This is an interesting way of including RxL in the Jump Super Push lol. I wish Yuuna would rank closer towards the middle of each week's TOC. Hopefully the anime adaptation will be successful in boosting sales. What will we complain about or use to judge the success/failure of new series if Spring Weapon really does end? lol
Boruto just kinda just faded after the initially push didn't it? It might just become the next GT at any moment if this persists.
Say it to One Piece. XP
I saw a chart @ruggia made at some point when I was looking through older posts from these forums, it had initial volume sales for a lot of manga in WSJ and what their present sales were for vol 1 I think, it was from about 7-8 months ago?
One Piece has the the exception to the rule for over 10 years now. People still using its placement as an argument for anything are just fooling themselves at this point.
Ranking has never and I mean NEVER been a placement of quality and this has been repeated by many people for years and years to now with YonkouProd's video. This isn't an indication of anything and just makes the PUSH Campaign even more obvious. Add insult to injury is that Dr. Stone is 2# yet sells worse than the other PUSH titles even fucking Robot which is at the bottom in fact its the best selling title of the new batch from last year despite its placement, not sure what that says.
Well, I can understand putting an already popular series in intermediate positions, but I would find it silly if they did the same with the most popular series in Japan.
It is always good to be vigilant, TOC ranking is an indication of how interesting the readers find the series at that given moment, it can impact the series sales in the future, it is the first indicative that the series is not going that well and people may start to think that it is not worth buying it. We can see examples in Toriko, Bleach, Gintama. It is not a big concern right now, but if constantly decreases we can see that the series is starting to decay.
They only people who care about this sort of thing at this point are fans of the new series who want them to survive and BC fans who see it as the only outlet to justify the series existence. Jump cant afford to let go of any of its top selling titles at the moment.
Also the rankings for the recent string of chapters haven't even been bad to begin with.
The readers put One Piece there, that's why it is the most popular one. If you guys don't believe that TOC is indication of readers votes, what we are doing here? Pretending it is?
All the more ironic that the volumes covering the current arc were the highest in the series and even the latest one is doing better despite having on anime airing whereas Dr. Stone's sales have actually been decreasing despite being 2# on the TOC.
You do realize that its been stated several times that the Editor in Chief ultimately is the one who decides the placement right not the readers. Readers might like a specific chapter but the editor may want to PUSH a new series to the front so that it gets more attention.
You do realize that we have hundreds of TOCs proving that top series are successful and bottom series are canceled and that despite having some pushing now and then, most part of the TOC is faithful to what readers think it is good, successful series never get too far from the top and it is rare a bad series getting good rankings all of a sudden. It is possible to have good rankings despite bad sales, we've seen this with many series here and the most remarkable one is Hinomaru Zumou, which I don't think you disagree that Jump editors didn't push it at all. We will see what happens with Dr. Stone, maybe they are pushing it or it is just getting good rankings without selling well, if it is the first case, editors will come back to reason pretty soon and throw it to the beasts. Let's see...
Samon <3 Numa Shun really needs to come back with another great gag comedy since it seems like Spring Weapon is ending and Saiki sadly may end soon as well. Hopefully it'll sell better than Samon did though
Hunter x Hunter goes in hiatus so much and don't get canceled anyway that the TOC is really meaningless for it, people don't vote for that because of it. Haikyuu and My Hero Academia rankings has not been bad, the point of the conversation is that My Hero Academia was used to be better at the rankings and now it is decreasing, which can be a indication for the future, but nothing to concern right now. I hasn't been following Haikyuu, reading or seeing sales, so I don't know if it is decreasing in sales and/or the quality has dropped.
Please stop ;-;
No need to concern. Although people deny that although there are TOCs proving it, Kuroko no Basket had low rankings for years before the anime. There is some fujoshi or fudanshi advocating for them there in Shueisha. XD
