Well, if KnY beat OP in both total and individual sales, hardcore OP fans and deniers gonna cope by blaming it on "lunatic fujoshi buying hundreds of copies" just like I already see they did that on /a/
Series wars have always been a thing, you have to remember that a big chunk of all shonen fanbases is not exactly going to be the most mature by definition. Sales are just another thing to add to the fuel.
And that's why I'm here. I'm not going to let it come to that, at least within this section of the website. It already started to rear it's ugly head last year when KnY beat out OP in the 2019 sales.
Yeah I saw it happen pretty much anywhere so I don't doubt it. Also didn't help that Shueisha added to the confusion but oh well.
They were attempting to save face, in my opinion. They have a vested interest in One Piece being #1, so of course they'd move the goal posts to make One Piece win.
Make an announcement that what the One Piece is will be revealed in the next volume. It would sell 50 million copies first week, 120 million first month.
Yeah for sure, i don't really know if they'll be able to cover it if Kimetsu beats OP in individual sales as well though. I mean, lifetime sales are cool and everything but everyone knows they aren't 2020 sales....right?
Does Oda even care though? I mean, I can see why jump would have an interest in doing so, but I doubt Oda really gives a damn. His series is as safe as it gets regardless of what happens and he'll be able to write whatever he wants and for however long he wants.
Is it really though? With all said I dont feel that any series can be honestly safe in this mag.
Yes, it's completely and utterly safe.
I mean...yes? I can't see one piece ever dropping enough to not warrant keeping it in the magazine until Oda decides it's time for it to end.
Hell, Watsuki literally got busted with child porn and he was still allowed to continue doing the RK sequel.
Yeah, it's just unthinkable. One piece will never be in danger.
Oda could kill somebody and Shueisha would still let him draw new chapters from prison.
Refresh my memory.
Wasnt it reference to Gintama jokes?
No, someone posted an actual article from a website that said prisons are trying out a new program or whatever that lets them work as assistants for manga.
It was the main plot in The Comiq, the recent-ish mini-series by yugioh creator. I remember there being a real article about it too though.
