Well...I can see why Jump would probably want the series to end, then.
Ouuch, Such a friendly bastard buddy he have.
I feel Oda make burden on his own word to hype Wano arc, he should take easy and relax.
We also have to factor in the digital sales, which is data that we have no info for at all.
Kimetsu, OP and Kingdom for sure. I think Haikyu, MHA and TPN are given's as well. As for the rest of the list, I think Hanako-kun is very likely given the current boost the series is enjoying, and Spy x Family has very high chances as well.
Hanako might be a surprise middle-ranker at the end of the year. One thing's for aure, it's going to have a high placement somewhere at the end of the year. Top 10 might be pushing it, but not completely out of left field as long as the sales remains steady and rising each month.
One Piece, Kimetsu, My Hero Academia, The Promised Neverland, Haikyu!!, 5toubun, Fire Force, Hanako-kun, SPY x FAMILY, and idk, Kingdom? Just look for any good ranker in Oricon lately.
1. Kimetsu
FF print was on 4.5M back on November 27th with 5.8M announced just recently, so yeah, big chances.
As of now, 1.35M copies for this year, with 2 weeks missing.
I'd wager Jujutsu will get on by the end of the year. Very strong current sales + boost from anime will do wonders for it.
Possibly in this same order:
At this point KnY could theoretically beat OP's 100 million record (it's on pace to break OP's 2011 record, having already broken its mid year record).I mean if they really wanted to, they can use the worldwide print numbers to brag about. Shimabu sure as hell used that to brag about OP's success in his memories with Oda-san one shot
Speaking of that one shot, this panel reminded me of the feat Kimetsu has to surpass and thought Id bring it up since I remember people said it may break 100M
Anyway, there's a lot they can use to market OP for but as I said they don't need to, it's a cash cow.
