Less than 24 hours until we find out what is happening with JJK, what you all are betting on? Part 2 next year, special chapter/epilogue, sequel movie a lá "Naruto The Last " written by Gege and produced by Mappa, a global popularity poll or is simply ending and bye bye?

Its Global popularity poll or epilogue

It will be so stupid to make such big fanfare about JJK ending with videos etc for it to have epilogue somewhere else.

The happy announcement will be just merchandises.

So since its been confirmed that GFC is going to start next week, how many contestants will there be for this year?

Also is there one or two authors you all really want to see in this competition?

I remember that there are people here who were fans of Stealth Symphony, well Yōichi Amano will release a manga adaptation of Metaphor: ReFantazio in the V Jump magazine.

Though I'm not betting on it, per say, the fact it didn't get a cover for its penultimate chapter does give me Chainsawman part two vibes. I think it's kinda obvious the workload is killing Gege so him moving to J+ under a monthly schedule or something would do wonders.

An original anime work, particularly by MAPPA, wouldn't sit right with me considering the current state of its production line. They still haven't shown a slither of footage for the Reze arc movie and considering after or even while making that (considering how godawful the self-imposed schedule is) they're all moving to work on adapting the Culling Games it just doesn't seem feasible that Seshimo line, talented as they are, could pull something extra like that out of their hat.

Realistically it'll be a popularity poll though.

That's just JJK 0. Yuta's moment is over. He got JJK 0, he got massive screentime in JJK. Let him go.

I know but I think that might happen. It doesnt necessarily mean I want it to happen and sometimes (most of the time actually unfortunately), things just won't go the way we want

Sukuna made the top 10 in the last popularity poll at least so I don’t think he’s really disliked by Japanese fans. It’s Kenjaku who they seem to not care about and strongly prefer Geto over

.... you know it is mostly Fujoshi who votes for this, right? Sukuna is up there only because of Sukuna x Megumi and Sukuna x Yuji. Please don't ask how i know.....

And also this is why dudebro kinds do not do well in polls even tho western fans may made you think otherwise (kusakabe, Todo, Hakari). This is also why UU is not popular (though, it also has problems with storyline. I read UU for a bit and it bores me even more than JJK 269 to 270. It is an amazing feat to be worse than JJK 269 to 270)

So, unless it is yaoi i don't think Sukuna spin off will be well received (and those pairings are not even popular) His merchandises are also one of the lowest selling ones. He does not sell. His heian form is ugly and looks like a baki character. Unless they actually show us bishonen young Sukuna.

Actually the most logical thing for them to do is to make a Gojo HI spinoff drawn by someone else. Gojo can even make rock sell like hotcake.

Also, Geto is popular mostly due to his association with satosugu

Already expected vol 4 to sell around 100k first month but if this is any indication the ceiling might be even higher than that.
All depends on whether the folks who picked it up thanks to the tsugi win stick around in the long run, I guess.

Hoping for another circulation update. It'd be needing another reprint in less than a month anyway thanks to the new release boost, so shueshia might as well pump up the numbers a little for the sake of a nice obi.
