Anyone have the preview pic ?

Well if the HeroAca School Briefs Novel 1 is anything to go buy then I think we are not really missing much in not having many LN of series published, one is honestly greatly or even in some cases better served with all the fanfics out there. Some of the plots in this novel...what.

 

[Nemesis]

What are some good shonen romances btw? I've mostly only read shoujo romances and even those usually had mystical elements or were mainly slice-of-life. Harem and romance sideplots in action manga don't count. I seriously want to read some shounen romance.

If romcom with harem don't count, then Kimi no Iru Machi, Suzuka, GE: Good Ending, Ao no Flag, Bloom into you, Tsurezure Children, Tonikaku Cawai, Kishoku Gakkou no Juliet, etc

Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, even though a quite popular one, is what I would recommend, it's one of the best bets if you haven't read or seen it yet.

In seven days (that is when the Oricon data come out) anything can happen, but I would say that the two new series are decidedly passed off.

That's for sure. Only Chainsaw Man will survive from the ones that already have volumes out.

Official prints sales of everything till now:

One Piece (92 Vol) - 445 million (worldwide+JP)
HxH (36 Vol) - 72 million (JP)
Haikyu!! (37 Vol) - 34 million (series) (JP)
MHA (22 Vol) - 21 million (series) (JP)
Food Wars (34 vol) - 16 million (series) (JP)
TPN (13 vol) - 10 million (JP+ worldwide+digital)
Black Clover (20 vol) - 8 million (series) (JP)
Kimetsu no Yaiba (15 vol) - 4.5 million (JP)
Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs (15 vol) - 3 million (JP)
Boruto (7 vol) - 2+ million (JP)
We Never Learn (11 vol) - 2 million (JP+digital)
JuJutsu Kaisen (5 vol) - 1.1 million (series)
Act-Age (5 vol) - 800k (JP+digital)

Now check the last ToC for getting a reference. Only Dr.Stone and Hinomaru have no official print sales. In Hinomaru case I'm not surprised at all, but Dr.Stone is the most pushed current manga by Shueisha. Is so bizarre it is literally the only title with no official print sales numbers.

[Hamura]

Is HxH sale for the whole series or just vol.36

 

[Franz]

Is HxH sale for the whole series or just vol.36

Whole series obviously.

 

[CrimsonEpitaph]

Interesting to see that KnY's new volume sold more on day 1 than BC's.
Wonder how big the anime boost is going to be.

 

[Franz]

Interesting for nothing given that with the imminent anime surely the general interest for the work has increased.

Notwithstanding that they are not very reliable data per se considering that they refer only to the day of departure and the positions could also change. Furthermore the distance is minimal and we don't know how many sales.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Yeah, it doesn't really mean much, vol 36 of Haikyuu started above vol 22 of BNHA in the first day but sold almost 20k less in the full week. It's hype for the anime.

[SharkBait]

Well will be curious to see if Kimetsu reaches BLack Clover sales. 3.5mln to go.

It's not like surpassing BC sale is something you could call impressive.
