*cough* I'm from Japan *cough*

I'm from Japan was interesting in a cultural pov so I wouldn't be surprised if its anime was made because the government wanted to.
Besides, I'm from Japan has one of the smallest budget of a Jump anime ever. Not really comparable to a action series

 

[Thores]

As an aside, if Jump is indeed propping Mitama up to be their new end-magazine gag series (which seems to be the case), I can't help put feel they're being a bit presumptuous about the series, given how thin and one-note the premise is. I could be wrong, though, it's entirely possible they'll just let it run its course out of convenience.

The thing about gag manga is that they, to an extent, are supposed to be pretty one note. Dr. Slump was chapter after chapter of robots and poop jokes, Sgt. Frog was aliens constantly failing to take over the planet, and Mitama Security is continuing to find silly ways for a dude to interact with ghosts. Those first two examples ran in their respective magazines for several years. Hell, Sgt. Frog is still running. I'm not saying that Mitama will run quite that long, but either way it doesn't have to be more than what it is right now.

Just because that one note doesn't resonate with you personally does not mean that their target audience isn't enjoying it, or that it's something that has to "run its course". It's possible that enough people are into MS to keep it in the magazine for a whlie, and it's equally possible that it's not as objectively bad as you think.

Beating OP in series sales and even individual volume sales has been done before, Death Note and Nana both beat it in the mid-00s, but Oricon only started posting numbers for 2008 and later.
Back then was before Strong World + Marineford + Time Skip + Z hype, so OP wasn't at stratospheric levels yet. And if Kimetsu beats it this year, it still won't be a big deal because that boost has leveled out.

Exactly the point. Since Marineford OP is an absolute king of manga. Others came close but never could do volume vs volume win. Neither is going Kimetsu. It may with year sales but not with volume. It would be AMAZING for kimetsu win years but real dethroned will only happen with volume win. And for it to be absolute it needs happen... well, at least three times in row.

And why do people think that it's situation will always remain the same and won't change??

Because that's how Jump came to be the best-selling manga magazine in Japan. It never had any problem cancelling failures and won't stop doing that because this failure was made by someone important.
And I'm kinda glad it's this way. I wouldn't want Jump to give more privileges to a manga just because of its author.

I guess it really does stand to reason, no one in business makes it to the top by being nice...

 

[Paze]

I was thinking Jump could have another magazine, where they can move failures that still sell ok, but I realize the downside is if you axe the series there is a chance the author would come back with an actual hit.

Isn't that Jump+? A lot of failures with potential moved to there

 

[animeexpert]

An anime is just the content of the manga animated, which reach people that wouldn't heard about it otherwise. However, it relies on the content of the series, if the content is bad, there is no use.
Do you think the series sold all that because of the program and not because of the quality of it? You are stepping in dangerous land there.
If they talked about, I don't know, Sensei no Bulge, the readers just would say they are crazy and that's it.
It was just an incentive to make people look at it, but to make people buy 30+ volumes only one thing is effective: quality, advertisement only can do so much.

January Campaign? Now it is a serious question.

To put it simple. Not everyone read manga or lightnovels, and we will always have those people. Anime can do wonders, it can popularize bad written same as good written manga.

Now even Spy x Family is above KnY in Shosheki. Either Kimetsu is extremely front-loaded, or they under-printed it massively.

 

[Heiji]

Spy x Family : 1-2 (+ digital) : 800 000

Kimetsu no Yaiba Novel : 1-2 : 400 000.

Where would you give credit to Spy x Family? The characters and their relationship? The story? The sum of everything?
What makes it that good?

I know it is great, but I didn't expect such thing at all, I cannot explain its success. XD

Also, since the series is all about people keeping secrets from everybody what do you guys keep secret from everybody?

 

[Serinox]

I wonder if this is an actual Twitter of hers. I’ve seen a lot of Yaiba fanart from her and I honestly wouldn’t mind a spin-off from her if she wasn’t working on MAO.

Aside from the fact that the Twitter account labels itself as a "fan account": Rumiko apparently said she can't use smartphones and computers, so I doubt she would operate a Twitter page.

(especially on 3 volumes/year)

Would make it even more sad/memorable if it happened this year, where OP actually had four volumes out again in the sales period.

The color choices for CSM volumes are pretty great

Excuse me, I'm taking a break next week. Then I'm counting on you to follow me a little bit.

The characters. From the get-go, the author established his characters well, from their roles to their interactions. The story isn't really a selling point. But it will nonetheless affect the characters and we'll see how everyone reacts to it. Even the bratty tsundere bully in Anya's school might have potential in getting caught up with the whirlwind of the plot.
