I just want my popularity poll color spread or any for that matter

The true 4 emperors. Interesting how Neverland is now bigger on the group covers instead of Asta, but that makes sense considering that the series was the 4th best-selling manga on the magazine in 2018 and that was without any anime to boost it.

 

[Franz]

I just wonder if in the end they are going to put Kohei on the same schedule that Oda has.

I don' think so.

Probably will go on break occasionally, but less frequently, like Kishimoto at the time.

BLack Clover has already changed the shonen genre forever, and is currently and previously established as the new king of shonen, so it's placement in the center of the cover, the most eye catching spot, might I add its also directly at the star of the Holiday Tree, strongly suggests and highly implies that the other series on the cover are simply garnishes on the side that make BLack Clover look even more tantalizing and appealing than it already is.

As everyone knows cover placement is more than sales, considering Hinomaru Zumou and Kimetsu no Yaiba, arent exactly lighting any sales charts on fire, and that by pixel surface area, Promised Neverland is rivaling that of Haikyuu, which doesnt make sense considering Haikyuu!! trumps that series in sales.

I'm only talking about the full characters tho, which curiously are the 4 big sellers of the magazine. Only mentioned Asta because before he appeared along the others but now Emma is the one.

 

[Franz]

I 'm starting to believe that the problem of Black Clover is its fandom, more than its hater.

Although it is not normal that he is hated so much, I can understand that some fans can make it hateful in the eyes of those who do not know him or follow it superficially.

But I say, look or read a manga seeing it for what is so bad?

No, or it is praised regardless or it is broken. If you allow me this attitude on both sides is really odious.

So it's a masterpiece? No, absolutely no.

So is it a fiasco? Neither.

It is a medium success manga, which despite everything has managed to impose itself, for better or for worse. He will not have hypnomized the fandom or the Jump, but from there to say it's a flop ..

Needless to compare it with Hero or Neverland, it does not even make sense.

 

[SharkBait]

Series exists in Shonen Jump, a microcosm of the overall manga industry at large, thus, since no shonen jump series exists in a vacuum, it is actually sensible that people would compare [insert manga of topical interest] to [insert another manga of topical interest].

Random question: ¿ which are currently the most popular jump series outside of Japan? ( Current Jump )

1. One piece
2. Mha
3...
4...
5...

 

[Caiops]

Emma now part of the BIG 4.

Tanjirou is bigger than Asta in the cover, this means Kimetsu is the new member of the BIG 5. After the anime, Kimetsu no Yaiba will be another series selling more than Black Clover.( its not that hard, tho)

Kimetsu no Yaiba the new king of the SHOUNEN/SEINEN genre.

Kimetsu no Yaiba the new king of the SHOUNEN/SEINEN genre.

Theres been no kimetsu no yaiba hype though. It seems unlikely that the anime will be making waves.

WHAT?

I see every day videos about the next season and Kimetsu is always in the thumb. People are so excited to see Kimetsu anime, one guy here said how Kimetsu was so popular with the internet fandom, the series is probably selling so much in digital, Haikyuu level.

The new king of the Shounen/Seinen genre.

Bet time:

Kimetsu no Yaiba will end up selling more than Neverland.

.

Yes yes, as if.

 

[SharkBait]

Kimetsu no Yaiba will end up selling more than Neverland.

Bet your account on that.

Id take the opposite as I cant see no way that Neverland would somehow fail to trump Kimetsu no Yaiba in 2019. Even if both anime fail to get any manga buyers, Neverland would already beat Kimetsu.

 

[Franz]

Series exists in Shonen Jump, a microcosm of the overall manga industry at large, t.

It does not have anything to do with it.

Not all series are natural achievements.

There are series like Neverland that are immediately, and others in the average.

Nice, WT just barely scrapes together 50K, but would have been nice to cross 300K, though at least it ought to do it before falling off the chart, so it did grow marginally.

Jujutsu depressingly blew past Dr. Stone. Stone anime is going to have to be the best thing since sliced bread or else the series may be the next psyren.

-OP actually tracking ahead since a while
-MHA practically flat but still pacing above last volume
- HQ seemingly stabilizing
- WT on track to become the best selling Volume by quite a margin
- Souma still falling hard
-WNL marginally doing better
- JJK broke 100k in 2 weeks , vol. 0 also did really well
- Stone sitting like a rock letting other past it (and actually dropping slightly, just slightly)
- Not looking good for Yuuna, at least it have merch?
- HZ fail to make it into top 100...

That's some impressive growth for Jujutsu. Volume 0 did better than expected. This series has a bright future. I wonder what approach they'll have when it gets an anime. I'm really hoping it won't have a long running anime.

It's really surprising to see how well WT is doing despite the hiatus. I thought the sales would go down, but all the online hype for its return seems to have helped it a lot.

Things are looking worse and worse for Souma. I don't think anything can really help it right now. Even if they gave it another anime season I doubt it would have any impact.
