Yeah, preview really sold the art style short. It actually looks really solid here and on the LCP.
Doubt it'll manage to break through but I'll at least give it a cursory readthrough this Sunday to see what's up.

about 10 chapters(?) ago UU author creates a contingency in case he has to rush it

Like it will make perfect sense in the Universe and the Lore
But it won't feels good as the reader

But Tozuka can properly wrap it up nicely enough if he can last 2 more rounds (so 24 more chapters)

Undead won't get rushed, even if it ends up staying in dead last (which I don't think it will, Kiyoshi and Chojo seem poised to drop down there, I can't see Murakami being anywhere other than dead last for its real position, and Undead's hit dead last at points before rising back up again). At worst I expect it'd get the Nura treatment where it gets shifted out to Jump GIGA or somewhere to finish the final battle over a few chapters.

It's nice to see Hima-ten starting out well and Astro seems to have stabilised for the time being in the low-mid zone alongside Nue. Hopefully it'll get some occasional jumps up instead of being stuck down there.

Hima-ten literally has zero competition on the mag. The only way for it to crash was to give Himari a boyfriend (not MC) or idk, do compensated dating. Just by playing things safely to the bare minimum, it'll survive as a mainstay.

2000s ass series. Would've fooled me into believing it to be a sequel to Medaka Box.

I'm guessing it's about the dude making games for the girl to beat and she's supposed to be some kinda ultimate gamer or something like that, so it's an uphill climb to make a game that'll keep her entertained or something. Pictures say a lot, and it's a good thing if you can make an impression from the first glance.

Not doomposting UU but one thing is ranking inside the bottom 5 but usually avoiding staying in the bottom 3 consecutively, but keeping it in the bottom 1 it's definitely not a good sign even if a veteran, specially with the lack of color pages.

We can say UU is cooked, but its because we have many new series in the line up and this isn't the 60's anymore that series end in 6 chapters. Someone has to be bottom, UU has one of the lowest interest for readers. it will have enough time to wrap it up tho

To add to this, the singer for the MV is Kei Sugawara. For a taste of her songs I'll leave here the link for "September" (it's a banger).

No magazine cover? and lol, the long hair dude is actually a girl??? Finally a author doing a reverse gender plot twist, already has a thumbs up

I knew it, the small curve of booba and the navel showing has to be a girl. (I don't call it a reverse gender plot twist imo)

Were you uh, waiting for it to be September to uh, drop this piece of music on us? And uh, for it to, for anyone related to it, to be related to uh, a piece of Jump so you could drop it? There's such a thing as too much of a coincidence.

Mag's stacked as hell. There's just too much things to keep running, and not enough things to chop. Even if I had to pick out series that I'd say are on the chopping block, I'd pick out Undead Unluck, Astro Royale, Chojo and Kiyoshi. But all of them have very strong arguments to stick around. It's no longer the "worst one" that gets hit by an axe, but the "worst of the best".

The only positive is that the U19 Club's doors are wide open now. At the place the mag's at today, we're gonna be seeing a whole bunch of U19s.

Really glad to see Hakutaku not going full Tenmaku Cinema. Insanely glad. Unbelivably glad. Also Taiyo is the best dad in Jump. Ever. Also lol at people commenting on Roboco's falling sales and the circ going up (it's the highest circ per volume total it's ever reached). Movie's gonna make it explode Kimetsu style, trust.

I don't know how no one's clocked it, but Blue Box's cover is just a Kagurabachi color page. But with more brown.

Also, again, Undead's not getting canceled, it's very obviously getting put down there as a last sort of editorial fiat to push up Kiyoshi (which I think is dead unless sales are unexpectedly great) and Chojo (which will get one round to prove itself.) Also it's either ranking the idol arc or the model arc, which were both snoozefests.

Nah, im with you.

is there really a chance of jjk manga continuing? Or is the editor just baiting

Many read so many series that when you think its a girl its a guy has kinda become common place Bijju.

So can you really blame them for being suprised? I am one who was just as shocked as the other ones.
