Weekly Shonen Jump TOC

[AlucarDraculA]

I feel like Hunter x Hunter is always low in these, how does Togashi have breathing room to go on hiatus's?

[Cyan D. Funk]

As long as HxH volumes sell, it doesn't matter how badly it tanks in the rankings.

[kewl0210]

I've discussed this on mangahelpers a lot, but here's the reasoning,
HXH sells around a millon copies of each volume while on the Oricon (Meaning in the short-term, in a few weeks) putting it on-par with Naruto. And making it one of the best selling manga in all of Japan. Volume 1 has had over 100 printings. The issues in Jump may not be as popular with casual readers because they don't read week-to-week because it stops showing up in the issues. It is an extremely popular manga though. Among the otaku-ish type, it's even more popular than One Piece.

Just read the Pajama series thing... am I the only one who has no idea what I just read?

[AtomicFruit]

It's funny, theres a snow white movie coming up and a manga ( Pajama etc) with some references to it.

>Bleach higher than One Piece

What is this I don't even-

[The Daz]

The fuck. 8 weeks ago was the kinda slow 654, but still, the fuck. Heres hoping that the ranking really is based on "8 weeks prior", since that would be one of the Bleach-less weeks, and could make this rank a decision by WSJ. But I dunno.
At least Naruto is low.

[Kizuchan]

The format is wierd with the list this week, is it really correctly listed?
This is the first time in a long while where Bleach is higher than OP and it's the chapter where they reach the New World.
Oh well.

[MarcelloF]

Ugh. Beelzebub sinks so low after getting better again >_>

ST&RS jump is really surprising, though.

[The Spaceman]

Oh wow how is Naruto so low?

[MasterKingJC]

Bleach is ABOVE One Piece?!

I think my heart is bleeding from the shock.

[Aaronrules380]

I don't think there was a Bleach chapter 8 weeks ago because of the breaks. So this is probably a place holder ranking

[Oga Simpson]

I don't think there was a Bleach chapter 8 weeks ago because of the breaks. So this is probably a place holder ranking

I hope that's the case, 'cos Bleach being above OP just shouldn't happen. Unless it was a chapter of Luffy cooking then eating Chopper or something.

[Cruithne]

What I wanna know is why there are two sides, each with their own lead color.

The Kuroko side can't be ranked below the Medaka side as a whole. That would mean that Reborn and St&rs rank high above Naruto and Gintama and that would be just silly.

Maybe it's alternating in terms of rankings, so it's Bleach - Naruto - One Piece - Gintama - etc... until the Kuroko side runs out, leaving the rest of the Medaka Box side.

So St&rs would still be at the bottom.

I wanna know why Bleach is back on top, though. It makes no sense.

[RPGJay]

Oh wow how is Naruto so low?

Unless someone wants to correct me on this, Naruto's ranking from 8 weeks ago was chapter 572, which was the chapter involving the 9 names of the bijuu (including a flashback to when they were chibi'd), Kurama reminiscing about the time Naruto kissed Sasuke, and ending with this page: http://www.mangareader.net/naruto/572/15

Yeah Naruto has earned this low ranking for that chapter.

[MarcelloF]

Actually, I think Cruithne is right, which makes Naruto first place on the Kuroko side.

[Megadoomer]

8 weeks ago, Bleach was on break (so if that's the case, I'd think the ranking would probably be a placeholder), whereas 8 chapters ago, Bleach ended with this unintentionally (?) hilarious gem:

http://www.mangareader.net/bleach/478/19

...Yeah, I'm thinking it's a placeholder.

[DemoMansopp]

I see another One Piece break coming up. This is like... the second or third one since the beginning of the arc? Then again, the amount of detail is definitely over that of Bleach and especially Naruto. Though I seriously want to bang my head on a wall that all the breaks happened on cliff hangers.

Also the rankings comfused me after the "split between sides" aspect.

[Silverblade]

What I wanna know is why there are two sides, each with their own lead color.

Medaka Box and Kuroko no Basket have their anime starting on 4th and 7th of April respectively. So this is an anime welcoming issue of Jump, sort of.

Even Shonen Jack tries something different once in blue moon.

[The Spaceman]

Yeah Naruto has earned this low ranking for that chapter.

Hm. I would have thought they would eat up the chibi stuff.
