Didn't the mod already state that posting random twit like this is off-topic?
I saw it before... in Bakuman.
Well, if you want to be fair about it, OP fans have plenty of fans with a superiority complex about it, even though I think OP hasn't aged quite well and should have ended a good 5 years ago, as there were plenty of arcs that could've been cut-out completely or downsized. Instead of OP propping up the magazine, I think it's weighing it down simply because the fact it exists, the magazine hasn't had much successes in their young blood. The only notable ones are MHA and KnY, which I think their potential sales are being hindered by OP.
My point has nothing to do which how many female editors there are.
It is at least a little related.
Last week was 800k, this week might even bigger? Also, maybe another 3 volumes will cross the 800k mark. And maybe 17 will be reaching the 780k.
At this rate, I won't be surprised if half of the volumes reach 1 Million by the end of the calendar year.
It probably won't beat AOT considering no KnY volume has crossed 1m yet, but I think its safe to say that Kimetsu will easily beat Kingdom on the per volume charts
And Kingdom were already in 41th with these numbers, Yaiba did this inside the top 5 lol
Lmaoooo seeing Kimetsu keep dominating is just funny now. It really is the year of the boar.
Well, maybe, but even so: they would still apply for a job at Shueisha in general, not specifically at the WSJ editorial. So, they might get hired by Shueisha, but never transferred into the WSJ editorial because of internal company politics.

As for the issue of gender ratio in Jump, I do wonder how they'll react if Arakawa drops a series on their laps
Let me put it in plain, simple analogy for you: You have an established brand with their line of products. A new competitor with barely a cent to their name appears, both have similar products and similar quality. Who's going to succeed? The former, of course. All because the customers believe in the bigger name. I don't believe a majority of the 2+ Millions who buy OP actually cares about the quality, they're only buying it because of the name. I won't claim this as definitive evidence, but there is an obvious downward trend for the series. Not a crash landing like SnS, but it's noticeable, at least.
I mean, how many editors can you name? And can you confirm their gender? Editors are not famous figures as mangaka are, and even with mangaka it can be hard to tell their gender.
Different target demograph, the power of Fujo and ufotable is also strong. So drstone is always meant to sell lesser than your typical battle shonens
