In this thread, I'll present you the rank every Naruto chapter took in the Weekly Shōnen Jump Rankings, along with the ranks of some other leading manga series from the same magazine.




What are "WSJ Rankings"?​
Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump is currently the most popular manga magazine by far. Even the flops sell better than the high-sellers of many other magazines. As a result, they have the leverage to keep the magazine fresh by kicking out 2-3 of the worst performers every ten or so issues. Poor performers are measured by reader surveys, and volume sales if they’re high enough.

Some series survive due to extremely high volume sales, despite being ranked the lowest in the magazines. Living through even a single full year in the magazine is fairly difficult. Not only that, it’s practically a death sentence for a writer’s career in the magazine if their series get cancelled three times, not that it’s easy to get a slot after being cancelled twice.

We get a relatively accurate glimpse at what series are ranked where through the table of contents, which are organized primarily based on their positioning 7 chapters prior. Any series with color pages in that issue (which are primarily given to popular series, new series or one-shots), series with less than eight chapters, or series currently on their final chapter are not ranked and therefore are placed wherever the editors please. Any special chapters or one-shots are also not ranked.

The Reference​
For those who are new to the whole ToC thing, I will put this for reference:
CP = Color Page
ToC = Table of Content
So, every week, chapters which are ranked are the ones published 7 weeks prior. For example: the chapters ranked in issue #16 are the chapters that were published in issue #9.


I'll post all the rankings starting from the issue #1 of the year 2014.

Yet, these are the rankings based on which the WSJ decides which series deserve to be cancelled (Iron Knight being the recent one) and which series deserve to be continued and get an Anime adaptation.
These rankings, based on the Japanese reader surveys, are the ones people at WSJ are interested in and not in the opinions we, online readers have.
