Remix releases are just meant for people who want to read a ton for cheap. They're basically magazines with only one series, the paper quality is garbage and they're full of ads. You're not supposed to collect them.

Manga is pretty cheap in Japan already, I'm sure they could just goto a used bookstore and pick up each of the tankobons for 100 yen each.. I assume those remixes cost about the same as regular Jump so you're better off buying used tankobons.

So Toriko is getting the Steel Ball Run treatment? Cool.

Steel Ball Run is getting bunkoban volumes, different from remix ones.

A bunkoban (文庫版) edition refers to a tankōbon printed in bunko format, or a typical Japanese novel-sized volume. Bunkoban are generally A6 size (105 × 148 mm) and thicker than tankōbon and, in the case of manga, usually have a new cover designed specifically for the release. In the case of manga, a bunkoban tends to contain considerably more pages than a tankōbon and usually a republication of tankōbon of the same title which may or may not have been out of print.

Thanks for letting me know. Never knew the paper quality is garbage and I guess it makes sense.

The point is they're sold in convenience stores so you can just impulse buy a couple while going to get other things. If you're planning to buy used volumes then you probably know you like the series already so you're not in the remixes' target audience.

When was the last time HZ got a print copy announcement? SnS is at 13 million which is good.

Bha cover look very nice on paper really. Dont know why people dont like it. Its better than Yuragi and souma. Theres is just some girl.

But it's not better than Hinomaru's cover. Kirihito is one of my personal fav's but even then most HZ's covers are great.

How much time after a series ends and what's the approximate ratio you guys perceive of series that get a Bunko edition? Popular series, sure, but how popular they must be to get one?

"Jekyll no Tsukaima" One-shot by Ishikawa Kouki (Golden Future Cup Entry 01 ) raw.

Yes, I'll never forget Tenohira Netsu O. I wish the Battlefield No. 5 mangaka`s spirit wasn't broken....

Speaking of different editions of volumes, I hope the Jojonium editions of Diamond is Unbreakable is announced soon.

Black Clover : 12 mangas + 1 novel : 4 200 000.

 

[vampire killer]

And people say BC is no good. The sales are amazing. I expect 8mil by the end of the year.

 

[XtrnlArdent]

The last of this chapter of Yuragi says that a new character is coming, TLR harem size inc, I hate that :/

Before coming to these thread I'd always thought that Black Clover was a big seller with all that CP and the situation in the polls, like a 500k per volume, I don't know why.

I went to the site and as I suspected it is light novels that have furigana! Cool! I was looking for something like that to have some refreshing practice after reading a "serious" light novel without furigana. Since I'm also interested in 絶叫学級 manga, I think I give the light novel a try. Let's see what's more they have to offer.

The illusion of editorial pushing lol

Black Clover : 12 mangas + 1 novel : 4 200 000.

So this was already a 300K seller? I knew backlog was big but this is weird.

Bc is selling better than World Trigger with no anime. So with the anime it should sell at least 600k per volume

 

[Tamil]

Those are copies in print..not sold.
