>>288649517 These TOCs are decided a week or two beforehand. It's possible Saito might throw kinato a bone and ain't no way UD sticks to the bottom like this.
>>288649549 >ain't no way UD sticks to the bottom like this. Kek, once Kinato dies UD will be the bottom one. Sorachi is one hard to read but I can see Roku doing worse than the basketball too
I understand that, like, the TOC is decided in advance and it's (allegedly) taking into account reader rankings weeks and weeks ago
But genuinely, what is the plan with Under Doctor? It's the only series you push from it's batch, you give it color pages, having stock issues day one, and you're still putting it second to last place? I don't even read UD, but it's just confusing.
Like, I can understand Kinato being last. Like it sold 5k, which isn't great, but technically on par with Kiyoshi/Himaten/Shinobi's first volume in the same timeframe, but Jump obviously didn't have any faith in it. But they're pushing UD up and down at the same time

>>288649767 Cushion pattern. The point is to protect Kiyoshi, Himaten, Roboco and Akane (and maybe Shinobi) Their only best bet is to hope for Himaten and bb to end already and for saito to go away, until then they are going to be bottom'd

>>288649811 Dude, akane doesn't need protection, may as well add nue there.
Kento Terasaka comment for the 1st chapter of Hal Formula in the Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #29 of 2026:
"From the world's slowest sport to the world's fastest sport. I hope you enjoy it!"

>>288649811 I just don't understand the thought process behind it. Why would Saito want to sabotage his own series? If UD succeeds, wouldn't he ultimately benefit from it? Especially when there are, like, 3 long-running series about to end. Maybe the Japanese are fucking weird, but it just doesn't make sense for him not to latch onto any semi-successful new series and go "look, I've only been here for 2 years, and already half of the successful series are mine."

Isagi blanco end Jump put it out of it's misery, or at least in a state in which the editors are forced to work along the author to make a mango good instead of this axing and greenlighting axebait vicious cycle.

>>288650061 Realistically speaking, how much could scalping have accounted for in UD's (and Kinato's) sales?
I counted ~998 copies of UD volume 1 on Mercari with about ~300 not sold.
and ~119 copies of Kinato volume 1 with ~59 copies not sold.
How many more copies for each do you think scalpers are sitting on, hoping that they'll appreciate in value with time?
