I wonder what will end first, Bleach, Toriko, and Nisekoi. All 3 could be a dozen or less chapters away from a conclusion.
My guess is that it's now:
Bleach (if volume 74 is really the end) followed by Nisekoi, then Toriko and ending the year with Gintama.
I don't think Komi got any memo, I think he's doing it himself. I can't imagine Jump in their right mind getting rid of their only popular romcom without another one lined up
It's hard to say, but given how compact the third year in story compared with the second year in story, and how quickly everyone except Marika got rejected, it is a little suspect. I wouldn't discount that Komi just wanted to move on to something else (Lord knows he deserves better) but I also think that Jump was willing to allow it to end and have room for something new.
Obviously Jump ending a very successful series is going to put them in an awkward position without one to immediately replace it, but that's always been their MO (and considering that Jump is the market leader currently, seems to have worked thus far).
Jump's actually in a bit of a pinch. Probably the reason why Nisekoi got an extension is because Bleach and Gintama are pretty close to ending, while Toriko and Nisekoi are on their way, and HxH going on hiatus again.
I haven't heard much of their new series, probably because none of them are particularly good? Assclass ended early. Black Clover and Hinomaru Zumo haven't really caught on. A "Haikyuu, Shokugeki, World Trigger, My Hero Academia" lineup is a real fall compared to what they had a few years ago.
I think the logic is "as long as we have One Piece, Jump will survive" lol
But yes, I do agree they are in a very delicate situation at the moment. The current line up is alright and has potential for growth, with Haikyuu being a mega hit, not at the same stature as Naruto or One Piece, but it covers the sport niche and has great female appeal, My Hero is already groomed for success, Shokugeki and World Trigger are both popular enough (more so Food Wars, though World Trigger still has a sizeable fan base), and Black Clover is getting pushed as well. It's a good base to start.
But without a lot of heavy hitters, it's going to need something to pick up soon or they might fall from being ahead. The latest offering from 2015 was very mediocre, and is year didn't have much new.
It's going to be interesting seeing where they go.
I remember Jump's new manga always getting posts in here, however good or bad they were. It's never mentioned anymore, what happened
Not many deputed this year.
Buddy Strike, which died really fast.
Really nothing good has come from Jump lately. Not since MHA.
Buddy Strike was last year wasn't it? Or was it this year? It was so forgettable I couldn't care to remember.
