Manga+ doesn't announced stuff in advance, if they add it it will just appear
Let's ask a question, can you guys think of really "striking" first chapter for a series which died? Like, not one you liked, one you can say genuinely left an impact.
I mean.., that's true. But it's sometimes interesting to track sales, like watching Kimetsu's growth. If I time traveled back to 2016 and told everyone that Kimetsu would be a monster hit at the decade's end, no one would believe me.
Golem Hearts
I think you're memory is self-correcting itself a bit with Golem Hearts. Chapter 1 was...the heroes stopping some random thugs. The actual story didn't start until Chapter 2.
Whenever the dad died. If that wasn't ch 1 then I retract that answer.
It wasn't. And he didn't die. He was impaled but recovered.
KnY's success reminds me of Magi's success but obviously to a greater extent. Both series were hardly selling much at the start and now both titles have became massive hits of all time for their respective magazine.
Despite the overly mediocre reception, I really saw something in Beast Children's first chapter. You could really feel the author's passion for the sport and the premise was nice. If Chapters 1 and 2 were merged together, it might have been better received. The Last Saiyuki gets an honorable mention as well, especially for being a flop that I appreciated more and more with every chapter later into it's run.
Nope. I haven't touched any WSJ series since July (probably) aside from some newbie chapters to see what the quality was like.
There's been numerous translations of the name since it doesn't directly pertain to that incident to begin with.
That name is entirely commonplace in Japan and Hori's naming conventions has never needed a disclaimer in fact Japanese readers were able to get what the intent was for the name from the get go but got hounded for being "for not being able to understand because they weren't Korean/Chinese". It was obviously a very complicated situation.
That's fair but I would have liked more moderation on the topic if people were generally hurt by the usage of the word and trying to distance themselves from those using it as an excuse to harass and send death threats to the author and that's the main reason why people don't seem to care about their plight over Hori's unintentional usage of word and its history because they just see a bunch of hysterics harassing an author over a word.
Potential is the key word there that doesn't mean they're going to start making manga or anime meant to cater specifically for the Chinese audience, there would be a sizable backlash towards it. Most of the revenue anime makes is always going to come from Japan since the foreign cost is disproportionate towards it.
And then you wind up with situations like Attack On Titan where the author refused to compromise their integrity and it wind up effecting nobody since China missed out on the biggest anime of the last decade due to their own polices. Its not particularly cut and dry nor is it detrimental to skimp out on a market share, part of the reason Hollywood is so compliant is because so many of their movies are overbudgeted and sometimes when they have so little faith in a film they need to depend on the foreign market.

The interview I just posted...
Which I'm reading right now lol, but still why not film the interview? xD
Problem is, Kimetsu's already entered the endgame, and it's not likely to be extended past this half year. The way I see it, Kimetsu's popularity will wind down in the next 1-2 years or so, which is when the anime adaptation probably ends. That said, it will still go down as part of Jump's "Twin Pillars" alongside Heroaca in the 2010s.
