But the difference is that Bleach is running regularly and all regular running series need fan support. Though I kinda agree with you in the chance that Bleach fans may be pulling number 2, there is also a chance that Bleach is getting a Mago deja vu; selling strong, low rankings, ending soon (by that I meant it entered Final Arc officially).

I have another theory that the violence of the latest Bleach chapters is the reason it is purposely ranked low so that its near the back. Bleach has been getting a lot of Seinen vibes considering the amount of deaths and blood and parents wouldn't like that very much even in Japan. Naruto gets away with it considering the zombie angle and almost no deaths in the latest chapters and One Piece battles are more comedic in nature.

Mago sold well but not as much as Bleach. If anything Reborn would end first before Bleach considering Mago sold higher than Reborn. There would be international outrage if Bleach ended before Zero Squad was introduced and we get Buckbeard's name.

It's unlikely for your first paragraph. Bleach has those scenes in Deicide but it's still polling just above Toriko almost every issue around the time.

Which reminds me, another important question in Bleach is about Ichigo's birth. He is unaffected by Sir German Whites' gizmoes and the speech Aizen said still bugs me, saying Ichigo's an offspring of a shinigami and a.... probably Quincy. Yep, Mommy's probably German. What was her name again?

The question now would be do you think the parents are up to date in what happens in Bleach and keeping their kids from voting for it?

About Reborn! selling lower than Mago I haven't seen 1 Mago volume in Oricon charts aside from half yearly which broke into the 300K and I would be glad to be proven wrong.

I guess Bleach like Saint Seiya just got over-repetetive and the fans started losing interest but I wouldn't bet on Bleach ending anytime in the near 2 years

To Love-ru ended with 162 chapters, so it doesn't seem like the length is the big problem here, not saying that it's the actual problem. It was for the best anyway, enabling him to be as ecchi as he wants it to be with Darkness. But with Kubo's pacing, moving him into a monthly or bi-weekly magazine wouldn't be rather harmful than helpful with even less plot per month., more disgruntled fans and a drop of sales.

Her name is Masaki, but it's not like Uryu, Ryuuken or Souken are in any way german too.^^

And neither is "Sado Yasutora" in any way remotely Mexican :/

You might be thinking of the largest first printing numbers (and not sales) we got 2 months ago.

Toriko 18 - 580,000
Nurarihyon no Mago 18 - 420,000

Oh, your talking about that image. I remember now >.>

What image you guys are talking about?
Toriko first volume sold 5 miilions?

 

[Schabrak]

Toriko first volume sold 5 miilions?

Minus one zero. Not even OP reaches such numbers.

 

[Pirulito]

Thought it was absurd, but he said there was an image... so I needed to confirm that.
Well, thanks, anyway.

It seems Matsui's new manga features a demented looking smiley face with tentacles, wearing a cap and gown. Cool, can't wait.

In an interview concerning the film "ROAD TO NINJA" neighbor in Japanese cinemas, Kishimoto said that Naruto is heading to the conclusion and that he has the final printed clearly in mind (the part circled in green is where he speaks about the end).

To think a nation-wide paper would actually have that as an article..... but no problem, since it makes sense, considering it's the biggest thing since DBZ. So, Naruto ending in Japan is BIG news.

 

[Kaiten]

I'm curious when that end will be. Kishi is the king of stretching, but it seems like there is only so much plot left to stretch.
