I remember the recent Slam Dunk re-release took up a lot of the top 50 but I think it was only for a few weeks?
100% this, not to mention all the dozens of mangas that or get kicked out of the top 50 earlier or not even appear in it because of the backlog, i don't even think it's impressive anymore, just boring.
Yup, as ridicolous as this is it's taking so much "info" away from everything else it's not even funny.
I fear that Yozakura is going to do a bit worse since many of the chapters in volume 2 weren't nearly as good as the ones in volume 1 or the ones that'll be in volume 3. That could hurt it quite a bit this time around. I'm pretty surprised Undead didn't get another CP before its first volume came out. I thought it was basically all but guaranteed one.
Reaction to finding out he's not getting the ax (please)?

You know, you can never know with Tsurun...
What's the timeline here? Because generally the novels since Haikyu or so have had covers and illustrations by the creators.Sharing this article I found.
『鬼滅の刃』小説版がジャンプ史上最速で100万部を突破した理由 装丁を刷新し､ナンバリングを廃止
人気マンガ『鬼滅の刃』の小説版がシリーズ累計で100万部を突破した。ライターの飯田一史氏は「『人気マンガの小説版なのだから売れて当然だろう』と思う人もいるかもしれない。だが、それは違う。集英社がこれまでのノベライズの常識を大改革した結果だ」という――。president.jp
Quick summary:
-KnY novels have sold over 1 million copies (the fastest novel to reach this numbers from Jump J books)
-They said since 2005, they had red/low numbers.
-D gray man novel (dunno which one of them) saved them.
-Also its pretty normal to get novels based on popular manga, but it's pretty difficult for them to reach 100,000 copies sold.
-They said that they had a very low record in sales, to the point that they wouldn't place the novels next to the manga volumes.
-Now after KnY novel's success, they would place them next to manga volumes (this means that with this success, they have now regained their trust over other works).
-This department that is in charge of the novels, works together with the mangaka:
-They said they had this losing streak with the novels because they weren't "Canon" and they didn't include illustrations from the mangaka that would attract the readers.
- There are two groups: the editors + mangaka and the editors + the novelist. Both editors are in contact, and the ideas that the mangaka have that can't be added into the main story because it can ruin the pacing and that sort of things, those ideas are taken by the editor's novelist and with that, the novelist will start working on them.
-Now with this new system, they look for the novelist to be fan of the work, in order to deliver an accurate work.
-They take the mangaka's own ideas that couldn't use in the main story, and this way they are motivated to draw some scenes that would have loved to include but they couldn't.
I hope you find this interesting.
It only mentions that novel from D gray man, they started to use the mangaka illustrations (specially for the cover) so after this they began to raise the sales but not to the extent of selling 100,000 copies.
3 weeks of Haikyuu solely because Kimetsu's hogging too many spots. Imagine if Kimetsu was a 50 volume series. This thread would've been...something.
I answered his tweet, but since it was firstly stated in Oricon that 40M included series and digital right when it was announced, what the text says (I think) is that physical number has grown up to more than 40M copies without needing digital to achieve that goal. Which is honestly an insane growth in the span of time those two questions may have been made lmao.
Physical sales alone are past 50M right now. Does Oricon even track digital at all?
They sure are, that's why I'm really curious about what Volume 20 reveals. And afaik, nope, Oricon doesn't track digital.
