JUMP Issue #48

Lead CP: Assassination ClassroomCP: Reborn!, Rokkou Tokka (One Shot)

+

• Assassination Classroom is 1st! Oh yeah, baby!
• Nisekoi back up to 6th
• Bleach up to 7th

-

• Gintama stays 10th, one palce above the bottom 5
• Reborn! in the bottom 5 again
• Kurogane also ranked poorly
• Takamagahara unsurprisingly ranked last. I'd expect it's already been cancelled, and that JUMP has told the author to wrap up the series in the next few chapters

Other changes:

• Toriko: No change from 2nd
• Naruto: 4th > 3rd
• PSI Kusuo Saiki: No change from 4th
• Sket Dance: 8th > 5th
• Haikyuu!!: 7th > 8th
• Kochikame: 11th > 9th
• Medaka Box: 13th > 12th
• Koisome Momiji: 14th > 15th

ToC this week ain't too bad, Gintama and Reborn! continue their slump. Doubt it matters much for Reborn! anyway. The Naruto chapter being ranked is where Tobi's identity is revealed, surprised it didn't get first and also lost to Assassination Classroom. Plus, Retsu!! Date-Senpai gets its first ranking next week, with Cross Manage's coming the week after. If anyone's read them or knows if they're good, please take some of your cherished time to tell me. Anyway, thanks for reading, see you next week! ^.^

JUMP Issue #43 Info

Lead CP: Haikyuu!!

CP: Cross Manage, Beelzebub, Koisome Momiji

Positives... Or should I say POSITIVE:

• Assassination Classroom is 1st!!!!

Negatives:

• One Piece falls to 2nd, but at least it's to a good series
• Kurogane falls to 10th, but at least it's not in the bottom 5
• Gintama drops to 1 place above the bottom 5 - guess this arc isn't so popular...
• Beelzebub drops into the bottom 5
• Bleach drops like a fucking rock into 13th
• Takamagahara is FUCKED!!!! Damn-near bottom rankings for the first 3 chapters is a death sign. And I really had high hopes for this series :'(

Other changes:

• Naruto a non-mover at 3rd
• Toriko up one place to 4th
• PSI Kusuo Saiki also up one place to 5th
• Kuroko no Basket up one place to 7th (am I seeing a trend here... ?)
• Kochikame down to 14th

Wow, one of the worst ToCs I've seen in like, ever. Hopefully, it might improve. I now predict that it and Koisome Momiji will be next on the chopping block and, well, if I'm wrong, then I will... DO something embarassing - let me know in the comments what I should do and I'll post a video doing it or something. Sorry for the lateness, this is like 2 days late! Some stuff with uni and work I had to do. Thanks for reading, see you next week! ^.^

Positives:

• One Piece is 1st
• Nisekoi up 1 place to 4th - still in the top 5

Negatives:

Gay-ass ToC. Sensei no Bulge has been cancelled -.- Takamagahara's tanking - it will have a bottom ranking next week -.-

But on the plus-side, we've got 2 new series! Retsu!! Date-senpai started this issue. I haven't read it yet so I don't know what it's like. And Cross Manage starts next issue. But oh, wait, they're probably gonna run for like 12 chapters and get axed seeing as Japan hates new shit. Thanks for reading! ^.^

Takamagahara's 1st chapter is 3rd from bottom. Wow. If it doesn't rise the next 2 chapters, it's pretty much fucked Speaking of "fucked", Sensei no Bulge is penultimate and ends next week, and Pajama na Kanojo has ended. Hot dayum. What is it with new series getting killed off so quickly nowadays? Other changes: Haikyuu!! rises to 2nd Toriko rises to 3rd Sket Dance moves up to 4th Naruto drops again to 7th! LOL Kochikame rises to 10th Koisome Momiji retains its 3rd-from-bottom position An OK ToC this week, sad to see Pajama and Bulge going, funny to see Naruto 7th. Takamagahara, get the fuck up. Thanks for reading!! ^.^ We've also got a couple of new series starting over the next couple of weeks: Retsu!!! Date-Senpai and Cross Manage, which is apparently a sports romance with lacrosse. FOr those of you that don't know what lacrosse is, watch American Pie.

*Some awesome Gintama-related news I've missed since I've been away, which explains the lateness of this Blog post. First, they're airing new episodes and reruns of Gintama under the "Yorinuki Gintama-san" title on October 4th! In addition, there's a new PSP game coming from Namco-Bandai (LOL PSVITA) and... A 2nd Gintama movie is in the works! It'll be written by Hideaki Sorachi so it should be awesome. Here's hoping Sentai Filmworks will pick that up. And pictures from the announcement look like Joi-war Gintoki's in it, so maybe it'll be about his past ^.^

Takamagahara gets its first rank next week, hopefully it'll be as successful as Assassination Classroom's...

A pretty good ToC this week, nice to see AC get 2nd place, Nisekoi continues to piss its way up the table. Thanks for reading! ^.^
