The figures in the parentheses are last year's. It looks like most of the series declined compared to last year. It's amazing that Hunter×Hunter can be so high with so few new volumes out.

 

[Maxy Barnard]

wow, what a decline. i'll just blame the economy and be done with it.

God knows where Hunter x Hunter would be if it came out regularly

Also Medake completely dropped off this year? Shame, I assumed volume sales were where it did business

 

[meeedoooz]

but isn't there one volume less for naruto than last year ?

It probably made it around somewhere between 30 and 50 this year as well, but I don't know those between 30 and 50, so...

Wow, Naoki Iwamoto's back in action early. I'm expecting and hoping for his comeback series sometime next year.

The one-shot below that XVED's art style is somehow familiar and looks good. Maybe just resembling someone's, not sure by who.

That's Sugie Tasuku-sensei's work. (He won the JUMP Treasure Award for Newcomers in July 2008 with his OS Adrenaline.) It's quite possible you might remember him from somewhere before. He also did Koshien no Mamono in 2011's JUMP Next! [Winter], if I remember correctly. Back then he'd also been collaborating with that author, Taoka Muneaki. (A former winner of JUMP's Story King Award.)

Koshien no Mamono looked darn cool from the preview pic. I never actually got to read it, though. : (

Oh yeah, I think Sugie was also a buddy of HQ!!'s Furudate-sensei.

The sales drop year over year is surprising. Piracy? It's kind of funny to see Sket Dance selling almost as much as Bleach.

[lasleels]

can i kindly ask whoever gets hold of the cover to post it as soon as they get it? thanks so much guys

 

[FanOfAniManga]

I'm very happy to see both AC and Beelzebub get CPs again so soon.

However, I have to wonder about the timing of Beelzebub's CP. As this is only three weeks after the last one, it kinda feels like it's getting promoted like crazy, like Reborn, Kuroko, Medaka, Nisekoi, Kurogane and Haikyu were months ago.

Is the climax of the latest arc really going to be that great to warrant another CP? Or is it because it just so happens to do with Christmas that the editors feel it needs one?

 

[Maxy Barnard]

Kurogane rising up again surprised me, as the last few weeks have been... shoddy. but then I can't remember what happened 8 weeks ago so maybe I'm just being thick.

Oh god oh jeez can we stop calling things pimped? Like... Man, you have to be on the level of Blue Dragon or Maison du Penguin before you can truly call yourself pimped. These guys? They get righteous promotion.

Anyway, the TOC, um... HQ is back in 7th. That's nice. And although I've hated (HATED) Bleach of late, it's definitely been nothing if not fan-pleasing, so bully to that recovering its position. It's always good to do well on your final storyline, anything less would be depressing.

 

[meeedoooz]

i wanted to see how this chapter of naruto is ranked compared to OP . bleach is rising while gintama is still in a not so good position

cool toc

This title has been bothering me for a while, shouldn't the penguin have the French orthograph too ?

Anyway the surprise of this TOC is bleach, it has never been that high in ages. Souma is treated kindly, 23 pages for the 3d chapter doesn't happen that often, does it ?

I've always assumed it's because the penguin part of it is really out of place. Either that or none of us have ever cared enough about it to adjust the title. I mean... Really, I don't think anyone around here's given it a second thought before now.

On Soma: hasn't just about every series this year's had extra pages for their third chapters?

I think "Maison de Penguin" is actually the correct title, and that it's the author who made the mistake. The original title is pronounced "Mezon do pengin", and as far as I've seen it, the "do" has always translated to a "de" and never a "du". Do expect these kinds of errors a lot all over the English and Japanese-speaking world... unless you come here.

Anyways, I didn't realize Bleach was so high either until now. Aren't people sick of it dragging on so long already?

 

[k-dom]

Well correct French can be Maison de Penguin if it's its name or Maison du pingouin if it's a common name. But I guess that indeed, nobody really cares. Btw why do you say it was pumped Maxy barnard ? After a look at it, it did not had that much color pages.

I'd have to back and check, but it spent most of its time as a permanent number 5 in the TOC, with many thinking Oishi had special treatment from the editor in chief. It even got to the point where Gin Tama was making jokes about it, I think.

[nyamonyamo]

I know sin class is fun to read but does it warrant that high post in toc? I really dont think so. It feels like the author doesnt even try hard to get that place. Every week is like new classmate/person over hyped as best killer then next week converted and the usual moral of the story. The other authors tried hard with their gags drawing and research. Even tho their story might be cliche but at least it has complexity. Its what i feel anyway.
