Act Age will 100% surpass Dr.Stone at this point

Yep next volume is pretty much guaranteed it will surpass Stone. Honestly Stone Sales don't grow at all

SoTaku always predicts increased Food Wars performance. Should have just made the manga go full BL mode, would have made both a better product and better performance.

I dont find select one random store to show that something is selling to be accurate, as the person taking the photo could have taken all the books off the shelf, held them, and then taken the photo. Seeing how everything else is fully stocked, definitely makes this seem very suspicious, also the space that Chainsawman is in, wouldnt fit the manga.

Retail musing photos are more convincing when it's stacks of the books on the table like other jpn retailers and we see that books series stack lower than others. Though those also have issues of authenticity on their own.

Count them

Not sure if mentioned but Jigokuraku (Hell's paradise) is at 580,000 copies in print

 

[therocomotion]

We know from POS that Chainsaw Man will probably sell around 30k.

 

[Kinguxsloth]

Hi guys im kind new here i been following the discussion here for a while and im so happy for chainsawman hope it doesn't get axed
Im kinda curious on something
If you guys could answer this
What manga that sold really well on the first volume without having an author who. It is very popular or that came from a popular franchise
sorry if its a odd question or off topic

 

[therocomotion]

Yakusoku no Neverland.

 

[Tamil]

I thought TPN first volume sold pretty low. Anyway, depends on what you define as selling well for a first volume. Assassination classroom comes to mind. Technically One Piece would count too lol. Both weren't popular before starting their series.

Not low, 50k in 10 days. That said, I just saw that MHA sold 70k in a week for volume 1.

Oh, I was thinking it did around 40k. MHA can count but I was thinking 100k+. Assclass vol 1 steamrolls it by a large margin. I think it did around 300-400k before dropping off the rankings.

 

[Jovan]

Yuragi sou no Yuuna San Volume 1 sold well and the previous work of the author Koisome Momiji got axed early I think

It was weird. They printed too few so it was sold-out everywhere for a while. It popped up in the listing weeks later with 70k.

 

[xAsum0x]

MHA would’ve sold more than 70k it’s first week they had to do emergency reprints because they printed too little

Matsui had Neuro.

Wow that was a mess. I am surprised Shueisha does not plan the prints better instead of letting things happen like this.

I mean they overprinted Sensei no Bulge iirc which was a flop, which is why they scaled back for MHA. It's often hard for Shueisha to know exactly how much demand there is for a first volume.

Oh Sensei no Bulge. I legit thought back then it would work. And it had a decent TOC start 8th and 9th chapter with Color Page support from Shueisha and boom just crashed.
