This will never make sense to me. Why wouldn't readers from the magazine support the series when the volume gets released? It feels counter-intuitive especially given how they go hand in hand with the series longevity.
Whg do you think majority of a specifc manga's fanbase are obligated to buy both? Especially in a manga Japan world with countless different volumes of various demographics and concepts releasing each month.
Same reason why casual music fans only buy singles and not the entire albums. They make the easier and less expensive commitment and aren't sure if the larger commitment is something they want.
A better analogy would be something like Netflix which is a collection of material. You pay for netflix, rate the series and movies you watch but probably wont buy 90% of them
Because their favorites lasting depends on their individual sales. The only series I can say people will buy Jump for is OP, Stone doesn't have nearly as much of a draw to say its fanbase is solely keeping the series a float by reading it in the magazine versus buying it and we already know Stone's push has been mainly to increase volume sales.
Yeah, the setup feels like a final arc situation. At the first while reading the chapter, I thought it was reverting back to a romcom harem lmao.

Yu Yu Hakusho, Saint Seiya and Rurouni Kenshin all had some early struggles (surprisingly). Also Act-Age and Medaka Box.
Black clover and kimetsu no yaiba also had rapid developments in the beginning and after they settled down they slowed down.
