and Platinum End.

Does this manga still exist?

 

[savethecat]

I wouldn't say it very different, it's pretty much just an exorcist series after all. Felt like if Amalgam was an exorcist manga to me.

Exorcism? Wouldn’t it be more inline with just standard demon hunting. Doesn’t feel like it selves into the afterlife or “exorcising” demons

 

[Belkac3m]

I feel that "chainsaw" is what I have been waiting for a while in wsj.
At least with this 1st chapter.

Already the smartest poster in the thread.


If you end up enjoying Kimetsu, you should look into buying the Viz volumes. It's one of the few currently running Jump manga that you can easily be up to date with the volumes since there's only 3 so far (with the next one coming January).

Also, you don't have to @ the users, you can just quote them.

Will do if I enjoy it. Unfortunately that's how VIZ rolls. Slow releases with little intention to catch up, but at least it makes it easy to collect up to date. Case in point I would love to have more full color dbz on my shelf. It's how they insure steady revenue rather than risk slow years I guess.

 

[De La Croissant]

The author of Chainsaw Man has some cool visual ideas, but he doesn't know how to build them properly, so he just throws them page by page. As a result, the motivations and the characters end up too thin for me to care about what is happening.

If I'm your enemy because of MHA I'll give you credit. If because of Black Clover...well you probably liked Toriko too

Enough BC bashing for me though

Man you are just making everyone hate you after 5 posts.

Well they do have their reasons. Not only does it insure steady revenue (like you said), but it also prevents larger breaks between volumes. If they released a volume every month like they did with Haikyuu then they would catch up way too quickly and we would have to start waiting 3-4 months for the next volume a lot sooner. It only worked for Haikyuu because there were a lot more volumes at the time.

 

[OtterBrigade]

a volume every 2 months is considered slow? Aside from Haikyu I can't think of any manga from any publisher to release quicker. If you mean how long they took to pick it up Kimetsu looked like it wasn't going to survive early on and wasn't by a popular author here so it makes sense they waited. Platinum End and Dr. Stone were both picked up really quickly and they were from proven authors.

Volume 1-20 reprint and I still don’t understand the 18 million thing when oricon has another number.

Either someone at Oricon is trolling or someone at Shuiesha is trolling. Pick your poison

It's digital obviously.

 

[SharkBait]

Does shuiesha even ever acknowledge Oricon.

Might be the work of a stand...

STAND NAME : 『 D I G I T A L S A L E S 』
STAND MASTER : SHARKBAIT

 

[MangAniMY]

my orders is still on it's way...

 

[Nakura]

Mine too. Kinda feel a pit in my stomach due to how expensive it is. I hope it's worth it. It looks nice from some of the pictures I've seen at least.

 

[MangAniMY]

Shinohara Kenta like Act-age

Fuckin jealous. I blew my budget with other shit like tattoos and games.

Few weeks ago came across a interesting book about Japanese SNES games by UK based company, got it today and damn, didn't know the system has Jump games in it. Makes me want to play them.

Spoiler: SuperFamicom

While not Jump games, but Jump authors designed the characters

Spoiler: Toriyama/Hara

Oricon is nothing but estimates, they don't have actual data from publishers.

Wow that is cool looking! I really wanted it but couldn’t justify the price at the time. I got the FMA hardback artbook for $28 for goodness sakes and it’s like 2/3 this size. If it gets an English release from Viz I may change my mind.

No second guessing your spending now. Just enjoy the Bleach goodness. Heck it may even resell higher due to limited edition
