Id probably buy all of Kochikame just for the hell of it.

 

[Leoat12]

I never though that I would be alive to see Kochikame ending! XD
40 years, 200 volumes... I want to know if somebody collected all of them . hahaha
Well, I respect a long run like that, principally because it was with very few (or none) pauses, it is an example. For the magazine it is a good thing because they will have the chance to put something in its place that will sell much better, which is not difficult. Kochikame was still in the magazine as a way of reverence towards an incredibly long serialization, nothing more.

Akimoto has a tendency to say "looking forward to your next series" to people like Kishimoto who just finished a 15 year long manga, so I get the feeling he doesn't have retirement in mind.

also, I am actually amazed SnK sold more than one piece did at the same point in time. that seems so... wrong to me. i don't know. like it bothers me on a personal level.

oh well, such is life. I guess you can chalk it up to the fact that it had an extremely high quality anime series and had the fuck promoted out of it, also 90% of AoT's appeal is the mystery so it makes even more sense for anime watchers to move to the manga.

but still.

Much different print runs as OP wasn't the 3 million per volume seller it was back then but on the plus side One Piece had several boosts throughout its run one big one in 2009 with the release of Strong World which had people buying everything back from the first volume onward while SnK had the typical anime boost and has died down significantly after that, some people are saying it might get a second boost with the upcoming second season next year but those same people also said it'll get a boost with last year's live action movies which didn't really occur.

Is not known if the 60 Million is worldwide or just Japan. It seems to be Worldwide given that by the end of October last year it had 52 Million copies in print Worldwide, so 8 Million copies more in the span of 2-3 more volumes(In Japan. Around 7.5 Million, and 0.5 Million overseas) seems quite right.
Also this wasn't announced in the volume but by a Twitter, making it seeming to be Worldwide sales.

Still, Attack on Titan since the anime boost got +2.5 Million copies per volume, more than One Piece got at the time. At the time Slam Dunk had the print record of 2.5 Million.

Any early end of year sales predictions?

 

[ChocoBar9]

Any early end of year sales predictions?

One Piece and Shingeki no Kyojin in the top 2

 

[Tamil]

It could be One Piece & Haikyuu because Haikyuu was really close to AOT in the half way mark. Who knows how much season 3 will help in backlog sales.

It's going to be funny to see Hunter x Hunter on the top 30 list.

 

[RubyR91]

Assassination classroom might be a possibility as well. It did release 2 volumes back to back plus the series has tremendous legs.

 

[RafaFedKilla]

Red Sprite seems like it was written by children playing with toys. No sense of stakes or tension at all. They are already attacking the capital. What is going on!?

 

[Tamil]

So is Kochikame, jojo's bizarre adventure & Kinnikuman are the longest ongoing series that are/were from jump?

Isn't Captain Tsubaza also running?

 

[jagman1x3]

Captain Tsubasa is ongoing, and I think City Hunter (maybe also Fist of the North Star, not sure about that) has a sequel in Comic Zenon.

Kochikame is the longest continuously running manga while Jojo TECHNICALLY ended it's streak with Part 6 when it changed to Steel Ball Run and then Araki later integrated it into the Jojo franchise from there. Kinnikuman is an interesting case since it did end got a sequel series that was abandonded and then the mangakas went back to continue the manga where it left off so it really hasn't been running until recently.

 

[tirakai]

Otokojuku also has an ongoing sequel if you're purely talking about old stuff that's still around, though it's had some big gaps between series.

I think the original manga started the year after Jojo.

i know it wasn't, i wasn't asking for the reason, i was just stating my dissatisfaction with the situation. im just saying, in my opinion the first 20 volumes of OP are several orders of magnitude better than the first 20 volumes of SnK, so it reeks of injustice to me.

but i understand that my opinion has nothing to do with whether or not people choose to buy manga volumes, so i accept it.

Does anyone here know if there is a reliable way to buy JUMP weekly from Japan? Like, somewhere that ships internationally for a reasonable price every week, and doesn't take THAT long to arrive?

i kind of doubt there would be, but maybe?

 

[lobito180]

Quick question: Was Captain Tsubasa a weekly series? How could Takahashi draw 30+ pages every single week, sometimes even more? I know it's been a long time ago, but did he have a special treatment or something?

 

[Mammo]

beside everything everyone already mentioned, Hell Teacher Nube & Saint Seiya are still a thing

 

[Deathinteresse]

does anybody know if Shuumatsu no Harem (World's End Harem) is selling well?
amazon only sells used copys at the moment

 

[Ihore]

Its doing great.

60,000,000 its just Japan not worldwide.
