Preview images for the series

 

[Thehoennhippo]

Rock and Roll one is the one that piques my interest the most. Any indication of anything other than KimiWaru ending? Has the Marco Polo slot been filled yet?

Shiroyama, Yodukashi and Super String already ended, and Kimiwaru is confirmed to end soon. Other series that could potentially be wrapped up soon include Tatari, Student 0, Kimi wa 008 and Ryuu to Ichigo

 

[Torca]

Ryuu to Ichigo isn't ending, Yanamoto-sensei confirmed it in his blog after a recent absolute kino of a twist.
Tatari, in my opinion, is also safe. I wouldn't bet on it ending for now. We will need to see how the new series will do, but I would guess that Te no Geka would be getting an axe before it.
Student 0 is ending for sure, and it should be relatively soon.
008 looks like a series moving toward the conclusion, but it may be some kind of bait too.

Utsuranain-desu was great, and I silently hoped for serialization of it. Out of the same butch, I hoped that Hands Two would also get serialized, but we need to wait for them a bit longer.
Batou Yuzuo published a musical-themed oneshot before which was chill, but nothing really that stood out. LINK FOR ANYONE INTERESTED.
We're getting two fantasy series in this batch, I'm actually surprised that they needed Frieren anime success to try more of a "similar" vibe manga. Albas duo published a oneshot at the end of the last year which was an isekai clinic story, I'm not the biggest fan of the isekai genre but it looked cozy.
Can't say much about Hatamachi Mako, but their art looks very pleasant and it really suits the theme of job isekai manga.
And, last but not least, the Itoyan author is back! Two months ago they published a oneshot in Jump+ (LINK) so I thought they could be gone from Sunday. Before that, they published a oneshot in WSS (LINK) that had more than their very odd comedy elements, and I would be keener if they could incorporate some of that aspects into this new serialization.

 

[Bomber D Rufi]

Not much but here are descriptions of the two series Mogura didn't cover. I for one am glad Komatsu and their incredibly amazing artwork paired with their broken sense of humor is back.

Hm, which series do you all think could be successfull in the magazine? Am new to Shonen Sunday so am not that great with how new series are ranked and all.

 

[Mammo]

any series with a "male lead meet quirky girl" have a chance of staying lol, it's the sunday cheat code, like exorcists in modern jump and harem in wsm

the fist series has that from the oneshot, so my money is on that

 

[OtterBrigade]

like exorcists in modern jump

most of those get axed though? Nothing between Jujutsu Kaisen (2018) and Nue (2023) survived and it doesn't look like Shadow Eliminators is going to buck that. I agree on the other two though.

you're forgetting about CSM and Ayakashi
maybe exorcists in jump aren't as successful as harem and eccentric girls in their perspective magazines, but those type of series seems to have an advantage over other types within jump itself in recent years, at least from my pov

 

[Torca]

Mammo's take is oversimplified, but I would also bet on Utsuranain-desu, simply because I can read this oneshot and judge its quality compared to other stuff lol.

It's a great story with the potential to expand on its premise with more drama and comedy. Art is an absolute mood and has a unique vibe which other series don't have going for. I was sure for Shiroyama to Mita-san when it was turned into a full series, and I'm also confident now.

To add to the above, Konoshi Maruka's talent speaks for itself. It didn't even take them 2 years from debuting to get a serialization, their 3rd ever-published oneshot got adapted, and the 2nd one was the 8-page long oneshot done for Super so it hardly counts but let it be their 1st oneshot was overwhelmingly well-received for a reason. Even Murata praised them on Twitter, funnily he put their name next to Ruri Dragon's author and Galaxias's Hatezaka Ao, as the huge talents from Jump, Magazine & Sunday lol.

Oh, there's also a funny theory circulating on Twitter right now that Te no Geka author is the former EiC of Sunday, Ichihara. In a recent interview Ichihara is introduced as a current Sunday brand author, in the interview it's mentioned he's working under a pen name. So people started to think, and the guess is that he's a co-creator for Te no Geka.

 

[Thehoennhippo]

Could explain all the promo despite the sales lol.

Kimi to Warui koto ga shitai is ending

NOOO

Kimi wa 008 is ending

Can't say it is surprising tbh, the writing was pretty much on the wall. Too bad the series never got popular enough to get Matsuena's action in anime form again, but it was a solid run. Wonder what he's gonna do next.
