Each time someone here talks about Yuuna "ending", the actual number of chapters left gets doubled

I wish that were the case.

Yui has reached rock bottom... Really bummed out about it since it seemed like it was just starting to find its footing. Watching a double harem could've been pretty fun ride. Has there ever been a series that was able to bounce back from a start this rough?

Nyoup. Not in this current climate, anyway.

Dang, that's what I'm afraid of. That'd be crazy if it pulls off a sales miracle, but I know that won't happen. Please let a comedy live!

Something like Gintama is very much a valid market still (look at Spy x Family), but it's a tough nut to crack. You have to be either really, really smart, or distinctive to get attention. And, as Hungry Marie proved, reputation does jack shit to help.

Imagine the comments for One Piece's end.

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Yeah, none of the current authors will be there to comment

Man, Yu-gi-oh has some of the most awesome openings of all 50 years of Shonen Jump history. Makes me hate 4kids more.

Thoughts on this week's chapters thus far, with minimal spoilers:

• Sam8 is interesting but there's too much exposition a la Saiyuki and no conflict/stakes.
• Neverland was nice but we all know the cliffhanger at the end will be unimportant and they spent the rest of the chapter following footsteps. Too slow.
• BnHA had a really cool chapter. I recommend listening to "Shougaibutsu Kyousou " and "Weeee Are Fu×kin Super Star!!" from here while reading. Slightly disappointed in Twice's continued asspull and Redestro's lame quirk but those are just nitpicks. Very fun chapter. Looks like we're going to have a Shiggy vs Redestro "dream battle". (Then Giganto gonna come in with the "kon.")
• Not even done the chapter yet nor am I done with BC, but Stone was amazing this week. Who could've thought we'd still get just significant character development in the next arc where a boatload of new characters are being introduced already. Chrome had an amazing Zenitsu-growth moment.
• NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BC on break next week!! Chapter was amazing. praise Godbata. Only downside is almost nothing changed from the last chapter plot-wise but I think Tabata's health is really fucked rn and that might have to do with it. Ganbatte!!!!

So true. Digimon is another example. Butterfly is an absolute classic. I didn't even watch Digimon besides a couple episodes as a kid and I still get teary-eyed watching it, and hearing the all cast version.

I hate how American dubbers thought they needed to dumb down everything. "DIGITAL MONSTERS DIGITAL MONSTERS" and that terrible yugioh opening in English. Just repeating the same five words over and over. Did they think that kind of military-chanting level of lyrics was all that the children of their countries could handle? Jeez.

Or they just didn't push series as hard back then.

You have to not settle for the most obvious conclusions, and put "correlation != causation" into practice more.

Now I'm curious about the actual stats.

How many series from the 2009-2013 period reached 100K sales per volume or more?

From 2014-2018 we have MHA, Black Clover, Neverland, Kimetsu, JJK, Act-Age, WNL and probably even Dr. Stone when the anime starts.

I split the periods like that because something starting in 2009 would have most of its run in the early 2010s, so I think it makes more sense to consider it a part of a that period.

Gintama last chapter delayed for 3 days. Will be out june 20.

I mean...that's almost all of the hits of the current era, sans only Yuuna (which did hit 100k fairly early into its run) and Chainsaw Man (still growing, at this rate could easily hit 100k by Volume 3 or 4).

As for the 2009-2013 period, we have at least five, Nisekoi, Haikyu, AssClass, Soma and World Trigger. Dunno about Saiki K, it might've hit 100k? Probably.

This is getting downright farcical.

LOL The things are like this since the start of Silver Soul arc. Why people start to notice it only now?

I can't see anything wrong with the break, considering that the first one was two years ago.

Old series sold more without a doubt. Due to a variety of reasons: Newer and more variety of entertainment. Migration to digital. Ever decreasing population of youth.

Bruh I never said there was anything with having a break. Godbata deserves some rest.
