I agree Mishima, why are these two even fighting in the first place. Least we're nearing end game now.
Dungeon Meshi 28
Worth the wait, seems like everything is fine with Farlyn, personality wise. Cept the sudden increase in mana.

When the devil incarnate herself reacts like that you know you messed up big time.
And it's the first time I saw Carol without a smile plastered on her face.

What does 3rd chapter ranking etc mean?

Basically jump doesnit rankings on an 8 week delay so this issue is the 3rd time love rush is ranked and the 2nd time red sprite is ranked. Its not the be all end all but generally new series that get ranked low early don't last long in Shonen Jump.

If they wanted to just randomly make the meaningless rankings go up they would just insert random chapters with Erina being silly.
But since the rankings are meaningless
I wouldn't say it's meaningless, but it's not like a series dropping down for a few weeks means it's suddenly in danger of getting cancelled, that would be silly.
But it's interesting to speculate about the why's and how's.

No, they are meaningless. Bakuman isn't a documentary.
They're meaningless beyond a certain amount of time/chapters, but there's a pretty clear correlation between ranking and survival rates for series with say less than 50 chapters (the only real exception I know is Mx0)
I feel that they are important for a new series. Once the series becomes established enough (+50 chapters), the sales of the volumes become more important factor.

Red Sprite will survive! I know it will make a come back!
I hope it will make a comeback 
It's one of my favorite series right now, I really hope it stays.

ALL MONO-EYE TO THE GLORY
I've always been mildly curious about why it's usually titled "Dr. Hitomi's..." online, where as the official English release went with "Nurse". Are both fitting translations? Is it subtle discrimination against mono-eyes? Or perhaps there's something shady about Ms Hitomi's medical credentials? I'll have to investigate her further.

dang not looking well for Red Sprite

Rankings most definitely matter Hinomaru Zumou is a testament to it, that manga has consistently sold 30k per volume since it's debut that's New series level and yet 120 chapters later it's still ongoing getting an iregularily high amount of colour pages (including one just last week) and doesn't seem to be any sort of current risk of getting cancelled as there's still a laundry list of manga jump will likely want to go through before it even thinks of doing that.
The seemingly notable factor being it's consistently higher than average rankings never really dropping out of the top half of jump when taken on cumulative average.

What actually matters is sales and sales potential. Sometimes the rankings align with that and sometimes they don't. Shokugeki no Soma was like the 13th best selling series for the beginning of the year. It legitimately makes no difference where it is in the rankings, even if its sales were cut in half.
The poll doesn't mean anything in and of itself, it just happens to frequently correlate with series sales early on. If you try to look at the rankings as indicative of basically anything in a vacuum, you're not going to get any useful information.

Holy shit, I don't think I've seen anything put into words just what the struggle with depression is like as well as this. This is so goddamn relateable even as a straight male.

Nah pretty sure it's been proven convincingly at this point that sales and sales potential aren't the sole motivators. I mean really think about it, Bleach was rushed to it's conclusion. Bleach sells 400k per volume. Toriko is also heading to it's conclusion. Jump has cancelled or moved the manga to a different manga, many high selling manga's. If sales alone were all that mattered consistently high selling manga wouldn't be hurried along their completion path without the mangaka essentially just giving up or moved ever. Your hypotheisis also doesn't remotely explain Hinomaru's contnued serialization which must be some sort strange enigma to you, since it seems to have neither of those yet has outlasted manga that have had both, by a large margin too.
You have to keep in mind that Jump cares about Jump itself it's not only a advertising venue to sell manga volumes but also a magazine that wants to maintain it's high circulation. That's why rankings matter. It's based on readership feedback, those that actually consistently buy jump. If they don't like the manga in jump they'll be less likely to buy jump itself. Which is why low rankings and low sales manga get the axe first, because they serve no purpose whatsoever. Highly ranked manga at least have interest to jump's readership which is why they're more likely to keep them around.
I re-read it yearly since I discovered it.
It pains me to think it's unlikely to ever be licenced outside japan ( well in a english or french speaking country ), I kind of hoped they would try to sell it with "By the author of claymore" when the manga + anime was running.
That and kyou kara ore wa. :'(
Rankings matter early on for series in Jump. Toriko has been speeding through this final arc but if it was being cancelled it would have ended months ago, also it ranks fairly decently most the time anyway. Bleach was in its final arc for years and besides having a shitty ending there's no actual proof it was cancelled. Both series lost sales after their animes ended as well. The sumo manga is pulling a Psyren, it's only surviving because there's been a consistent stream of new series doing worse in rankings and sales. Unless it gets an anime I don't see it not being cancelled eventually. To Love-Ru is a good example of what rankings mean nothing for a series that sells well. It was in the bottom 5 for most of its run in weekly Jump and it only ended early because Yabuki was having issues with his wife. Sales of manga volumes is ultimately far more important then magazine rankings.

Claymore should have been sold as from the author of Angel Densetsu, damn it

It's not the be all end all metric, but for new series (the only ones specifically marked) it at least gives people an early warning that they shouldn't get too invested since it may not have long to live.

Bought some manga off amazon the other day. Got the vol 1 - 3 of devil's line and the newest jitsu wa watashi wa.
devil's line vol 3
I read the first two a couple weeks ago and got into the story. Since it got licensed I think the group translating it stopped, so I figure might as well buy it anyway.
I like the relationship between Anzai and Tsukasa. I also like how its fairly different than other vampire related manga I've read, as here they're just trying to fit in even though it seems like everything's against them in their sad lives. I'm also liking the new character Hans Lee quite a bit.
I think the plot is starting to get interesting with the anti-vampire group, and I'm looking forward to how the main characters who are part of the police are going to handle it considering they don't know who in the police they can trust.

Y'see, any activity, no matter how horrendous, will have at least a small subset of people that actively that enjoy it. This goes from smut and yuri aaaaall the way to math and nippon ichi games (same thing, rly). Few things are as bizarre to me as seeing someone whistle while doing math problems.
same goes for puzzles.

RIP Rocket Turtle. He was so young and so full of rockets. I can't remember whether the survival guide prohibits talking about anything outside of the princess's cell, but if it doesn't then that needs to be added.

Yeah, this needs to be required reading for anyone with depression. Well, maybe people that are at least in the recovering stages of it because this is goddamn rough.

Being rebranded after 4 issues into something new, just like it was rebranded from Jump Next. They did say it was only running for those 4 issues at least.
I honestly have no idea what they are trying to do with this magazine. Like the end game seems to be just keep on relaunching it forever?

7 Deadly Sins 20ish to 74
Finally got back to this and continue to find it fairly solid and enjoyable. The villains main goal is laughably short sighted but it gets the job done. One thing I wasn't expecting was the permanent death of Liz's sister Veronica since if happened kinda randomly during any old battle I can't think of another shonen that would kill someone off so randomly and have it stick. Highlight of the series has been Ban's immortalitly flash back.

I really wish more people had latched onto Kyou Kara. It has a surprisingly great narrative progression (3 years!) and character development. Usually I won't recommend it as a Yankee manga, as I'd just show Crows or Worst, but for comedy and action it's in the same vein as Angel dentetsu for me.
