I do see the pacing problems, it's more annoying than the recaps but that's just to fill the time slot. I would say Deku, Bakugo, Momo are some of my favs but watching the USJ arc Tsuyu is actually a good character w/ some best girl traits. Can't get with the hands, everything else about her is fine lol.
I was not talking about when the anime started though, at least not this time. I was talking about when the series I was just beginning. As you can see in the graph, the sales skyrocketed from volume 1 to 2 for a new series. That was when comparisons with One Piece, that had more or less the same pattern at the beginning, started. However, volume 3, 4, 5 and 6 suggested a decrease in sales... Volume 7 to 8 was when the anime started, I believe, because of the great boost there... I have to update this graph and see what pattern the sales have now, maybe I can do it later today.
Everything's accurate. Fav characters are Shouto (though he didn't do much in the first season) and All Might.
MHA had already went out of stock after the first week of its premiere volume release while Promised Neverland hasn't yet after a month despite the bigger print numbers 120k. It'll get a reprint in February with the second volume release but it won't be enough to topple MHA which had to go through many reprints of teh first volume because they kept selling out.
Didn't MHA have significantly less prints though?
First week MHA sold over 70k selling out immediately compared to Neverland's 50k selling less than half of its initially shipment and now its close to 90k after a month. Now the results of vol.2 will be a deciding factor since they're going to restock the first volume since its apparently hard to find in certain book chains now but I doubt its going to sell close to what MHA sold.
My Hero Academia went out of stock faster because its initial print was smaller.
And it went out of stock again with its second reprinting meaning it would have sold as much as AssClass first volume in its first week (120k) if they had shipped it with enough copies. Promised Neverland has been doing better than the majority of Jump's new series in its first volume post Naruto ending, the important thing here is that there's room to grow for it
I wouldn't completely say it's overblown, to be honest. There is one interesting thing to note though. The whole reason why MHA's popularity grew as it did is thanks to the fans. Even if the anime performed below expectations, it still is doing well enough in sales thanks to word of mouth on the net surrounding its hype. So, I think what we can take from here is that Shueisha should let the fans do their own thing if they want the series to spread.
The series did well for its first year after the anime premiered with the important thing here is that they moved the second season to a much better slot than sticking it with its previous channel's new morning slot.We honestly can't make assumptions out of these things since its unpredictable but all signs show it doing well. The Naruto comparisons were always overblown and I'm glad Shuiesha didn't try to market it as the next Naruto like how they pushed Toriko next to One Piece shamelessly which backfired.

I'm confident that we'll get at least 3 seasons... then again I'm just desperate to see the Hideout Raid arc animated. As I've mentioned before, the president of Bones said he wanted it to be a project they can keep coming back to. However, those are just words and doesn't take Shueisha into account. The series is doing well so far regardless.
Shokugeki no Soma will have a new season, the last season ended with this intention at least.
