Kimetsu no Yaiba has officially surpassed One Piece to become the best-selling manga in Oricon within a calendar year.
We dont have to wait for the yearly report, we will have the Half year one the next month if everything goes well in the world.
this is truly shonen plot progression for MC.. start as nobody, keep growth and improved and come out at the top in the last.. even beat the veteran and surpass the legend..wkwkwkwk
No it wasn't. People really like to throw this around like it's fact, but I've never seen any evidence that I didn't find shaky(at best) that it's true. Remember, One Piece started serializing in mid summer of 1997. Rave Master started serializing in mid summer of 1999. In other words Mashima's as much Oda's contemporary as Kishimoto or Kubo are in that he's been a professional mangaka for only two years less than Oda has been. Only Mashima works for a different magazine, owned by a different publisher, and he's never talked about so much as reading WSJ series that were gaining popularity while he was busy making Rave Master.
Literally exponential, lol.
Pretty much this. OP fandom love to discredit Mashima on this, when in fact he came around at the same time as Kishimoto. Just two years removed from Oda. It's also something I resent most of the fandom for. I enjoyed FT for what it's worth up until the last arc, where things started to drag out and the Erza wank was getting ridiculous.
I dunno, Rave looked less like One Piece than early Fairy Tail did, imo. I wouldn't blame anyone who sees this and says that Mishima was influenced by Oda's art:
It's kind of a funny thing. Rave Master didn't look a lot like OP, and that was Mashima's earliest work. Mangakas develop and evolve their art over the years, but early FT was like your weird, awkward teenage period in terms of his art development, which had the unfortunate coincidence of looking a lot like someone else's work.I dunno, Rave looked less like One Piece than early Fairy Tail did, imo. I wouldn't blame anyone who sees this and says that Mishima was influenced by Oda's art:
Mashima has discredited this monstrous work output. Thanks to digital art, he only draw like 4-5 days per week. Oda on the other hand for example doesn't go digital, he hates it.
I mean, it usually is out on Thursday for me, which is tomorrow. I see no reason for the leaks to be early this week (since there are no holidays yet). The next one probably will though.
Nah I doubt digital art was the reason Mashima once put out double chapters for fours weeks on a row. Even before going digital his work ethics was impressive.
One Piece spoilers are already out.
