I think its too early to have this concern since three new series are starting and they are probably bound to take two of them. I could see this concern if after chapter three of all of them, they take no series.
The one coming in mondays issue seems like the safest addition.

It's completely dumb that he shows up now and not when August or Eileen, the supposed "strongest mages EVERRRR", were around.

"I had tor reject you before because I was in love with some other girl I just met. Then she died, and I fell in love with some other girl I just met. Sorry." Ice fucking cold, bud.
Given the way Seo's last series turned out, I can only assume Koyuki's "one last selfish request" is going to be that Yuu take her V-card.

Yamada and the 7 Witches
At this point I almost feel like the lack of any kind of relationship conflict between Yamada and Shiraishi is almost off-putting because it means Shiraishi never does anything despite her being the best character.
Yamada is basically Shiraishi-sexual but every single point of conflict/relationship development between him and Shiraishi in the last 200 chapters has basically been different levels of uncertainty about Yamada's interaction with the rest of his humongous school-wide harem, but Yamada only has eyes for Shiraishi so the answer is always "Yamada did nothing; he was into Shiraishi the whole time."

What makes this whole scenario even grander is that Koyuki looks like a goddamn supermodel and just literally begged the man to sleep with her (fully naked) and Yuu be all like:
Did Jump have two series end in the same issue anytime recently? Popular series at that, maybe I'm crazy but it feels like they've had a change in policy or something
TheRealTalker

maybe
I have a feeling the next tag team will be Toriko and Gintama together
I have a feeling too that series will be more akin to the 40-50 threshold now then overstaying it's welcome
Happens every few years, though usually with series no one cares about or very little. I don't take it as a change in policy since they are ending on a double issue.
The crazy thing here is that while Bleach is ending on its anniversary (same issue it started in even), it will be looking mighty awful when you look at how Nisekoi is closing off.
It's like it's bizzaro world, as shit Bleach had been, I wouldn't have thought Nisekoi would be the one of the two to get the better ending.
Guess that just goes to show, Komi is a great mangaka who lucked out of doing a good series, and Kubo is a bad one who lucked into a popular manga.
Oh well. Kubo has no one to blame but himself. Bro had half a decade to close of this arc.

Hopefully Hunter x Hunter comes back to take both of their slots.
Hunter X Hunter always has a slot reserved, because it's on hiatus and not ended. I think. It's out of the magazine for so long now it's hard to remember.
One of the new manga starting after the break will take their slots. Love Rush for Nisekoi and Red Sprite for Bleach. I don't forsee either lasting long.

On another note how Bleach basically handled the final arcs was overly messy
I mean so many characters did shit..... GrimJaw there for a little bit
not conclusions for tons of characters... Chad is MIA
Gintama is ending but he has it structured.... Toriko is being rushed to an ending yet it is still enjoyable all be it we know we are missing out on a ton of other stuff that was going to be also enjoyable
but Bleach is literally us looking at Kubo giving no shit

Really? Kubo is gonna end this whole Allmighty shit in like 3 chapters?

I mean, its a shonen trope that average looking dudes turn down supermodel women in favor of different supermodel women. Raku in Nisekoi just turned down 5 of them.

Yeah, true. But to further increase Koyuki's L, those girls are (using the Nisekoi harem as an example) dressed at the time of the shut down. Also, the "average girls" are normally regarded as average by the population at large and not just the hapless MC (even though they aren't). In her case she's an idol that netizens and the average Joe in the Rage Town universe would literally kill to be with, and this dude still told her to get steppin' on two occasions.
Her L is a bit more pronounced, even dumbass could have won anytime Onodera doesn't look as thirsty.

That's even worse. So the fight against the big bad Kubo has been building up for two fucking years will end in two chapters, not counting any time spent for the epilogue
This is gonna be some Shaman King level garbage final fight, isn't it.

Stop, nisekoi is a terribly written ending arc that goes against all logic.

Wait Bleach ends in 2 chapters ?
How ?
This is going to make Naruto's ending look like a masterpiece.

It's been a year but I swear, this, out of nowhere backstory for a character who I'm pretty sure didn't even manage to appear in person when the story was still following Musashi, is like 65 chapters long by now.

Nisekoi ended up the way the story was always shaping up to be, regardless of whether you liked Chitoge or not.
She not my favourite out of the cast, but it does make sense why the story would end up with her and Raku. Komi did set up this final year in particular to make it work, and the second year to lay the groundwork.
That and Onodera is an idiot who wasted 3 years doing nothing in story.
Riruka.
The Fullbringers keep on invading the series outta nowhere.

Yeah, I don't see Kubo actually showing people hooking up but if he does you already have the answer with Renji basically going "this one's mine, that one's yours, we gucci" last chapter.
The fact that it's ending the way it was always gonna end doesn't mean it's being done properly. Komi forced his way through every meaningful plotline over the past year to make sure the manga ended that way even though it should have never been a harem to begin with, or even then these meaningless "romances" should have been resolved years ago.
Every girl except the main ones had a well written ending while Chitoge and Onodera get this weird-ass shit.
God am I incredibly salty over this ending and I don't even care about Onodera.
I'm sorry that Onodera crushed your dreams with her chronic passivity
Just kidding no I'm not.
From what I'm seeing, what's left of the Bleach fandom is imploding over the dropped plot lines and rushed conclusion.
Shipping meltdowns might just be the tip of the iceberg.
Naruto at least had just Naruto v Sasuke to end on. There wasn't much when it got to the final 5 chapter mark.
Don't know what Bleach is going to do with half the captains not showing their Bankai, and like 3/4 of the cast is MIA. Or how this reality alternating God is meant to be taken down but whatever.
Nah, Naruto ended when it was in its peak. It got a premium treatment no other series got.
Bleach is going out already on its last legs. It's getting a colour page and its out.

It was all an illusion.
Unlike Naruto, Bleach has shitty rating (constantly in bottom 5/10) and sales that steadily declined.

Ichigo goes into hollow mode. Then his mask cracks again. To reveal he was Aizen all along. Manga ends with a Takagi-san type troll face towards the reader.

You can tell something happened with one of the Big 3 because people are posting faster then once an hour
This is the only finale that can redeem the series.

They had a chapter in Nisekoi where every dude in the vicinity started slobbering over Raku's harem and a bunch of the random dudes were asking they were part of a modeling shoot.

Onodeera is crap
that is all there is to it
that is all there is to it
You don't.
I don't think Nisekoi should have been a harem manga to start with either, mainly because I think it's a waste for Komi to spend his talent and effort on a harem manga, but it is what it is. And given how Komi was taking the story through the 3rd year segment, I actually thought it was an improvement over the fun-but-mostly-fluff 2nd year portion of the manga.
We can spend time talking about how the resolution to the central love triangle was poorly handled even if it was always going to lead to this conclusion. I don't think there is any escaping the fact that Chitoge was going to be the one to end with Raku, given the trajectory of where the final arc ever since Yui's rejection went. I would have preferred it going down a different route, but this is the path Komi wanted to go down, and he committed to it, drawn up a plan, and closed off every other plotline to end his manga on time and on the ending he wanted.
The other girls only needed a few chapters to close off their story, because after stopping chasing after Raku it is a one and done deal, like with Yui, Tsugumi and Haru. Marika is the exception because the story had her always gunning for Raku, and she was popular enough to spend an extended arc on her. The fact that Komi decided to not over complicate his ending with any filler is at least worth some points, even if I thought it should've been resolved ages ago.

but that subsided and she is Onodera's mother so negative points for raising a spineless child who tries to mask their cowardice with false kindness

It's going to be the 14 year equivalent of cancelling a less than a year old series.
Honestly, the events leading into this were great and any harem manga that has an actual ending gets some respect for me so I'm probably being overly harsh. I guess the resolution to the whole necklace mystery left a bad taste in my mouth, Raku should have just done some form of "who cares whats in here, I do what I want" instead of this forced flashback bullshit, it would have made the ending much more interesting and believable, but alas we have to deal with the shounen romcom version of Final Fantasy 8.
