In 2024 Do a jujutsu and My Hero Academiatwo big ones boy jumping (S.J.) hit, it's over. while one piece, One of the biggest hits in magazine history is still ongoing and nearing its peak. It might still take a few years one piece It's over, but many people are claiming it. boy jump iWe're heading into our “weakest” lineup in years, without a comic who can “carry the magazine on his shoulders.” Kagurabachi It seems like it's shaping up to be an interesting promise.)

Over the past few years, many titles in magazines have started and ended quickly (this is somewhat normal). S.J. Typically, we cancel the titles of the first three volumes. This is like the first test. If you can't grab enough readers' attention after three books, you're eliminated. A series doesn't have to be a hit in the first volume, it just has to hit a “minimum score” (but we don't know how many readers are “enough readers”). Nonetheless, in some cases, it ends before Volume 3.

Of course, if a title is doing well and then suddenly begins to lose popularity, the author will likely be under pressure to finish the story quickly. So which jump Is it likely that the title will be canceled in the coming months, or will it never be canceled? we are not considering Boy Jump+ Title of this analysis.

Likely to be canceled

Because it is the latest series It's only natural that a title launched in 2024 would be included on this list, as these are the titles most likely to be cancelled.. Let’s take a closer look at each success story and why it wasn’t successful.

Astro Royale (2024 —)

Astro Royale This is a new manga by author Ken Wakui. Tokyo Avengers. Because of this, I think there were high expectations that it would become a hit quickly. Things don't seem to work out that way. It's not that bad, but considering what huge hits Wakui has had before, it's not great.

to be honest, Tokyo Avengers That was probably the highlight. boys magazine because boys magazine no boy jumping. The niche of readers varies from magazine to magazine. It is scheduled to exceed volume 3, but sales are declining so it is likely to be canceled soon.

Hakutaku (2024—)

Hakutaku is one of the most recent titles to appear in the magazine, making it very difficult to know its future. But it doesn't seem to be getting much attention. I'm putting it here, but there's a good chance this is wrong.

The story is about two high school students who want to create a video game to impress their classmates. And when your classmates play, everything changes.

Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi (2024—)

This book seemed to be off to a bad start, but the first volume was recently reprinted, which is usually a good sign. It's still in a make-or-break phase, and so far it hasn't received much attention. It seems like there are more readers now, but is it really enough? I'm skeptical about this, but I still think it could be successful.

The plot probably doesn't sound interesting to most people. It's about a man who was the most powerful exorcist in history. This kind of premise may disappoint many people. The problem is that he has a secret.

fair chance of survival

There are titles like this In general, the performance isn't bad, but it's also not very good. Some of them may have seen declining sales despite average performance.

Shinobi Undercover (2024—)

This is new. The first volume came out last month. It's difficult to analyze a series that has only just begun, but it seems like they've been able to grow their readership. If you're old enough to know what Full Metal Panic? Fumoppu! The premise is somewhat similar. (Otherwise, it's a good show. As far as I remember, you can watch it without knowing what it's about. full metal panic But maybe not that old). I think I can do it.

Anyway, this takes place in modern Japan, but there are ninjas working in the shadows. Yodaka is one of them, and must protect the high school girls. But to do that, you have to go to high school, which can be quite problematic.

Himaten! (2024—)

Another rookie title. Volume 2 was released in January, and Volume 1 did well. I honestly think this one is boring, but people tend to like these kinds of stories, so I'm sure it will succeed with a big enough niche to keep going.

This is the story of a high school student who cleans houses for a part-time job. So he's actually an average Japanese boy who isn't rich. For some reason, a popular teenage model who is also a businesswoman transfers to the school. And you can guess who hired the agency our protagonist works for to clean her apartment.

Sid Craft: Love is a Mystery (2024—)

To be honest, this didn't start well. This is the story of a talented detective who can solve most problems. But what he really wants is romance, and his love interests are usually the culprits of the crimes he investigates. We could call it a rom-com.

The public may not be off to a good start, but I'm posting this here because I believe in Taishi Tsutsui, the founder of . we never learnYou will be able to make this a success.

Kill Blue (2023—)

kill blue Usually, when a new book comes out, it sells about 25,000 copies, but some people may be worried that sales seem to be dropping a bit. To be honest, this product will likely continue to sell fairly well, so I don't think cancellation is likely. It was also included as part of the “next generation of advancements.”

Jugo Ogami is one of the best assassins. He is in his 40s. However, while working at a pharmaceutical company that manipulates genes, he is bitten by a wasp and turns 12 years old again. Now that he is too short to work as an assassin, he is given a special mission as his company tries to find a cure for him. That means making sure the principal's daughter is safe by enrolling in the school she's applying to.

Ruli Dragon (2022—)

Ruli Dragon 2022 is off to a good start, with the first volume selling around 75,000 copies in its first week. Maybe this book should be in the “safe section”, but since it's been a very long hiatus and the second book just came out this year, it could have a lot to do with the series. It still seems to be performing well, but we'll leave it here and wait.

In the story, Ruri Aoki wakes up one day… and now she has horns on her head. Then she discovers that she is actually half-dragon. She continues to try to live a normal life, but it's no longer easy.

Definitely a safe title

There are titles like this It sure looks safe. The performance of the first three volumes is important in determining whether a series can be continued, so comics that have been serialized for more than a year are generally safe. Additionally, series that are adapted into anime tend to be safer because they have to be successful enough to merit an adaptation. so undead bad luck, Mission: Yozakura Family, Me and Roboco, blue box, and The Elusive Samurai It's definitely safe.

Sakamoto Days is doing well and the upcoming animation will increase sales so this is also a safe bet. witch watch You can think it's safe because the anime is coming out this year too. So let's talk about a series that hasn't officially been confirmed for animation yet.

Akanebashi (2022—)

Akane Banashi It shouldn't even be mentioned. It is scheduled to be animated soon and has become quite popular. It's safer than any other title. However, nothing has been officially announced so I am listing it here.

The plot revolves around rakugo, a traditional Japanese theater form in which one performer depicts a story involving multiple characters (usually with a comedic tone). The performers play all the characters and do so while sitting in their seats. Akane's father was a rakugo actor and was expelled from school during a promotion exam to achieve the highest grade. But that won't stop Akane from trying to get revenge on him by becoming a rakugo actor.

Silkworm's Exorcist (2023—)

Despite the localized title, which may confuse people, spell checkers, and search engines. Blue Exorcist (could have a big impact in a world where most people shop online) Silkworm Exorcist It has achieved good results and I think it will continue in the future.

Gakuro Yajima has always been able to see spirits, but he never wanted to interact with them. At least until he meets Nue, a spirit in the shape of a young girl who lives in a secret room at the school. He eventually makes a pact with her, but she will only lend him her power if he helps him exorcise the evil spirit.

Super Power Cop Chozo (2024—)

This product didn't perform well, but it wasn't bad either. Since it's a comedy gag manga, a genre that generally doesn't need to perform very well to keep going, it's especially likely to keep going after it hits the three-volume mark.

It tells the story of a rookie police officer who ends up working with a police officer that everyone hates. But he can use superpowers. Then you have to solve the crime.

Witch Ichi (2024—)

story made by Nishi Osamu (Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun) and Shiro Usazaki (acting age Illustrator), honestly, you can't go wrong with it. The first book has just been released and is being recommended by leading authors such as Kohei Horikoshi. So, despite being a very new product, it certainly seems safe.

The plot takes place in a world where magically created monsters exist. They are being chased by “witches” and perhaps only women can be witches. At least everyone believed that until a boy named Ichi became a witch.

Kagurabachi (2023—)

It's as safe as safe can be. It is highly likely that an anime adaptation will be officially announced soon. good night Akane Banashi, Since no anime has been announced so far, this is here to stay.

Chihiro Rokuhira's father is a famous blacksmith, and the boy aims to be like his father. However, his family, who had been hiding for many years, is discovered one day. The wizards kill Chihiro's father and steal the six magic blades he created. However, there was a seventh blade that Chihiro wielded to avenge her family and retrieve the blade.
