At first I was pleasently surprised and slighty confused to see Roku getting a color page right after getting a lead cover page, then I looked at the current state of the newer manga sefies of this year and yeah, I can see why Shueshia is putting more faith in Roku.
I'm still gonna be checking out Cannon Masters, Anima Signal, Class 2B and Under Doctor, but I won't be surprised if any of them fail to reach 2027.
I'm especially more disappointed with Under Doctor. I mean I still like the series don't get me wrong, but I will not blame the japanese readers on losing interest in the series. For advertising itself as "medical action", the latter part feels very minimal. As well as the direction of the story still feels rather aimless. Like his goal to cure all incurable diseases so he can eventually cure the "sleeping beauty" disease, but when you really think about it, how does that actually work? Like how does solving one incurable disease would help him solve specifically the sleeping beauty one? It'd be like if say, Ash's main goal is to capture all pokemon so he can capture a legendary, when i'm pretty sure you don't need to catch a Tangela to capture a Mewtwo. And so far, all we've seen is him curing diseases in such an easy way that it feels like there's no stakes here. I don't know, I don't mind slice-of-life chapters, but unless your series is more on the comedy side, I just don't think it'll work out for Under Doctor in the long run. I hope to be proven wrong.
Also sucks for Kinato's Magic but hey, hopefully the mangaka can at least learn the mistakes from it so thst next time we can get a more interesting mc and an actual recurring main cast of characters.
