its great seeing bakuman so high! ^^ It deserves it.

Psyren should keep this up as well. Bleach is down pretty far... It looks like bleach will be the first of the big3 to take a fall in popularity maybe?

**Arhazivory** · 11-01-2009, 08:27 PM

Bleach is already the least popular of the three Dragonflame. :p On a number of occasions other titles rate higher than it.

Well...I predicted correct. The Bottom 5 is out and Kagijin has it's last chapter in the next issue.

Issue 50
Medaka Box
Sket Dance
Kashikoi
Ane Doki
Jaguar
Kagijin (End)

Next on the chopping block will be...who knows...Medaka Box? Jaguar? Ane Doki? THose three have also been occurring frequently in the bottom 5. Well, JUMP will have two new series starting soon, so the aforementioned can try and get their stuff together.

Oh yes, it seems that HunterxHunter may be returning in January. Rumour or truth? I suppose time will tell, but for now it looks like it could be for real.

I know it is, but that´s not what i meant. What i mean is, that something might come along that will consistently put bleach in its shadow. So far it´s always been those 3 manga mostly at the top, but i could see something else dethroning bleach in the future. There must come a time when a new generation manga breaks through.

Jaguar has been in the bottom since forever, nobody really takes its position seriously. Good riddance to bad rubbish for Kagijin, the next cut would probably be either to Waji or Rilienthal (the former because of my dislike of it, while the latter has started to debut low from the start)

**Arhazivory** · 11-04-2009, 08:16 PM

You're right about Jaguar [Cross]...it seems to be permanently fixed at the bottom, yet no one cares. Ah well..full list for Issue 50:

Issue 50 (09/11) :
Matsumoto Naoya / Neko Wappa (New Series, Cover, & Color)
Naruto
One Piece
Kuroko no Basket (Color)
Gintama
Bleach
Inumaru Dashi
Nurarihyon no Mago
Psyren
Reborn
Kochi Kame
Baku-man
Hôkenshitsu no Shinigami
Beelzebub
Wajimania
Medaka Box
Sket Dance
Kashikoi
Ane Doki
Jaguar
Kagijin (End)
Toriko (Absent)

There was a one-shot for Neko Wappa in September, but as far as I know, no one translated it much less scanlated it. I guess it got good ratings though, since it's now been serialized. I love cats, so I'll probably have a look-see if anyone decides to take it up.

On another note - Kuroko no Basket at the number 3 position is nothing short of shocking. =O Aside from that, I got nothing else to say.

We did it with Binktopia with a new translator, it just still needs a TL-check and typesetting.

It'd be interesting to read the one-shot. So get to it Bink!

Now, I was surprised to see that another series will be ending. Funny thing is, I hardly even noticed that it was there.

Issue 51: Botttom 6
Psyren
Hokenshitsu no Shinigami
Wasshoi! Waji Mania (End)
Kuroko no Basket
Medaka Box
Jaguar
One Piece (Absent)

Bye Bye Wajimania...I wonder what it was about... I also wonder what is happening in Medaka Box to drop it so much lower than before and why does Psyren keep ping-ponging on the list. It should make up it's mind already! Apparently Kuroko no Basket's colour pages last week were not enough to keep it at the top. -_-'

And yes you heard it here first: OP will be absent next week.

On the other hand there will be two new series: Neko Wappa blasting in with 29 pages (wouldn't they normally have more though?) and Masaosensei with 36 pages (now that sounds like a good starting number). I like 'sensei' stories so I'll probably give the latter a look-see as well. :3

Who else thinks the name of that other new series is too bloody long...raise your hands! -_-'

It's awesome that Mago is in third. I really think it will be Jump's next big thing. And for HxH fans..the series return has been confirmed. It shall be in the #05-06 Issue to be released January 4th. XD
