[Rain Spectre]

It's more the use of "Sumo Pro Arc" which makes me suspect the end, because that confirms everything since the manga underwent a time skip has been a singular arc about the character professional career. If that arc is ending....yeah.

 

[Tamil]

Has Hinomaru reached a million copies sold?

Apparently 448,000 copies. (its at the #100 spot)

You realize that video is over a year old?

 

[Tamil]

You realize that video is over a year old?

Yeah & I dont think HZ figures have been updated since then.

 

[Ctkk]

It can't possibly have more than doubled its sales in a year and a half with the sales it does per volume, so at least the question is answered.

 

[Aeneas]

Yeah, went and checked MangAniMY's chart, and it looks around 650k (probably at least 700k with backlog?).

Also from that video, I knew Slam Dunk was high, but it's not that high is it? I'm seeing like 125 million.

Slam Dunk is over 170 million, I wouldnt be surprised if its at 180 million or close to it considering how much the new editions sold last year

I'm seeing 121 million (in 2014), and then 5+ million from the new releases. Got any links (besides that video) for 170+?

170 million is the Worldwide number of the franchise.

 

[Aeneas]

170 million is the Worldwide number of the franchise.

That makes sense. Though they chose to use JPN numbers only for all the other series, so that's pretty misleading on their part.

 

[Tamil]

Souma had the "climax" used in the semi-final battle I believe, same as Hinomaru now which is in semi-finals

Soma's climax was stated in like March or April iirc. We can potentially have months till HZ ends. HZ seems to be wrapping up naturally.

[Aeneas]

Yup, worldwide. Thx for the confirmation.

 

[Rain Spectre]

Well yeah, though the possibility of GIGA chapters is there.

 

[Tamil]

Well yeah, though the possibility of GIGA chapters is there.

Not sure if GIGA is necessary. I'm still behind on HZ, maybe someone who is caught up can say if it is necessary and how many chapters they predict are left.

I took a peak at some of the recent chapters and it's moving along very nice so I don't think it'll be rushed to shit.

 

[LuckyJim]

I've only read the first 30 or so chapters and the last 6, but from what I've seen it looks like Hinomaru is approaching the end. There's potentially 3-4 matches left in the tournament, and I'm guessing the first couple are going to be skimmed over to get to the final match.

 

[Tamil]

No doubt it's approaching its end but I feel like it will end in a couple of months. Lets wait for the translation and what Kawada says in the author comments, he may talk about it.

 

[Rain Spectre]

It's gonna be really weird knowing that, after Hinomaru ends, MHA will be the third oldest manga in Jump.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

I liked Souma's color page, i'ts a nod to the first chapter and cp like Kubo did with Bleach, it's nostalgic, also isn't even the last chapter, probably in the actual last one it will be a ilustration with everybody.
