Id imagine digital sales have crept up to the 40-60% range now. Digital sales are booming.

Baseless statements tho, Shark. You've got no steady data to back you up on that for any series nor do you know the distribution of the majority of the digital sales among the different demographics.
You're downplaying the complexity of an entire industry by just throwing numbers out without any credible data.

I think that the comparison with Toriko is the best one with what we have for Black Clover for now. Even if Toriko was bigger. BC is a success but with the promotion that it had, it didn't reach such point.

No problem to admit it. And I like BC.

Bozebeats cover looks hot, as does elDLIVE.


Whens the next Vigilantes MHA?

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Gintama wins this round for me, simple yet effective

That BOZEBEATS cover sure looks cool, to bad it didnt went anywhere, good luck to the author for next time

September 4th.

Look like for #36/37 :
Kimetsu no Yaiba (Lead color)
The Promised Neverland (Color)
Akira AMANO or Yôichi AMANO (On 5ch, the guy talks about the AMANO "which is successful" so I assume it's Akira) Oneshot (Color)
Jigokuraku - Special chapter (Color)

 

[Aipom626]

Yet another killer cover for Act-Age. Whoever is designing them should really help out the person in charge of Dr. Stone's covers. Saiki looks really peaceful as well

 

[MangAniMY]

Act-Age looking fine as well for the third cover, but honestly looking at it have a almost ending feel, luckily seem it will stay for a bit longer.

personally don't like BC, KnY and Boze.

best would either be Haikyuu or Gintama

Saiki is bidding farewell to his readers

 

[Nemesis]

That Saiki cover, jesus. I'm tearing.

Another Killer cover for Act-Age. Please translate more this manga!

Kimetsu is good because it has the best pillar on it. (sorry Rengoku fans)

So with Kimetsu is it likely to get anime info for the next issue?

Notice how Sharkbait is defending BC with baseless claims yet you don't see Ice King popping in saying "Proof?? Certainties??". Really makes you think.

I don't know what it is about this Act-Age cover but something seems off about it. I think it's the reddish tint around the eyes making them look exhausted.

Honestly Kimetsu information can come at any time, even in a regular Jump issue. Just give it time, we don't even have an air date.

 

[ChocoBar9]

He's not flamboyant enough to be the best pillar.

 

[OtterBrigade]

Since I doubt Kimetsu is airing before TPN I want studio/key staff info on the later before any more info on the former (aside from maybe a season it will air in)

 

[Franz]

Go study the pattern of every successful manga before it.

Done.


And I find it hard to believe that the peak has already arrived ....

Hahaha...no. Its boost is actually lower than World Trigger's in fact even with an anime boost its losing out to Neverland which doesn't even have an anime. I would bring up Toriko comparisons but that actually sold well in its first year.

Hahahah.....no.

Now take out the comparison with Neverland, but really?

You know that we talk about the most publicized seire of the last few years?

And do you know, at least I hope, that Toriko made his debut at a time when the sales were higher?

I guess not ...

We all did man...we all did.

Er, seventh best-selling manga of the first half of 2018, ahead of Neverland ....

No, it's not a success. No, sir.

Slam dunk will be the best selling manga in 2018 imo

No problem to admit it. And I like BC.

Furthermore, he did not sneso compare the two manga.

Toriko has 8 years of publication, Black Clover only 3.

And in addition Toriko began in times in which digital sales did not exceed much those paper.

I repeat, seventh, and I say the seventh best series of the first half of 2018.

But it's not a success, no ......

What should you think?

No, seriously, what does this provocation mean?

It is not a matter of defending but of telling the truth.

Black Clover is a success, it will not be at the level of Hero or Neverland, but it fits perfectly in the average of Toriko or Reborn.

Ah Gotouge and her unlimited love for bicolor hair. I kind of wish if Tokitou is on the cover they would show his sword color. Still among "pillar cover" volume 8 with Rengoku on it is my most favorite.
