I had a random idea that I wanna spit out before I forget: We could take a look at the Top 5 or 10 highest voted characters in any WSJ popularity poll, and then we can predict how far their positions will fall once the Kimetsu no Yaiba popularity poll results release.

Or it'll be like One Piece in which they'll be so many votes that it'll spread out to the extended cast.

I mean, I've seen relatively little fanart for the new characters introduced in the arc sans Tama, and few mentions of it in polls, so I'm willing to say a lot of readers simply haven't been taking to it for a number of reasons. That doesn't mean much either.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure Bakugo’s Top 5 now with the most recent popularity poll.

It different now with the recent mha popularity poll bakugo is now number four. 1st Son Gohan 51,921
2nd Son Goku 48,256
3rd Trunks 29,627
4th Katsuki Bakugo 22,826
5th Kakashi Hatake 22,692

I will lay wide outta the window here and say that KnY will have two of its characters take a Top5 spot.

 

[savethecat]

Spy x Family's growth is pretty insane.
It's really funny how last year when people were saying MHA was the most a series will sell, KNY came in and destroyed that opinion
Then people argued that newer series sell a lot less than they did in the past (in an attempt to explain the lack of sales of some other series), SxF comes in and is proving that wrong as well.

To be fair, KnY and SxF are just two outliers. An explosion like KnY will likely only come once maybe twice a decade.
And it’s extremely rare, like once in a blue moon, that a series blows up like SxF right out of the gate.

So every series shouldn’t be held to those standards. I don’t think it’s so much ppl thought it was impossible for new series to reach that level of success. Just that there’s only like a 2% chance of that kinda of explosion ever happening for a series

Agenda is a weird word for this.
I'm just dangling some bait, is all. Someone has to since Shark hasn't been doing his work

 

[Mammo]

have SxF overtake OPM's sales yet?

if it did it will become the highest selling web comic in Japan

 

[BX-02BLODIA]

Is "Web Comics" the correct terminology to use for Jump Plus titles?

 

[101nemesis]

Pretty sure OPM volumes at their peak sold close to a million. So I can only imagine some volumes would have peaked beyond 1 million.
Translation - No. Not yet.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Waiting for Buranchi to appear and discount the votes to post the results, but i have to say, i think a lot of you will be surprised by the results kkkkkk

Act-Age drops below the great wall of Yaiba unfortunately lol. Quite a drop for Yozakura, but I'm wondering if it has anything do do with stock issues. Mitama stayed exactly the same I believe, which in and of itself is interesting.

Yozakura dropped 45 positions and Mitama dropped 57

I thought Mitama was 167 on 2/6 Shoseki as well?

Yeah, it was, it went 51-96-167-167. It held a little bit after four days, and it might stay the entire week on the daily list, which is... something?

 

[Rain Spectre]

Mitama didn't rise or drop at all? That's...odd.

Any changes in estimates?

lol you're right i got confused with other first volume of a Plus manga, my bad
