Any HQ images of other new volume covers?

 

[yadayada]

I honestly can't help but feel this should have been the cover of the first volume instead of the generic one he made for it.

[Mankichi Togawa]

Jesus, this weekly chapters of Kimetsu, Hero Academia and Chainsawman.

Not saying anything until the Sunday, but special attention to these 3 manga.

Dunno if this has been posted here:

So, for a bit of fun, with the volumes dropping in about a week, here's a bunch of questions to ponder:

• How well will Undead and Agravity sell?
• Will One Piece yet again drop? If so, how much?
• Will Black Clover drop or stabilize?
• Will Yozakura grow, drop or stay the same?
• How badly will Zipman bomb?

 

[Franz]

I rather wonder if Covid will affect sales, now that Japan is taking serious initiatives there will be fewer people around to buy volumes.

You keep saying this and I still don't see it, just last week Kingdom's sales didn't drop at all (470k in 4 days for volume 57 vs 480k in 6 days for volume 56, if anything it grew) and animal crossing had a record launch for the switch and the series overall.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Hero Academia manages to barely beat Neverland.

I have a hunch that if issue 20 cover isn't a new serialization round, the cover is going to be for My Hero Academia for "5th anime season celebration", or Chainsawman because popularity poll results.

I really wonder when will Jujutsu get its next cover.

 

[Franz]

You keep saying this and I still don't see it,

In fact, I speak to the future, before Japan had not yet declared the emergency staot, now there is talk of putting Tokyo in lockdown.

Just "ifs" for now though. Unless something does indeed change 2 weeks from now, the stores are still going and people are still buying.

 

[Franz]

But I am talking about people, in fact, stores will also be able to stay open, but how many people will be around to buy manga?

The same number as before? Less ?

For now, nothing really seems to have changed. Unless the government does apply stricter measures, I doubt the numbers will decrease, atleast not significantly.

As for this question, I think undead will probably join the 30k club, but not sure about AB.

OP is hard to predict, volume 95 might have been similar to OP 92, which was an extremely slow volume.

I expect an improvement in Yozakura's sales, might even enter top 50. Zipman will probably be a total flop. No idea about BC.

This is all provided that Japan's situation doesn't change obviously.

 

[101nemesis]

Given how big manga is in Japan, I wonder if they will do something like "delivery to homes" or something along those lines.

Indeed yes, it could be a suitable alternative

 

[Stivie]

Yozakura had two reprints, I think that alone is enough to say that the manga will have good sales in the second volume.
However, I don't know if there were any cases of manga that had reprints in the previous volume and the next one was so bad that it was canceled.
I imagine that there is a possibility that Yozakura will be transferred after all, he does not have good ranks despite good sales.

 

[Thundercat27]

I want to have whatever the fuck Fujimoto is smoking.
God. Truly kino.

30k for undead is a huge overestimate.

You think? I guess we'll see.

act-age 1 got like 10k while csm 1 only got like 25k first week
estimation should based on reality, or just give me what you are smoking.

 

[yadayada]

Whoa, I remembered CSM doing 35k instead of 25k. Yeah, then I'm probably overshooting. I do think it'll do more than act age did though (not that I don't like AA, I do, but it is undeniably a pretty athypical series for WSJ). I guess 20k would be better.
