Though to clarify, it's what Katayama thinks Kimetsu was inspired by. But people have had Hamon and Dio in mind for a while now.
There are plenty of Jojos reference, specially with Douma haha.
Oh yea don't get me wrong there are references, it's just that kimetsu doesn't feel very jojo-esque to me I guess
Because David's design is ass

Hate the Demon Slayer covers. Most of them area just always really bland
Oh. Okay I actually agree with you. I doubt Maitama or Yozakura have a lot if not any readers from outside WSJ. My point was technically for when a manga gets exposure via some other means that isnt the main magazine itself like an anime or drama etc etc.
Nakano said that it's more because of the rise of digital. A lot of it can be chalked up to word of mouth from people who do follow the mags.
but for there to be word of mouth that convinces someone to go buy a manga day 1 that would mean generally positive reception anyway right? Yozakura and Mitama started back in August so even if the first month was positive and it started slipping would anyone remember a series they heard good things about back in September, never mind still buy after realizing they'd heard nothing about it for 4 months?
I have no idea. I'm just going off what Nakano himself has said. And who am I to disagree with the guy in charge?
Doubt this applies to series that are new like Mitama and Yozakura. Probably a generalized statement since at any given time in WSJ, a lot of the well established series have / had anime or some kind of exposure and therefore people from outside WSJ would've picked it up by buying the volumes.
Now that I think about it, there's a huge tumor missing on Tanjiro's face
I agree. I think what got people attention is how strong the continuity has been thus far. Every chapter feels like it genuinely adds something, and for a gag manga the series has already set up a lot that be delved into.
Man, I wish Gotouge stepped up their cover game because KNY's covers are historically bland.
Probably just one of them.
I mean if we can learn from Yozakura (at least looking at the first day on Shoseki), is that twitter response isn't always reliable.
Damn I really wish they showed up in Oricon so we could see the numbers, I'm dying to see them.
It's written as "ファフナ", so basically you read like a British person would, kinda.
This happens to AA when it releases a volume, usually.
Hm, I wonder if the reason is the MHA issue.
Oh, that's nice! Are these the numbers all volumes usually do upon a new release, or did the Akimoto recommendation boost the backlog in any way?

It would come out later, not sooner, if that were the case.
So is the magazine going to come out earlier than usual this week? Not exactly sure what’s going on.
They are slightly better this time, but not by much.
Oh yeah, I mixed up the dates lol. My bad.
