Not sure of the numbers, but it’s one place above Slam Dunk 15.

 

[TxxT]

Volume 32 sold 343,256 in its first week
Volume 33 sold 267,683 in its first week

Volume 32 had a big dip in sales, most likely because of the cover lol, meanwhile volume 33 has already surpassed MHA 19 and HQ 32's numbers in the 6 week timeframe

MHA 19-
605.050

Haikyuu 33-
625,572

 

[DoctorNero]

How much of the volume sales profits do manga authors get? Like if a volume costs 400 yen, how much of that sum is going to the author as a royalty?

I think volume 33 also had stock issues but it recovered quickly same thing with Neverland and Black Clover. I think the 19th volume of MHA have already outsold it given recent numbers.

10-15%
Also it’s volume printed not sold.

CHARTS!

How close is it to Haikyuu now?

pretty close

MHA 19 will have more sales than Haikyuu 33 because it released a month earlier, I was just giving the numbers for the first 6 weeks, Haikyuu 33 would be on track to outsell MHA 19 but i dont think it will that easily due to the anime/movie, Haikyuu 32 even had about 30k more sales in week 4 but after the movie sales increased

Haikyuu sales have just stagnated is all.

Sorachi and Kenta (Sket Dance) celebrating the "ending", not sure which one of them in the pic, guessing Sorachi.

So if a volume has an initial print of 200 000 copies, the author gets paid 200 000*40=8 000 000. Something like that.

It depends on the publisher and the threshold. Basically if a series doesn't meet a certain amount in its first volume the mangaka would more than likely get next to nothing from its profits. A lot of these guys are under contract so they already get paged a fixed salary from the publisher where the bulk of their revenue come from licensing profits. Its why a lot of mangaka end up not getting paid for their assets since everything goes directly to the publisher and they still wind up get paid the fixed amount through their contract.

Yeah and times 4 or 5 for the number of volumes release that year.

Sorachi said in an interview he gets peanut from licensing stuff, he said “buy the volumes if the readers want him to live in luxury”
Saiki author said the same thing on a deleted tweet. Something along the line of i haven’t seen the profit from licensing stuff
Also multiple manga about mangaka/editor usually portray some sort of royalties revenue so there is some true to it, or if you compare this to publishing books, they do get royalty. I have to disagree with what you say here
If a manga doesn’t meet the threshold just lower the print number for the next volume.

And the big guys like Oda, Isayama, Furudate, Horikoshi, Kishimoto, Togashi? How does it work for them? Didn't Oda make +20 million last year? Was that just from licensing profits and other stuff, and did Jump pay him this 10% thing?

 

[TxxT]

Sharing MHA first due to being in discussed

is there any way to find the first 6 weeks of sales for a series, trying to find the numbers for Haikyuu 30 and 31 in that time

They get paid the same fixed salary plus profits from manga sales. Oda is in a league of his own since One Piece is a merchandising juggernaut so he probably makes more through licensing than anything through Jump itself. There's a lot of mangaka that mainly use their works to invest in licensing profits they don't just strive on manga sales.

HOw much money do people really expect an author to get back on merchandise like sticker packs/can badges/stationary that sell for like 3.99...and its not like they sell millions of stickers.

Id imagine Oda and co get more back based on higher price types of merch, as well as shows and other events, and probably the residuals from the anime, any advertising that uses one piece, more than selling stationary.
