So it has sold almost 2 million. I suppose those figures will be counted collectively and not individually, right?
Nope, They usually count individually.
Almost 2mln in 5 days...looks like shoseki overestimated the backlog hard. But sweet jesus, especially that special edition number, that's freaking insane...
Anyone know the record for SE fw? That has to be a new record right...
Doesn't make much sense. How will they count it individually if it's the same volume, only with SE? If so, I don't think they would sell it separately if the special edition is going to hurt normal volume.
If I remember correctly what mangani said it was NGE with like 490k, so yeah, by a...pretty absurd margin.
15, *,*33,808 *,498,297 Neon Genesis Evangelion Vol.13 Limited Edition
Uhh, what do you mean hurt normal volume? Selling a special makes more money than selling the normal volume, lol, they don't care if the number looks smaller. And oricon will count it separately, it's 2 skus.
So we will see more of these for the next three volumes, come on under a pandemic and state of emergency getting these numbers, is quite the challenge lol
Different price for both so it makes sense to separate them.
I would probably add Oda to TPN since he mentioned Posuka once in an author comment. So far, Oda said goodbye to every single manga whose author he mentioned in an author comment before.
The SE record is great, but does this mean that it didn't beat One Piece's record for sales in the first five days (I don't quite remember what the exact number is though)? I don't think that any of the remaining KnY volumes have 5 days, so it'll be harder to see if it can break that one.
Special editions are more expensive to buy meaning they make more money. It's also an incentive to get people into a series or to get more people to buy volumes.
Yeah, it didn't break the FW record. It did outsell volume 19's first month in 5 days however, so there's that, lol.
It's fairly balanced. It's not like people are paying the same money. They are being asked to spend more money. I'd call it unbalanced if they clubbed the normal volume with free stuff just to get more people to buy it.

I told you all this was gonna be it, didn't I? lol That aside, over 900,000 for a SE is ridiculous but with Kimetsu it's not really surprising anymore. Kimetsu has come to shatter almost every manga related record out there.

Give it a month or a month and half (or even less), volume 18 is already pretty close and more reprints are coming.
Well I would have preferred to be toe to toe without any special edition or goodies on it, but there's that
Very based
