Are these good games or just cheap quick cash-in games?

 

[Nemesis]

Really weird that we got no new character announcement for Jump Force so far in January

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Really weird that we got no new character announcement for Jump Force so far in January

Happening next week for sure, with V-Jump coming out.

I wonder if they'll show at least characters from that third forgotten title that is in the cover with One Piece and Dragon Ball, yet has less characters than Bleach and HxH

I feel like they are gonna be saving some characters for DLCs.

If it's by the same developers than they should be pretty good, for fans at least. I only played the PS2 games and Soldier's Soul out of the all the 5 Dimps developed and really enjoyed them. They are far better than the cheap trash Black Clover and Hero Academia got last year.

Bandai Namaco said there is a scheduled announcements this month, we may got them after the open beta this coming weekend, unless some leaks from V-Jump/WSJ.

 

[Mammo]

next month Land Lock which is a longstrip scroll-down webcomic from Jump Plus is getting a volume release

I wonder how will jump go about doing this

will they:
1-put out a longer than usual volume
2-print the pages horizontally instead of vertically
3-cut down the pages, fix the panels to make them like normal pages and print it normally


how do Koreans do it?

[Halloween]

So every Neverland volume is in the top 60 now?

 

[Avok]

It was expected. It'll only go up from here.

 

[Tamil]

Highly doubt it's going to reach 1M sales. I do see the possibility of it barely beating MHA and that's a maybe, it's quite a huge leap.

Relife was similar and they reorder and arrange the panels so it reads like a regular manga. So I guess that.

Outselling MHA and Haikyuu at its peak is no longer a question if but when. I'm more curious to see how far will it go.

 

[Ninjaz]

I don't know how to ask this question without the thread turning into trash.
But do any of you think Black Clover will ever get much further than it already is at in sales? After soon one and a half year of on-going anime, I don't see its peak being much further away than what it is at already, give maybe a 100k increase if lucky before it starts stagnating.
I'm sure it's selling a lot of merch, and is well received on TV, but the anime is also likely to stop eventually.

Am I misinterpreting or undermining its success? Or is that just reality.

I think this is fair. Black Clover has great sales (not as great as they could be but definitely higher than most of the industry right now), but doesn’t really have anything going on that screams “I’m going to grow”. I think it’ll just stay at this sort of level till it ends, which with sales like this could still be a very long way away.

It’s... bittersweet? Like it’s not bad at all, but you always want a beloved series to keep growing, you know?

The new of Hokuto no Ken manga licensing in Spain made me think.

The fandom of early 90s stuff aka Yu Yu Hakusho and Slam Dunk is very alive, and Shueisha is milking both franchises a lot (Slam Dunk manga re-sales, Yu Yu Hakusho games and OVAs, etc) (meanwhile, Kenshin is somewhat dead).

JoJo fandom is also very alive. Saint Seiya fandom is not so alive but is doing good (Netflix adaptation, Saintia Sho, games, etc).

City Hunter and Captain Tsubasa fandoms are barely alive but are getting live thanks to stuff like Captain Tsubasa anime reboot or City Hunter movie.

Hokuto no Ken fandom, unlike JoJo, YYH and Slam Dunk is pretty much dead in my opinion. Despite Hokuto no Ken basically being the title that made Jump achieve the 1st place of shonen magazine. Yes, it got a game recently but...

In my opinion, a reboot anime of Hokuto no Ken is pretty much needed, and I hope it gets one soon (if it gets one, please, no 3D stuff, just normal anime like everything else).

PD: Kinnikuman is another story. I'd say is completely dead, but it gets constantly Edited Mangas of all its chapters. Unlike City Hunter.

If it continues like this it could go on with a few more years remaining in the average of Jump.

In the end, its 200k copies by volume if it does. It will not be a monster grinds sales like Neverland or to my Hero, but it stands out enough.

Are you speaking in particular areas? Because Kinnikuman is super alive in Japan, at the least, with a big merch push right now and incredibly solid volume sales for a web manga
