/a/nons call every new manga axed and sometimes they're are right
do they "accurately predict" flops too?

if you call everything a flop you're eventually going to be right on some cases



i already addressed this in my post




imo, you people are giving amazon too much credit, but whatever...you're free to do what you want
Guess we will see (so it predicts Princess doing well, and 3 Jump newbies doing bad with Futari being the best). I agree with some points you have said though.

Bone Collection, for whoever who wants to read it.
That 'lots-of-weapons' thing reminded me of Higuma.
That one-shot ain't it. Its doomed to failed, it may survive in other magazine. Poor concept and characters

I mentioned this oneshot last month

someone on Jump Rookies took the concept of Gokushufudou and did their own take on it


it's pretty short but solid a solid love/gag imo, also pretty popular on twitter, so it might become a series in the future


it won Jump Rookie bronze prize for the month of July

the author said he will use the money to turn it into a series

Not all one shots are intended to be serializations, anyway.

they're not picking up anything this month

I really wanted the one on the far left to come. Looks really similar to the artstyle of Namori from Yuru Yuri

The far left one is a 7 chapters miniseries, so not surprising MangaPlus had 0 interest.

the NHK promo thing did more for Dr Stone sales than 8 anime episodes

you have to wonder who's watching the anime? does it even have more exposure now than it was without an anime?



sure, I guess?
generally amazon is not a good way of measuring audience reception (only big hits looks good on it and everything else look average or bad)
Link to NHK promo? How do you find out about these things? I love Japanese culture so please share a link.

That's why it is interesting to have this information.

We could compare in the future if the positions of the sales are similar (I mean if Futari no Taisei sells better than Beast Children and Tokyo Shinobi Squad).

This could imply that the Amazon ranking has some representation of future sales

There's only so much pre-analysis we can do before it just becomes a waste of everybody's time.

Yes, I meant ongoing. Thanks for the response. :P I wish we got more jump+ manga, there's so many that looks interesting but aren't translated.
Absolutely on that second sentence. Kind of bummed MangaPlus didn't pick up Dorei Yuugi with 45 chapters scanlated and on hold since 2 months ago, which is a shame. Though it is a bit graphic and leans to seinen territory too hard to be on the service I guess. Or Mutou and Satou.

Is there any reason why digital sales numbers aren't made public?

Dont know to post either here or in the Magazine forum but oh well here I am... So I just found out that WSM's Ahiru no Sora will be getting a fricking 4-cour anime adaptation... from Diomedea, one anime studio who isnt so famous to be doing those; while GONZO only managed to give HZ a two cour rushed adaptation...

Yeah... life is definitely not fair...

Though Sora does have close to double the volumes.

Man, I really really hate the comments on mangaplus. Those are some of the most idiotic and uninformed responses. And since I can't respond them, it just makes me feel bad. lol

Oh, this manga looks interesting, I'll give it a read since there's english and spanish translations. Even if I prefer reading in english. lol
