100 chapters? Acting series can go on for decades if the writer wants it, just look at the 16yo series Skip Beat or the over 40yo series Glass Mask.

i dont know if counting a series that got lengthy hiatus count.

Act Age isn't that good. More time won't save it.

 

[Reigen]

Isn't it time for a new football manga? The world cup gonna start next week.

 

[iceemperor]

More time would have saved Best BLue and Demon's Plan.

Demon's Plan was doomed from the beginning. There was nothing going for it. It's become a meme on 5ch. The MC was too generic, the setting had potential but wasn't properly setup and explained and the punchlines didn't have as much punch.

Soccer and Baseball!!

This is my problem with one-shots. You never know what's going to happen.

Not always when it's from a veteran. I'm not saying it's guaranteed a serialization but given it's Shimabu his chances of getting serialized are pretty high. Build King had a good reception from what I saw.

Can we reminisce on how bad Demon’s Plan was

If it does get serialized, I'm thinking it won't happen until 2019.

I'm curious about Kishi's new series, though. Was that stated for this year or later?

This year, but i feel like they said it was coming in 2017 back in 2016

*Check Kinnikuman last chapter in Mangadex* *Chapter 626*

Still is sad how it looks like Kinnikuman doesn't exist anymore. If it's still running, the more reason to continue loving it ;_;

PD: That chapter 626 made me understand better why Yudetamago's favorite current Jump title is Hinomaru Zumou. Wolfman is a yokozuna.

They did. I'm just gonna assume they have high expectations of it to be a million seller and therefore probably fine tuning it.

 

[Newkerzy]

At most, I think it'll have GinSaji levels of fame. It sells somewhere between 800-900k, while just barely nearing a million.

 

[ElJin]

Looking at Shoseki 06/02 and 06/03, can anyone explain me why Black Clover had such a boost in sales? It was almost out TOP 50, but suddenly it is TOP 25.

Neverland had a good boost also, but because we had anime announcement last week, but I see no reason for BC...

Game trailer and release date?
Quality anime episodes and word of mouth?

 

[TM2]

Just how much online presence does BC actually have? It doesn't seem like much even compared to its contemporaries. Even Kimetsu seemed to have a stronger and generally more positive presence than BC despite selling fewer copies.

How do you define and quantify *online presence*?

Ironically enough Westners talk more about Black Clover than the Japanese they are largely indifferent to it. Kimetsu's announcement garnered more attention than Neverland's it has a pretty big cult following already.

 

[Franz]

I agree that BC is not present online, but it does not seem to me that Kimetsu is aloof.

What source? You can even see it on Twitter the amount of discussion BC gets in comparison.
