Promised neverland quickly on its way to overtaking HeroAca.
.

Yes, of course, just wait for the third season and the movie ....

 

[ShenGao]

Damn, so 500k for volume 8 of Neverland, crazy! First volume sales have exceeded 500k for Neverland, 300k for Black Clover and 200k for Kimetsu no Yaiba. Hey, Kimetsu is doing quite nicely, I'm happy for the author.

Isn't that the print number?

 

[Belkac3m]

I was expecting less for hxh vol 35, vol 34 should be higher.

 

[De La Croissant]

I like Boku no Hero, but do you really think S3 and the movie are going to give that big boost? I mean, it happened to S2 because the block was different from S1, now the hopes are exclusively in the fight between AfO vs AM.

I don't know.

Neverland will probably continue to grow. We just have to wait for the Tezuka Awards results and see if Shinzo Abe will recommend it or recommend Kimetsu. XD

You're right, I used the Google Translate feature from Chrome and it confused me.

I'm 100% sure

Yeah, My prediction it´s 6 to 8 M

 

[101nemesis]

Oh it says digital is 30% of sales. And BLack Clover gets 300K.

So my calculation was spot on. Good to know. xD

HeroAca will maintain its performance, but I doubt it will have a huge boost or explode. Movie doesnt seem content wise something that would really make people who arent already watching rush out to buy the newest volume.

 

[Franz]

Why not ?

 

[SharkBait]

Why not ?

Who is there left to buy the catalog volumes of the series to push it to explosive new heights? If most of the people bought those volumes during and post~2nd season, when it was on a network where it got much more coverage than s1, then there is far less room for the series to grow and explode during and after s3 than it did during 2nd season. People arent going to rebuy volumes. The newest volume already sells much higher than the newest volume sold before s2 aired. Its yet to be seen (or doubtful) if the series can grow its popularity beyond those that already joined in the previous season.

[shoyoboyo]

Is that an actual thoughtful reply? Who are you and what did you do to Sharkbait?

 

[Franz]

How can it have already reached its peak in sales?

Hence sales of new volumes can only increase ....

 

[SharkBait]

But the question was if it will give it A BIG BOOST. Its not like an anime season guarantees a series will keep getting big boosts, I didnt see BLue Exorcist s2, , Food Wars s3 or say Shingeki s2 and its movies, giving the respective shows iterative boosts. Did Food Wars really dramatically increase its sales more than s1 did for it, with s3? Did Shingeki dramatically increase and reach an even greater peak after s2, than it did s1? I do not have these numbers on hand, but Im quite sure neither did in such a way that people thought they were notable increases.

Except, the events that will be animated in S3 were even more well received in the manga than the events in S2.

Spoiler

Especially the All Might vs AFO fight.

So, if people do talk about the series during said events and the buzz gets to those who haven't gotten into the show yet, there's a possibility for it to go higher. There will always be many who aren't following a particular series no matter how popular it gets. There is always room to grow if the quality remains and big twists and turns happen that shake the fandom (which is what S3 is animating. A massive turning point in the series). It's not a guaranteed thing but it's always a possibility.

Are you comparing Soma to My Hero?

 

[Tamil]

Well hopefully Food Wars gets bagged after this anime season. Someone put it out of it's misery.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Azami was a mistake.

So, only Hero Academia sales raised slightly while rest of titan titles sales dropped slightly?

Yep, I also think anime S3 will mean a huge boost to manga sales. I believe Haikyuu manga sales success was mainly because anime. I think Haikyuu is followed mainly by anime, while Hero Academia is followed by both anime and manga, so that can give MHA an advantage.

 

[De La Croissant]

Is it true that Death Note sold more than One Piece during its serialization? I mean, per volume.
