So.. has there ever been any other manga that exploded in sells/popularity as much as KnY?
There are manga that have sold better overall like Slam Dunk, Hokuto No Ken, Dragon Ball, etc..
But I think all of them were selling a bit more and more with each volume release consistently (not that Kimetsu wasn't selling more and more each volume, but there was a clear "explosion" of popularity in volume 13 IIRC, which I can only assume coincides with the anime broadcast or something).
What I'm trying to say is, let's suppose both KnY and Dragon Ball got to sell 2 million each per volume.
But KnY's growth was like I dunno a 40% increase with each volume starting from volume 13, while other series had maybe a 10% increase per volume.. until they reached their peak and then eventually started selling less..
Yes and I'll keep quoting it whenever someone brings up if there has been any other series that exploded in popularity as much as KnY...
