Seems goods are the prizes for the initial campaign that was launched for the series, the fanart one. We'll see how it does.
I don't think we're basically having a single axe soon. Even if there's series ending, there's still enough time for them to last until May if anything, and the 3 newbies we have still need to develop and perform in order to see what stays and whatnot, and then release a new round.
That means KnY needs 17 million sales to surpass OP 2011 numbers. We have 40 weeks left until Oricon 2020 fiscal year is over. So KnY needs an average of 425k sales per week until the last week of Oricon fiscal year!
SW1 did about 10K total. So worse.
I mean, we have WNL, Kimetsu, Neverland, Yuuna, all their endings lining up in the span of, what, two-three months? God knows when the axe is going to happen, though I doubt Zipman is long for the world. And we still need to axe Samurai 8.
Ooooor maybe it's because the series launched were judged by readers as not being very good. It's not like I can name much of anything which was very deserving of sticking. Taisei, Beast, Shinobi all deserved their fates.
When that happens, the OP fandom will lose their minds.
Strange. That must have been one of those minor fluctuations you see all the time then. Or maybe Dr Stone got a small surge in views back on Jan 6th even though it didn't have a chapter out. The other WSJ series went down by thousands.
Why?
This is absolutely true, but the parts of the fanbases that are extreme enough to openly flame about sales of all things aren't going to use logic. On either side.Why?
Yes, Kimetsu no Yaiba success and sales are AMAZING but I think a lot of people underestimates all One Piece has done in the last 10-12 years.
I think Kimetsu no Yaiba 2020 sales will surpass One Piece 2011 record (probably Kimetsu sales will be over 40 million copies in 2020) but we must see it in perspective.
Do you remember One Piece's situation in 2011? One Piece had a backlog of 60 Volumes and 200,000,000 copies printed. I mean, One Piece sold almost 38,000,000 copies with a huge consolidated fandom and a huge backlog, and even in that situation, One Piece could gain a lot a new readers in those years (2010-2011-2012) thanks to Strong World Film and Marineford arc in Anime.
Kimetsu no Yaiba situation was very diferent. When boost started last year, Kimetsu had a backlog of 14-15 Volumes and a very modest sales. Thanks to the Anime popularity and social networks impact, a lot of new readers arrived and bought all Volumes to catch up with the story (that's why all Kimetsu Volumes has similar total sales).
I don't know what do you think about it but for me, even when both cases are AMAZING, I think it's more "easy" get an extended boost for a few months/years in Kimetsu situation (or Shingeki no Kyojin, Death Note, Full Metal Alchemist... in the past) that in One Piece situation. I mean, for a new reader it's much more easy start a new Manga with only 15-20 Volumes on sale that another one with 50-60 Volumes
I think My Hero Academia is more a "goblal success" for Shueisha and Kimetsu no Yaiba is still a "local success" for them. At least for now, let see what will happen in 2020 and 2021 (especially when will Kimetsu no Yaiba end).
It's true. It's why OP and Kingdom's respective growths despite being 30-40+ volumes in was remarkable. Getting new readers to invest so much time to catch up on so many chapters is a daunting thing to ask.Why?

MHA will probably the series WSJ leans back on aside from OP once KNY and TPN end. So it'll still be one of their premier series.
