No WSJ this week but let's have a bottom of ToC thread anyway.
Who will survive? Who will get the axe? Who will transfer? Who will enter the U19 club next?
Axebait Thread
Wizard Naruto will probably get axed soon since the sales are dropping
Mitama is sadly going to be next. I think it has 2 more chapters until the next volume is full so get ready for the news.
Guardian of the Witch has some good moments but it will last only 3 tanks
As for the comedy, who knows, the are fucking 3 of them, 4 if you count Yozakura
I think that we'll know Mitama's fate next week, because that would be the last chapter of volume 4.
Mashle is shit but nips like it, AB is not popular with magazine readers but it's selling decently, Moriking is too young to tell
The first chapter of Moriking was actually decent. I thought you were all memeing but I enjoyed it
UU sold around 13k and was advertised by Isayama on his blog, so it's 100% safe.
Mitama(or maybe Yozakura, i honestly can't remember) and Aggravity are not too far behind, surprisingly, so those are safe for the time being too. There were some info in the last Oricon thread.
No info about Guardian of the witch nor Mashle, afaik.
Hilariously enough, Squid8 will have a crossover chapter with Boruto.
Mitama is either getting axed in the next 3 chapters, or it'll live at least as long as Samon. Screencap this
When is GoTW 1st volume releasing? That would give a good indication
Eh I wouldn't say it's 100% safe at all, those numbers are worse than even act age and the rankings aren't great but maybe Gina's arc and hopefully the worldbuilding part can turn it around. Definitely won't get the axe this round though, but I'm mad jump didn't even see fitting to give it ONE color page to advertise the volume despite anticipating the release due to "high demand".
GotW is guaranteed dead, how soon merely depends on how much space they need in the magazine
I thought mitama would die for sure but the fact that the rankings somehow keep managing to avoid clear axebait tier has me hopeful
>advertised by Isayama on his blog
Ya lying
GotW is being sent to its death on may 13 with the release of KnY 20, SxF 4, haikyuu
You can tell they cared more about mashle since they moved that one to june
Rip
It's gonna live, believe it.
God I’m not ready for how abysmal the numbers will be. I wonder if it’ll be above of below Mitama
Undead Unluck is definitely safe from the axe, for now at least. I think it has potential to become decently popular but we'll have to see
The real question is will it be above or below Zipman at this point.
I wonder if they didn't announce zipman ending before the volume released if it would have sold better.
I hope UU and Mashle stays
Kill morito and bring back samurai 8
>implying there weren't more shit manga enthusiasts reading Zipman ironically than genuine fans
No, it has 5 or 6 chapters left to complete volume 4. (30-39, and last one released is 33)
David did die at 35 but compensated it with an extra long volume-only epilogue.
>Mitama
Initally kinda turned off by the art, but I've grown to enjoy this manga a lot, the cast has grown in a nice way and the subtle switch to making Mitama the straightman was an inspired move. I also somehow ended up rooting for Mitama to fuck a ghost, go figure.
>Agravity
Been enjoying it from day one. I really want it to survive, I can see it easily becoming an honest-to-gd space sitcom as they settle down with the alien community, but it does appear to be heading to an early grave. Just hoping it avoide the U19 club
>Mashle
Loved the premise, but I just cannot get into it. Mash's personality is kind of a weakness when the surrounding cast and developments are so painfully flat. The latest character is super annoying too, so I'm not optimistic for the future.
>Moriking
Liked the first chapter, but where can it go from here? The premise doesn't look like it can hold for long as it currently is. It's just one chapter though, we'll have to see.
First week was 3 days, an you forget there is corona out there tanking sales.
I've heard it sells like Yuuna digitaly, but i have no source to backup that claim.
It's still the safest of the round with Mashle. If everything goes wrong it will live for around on year, but I agree with you saying that no CP is weird and a letdown .
Rent free
Lots of decent newcomers so some others have to go.
Yuuna might end for real this time.
The next axe round should be in june.
It could be their new middleground once Yuuna ends
MORIGOD WILL NEVER DIE. HE SHALL SURVIVE.
>I also somehow ended up rooting for Mitama to fuck a ghost
I know the feeling. Commentary is so dreamy.
Better? Perhaps, but honestly you could already tell from the preorders that its numbers were going to be abysmal.
Besides, it's not like it would've mattered - zipman was dead regardless of how much it sold.
Samon lasted as long as it did because the early volumes sold decently enough to make it a member of the 30k club.
It got the axe because started declining around volume 5-6 and never really recovered.
I see Neverland and KnY ending beforehand. It's hard to tell where Yuuna is at right now but Neverland and KnY seem like their final arcs are almost done.
Yui Kamio was supposed to be za besto
>Mitama
Axe
>AB
Axe
>UU
Probably will survive for a while
>Mashle
Nips like it
Wasn't there supposed to be a new axe bait this week before the issue got cancelled?
Think it was something about using bones as weapons to fight supernatural stuff
Yuuna is the sort of series they could continue in Giga or + or wherever they feel appropriate to finish it off. That said I don't think they will be desperate to make room for another series
I'm more curious to see which series will get animated next; SpyxFamily, Jigokuraku, Chainsawman, Act-Age are all kind of at a stage where it could be announced at least.
I genuinely think axing Samon is WSJ's biggest crime since Psyren.
I was just about to make a thread like this and for the Alliance. Glad someone got to it before me.
The next 2 issues will each have a new series. Bone Collection and Time Paradox Ghost Writer
Gojo will use six eyes to make sure mitama is safe from the axe
Yes, and because of that it will get cheated of the cover (because it's a family portrait) which is bad mojo out of the gate.
