I am genuinely shocked that Nisekoi is doing so well in the English Shonen Jump.

Soma has extra pages next issue. Amending...

Issue 15:

Assassination Classroom (Cover, Lead Colour)
1. Naruto
2. One Piece
3. SKET Dance
4. The Disaster of Psi Kusuo Saiki
Nisekoi: False Love (Center Colour)
5. Toriko
World Trigger
High Kyū!! (Center Colour)
6. Kuroko's Basketball
7. Shokugeki no Sōma (Extra Pages)
Medaka Box (Center Colour)
Koisuru Edison
8. Bleach
9. Kochikame
10. Gintama
11. Beelzebub
12. Hungry Joker
13. Cross Manage
14. Rookie Policewoman Kiruko-san

It turns out that, rather than ending, Medaka Box is starting a new arc.

Combined shipments for the first 5 volumes of High Kyū!! total 1.5 million. Would sound amazing if Assassination Classroom hadn't just recently surpassed 2 million with two volumes.

The next three issues will give Shokugeki no Sōma colour pages, though it was not said if any of these were cover pages.

It has been speculated that the reason for the existence of Jump Versus (which I explained last week) is because not a single one of Jump's recent successes have been combat-based.

Issue 16 Info:
Cover, Lead Colour: Gintama
Center Colour: Shokugeki no Sōma, Enmusubi no Kami!! Makkey (One-Shot)
Absent: Naruto

Issue 17 Info:
Lead or Center Colour: Shokugeki no Sōma

Issue 18 Info:
Lead or Center Colour: Shokugeki no Sōma

English Issue 59:
Ruroni Kenshin: Restoration (Cover, Monthly)
Naruto
One Piece
World Trigger
Nisekoi: False Love
Toriko (Center Colour)
Bleach
One-Punch Man
Dragon Ball (Full Colour)
Cross Manage
Blue Exorcist (Monthly)

The second and final print volume of Barrage comes out next month.

Author comments for this week. Seems Naoshi outright pointed out that the Nisekoi chapter had cameos from Koi no Kami-sama, one of his one-shots.

Anyone subscribed to the English magazine at any point between March 5th and April 5th gets free DLC for Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3.

Shokugeki no Soma doing alright in ratings warms my heart. I love that manga! I just wish Bleach would end already so that new mangas worth a damn could enjoy its slot.

[up][up]Yeah, Souma consistently ranking between 3rd and 8th is rather good for my sanity. Finally, something I pick up isn't at the bottom of the magazine...

I wonder when Kochikame will end. The author is about 61 years old, so with the new retirement age in Japan, he'll have four more years until he can retire, I guess, if he and WSJ will even WANT to have him retire.

And I hope now that it is pretty clear that Assassination Classroom has become decently popular and has reached its third volume that it will start to dive deeper with its current cast. I don't think there's enough development for the kids in the class.

Still not sure where the heck World Trigger is headed. I did like "It would take twenty of you to defeat one of those monsters, and eighteen of those hypothetical Osamus would be dead afterwards."

12. Rookie Policewoman Kiruko-san

Naruto (Absent)

One Piece is absent this week because Oda suddenly fell ill. But they'd already printed the To C before making the decision. As such, we know One Piece would have been in 5th, but I won't count it because no chapter is actually present. A one-shot titled "Akarui Hito" ran in its place.

Issue 17:
Cover, Lead Colour: Kuroko's Basketball
Center Colour: Shokugeki no Sōma, High Kyū!!, Sporting Salt (One-Shot)
Absent: Bleach

Issue 18:
Center Colour: Shokugeki no Sōma

English Issue 60:
Nisekoi: False Love (Cover, Lead Colour, Popularity Poll Results)
One Piece
Naruto
Dragon Ball (Full Colour)
Cross Manage
World Trigger
One-Punch Man
Bleach
Toriko

Viz is touting this issue as being the first Shonen Jump cover ever to be completely guy-free. They're also running a contest for fanart involving Jump characters partying under the cherry blossoms.

Author comments. Whoever translated them seems to not be aware that Smash Bros. Deluxe is known in English as Smash Bros. Melee.

Hmm Koisuru Edison seems to be doing okay. But as a gag series, probably not suitable for USA Shonen Jump.

Wait a minute, Edison shouldn't be ranked.

Fixing.

[up][up] It's 8 chapters previous to the rankings, right? So I think it would be Chapter 521?

Naruto is the only jump comic I read, I just like looking at the others rankings because the jump ranking system fascinates me .. also to see if Bleach ever gets canceled. (nothing against it just curiosity)

[up]Well seeing as Bleach is in its final arc, its kinda too late for that. (but then again that didn't stop them from canning Shaman King....) dont really care about the series either way anymore though...

Anyways, new Beelzebub and Medaka Box will make up for no One Piece and Naruto this week for me.

Bleach is in no danger of cancelation as things stand. There are three bottom feeder series cushioning things for the other series, and since they will likely be replaced by new bottom feeders once those three are cancelled. And even discounting all that, Medaka Box is in worse shape than Bleach.

I'm being told that this week's Bleach rank is based on chapter 523.

Last Chapter was 530 I believe.

Estimated First Week Sales for the first volumes of Cross Manage and Kiruko (both failed to make the top 50):

Cross Manage: 14,000 - 16,000
Kiruko: 8,000 - 10,000

Estimated sales for the first volumes of Souma and Joker based on pre-orders:

Souma: 80,000 - 100,000
Joker: <10,000

Gilphon (4 Score & 7 Years Ago)
#299: Mar 15th 2013 at 7:12:18 PM

So, basically, Cross Manage is in better shape than the other two bottom feeders at the moment?

burnpsy Since: Sep, 2010
#300: Mar 15th 2013 at 7:36:58 PM

Yes.

And if Twitter is any indication, Trigger and Edison will also be bottom-feeders (similar metrics gave away how poorly Barrage, Takama-ga-hara and Date-senpai would perform).

If Manage doesn't get axed in the next round, we may have another magico or ST&RS on out hands, lasting a year even while being at the bottom and selling poorly.
