Yeah, I was definitely thinking below CSM but I thought CSM (and JJK for that matter, actually) had a higher starting point. 30k is definitely overshooting on my part.
Fujimoto was just born that way.
Want to optimistically say Undead 1, Yozakura 2, and Agravity 1 will all hit around 20k, at the very least it seems unlikely that Yozakura won't show some growth. Want to say Zipman will hardly rank on shoseki.
Teh Bochu Jutsu in Jigokuraku might be why it got slapped with an M by Viz. And Saotome Shimai would just give heart attacks to the prudes at Viz( hence why it's not licenced yet). I fear this is the reason why we aren't getting more Jump+ series.
Viz is only doing the translations for Jump+ series they licensed (Spy x Family, Jigokuraku, MHA Vigilantes) excluding Blue Flag. The rest are done by MediaDo so it wouldn't be Viz but either MediaDo or Shueisha themselves (since they're available in Spanish and on Jump+ I assume MediaDo)
Huh...wasn't aware that there was a third company involved...
I really wish we could have an interview with the croc, that would give us more insight about how Gotouge has been working on KnY and what are her future plans.
It's really weird we haven't had one after KnY blew up so absurdly. Gotouge must be a very private person, even by mangaka standards.
Maybe. I think it's better to expect one after KnY ends.
1-2 or 3 years? It takes a while to think up a good story, characters and how you want to visualize everything. But honestly he made so much money with KnY he wouldn't need to do a new series anymore if he doesn't want to and could still live a luxurious life.
Who knows. There's a possibility that we see nothing but one shots. I wouldn't blame Gotouge for wanting to retire with all that money KnY brought in. If Gotouge continues I hope he doesn't stick to the KnY verse and do spinoffs like Watsuki/Sawai.
I think it will have less to do with money and will be more about Gotouge's passion for making manga. If he has enough drive, I think he would give it another try. Though if he made KNY to make money, mission accomplised
What makes you say that?
It was mentioned in the Katayama interview. The high-work ethic part, not the comparison to Hiro Mashima.
Mashima is still on another tier. He did pump out double chapters during FT serialization iirc
