Well, MHA couldn't reach 550K in five weeks. Let's see how it goes for HQ and TPN.

TPN will most likely perform better.

TPN will most likely perform better.

I'd assume so, but how much better? Can it reach a higher peak than MHA?

How much did TPN and HQ did in five weeks last time anyway?

MHA 23 - 542,232

Would Higuma have any chance of being rescued from the cancellation? It sold more than the 1st volume and than several other manga.

 

[LuckyJim]

I doubt it, I'm pretty sure that's never happened before. It's getting an epilogue chapter though, which is more than most cancelled series get.

 

[SalesNerd69]

So where do you guys think KnY will top out at going forward? 300 k in first week ?

No chance now. But I think Shueisha should have been patient and maybe put this on Jump+? Seeing how Lycopene transitioned really well judging by the sales, Gokutei Higuma could have outrated at least a lot of the other Jump+ manga. Too bad, wasted chance.

Wasn't there a manga that got cancelled in WSJ after 3 volumes, but then got a continuation on Jump+ and ran for like another dozen? iShoujo, I believe it was.

Yep. Also Soul Catcher(S), though it was on Jump Live first I think.

It did not have a manga that had a protagonist with a purple demon hand
It is a classic manga, it already forgets the name, it had been canceled but it was rescued.

Are you talking about Hell Teacher Nube? That ran for 4-5 years before it ended, so getting a sequel series isn't that odd.

That was it.

I was wrong, then.

 

[Xzone]

Probably Jump see in Higuma guy potential to have a better seller series + they know the magazine now has too much competition for a series like Higuma.
Returning in 2 or 3 years would be a better idea.

 

[TheEroSennin]

A huge series being low on the TOC basically means nothing

How so ?

 

[Maxy Barnard]

How so ?

Bleach lived low for years before ending. By and large if you’re a big franchise series they don’t sweat placement too much, seems like

 

[tirakai]

Look at Soma, it's been mostly hanging around the bottom for over half the series at this point, but it still sells decent and gets anime and has a unique gimmick for the magazine so it's still around.

I mean bleach sales were falling for the last couple years so thats probably not the bext example.

In Haikyu case, no reason to worry, sales are still pretty strong and the anime is returning soon

Yeah but like falling from astonishingly high to just plain very high, so i think it’s still pretty good as examples go

So according to twitter, boruto is going with 2 chapters a month
