonen jump was read by shonen, not by females and trannies with dogshit taste

I would suck and fuck Takeru's rotten corpse if he didn't make it out alive.

Every single one of those views? Brazilian

enjoy the death of shonen jump faggot

I don't get it - don't authors make chapters in advance? I thought Takeru had at least few more ready chapters just in case of burnout or illness.

they also make covers in advance and volume illustrations and extras

Since next issue is #1, it's probably deliberate putting padding so next issue will be outstanding

The last two weeks were that.
Seems he's been ill for a while if he had to settle for an extra.

Anon...your reading comprehension...

Terasaka-sama!

finally... brazilian cope

This, but with Akutami Gege

KGN on J+ soon

This, but with Aqua - a fictional character written by Red Akasaka

cowering in fear of fat smelly fujos who are not even the target audience for the magazine

is truly over for Japan...

He cosplayed as female character from his series btw

I'm sorry! I had to take a break this week. Drawing a Sojo side chapter healed me

Bug Ego was better than anything SJ put up in this decade

more or less managed to reach the first climax of the arc in time for the cover.

drawing Sojo naked for rehab

I don't mind having bonus(pseudo cooldown chapter).
more filler episode materials for Pierrot.

i can't draw the main story, I liked to draw sojo in the bath instead

Ahahah
This won't go well with WSJ fags

MH is mocking Kgb author for taking a break

Hype is really dead lmao

shonen jump looks their sales going down with every year and they don't stop to think, maybe we should stop pandering to fujos, that being said barely any kids are left in japan and they have to pander to older people around 25 years of age

this may sound suicidal and I don't want japan to get westernized, but just pander to the brazilians now, look at what we are excited about and shill that to the fujo retards who will eat anything popular in the magazine

we have shittier taste than japanese men but we definitively have better taste than any female will ever have

Pushing the Pierrot Bachi agenda

give up and accept your crappa overlords already

This, i need Souya SoL with his little brother bonus chapter as well.
bonus chapter will only be adored by fujo horde.

AHAHAHA
Was all the panel reuse the same excuse?

I swear people wouldnt survive a shinigami subtitute arc nowadays

It reads like something brasilbro would write in another of his tweetlongers.

Pretty sure it's just the people who want KGB out of the way thinking it'll lead their pet series to victory.

Shindo escaped the weekly grind while getting the benefits of being published along One Piece then comes back with a flexible biweekly schedule

he won so hard...

People fight leak

the few teenage boys that remain are spending all their money in live service games, gacha and vtubers anyway

vtubers

gacha

society has collapsed

Shitnuki is shitting on it lmao

This nigga gay as fuck

well yes he was literally a tranny camwhore

Yaay!! Its been a while since we had mangahelpers gossip!

HOLY SHIT PEOPLE FIGHT... IN A PRISON???
THIS WEEK'S SAKAMOTO IS CRAZY

I'm not even kidding, it's a legitimate problem and one of the factors of why the sales of all otaku related physical media has declined so much

Now, watch when its fm sales drop. Chojo was shilled as "high popularity" too

Kek just last week Shitnuki was crying and begging Nue to get a cover and now he's shitting on Hokazono for getting one

M-muh Saito is ruining the newbies health!

MH getting the last laugh at kgb wasn’t on my bingo

Big difference because Ichi is popular everywhere, Chojo was clearly pushed

so ill he's making half chapters barely a year into serialisation

fuck, he is just gege 2.0 isn't he?

Better than troons from kgb discord posting here

you're assuming they're not the same?

so his normal workload when you take out the reused panels lmao

I can wait for sharkbait's opinion!!

so in order for something to get popular now it needs to be an anime in an streaming app like netflix, this explains why modern day manga has nowhere else seen peaks in popularity after the anime airs, youngsters don't have time to read books but they have time to watch anime in their phones, after they watch something they like they buy the manga

force volume work, cp and cover on the author while he's kinda ill

Not helping, probably forced himself to reach the last chapter as a stopping point.

We're occupied MH, Discord and Anon Babble.

I told you, Hokazono was the worst Mangaka in SJ currently, he keep copy pasting panel everytime

take a break on the series' biggest cliffhanger yet

hopefully there aren't a ton of reused panels next chapter

Kgbfag literally come from Reddit, it’s well known already

Nurturing New Talent is Fine, but not against Jump semi plundering authors from series as writers and have someone else as artist

chapter 53 is over a year, and he has done 9 Color Pages AND 3 Lead Color Pages

They probably want to wait until volume 1 is out for an ichi cover

He's gotten himself more CPs and Cover more than Suzuki in a single year.
jump is psycho desu.

Hokazono is Gege but worse

If he had a whole week of break, I'm guessing it will be the normal stuff without reuse spam.

Brazilian cope was real

Kek

this explains why Tougen Anki sells like shit but the anime announcement is more popular than the one for Sakamoto Days among the japanese

anime has always been a way to promote a manga, at least since the Hokuto no Ken days, but now anime is GOD, in order to become popular you need to get an anime

dude is overworking himself.

yes, check his old one-shot.
he spent his time detailing the katana.

Sales are dropping

The Author is dying

Story became boring

In the span of a year

What went wrong?

9 Color Pages AND 3 Lead Color Pages

How far above the average is that?

Shueisha will ensure Takeru becomes a sickly man in constant pain like the rest of their mangaka
It is tradition after all

Yep, the way he draws them really feels like his boner is guiding him.

A 13k seller is ranked first. Imagine still taking ToC as an objective measure.

It’s me or Kgbfag got chased out this thread? They seem quiet all of a sudden

in amazon when you try to buy a Kagurabachi volume it appears that the people that usually buy Kagurabachi also buy the volumes of Gachiakuta

how many of you have read Gachiakuta?

how many of you have read Gachiakuta?

Plot is weird but author is the true heir to Okubo Style

As of Issue 1 2025, of the last 14 issues 3 issues would have Kagurabachi as the LCP and Cover not even JJK had that many in such a short time. Why are people acting like he's just taking it easy even Akane's artist complained about colored work and they share the responsibility of making the series with someone else.

This shit is fire yo.

Ubel Blatt is the only that can generate some buzz from those

JJK only has like two arcs after the shibuya one, the one before the Gojo vs sukuna, and the gojo vs sukuna arc which is the final one, all that can be animated in 25 episodes

It's because all the complaining is just excuse to shit on KGB anon

its all possible excuses and reasons (of course exclusive to him), but not Takeru being a slow shitter himself

Do you really need to cope here on top of doing the same in the kgb discord, the most bootlicker friendly place around?

Not to mention he's basically had some kinda of color page nearly every 3 chapters, not just the 3 cover+lcps

I've been reading it weekly along with Ranger Reject, mao, frieren and kaihen.

if all they have is vets, newbies are putting up shit like kiyoshi and hakutaku might as well make J+ the main magazinr where all the newbies prefer debutting

b-but it needs series like Ruri which are wsj

yeah and Shindo was smart

Prease understandu, making color pages and not reusing shit ton of panels every chapter is a thing unheard of in Jump. Surely shit ton of other popular artists managed to do that but they weren't the genius Takeru is either.

kgbfags WANT to kill their author

lmao

you haven't read a single page of Gachiakuta

fotm anime already forgotten

no one cares about the manga

lives only through coomer fanart and thots "cosplays"

get the fuck out of here

Elusive is pretty interesting because it's rankings were so bad earlier in the year now it's in the top third ranking wise of the magazine. It literally spent multiple chapters one spot above bot 5 or 6 for the longest guess that clover works adaptation did wonders. It was a good one imo, horses notwithstanding.

Frieren is anime of the year tho

Takeru has connection with Momiyama. He can leave if he wants.

Ok, explain the heavens to me, the guardian and some inconsistencies on the rule of Jinki like the Paintbrush.

BASED FRIEREN
GREAT ART AND HEALTHY BREAKS

Why are you describing all 19 nu kekmagazine series anon?

great art

the author doesnt know how to draw expressions besides autistic stoic face

You don't like Frieren otherwise you would never criticize it other for absentee shit. Frieren is a borderline triweekly manga nowadays as well. Which I'm assuming is because of the anime adaptation work but for a duo project I'm surprised how often Frieren doesn't get chapters like it's still sub 200 chapters total despite being like well over 5 years old.

Taking issue 30 2024 to issue 1 2025
Yeah, Kagurabachi has done the most color page work with 3 LCP and 4 CP
Also

tons of mangaka reuse shit

Stop acting like he's the only one that does just cause you don't like him

No need to throw your tantrum to wss.
Just focus on your kekmagazine that will sell 0 copy this week because piss is in hiatus.

UU is a borderline toxic brand for WSJ at this point. Anime not boosting manga sales is a very bad sign. You have an extremely niche topic manga like Orb getting anime boost but UU is supposed to be something from the best selling weekly magazine.

Because orb is a good, (actually respected) award winning manga.
UU is UU.

Actually sells well internationallybachi.

12.57 Kill Blue

13.67 Hakutaku

Just kill Kill BLue already

[0] weeks since UU made salesfags seethe

It's got one volume left at best, no need to be so butthurt about it now

it's official. SEA acknowledged it as pillar.
Global South has united.

Indonesian version is also coming next year

And it had to rush through the end.
Yoza and UU are truly night and day.

author

imagine being this much of an ignoramus.

Whatever, Kiyoshi is getting a cp to start a new arc.
That means it's alive for a while and jump has (some) trust placed on it. has been avoiding bot 5 ever since it went on sale, which is pretty nice.

Nue CP ranked below Roboco's

Retards keep doubting oda protection
In truth Saito probably can't justify a Kiyoshi axe at the moment because it's selling way too close to Himaten which he has been actively pushing

kill blue cp in bot 5

astro cp just above that

nue ditto

They literaly couldn't place any lower.

BEAT THE U37 ALLEGATIONS, KINOSHIIIIIIIIIII!

It can only grow from here. Kiyoshi is picking up pace SOON

ANOTHER Kiyoshi CP

Annnnd Oda puts his thumb on the scale

oda comes back

decides to murder hokazono and shill kiyoshi

Weekly nepotism jump

Do you miss nakano yet ? at least he axed everything that had a shitty ranking.

series he doesn't want to axe despite doing like shit get artificially good rankings

How was that any better?

axed everything that had a shitty ranking.

UU survived for nearly half a decade

Cover & LCP: Kagurabachi

CP: BLEAK Box; AKINO-BaNINO; Ultimate Exorcist KINOshi

Legendary lineup right here.

UU is doing better than the new series for its survival

Himaten getting #1 with absoulute garbage sales

femc: Akane

cuck mc: kiyoshi

BVLL: chihiro

Différent genre, just like a comedy doing 15k is now good in jump

Romcoms in jump used to do good, you know, they don't get gag protection just like shonen doesn't.
Look at bb, 100k right off the bat.

I know about the gags, but how much does a romcom have to sell for minimums?

bottom 3

IMG_5393.jpg - 482x513, 59.78K

UU had okay sales and bad rankings, bad sales and okay rankings, or bad sales, bad rankings and anime protection

It’s hard to tell because Jump didn’t got a “true“ romcom since age, even BB is actually a sport romance series unlike Himaten who is only a romcom

Nice to see the artist still around

I don't really wish for any manga to be axed, but I find it somewhat funny how /wsj/ had a sudden boner about Saito bringing back U19 only for him to possibly be as lenient as Nakano (if not more).

Dandadan won.
Great Art and the artist knows when to take a break.
He doesn't do shit like reuse panels.

he thinks he knows how color page works

Thank this fucking idiot for that. Also thank him for Nue not being even lower than it is.

Color pages are ranked in order of importance.

The Good, the Ugly, and the Ugly.

...only to be axed at 42.

he still thinks he knows how color pages works

They are strictly placed in the order of how jump wants to promote the series in question.

Double Oda nepotism mamma mia.

DIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

he doubleposts because he thinks he knows how colorpages work

Can't hear you over your whining bitch.
Maybe you should be thankful, because he hid the fact your author is a wimp.

CP importance is only relevant compared to other color pages, there is zero point in comparing a CP with a normally ranked serie

doesn't know how color pages work

is also a schizo

I cannot even tell what is getting axed at this point. Is it doable to finish UU withing 8 chapters?

rush the rest of the bosses

have soul die in one chapter

a couple to deal with sun and luna

epilogue

Yes.

doesn't know how color pages work

is also a retard

Nothing but Hakutaku get the axe
Kill blue and Chojo clearly deserve it but UU and Yoza are ending too so they live a bit more

Chojo has 40 chapters. Will it get anni cover protection?

I swear if they already greenlit Kill Blue anime...

kill off all the antags you took 100 chapters setting up in 20 pages

it's ending in a few weeks

Defend to 20.0

IMG_4157.jpg - 1061x580, 273.92K

It’s bottom 1 with 18k sales and still not axed, there is obviously some anime stuff involved

Kill Blue gets an anime adaption

turns out to be a hit, against all odds

starts ranking on top of ToC again

Imagine the seethe.

kb_v1_.jpg - 667x1000, 346.41K

I pray god we get someday Kill blue circulation number

kill blue's circulation numbers

nue's circulation numbers

one piece's actually sold volumes

Top 3 things jump doesn't want you to know right now.

Where the CPs?

kgb gets 5 billion circulation updates

meanwhile nue and kb haven't had 1 between them

fujimaki is planning a hit on hokazono as we speak
imagine going from a hit like kuroko's to the magazine's punching bag in both rxl and kb

>nue's circulation numbers

didn't someone said that it sold 1m digital copies before kgb did thanks to the cafe?

I know autism is a real thing, but that was a joke.
If either nue or kill blue had over a million in circulation jump would have said so because at the very least it's implying they do over 100k/volume somehow.

bring back the trio alliance.
Will it be

U.K.A

U.A.K

K.A.U

K.U.A

A.K.U

your choice. I personally chose A.k.u because it sounds cooler.

b-b-but trio alliance only work if they are from the same timeframe!!!!

bring back the trio alliance.

He doesn't need to, Hokazono is already dying.

What happened to Astro Kiyoshi Kgb alliance ?

It will reach 2 million digital copies with NueLand next year after NueCafe

Astro

Never

Kiyoshi and KGB alliance still exists, asstro was never part of it

salestrannies went from "Jump is not promoting Kagurabachi enough with the rank and color pages" to "Jump killed another author's health from overwork"

Them being usually NEET made it more hilarious

Why is Astro not as popular as Kiyoshi here? I think Kiyoshi is just so-so.

The main antagonist has always been Sol and Luna, not the jobber squad known as the Master Rules.

Because astro doesn't even reach so-so.

There's a definite middle ground to be had between literally nothing and 3 LCPs in 3 months on top of normal color pages

KGB don’t get promoted enough!

Promote it more

The author die

Kek

the jobber squad known as the Master Rules.

I don't read UU but this is the one thing I don't understand about the doomposting. Has there ever been a big group of extremely powerful enemies right before the final boss fight that didn't turn out to be massive shitters?

There's a definite middle ground to be h-ACK

There's a difference when the 2 weakest ones got 6 chapter fights and another 4 just got one shot in 1 chapter

There also was clear character buildup that just got completely ignored

Sowing vs Reaping

i hope hokazono dies from this, for real.

Them being usually NEET

This is the problem. None of them exercise and shit. Like not even daily walk or something

It's one thing to spend 6 chapters against a single major threat, you can't do that against a whole group of them without it dragging on for everyone, especially on the climax when the focus should be on the final boss. At worst this sounds like poor planning from the author.

Main issue is that he established two of them as mega threats and fodderized the rest after having proper set up.
The actual issue is the recruitment arc that killed the manga by going on forever.

The last 12 issues only has 2 Kagurabachi LCP and one CP.
This is the same topic as Ruri or when Miura died, people trying to act as they know shit about the industry

has to say 12 because if he said 13 it'd be THREE lcps and one cp

That hasn't happened as of recently for most bottom of the barrel jump Manga

Mah wife...

IMG_2055.jpg - 1830x2048, 436.47K

12 issues is 3 months ...

Not necessarily.
Kagurabachi got its first cover on september 2.
Next one will be on december 2. Exactly three months in between covers, and got another cover and a cp in between.

90% of the thread is the same three fags crying about KGB/Takeru

So basically, Takeru won?

I dont care until he does a color page of Char. Fucker had all the time in the world and still hasn't done it yet.

There are the discord user
They are right now talking about the 3 lcp in 13 weeks too

Meds

Based Weekly Romance Jump.

Jump's Uncrowned King

Gate Keeper of the Hall of Greats

1 of the only 3 Manga of this Generation who's on 100M Club

CSM, Black Clover,Oshinoko,Blue Lock and Kaiju 8 are all fraud compere to MHA.

unable to get a single 1 million first print through its lifetime

What a blunder.

¡nué mierdamente perdido

goatba.png - 1844x1858, 1.2M

100M seller

That's blunder alright. God I want that blunder too.

half of it from overseas

Yes, blunder.

money is money, man

Some that's a demerit

Give some of those demerit too

I mean, they could've just given him 1 week off no? Which wouldn't be off, he'd just have to catch up on work (volume redraws, color pages and so on) and he'd be good for a couple months at the very least.

Drawing sojo naked doing random shit is like a vacation.

need Sazanami family beach chapter next time.

takeru has 80 year old granny twig hands? this is your goat? KEKAROO

my fraud academia had forty volumes to reach 1m fm once and never did it

Why didn't the capeshit craze work?

1700070389563.jpg - 490x318, 30.08K

Does it look really bad when a manga with no anime is the only other best seller of the current magazine?

declined so hard it became unable to reach it fm

You're not one to talk cogji.

tfw the first thing nips compare onk's ending to is jjk because they give off the exact same axed feel

Gondaira has like 30 color pages and never got a break
I get being mad at the editor denying Blue Box to not being on a break , but the Hokazono's health being Jump fault' is a dumb take

No but

your best sellers are two series with anime and one of them is basically monthly

Yes.

How come my fraud academia never reach 1m tho?

Why is the MHAfag getting uppity

MHA is a weird case that not selling at peak as much as Jujutsu or Assclass but never got a fall in sales like CSM or Toriko

It was shit.
Same as jjk but it took gojo's death for fujos and yumes to flee.

the heart? a permanent stain on kubos legacy of course!
reusing 15+ panels for multiple chapters in a row and then throwing in the towel submitting 11 page chicken scratch filler, only one year in? pray for takeru, he is being overworked to the point of illness, wsj is literally the devil and takeru is struggling with this immense schedule!

? UU has a dedicated fanbase, decent sales for WSJ today's standards, decent merch sales, a project coming out and won an award.
What exactly is toxic about it? It's not like the WSJ has anything to replace it with nor it can survive constantly axing series, especially now that it has 1 really big hitter left

The eternal 2nd place

It does. The current problem WSJ has right now is that there's no MHA/JJK double duty when OP feels too overwhelming as it is. KGB fills the void but that's only one. SD has the potential but it's looking grim.
Blue Box is only what you expect from the content alone. We don't talk about UU

decent sales for WSJ today's standards

Literally the lowest selling series with an anime (roboco excluded)

decent merch sales

Prove it.

Nobody cared enough about the master rules to be anything other than fodders to something that was established as such very early on. Besides, all the characters moments were in the recruitment arc (which, I'll give you, lasted way too long)

Sakamoto getting subpar action when the action is the only highlight of the series is foul. It doesn't have the characters that are appealing enough for people to stay interested

Nobody cared enough about the master rules

Meanwhile, the actual manga

leave billy to me, war!

leave gina to me, change!

luck and death literally exist as a parallel to undead unluck

But sure, this was always the plan and was never rushed.

Shut up cuckuro

1556843.jpg - 507x385, 43.66K

You'd be surprised at the size of its female fanbase, bitches love nagumo and shishiba (and they fucked up their casting)

i liked cooldown chapter that focus on previous villians that revolves around cynical humor and explore their consciousness, while still reminds you how twisted they are.
Hokazono should use this as an excuse to take a breal instead of ghosting his fans like Oda, Gege and Hori.
The assistants should work harder than authors to spread the damage equally so nobody suffers greater than the healthies

Gina and Feng got their chapter though.
And Billy Half of a chapter. Andy's ex was the one fucked
Not defending the Rush but UU is a 700 shonenshit series compresed into on 200-250 chapter

Nobody of the readers cared enough.
Unjustice being super OP even for the master rules was set-up very early on, so the fight might have been rushed, but as far as not being planned...

Jump should just give him a break if they want him to do a cover, simple as.

Send your fan letter to him. Anyone in JP should just cheer him up with this advice.

Is bonus chapter just an equivalent of X chapter in J+?

doing stuff like this before it becomes an anime

It's like a bad omen.

I see the vision with UFO now

It definitely looks cool but doing this without an anime feels kinda......

I just see jc staff there

Nue anime confirmed

Will they send him to another magazine like World Trigger or make the series bi-weekly in a weekly magazine like Frieren?

Yes. Hokazono picked up that 10 pages gag duty left by Murakami.

JC Staff, A1, or Silver Link

His break week is just shitting out SoL chapter with gorgeous backgrounds by assistants

A bit too Bakugo looking there, Gakuro.

I can see Ufo doing it now

Complete forgot that CSM vol 19 is December. means it KGB vs MHA vs CSM this this December.

Ufo isn't picking another WSJ manga before they are finished with KnY. I wish people understood that.

Looks more like Fatgum with the black markings on his face

Kgb

Get that 100k slop out lmao

It's MHA>>CSM>KGB
CSM can't possibly decline any further.

Last csm barely did 200k...

kgbfag coping and seething that their glorious leader is shit

So basically, Takeru lost?

What is KGB even doing there? It will be MHA>>CSM>>KGB

Nue by bones here we go

People will definitely get the wrong idea if this doesn't get an anime.

It's natural for a son to resemble his mom, anon.

MHA will do like 600k
CSM 200k
KGB around 145k

Are the other CPs out yet?

Another day another Nue win

IMG_4516.jpg - 605x990, 201.55K

It would be funny if this was a stealth anime announcement.

astro doesn't have jack joe

ufo anime soon

I mean. There's enough chapters for two cours, right? I don't read Nue though

reminded me of code breaker. Sure, it's a good strategy but having a well-rested week would be more sufficient.

they're all out, but the rest are boring

MWvXISM.jpg - 739x1142, 264.19K

roboco if she kill blue

Because Wakui is a bad fit for WSJ type of battle shounen, Kiyoshi has better artstyle than Astro and unironically better delinquent-like designs.

spam CPs until you get an anime

worked for Yozakura

Permanent residence in the bottom 5

Declining sales

Only gets color pages because the author has a colorist friend

He thinks it'll get an anime

UU and Yoza also got anime

friend

Anon, he pays the colorist.

it may get an aanime but it'll be an Undead Unluck level embarrassment , atleast some instagram sluts might cosplay nue

You will get a Nue anime and you will be happy about it

You never know how boost and anime success work, maybe nue will work fine we never know

I'll be happy to ignore it, like UU and yozafam's

This isn't the usual colorist, right?
It's straight up anime visuals

It's easy
Popular series=chance to blow up
Unpopular series=won't blow up
Unless its CGDCT

yeah
looks like from ufo themselves
nue ufo anime soon

1 ・ Hima-Ten! ・ No. 13: Study Group

Wow damn it seems Jump is going strong on the romcoms and since a bunch ended this year it might be for the best
Kill Blue really was the new Ichinose in the end.

Ichinose would have been saved if at least had been as interesting early on as takopi before its ending.

It's definitely not the colorist that Kawae hired. I wonder what's the catch here.

kb was the nue ichinose

ichinose is the new ichinose, anon
it ended not long ago

Hokazono can shit out 11 pages of chibi Chihiro and Hakuri talking together and fujo will still buy WSJ like ordinary.
It's a good way to bait buyers and signal readers that author is ill.

It depend if how it’s adapted, bocchi was for exemple completely unpopular before anime came
It’s all depend of many stuff, many time the success come from unknown variables

1 ・ Hima-Ten! ・ No. 13: Study Group

2 ・ Blue Box ・ #167: If It's Not Too Late

obvious romcom shilling by saito

Or, you know, colorists can do several styles.

Maybe he did it himself this time

OP by Fripside

ED by Mami Kawada

I remember people calling Kill Blue the new hot shit in town over Nue but it always seemed overhyped to me since the premise could never work out in the long term. I was proven right.
Albeit I haven't followed those threads in ages so what do I know lol. Maybe now that it's romcom jump as I wanted there's a reason to follow it.

ongod i need that himaten leak

At the very least, BB is the second-third best selling series in the magazine and the anime has a good reception.
Himaten is plain shilling and shinobi isn't hated in nipland. May as well complain about the blatant ichi shilling too.

im fine with ichi shilling since it's not a romcom

BB is dogass compared to Himaten, the only cute girl got rejected 2 years ago and just sticks around to be treated as a sandbag by the author, threads died back then as a result

newfag has never heard of quality adaptations

They can also put in some fanservice filler episodes. It wouldn't look off with Nue.

Come on anon, name them, name all those extremely unpopular <20k sellers that blew up super hard with an anime (CGDCT nonwithstanding because that's a whole different beast).

Could you post the UU ones?

It doesn't look like an anime at all. What are you idiots talking about?

As opposed to himaten threads where the only three posters are nisekoifags desperate to relive the waifu war

Bocchi the rock anon

If you check jajanken you'll see that KGB and TES spent a lot of their time during Nakano's era (sep23-jun24) at the bottom half next to each other, until Saito took charge and began to randomize the ToC. They are brothers in arms.

I don't know what part of

CGDCT nonwithstanding

You don't get. Anything that is just a bunch of cute girls and some hobby is different.

Sure, man.

vxxtBu5.jpg - 750x530, 175.46K

Re fucking Zero.

Appreciate it anon

You mean the extremely popular LN, that re zero?

Himaten has an appeal BB will never get

Yes

Idk why you want to exclude it, it was unpopular and became a gigahit after anime.
If your adaptation is good, success will come

Because it's the same as k-on or the many, many series that are just cute girls and their hobbies.
That's why I'm excluding them, because they are their own thing with their extremely specific fanbase which doesn't apply to any other genre.

sells 13k

Quite literally the opposite of appeal

extremely popular

in 2014? hell no.

Exactly what compelled them to choose this one anyways?
Mushoku Tensei at 1st place and Death March at 6th seem like a way better choice.
This was one of the reactions to it coming out.
So yes, it was an extremely unpopular light novel that blew up with an anime

But not all of them are successful tho
Anyway I don’t wanna argue about nue of all things, but I’m sure success can’t be easily predicted, it depend if the adaptation imo

you are comparing ln sales of the time to manga sales of the time. for ln sales it was massive. it even massively outsold zero no tsukaima iirc, which was its inspiration in the first place

No anime

Expects it to sell at astroturfed levels from the start

KEK

i cant see nue blowing up whatsoever

I say top 3, but that's because Your Name was number 1.
Hell guess what? There's another series that blew up during that time: Konosuba.

i cant see nue blowing up whatsoever

it will with the promised ufo anime adaptation

i made that comment up, and was not the original poster in the first place. interesting info you posted here, never realised rezero bombed that hard, but at least the production committee understood it was a cut above the znt/mt isekai copies with its adaptation

Me too but your never know, harem stuff can easily take over stuff

Yeah Saito was pretty retarded

So yes, that anon is very wrong :-)
