Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2017] - Discussion and TOC Talk

[Tanzo]

Yuragi vol. 5 - 89,207 (6 days)
Vol. 6 - 77,399 (6 days)
.....Very disappointing to see.

Maybe Yuragi needs an anime announcement right now to keep up with the other series, even though Neverland is unreachable imo.

 

[Tamil]

Thanks.

So Neverland didn't overtake Gintama?

Robot is doing better than I could have imagined.

Also, Hero Academy was 13 pages again this week.

I think that sales for just TPN in general since it did get backlog sales.

Regardless, TPN did well and it's impressive it's that close to Gintama in first week sales.

Four Volumes in and Neverland has overtaken Clover with a decent margin in the same time frame. This past week was 6 days of sales. For comparison:

*107704 (6)│*136682│*150383│-------│-------┃*,150,383 (*20)┃2017/05｜ブラッククローバー 11

The future is bright for Neverland. The Ame Talk introduction last week also gave a boost for previous volumes. I expected higher for Robo as it has a huge first printing, more than any I've seen in recent years and it has Kuroko plastered on the wraparound. The biggest disappoint is Soma though personally. The last volume :
226262 (6)│292831│321402│338813│349840┃*,349,840 (*34)┃2017/05｜食戟のソーマ 24

In the same time frame of 6 days, its dropped again.

What was the last series that had really high sales before it's anime adaptation (excluding Assassination class)? Was it MHA/Soma?

 

[redon]

I have been following One Piece for almost 14 years (I saw first Anime episode in September 2003 with spanish dub in Telecinco channel). At the beginning of 2004 I started reading Manga online and Weekly Jump chapters every week. And then, at the end of 2004, I started official spanish version of the Manga until now.

For me, without a doubt, One Piece is the best Manga of all time. I hope we can read it at least another 10 years

 

[razerxs]

So Robo has the best first week sales of a new series since MHA? I recall both Yuuna, Neverland and BC only doing like 30k first week.

What was the last series that had really high sales before it's anime adaptation (excluding Assassination class)? Was it MHA/Soma?

There was chart posted here earlier.
Robot lands right in 6th place.

 

[Caiops]

Any reason for the older volumes of Neverland having a boost?

 

[Scruffy8642]

Man having all volumes selling ~20k is like the equivalent of an anime boost. That talk show did Neverland some crazy good. Boost it up even further. Where will it stop I wonder?

 

[Tamil]

Now Kimetsu needs to be featured in that talk show. That would be awesome. Recent chapter is great and KnY's strong point is hitting you with the feels. Tanjirou is a great MC.

I liked that post. Is there info on how other older big titles were selling prior to their anime? (One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Shaman King, Gintama, etc.)

I'd like to see more comparisons.

or maybe people switch out for the digital full color volume.

It also doesn't help that it takes 3 months to release a volume, as oppose to 2 months.

All references (so far) on this week's chapters to celebrate OP 20th anniversary (I don't think it's spoiler, let me know anyway)

There's also an unintentional straw hat in Yuragi, but it isn't fair to call that since that since Karura worn it long before the tribute's chapter.

 

[Tamil]

It's safe to say all chapters this week will have a OP reference.

So what about different mangaka's doing a tribute drawing for the 20th anniversary?

 

[Nakura]

I would assume the tributes would be in that special One Piece magazine, right?

The magazine is out already and they're not present (I think). There will be plenty of other things to celebrate as well. We should see it soon.

 

[N0R7H]

It's been 14 years since I started One Piece and 3 and a half since I dropped it. Maybe it's time to pick it up again. Or to never read it again. I really liked it until Marineford, probably was one of the best mangas I've ever read, but after that it was a pain to read, and I really don't like Oda's drawing (I want all your hate over me).

 

[Nakura]

It's a shame that I could never get into One Piece. As much as I tried, it never settled with me. I still respect the series greatly though, so congrats to Oda. And I certainly look forward to all those tributes!

The most beautiful tribute

Togashi's was so small i had to search the chapter 3 times:
