Do we know the sales for Jujutsu Kaisen and Act Age after the reprint?

 

[Tarot]

the staff really had nothing to do with Bleach not coming back. Sequels have different key staff all the time (One Punch Man S2, Jojo Part 5, etc). At this point if you were Shueisha and TV Tokyo and just funded a movie that apparently flopped would you be ready to adapt more for that series? Or would you go fund a Dr. Stone or something from another magazine into anime?

The staff is actually one of the main reason why the anime never returned. The character designer has mentioned it as a joke many times that they'd need to "kidnap" Abe for the anime to return. Sure sequels have different key staff but Pierrot has the rights to the series unlike Madhouse did for OPM and most of their staff are spread out everywhere. Jojo also isn't a long running show like Bleach so it makes no sense to compare those productions. There aren't many people in the industry capable of handling long projects like that and make sure it has consistently above average production values.

I think if Shueisha REALLY wanted another Bleach anime they would find a way without the original staff coming back

act age reprints haven't happen yet (7/30), and Jujutsu reprint fall on the weekly Oricon so you probably have to wait until this week Oricon sale for it to have a chance appearing.

NEW 7/30 ジャンプ アクタージュ　act－age 1、2 宇佐崎　しろ／マツキ　タツヤ (Act age)

Moreso than Shueisha, TV Tokyo leads the production committee for the anime (its TV Tokyo, Dentsu, Pierrot). That TV Tokyo put in quite some money into this movie and so far it doesn't seem like they'll get it back. We'll have to see if they'll invest more money into Bleach in the future.

poor children got cut

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

This Viz issue confirms what I suspected: no new title added until Build King/Kishimoto new manga

 

[MangAniMY]

With OPM and the other monthly manga, those will give them some time before deciding to pick up a new series

or you know a really successful series in the next round, not necessarily build king/kishimoto

 

[Tamil]

Just give up on Bleach. Kimetsu is here , recent chapters/developments were great.

I really want to know the anime staff so badly. The wait is too much

Even though like the first 24 chapters of SBR were serialized in WSJ, it feels weird seeing volume 1 there.

My thoughts as well. With the almost constant stream of Jump Starts and One Shots this year, paired with the fact OPM chapters only seem to be getting longer, they’ve barely had the opportunity to release any this year. They were always behind, but they’ve gotten considerably more so, so I fully expect them to take advantage of these gaps between rounds and the fact they’ve just lost to a series to at least close that gap somewhat.

So.... Yuuna is now a battle manga

 

[WyldViolet]

Lol I had finally resigned myself to it never actually happening. I'm hyped though.

 

[Caiops]

Yeah, but i think it was planned since the beginning of the manga.

Still good.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I've had a Medaka Box deja-vu with last Yuuna-san chapter. And I liked it.

I wonder how much Nisekoi's movie will do. It's really late and the franchise is pretty much dead (Bleach at least still had its mobile game and new novels being released), until they release an app game/something new from Komi/artbook (please)
Outcome could be different because of different audiences though.
