Brave soul related probably

Just realized this cover is basically a 1:1 copy of Kimetsu's first volume. While creatively bankrupt I guess it's still a smart decision to go off of what is already proven and true.

how? Neither character are in the same position. Taiyo isn't protecting her (forget her name) while Tanjiro is protecting Nezuko. Male/Female characters are swapped, Nezuko grasping onto Tanjiro while Yozakura girl almost looks like she's trying to bat Taiyo's hand away. Aside from guy and girl both looking at viewer and guy holding weapon they look almost nothing alike.

These covers aren’t similar enough to say that Mission stole from Kimetsu. That composition and posing isn’t SO unique that it isn’t reasonable to assume multiple ppl just came up with a similar layout

Male character baring main weapon while embracing female character, both with menacing stares.

I know it's official art, but do you know where it's from? Promo art?

Also, the more I stare at those fingers, the more they creep me out.

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Calling it a 1:1 copy is still an exaggeration
Also, how about that, where now at Page 900! Can we actually reach 1000 in the next months?

Isn't it just the magazine cover

Slightly different.

So would you say act-age volume 1 is 1:1 Kaguya Love is War volume 1? Both feature a sole shot of the main heroine, bust up, staring at the viewer with a similar expression stylized, and a fairly minimal background (Kaguya has varying tones of red while AA is just white)

 

[Kharthas]

On the topic of cover arts, I love it when the inside cover complements/contrast with the outside one. For example, this is the inside cover of Kimetsu vol.1

 

[Arjuna]

Obviously its my opinion, pal. You're right they are two different manga but what I mean is what both fanbases reads/watches the series for (i.e romance/cutesy/comedy material). Its the same reason as people wanting a completely different shonen to be animated by the same staff that worked on another shonen.


Not what I meant but that reach lmao. It wouldnt surprise me if Pierrot gets it sadly .

I know. I find it more so with those fanbases which makes sense given how popular it is. Yes, you see with every popular shonen but with SxF/Kaguya its a different breed of obnoxious.

You proved my point lol...a talented staff can only do so much, you need a good source material. Clearly Kimetsu's source material helped a lot so not all the credit should go to Ufo.

I am not denying it,but look at TPN for example,it's first arc that the first season covered is uniformly consIdered much better than the first cour of Kimetsu,the adaptation wasn't definitely as great as Ufotable and cut some of the important monologues.


The manga did receive a huge boost after the anime aired but correct me if I am wrong but it didn't reach a level where we were discussing if TPN could displace OP from the first position like we are discussing with Kimetsu now.


Especially considering the fact TPN was selling much more than Kimetsu before both of their anime aired.


So in my opinion Ufotable did have a major role in the boost.

This is funny as heck.

Spoiler: Kimetsu

It's BECAUSE TPN was already big before the anime that the boost wasn't considerable. KNY's peak before the anime was half of what TPN's was. Meaning a boost to the current level meant more backlog sales which is basically the reason we are debating about whether or not it can beat OP.
If KNY's pre-anime peak was like TPN and was in the 250-300s, then it's total sales for this year right now with post anime boost would not be at the number its at.
It's quite simple.
KNY is in the running right now solely because of the fact that it's anime peak is 5 to almost 6 times from its pre-anime peak whereas for TPN the boost was only about 2.5 to 3.

It's simple math.

Literally crocodile tears

Spoiler: Kimetsu vol. 17 extra

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I am hoping and betting that Yozakura Family is now going to focus in each family member.

I want my mini-arc featured by gamer girl.

That's a dumb comparison there's a lot of manga volumes that share similar covers for example my hero volume 20 and naruto volume 37
