Meh cover, i wanted a typical one with the hierarchy very clear in the eyes outside the obvious big 3, but if you look at the cover in compressed size instead of zoomed or full size you can notice some differences, so for me feels like:

Tier 1: One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen & My Hero Academia
Tier 2: Blue Box, Sakamoto Days & Akane Banashi
Tier 3: The Elusive Samurai, Witch Watch, Yozakura Family, Undead Unluck, Kill Blue, Nue's Exorcist, Kagurabachi & maybe Roboco
Tier 4: Green Green Greens, Policeman Chojo, Astro Royale, Kyokuto Necromance and Dear Anemone

There are some tricking perspectives going on like TES looking as big as Sakamoto, Yozakura looking slightly small, Necromance looking a bit bigger because it has a color page and GGG looking better because it's paired in the middle of other bigger series but when you actually look better it's the same size as the other Tier 4 series, also since the bottom of the cover is cut it makes Dear Anemone looks almost invisible lol

 

[animeexpert]

Huh?? This feels like the most underwhelming group cover ever... feels like an edit of existing illustrations than a new art..

I didn't even realize DA is there. LMAOOOO. Super small and hardly noticeable...

This is so messed up bruhhh

 

[Dongus]

Look at that Astro Royale doing his best S-cry-ed impression. When the inevitable rival shows up with cutting powers and a Stand, we'll know for sure what Wakui is up to. I have my eye on you, Wakui.

Bejeebus that Nue placement is horrifying to look at. If it wasn't for Dear Anemone tanking it, it would've had it's first bottom 1 placement. Good thing that village arc ended very swiftly.

I'll say again, I don't think Nue is going to last
Genuinely grim placement

 

[coldmess]

Wouldn’t be surprised if Nue doesn’t get a cover for
It’s anniversary. Also, Chojo is first??? I’m happy but surprised.

 

[pennycryman]

I don't mind Nue, but as a Green Green Greens bro, this makes me dream. Also, Chojo #1 huh. Can't stop, won't stop.

 

[Friki]

Policeman Chojo steals the Sakamoto fans orr?

 

[Dongus]

Chojo's actually looking to become the Reiwa Kochikame.

 

[shonenblue]

Sad to see Nue so low. Chojo keeps trucking, wonder if this is a bit of an editorial push or if it really is just that popular.

 

[MugiwaraPatrick]

Nue almost dead last?! Noooooo

 

[Broseph]

Chojo is doing surprisingly great. Consistently been near the top so you know survey response must be great. The Nue placements are somewhat dangerous now. I don't read it so is there a specific reason why this current arc isn't being received well at all? Did they switch up the formula or something?

 

[echo]

Chojo on its way to being a big hit in Japan but will never get a physical release by Viz

Bruh. I have zero interest in Chojo, but hopefully its Yaoi fandom grows

No, I think it is pretty standard. Right now we are in a “training” arc. I mean there is some good stuff, but what I will commend Kawae in doing is trying to stretch themselves. But one of the things that I have to say is that there are some things that they seriously need to improve upon.

 

[pennycryman]

I will say though that during new series debuts, rankings tend to be weird, hence why a good chunk of the established roster is sitting in the lower half, and stuff like EluSam in the bottom 5. So Nue's position isn't as dire as people think it is. Though who knows, maybe Green Green Greens truly is the more popular series.
