What's the difference between MHA 25 & KnY 18??
This really sucks, it was such a great series. I hope the author makes a quick comeback, they have a great understanding of character writing and their art isn’t half-bad either.Jump+/MangaPlus's Curtain's Up, I'm Off has ended after 26 chapters and poor sales. Volume 3 will release on Feb 4.
what's the last series to start off with actual arcs? (like an arc by chapter 10-12) Even Chainsaw man at the start was just one-offs or 2-3 chapter arcs too I think. It seems like a weird trend authors are scared to really do arcs until they're established although that just makes it harder to establish. If that was the case I would think getting the CP a few chapters ago should have been a sign it's established but as Mamo said, these recent two chapters introduced 2 new characters that are basically the same and already have the role filled.
It doesn’t necessarily need an arc. Just build and develop on what’s already there instead of constantly adding stuff
I know they just mentioned "attempt any proper arcs" and I realized barely anything does that anymore (in Jump at least, don't read enough non-episodic stuff from other magazines to compare them) until it's more established.
Really wanna see how much Volume 25 sells now. The synergy is coming, what with a HeroAca cover page and bonus chapter, from the Volume Rising to promote the movie, to the anime entering the climax of its arc while the manga’s beginning a new one. Also Hawks was apparently trending on Twitter when his VA was announced. The franchise was gearing up for the movie release and now they’re beginning to fire on all cylinders, it seems. It has me excited.
To be honest, I don't have high expectations for volume 25's sales, if anything it might sell just as much as the previous volume. Yes, MHA has been pumping out content for a while now and this December is probably the busiest month the series has ever had, but a growth right now seems unlikely. If it happens, though, it would be really nice to see. Or maybe, the growth will be shown when volume 26 gets released. We have to wait and see.
That makes sense. The backlogs aren’t doing much, though they are there, and this has been its fourth season. Perhaps it might’ve hit its limit already, but again, we’ll see.
It has hit its limit. Prior to S4, volume sales were starting to decline. It'll be interesting to see if S4 contributed anything significantly aside from a few thousand copies in boost. It'll most likely just stagnate.
Not saying it hasn't, but sales were also declining prior to S3 and S2, and yet they ended up boosting it above the previous peak.
This is so accurate.
What you pointed out isnt the reason why Yozakura is in the bottom, Mitama Secureity is also in the bottom, the main reason why this is happening is the current moment in the rankings, there's no new series despite Yozakura, Mitama and Samurai 8, the popular mangas are so well established in the magazine that you will rarely see editors putting any of them in the bottom or at least under these 3 mangas, even Yuuna is doing solid in the rankings, unless these two mangas were instantly hits from the beginning, this was the inevitable fate after Kamio Yui, Taisei, BC and TSS were canceled.
I agree with this. But I don't buy "popular manga are so well established in the magazine that you will rarely see editors putting any of them at the bottom". Thing is that Shueisha wants newbies that make them do the opposite, put some veterans below them. That is how you get a newbie with potential. Which is what happened for the majority of the series that worked in Jump so far at some point (or survived for at least 1+ year).
Which mangas would Jump put at the bottom under Yozakura and Mitama? at most Yuuna, they don't have any cushion at the moment, there's no reason why the editors would put their best selling mangas in the bottom 3 just to make two newbies look good, this is why i said if both were instant hits or at least have a more visible popularity, but everybody could se what was about to happen when they canceled the 4 series.
