It's just my impression or Kimetsu's boost is slowly increasing instead of decreasing?

Great Result for Neverland with 218,380 in 3 days compared to the 190,803 in 3 days of the previous volume.

Kimetsu should see a pretty steep drop next week. Stock issues + current boost (this usually leads to people buying new volumes closer to the launch day) would be to blame. But we'll see

 

[Koni]

So:
-Newest Kimetsu volume sold almost 370k in 3(?) days, and its on its way to breaking the 600k barrier and beating MHA and TPN’s peaks handily.
-Spy x Family is doing 110k in that same timeframe, and is on its way outselling essentially all of mid-tier (sales-wise) Jump by Volume 2.

Wow. Just... wow.

Damn, Kimetsu boost is impressive.

RIP Samurai 8

Holy shit, 368k for a 3 day first week with all the other volumes selling 40k+, this is insane. Just how much is the new volume gonna sell in a single month? SXF doing great numbers, being bigger than plenty of established WSJ series. Also JJK is closer than ever to BC, the chances of it passing BC are increasing. Pretty sad numbers for S8, makes me wonder if it can grow from now on.

Yes, two weeks ago, KnY sold 482,122 which was the best week it had since the boost started. Then last week smashed past that record to sell 692,238 volumes.
This week, this record has once again been beaten with the first 16 volumes accounting for 746,028 volumes sold.

Of course the real test starts now since this week will be the first one without an anime/ a new volume for Kimetsu. But stock issues might alter our perception of the boost

Holy shit, it's even worse than I thought. Even with Shoseki, I thought Samurai would cross 20k mark easily.
KImetsu boost is impressive as always. JJK is so close to overtaking BC.

 

[Kolbe]

As the new poll is up, I will post here the results of the former poll so we can compare to the Oricon results

Shout out for the 5.6% of users who guessed it right

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Nice first placement for Yozakura, tho like everybody already said its still too soon to say its safe, and also cheers for Chainsawman LCP, things have been interesting this last chapters
So about Haikyuu

Spoiler

Did it just skipped only 2nd year or 3rd year as well? Even tho I dont follow it, I wont believe its ending until Furudate or Shueshia make it official

 

[animeexpert]

Maybe

For Haikyuu, It can be

Spoiler

that we skip second year,and Hinata is training in brazil for his third year, but I doubt it, why is he training in brazil for that.

Maybe their next goal is being world champion instead of only Japan

 

[Avok]

Insane numbers for Yaiba.

 

[Obitooooo]

Kimetsu can beat One Piece this year

 

[LuckyJim]

I expected Samurai 8 sales to be at least near RobotxLaserbeam, aren't those numbers like what Hungry Marie and Cross Account got?

Anyway, it'll be nice if Yozakura continues to do good, though it's still up in the air at this point. I think at this point what I'd like to see most is some chapters that focus on the characters and relationship of the leads.

 

[Koni]

Oh! Forgot about the recent ToC!

-Yozakura starts at Top 5! Though we’ll have to see if it can hold that position, and if not, what position it can hold in the long term.
-HeroAca has a seriously sick cover and color page, especially the latter. I love Horikoshi’s traditional coloring so much.
-Chainsaw Man cover? This’ll be interesting.

Oof...12k for Vol. 1 & 11k for Vol. 2? Damn that hurts my soul....Granted it's only a 3 day total.

With these Numbers, do you guys think Shueisha is even gonna give S8 a chance to build or cancel it outright?

It will definitively have a hard time surviving 2020, that's for sure

It's definitely gonna get a chance to build, partly because there's already 4 dead series to provide a cushion, and partly because being attached to Kishimoto (not to mention the intense marketing) means it's probably going to get a better chance than most.

Honestly, despite these numbers I still wouldn't be surprised if it lasted 7 volumes, going the route of Spring Weapon.

Samurai 8 still sells a lot better than the other 4 mangas at the bottom (although, somehow, it is under Kamio Yui in the TOC). So, it will have an oportunity.

If Samurai 8 survives or not, this will depend on connecting with the audience.
