I dont think so since why didn't they do this since HQ/KnB/JJBA/etc. have their big hits? We've surely gotten poor adaptations since then.
A-1 didn't even work on any Shonen Jump IP tho. lol And their output is much lesser since last year, when Cloverworks got its rebranding name, became its own company and a direct subsidiary of Aniplex, as Cloverworks was A-1 Koenji, and the current and main A-1 is A-1 Asagaya. Which now don't need this name as there's only one A-1 building, unlike before.

That's not how it works. Nakano don't exactly make those decisions alone as he's editor chief of the magazine. It's something much higher considering that those adaptations in many cases will have Shueisha's fund invested into the committee along its resources as well. Black Clover like you said came from a offer from TV Tokyo, which to this day continues to see positive sales on BC considering that it's on their top 5 revenue and sales since it began. Which according to nakano, it's a case by case, which should be as each adaptation has different companies working on it and so on.
Considering how few adaptations of Jump+ we got since it began (less than 5 with more than 60 established manga), I highly doubt we'll see much more, maybe with Spy x Family being the exception.
Even though as we see in recent cases, "Great adaptation=Huge boost?" It's not rocket science anymore. Instead of worrying about how much money will go into producing it, the committees should just focus on making the product as good as possible. We live in an age where burning through money is considered "normal". You look at the major start-ups around the world finding huge success despite burning a lot of money. That's because they're committed to make the product as good as possible.
Adding this since the announcement had a bit of a boost on the backlog.
It's pretty obvious who the villain is going to be, they've already been alluded to.
So volume 1,2 and 17 are officially 1M sellers?
Yes, Oricon's numbers tomorrow will confirm it. Possibily volumes 7 and 8 as well.

Bold predictions part 2: 1st week 1.2 mil sold out
Volume 17 took like 2 months to reach 1 million, doing 1.500.000 in 1 month is pretty much impossible right now.
That's not how "objective" works, you're just giving a personal opinion, but i do agree the art is good.
Now that I think about it you’re right. Perhaps 1M in a month is possible
This is just insane, look at that pile of books that's already sold out. KNY 18 is also the #1 trend on twitter right now.
Shit, I meant anatomy and foreshortening (NOT foreshadowing) and paneling.
Are we just witnessing a new 1M seller in a week?
