Feels very Dragon Ball

It is the 3rd day now on Shoseki, Kimetsu is still beating One Piece daily, what?? Now the gap is even larger!

Kimetsu volumes 1-16 got urgent reprints delivered yesterday and volume 17 getting reprint on the 23rd I believe. This is going to get even crazier.

I'm somehow lost. One Piece is leading and set to win, isn't it?

 

[NeeNeen]

Speaking of Dragon Ball, Toriyama has seen every corner of Jump, hasn't he? Some of these publications I had never heard of.

Yeah, but Kimetsu is starting its second run now that the volumes are available again.

Doesn't have much options to keep his sweet sweet Jump salary flowing.

I would say so but its going to depend on how Kimetsu's backlog does in November.

 

[NeeNeen]

I don't think he really needs the money anymore, considering he is apparently the second richest mangaka in history.

Also I'm pretty sure every shonen magazine in Japan would be happy to have him.

 

[Ryuusei]

For now, yes, it's leading. There's still a whole month of sales to go, though. For that matter, it seems OP volume 94 might take a little longer to reach that 2 million figure (like volume 92 did) while KNY's reprints are hitting stores so its sales will probably pick up or stay stable after a while.

Jump has been paying him 6+ figures every year since the end of Dragon Ball for the sole purpose of making sure he doesn't go anywhere.

Ok, WHAT is going on with Boruto on M+?

I get that the series has a dedicated fanbase (just look at those comments), but 30 000 hits/day for a chapter that's close to a month old isn't normal. Did someone pull a prank and tell them the new chapter was out already? Or have a bunch of people collectively decided to spam the site in order to get the series up in the rankings?

Maybe many people are reading the last chapter again since chapter 39 will be out in like 2 days, and like i said before, this last chapter was a giant turning point in the series, so people are super hyped.

I think someone is running a bot to give it more clicks to help it surpass the other manga in the ranking.

Maybe, but that number is still huge.

I think someone is running a bot to give it more clicks to help it surpass the other manga in the ranking.

In that case, the bot is sleeping now. The progress suddenly fell back to almost zero (which is what you'd expect this late in the month).

Both of S8's volumes are below the top 200 on Shoseki daily, while KNY's volumes keep taking a nosedive since the reprints haven't hit yet. Actually, volume 7 and volume 8 (the ones that pick up the story right after the anime ends) are both really low, while most of the volumes are below the top 100 and only 5 volumes (not counting volume 17) remain within the top 100. OP is also above KNY today.

[Ryuusei]

When does the reprints hit?

Volume 17 is going out on the 23rd, while volumes 1-5 go out on the 30th and volumes 6-16 go out on the 31st.

Ok guys, imagine you can resurrect an old Jump classic into main roster. What would you pick? PD: Dragon Ball and JoJo are not eligible

For me, it would be Saint Seiya. Maybe Hokuto no Ken

 

[Aeneas]

Was browsing through the raws for Ten de Shōwaru Cupid (Togashi's first serialization), and I guess it's a combination of the genre and how young he was (23), but man, he really got out all his lewdness for his entire career in a little over 30 chapters lol.

It would be done by the author in their prime (during said work), I assume? I'll say Slam Dunk given the dearth of sports series.
