I am fully aware that they are family cartoons and they are comparable because the only thing im saying is that those family shows and a few other shows are the only things that stand above OP in Japan. That's it.

Got it.

I just wanted to make my undermine my point with saying that every person i know, also knows it. I wasnt saying it was on the same level as Doraemon. My post shows that I placed it under all those shows and its waaay below Doraemon. "One Piece is not a household name." Come on, maybe you don't like OP which is fine, but that's just bs.

Wasn't really clear the way you said it, but fine. And I never said One Piece isn't a household name lol, I literally just said that it's not as much of one as Doraemon, etc. Which you clearly agree with, which is great. Then this mini-debate is over.
And please don't assume I don't like OP, it was my first ever manga. How dare you

 

[Thehoennhippo]

No Guardian of the Witch on honto huh, not particularly surprising but still kinda sad to see.

 

[Griff]

Kimetsu no Yaiba is the most popular manga ever and it's not even that close. 40m sales in half a year we've never witness that KNY probably about to make 70 to 80m in a whole year.

LOL please stop using sales as the only metric when it comes to popularity, Kimetsu isn't even close to Dragon Ball popularity wise

How?

 

[Melvo]

Ghost writer will be a hit, I bet it.

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

This One sure has very me intrigued NGL, mostly cause of the potential the plot May have, and the art Date sure has a very clean artsyle to me, tho I’m gonna keep my expectations in check, not setting the bar to high in case it goes south, since it could go either way. But any way looking forward to this

 

[Teennitro]

Ghost writer will be a hit, I bet it.

Don't jinx it

 

[tirakai]

Time for some last minute guesses.

Undead's getting a colour page so its placement doesn't matter, main things I'm curious about is if Mashle will continue to stay in the top 7 since I think it hasn't dropped below that yet, and if Agravity Boys will escape the bottom 5 or drop right back down again.

Would be nice to see Mashle hit the top 5.

 

[Halloween]

Yeah, I'm trying to temper my expectations for ghostwriter, but I do have a good feeling about it.

The medium of manga didn't start together with oricon, you know. There's lots of extremely popular series besides Kimetsu (or One Piece, for that matter), even before we consider that "sales in the year" isn't the only metric for popularity.

 

[Halloween]

Guys, I think you're taking Griff's post too literally.

He's obviously talking about manga sales within a year, and he's right.

Goodness dr stone really came along way considering the fact it grossed so much money this month.

 

[Gilroygladbouy]

Damn. Wish I could’ve been here for the earlier topics but it’s cool. Anyways, Time Paradox Ghostwriter looks like it’ll be the best out of the new three imo. i Don’t think Moriking will be for me and Bone Collection, although I am a sucker for Battle Shōnen, this one seems to be executed kind of poorly although the second chapter had noticeable improvement. Again, it’s still early to tell anything about these three but I hope Ghostwriter will be good.

 

[tirakai]

I'd like to take a moment to remind people of the last batch, where Guardian of the Witch got the most hype by a good bit yet ended up being by far the least popular of the three.

Maybe it'll be good, maybe it'll be bad, you really can't judge it from one picture and a quick description.

 

[101nemesis]

Kimetsu no Yaiba is the most popular manga ever and it's not even that close. 40m sales in half a year we've never witness that KNY probably about to make 70 to 80m in a whole year.

To clarify, are you stating it's popularity as a series is greater than One Piece/DBZ popularity in Japan? Or are specifically talking about it from a sales perspective for this year?

This is surprisingly how most batches have seemed to go.

I don't understand that Dr. Stone growth. I wasn't part of this thread when the anime came out, but i've seen some of you say that It didn't increase the Sales a lot at the time of the anime but in the last few months It saw a unexpected rise in sales.

And now, so long after the First season, in the middle of the Coronavirus, it keeps increasing? Have something similar ever happened?

Apparently this current boost is from a popular talkshow, IIRC.
