Well, just postponed as I said. But this was very expected.
Guardian of the Witch is essentially a sure thing since it both ends up at the bottom of the TOC frequently and had poor sales. Agravity is less certain of a case since its first volume's sales were acceptable enough, got a reprint, and has an official Twitter account. But at the same time, it's been in the bottom 5 its entire run, hasn't gotten a color page since the beginning, and either isn't getting much votes in the weekly polls or isn't being pushed by the editors. The pros basically match the cons in this case. It could go either way at this point, but veterans winding down may prolong its life a bit.
Interesting, indeed.
This seems to be the only one I could find, pertaining to Volume 43.
The thing with Agravity Boys is that despite the "always" positions in the bottom, everything else has been quite positive towards it, the first volume sold better than everybody expected, got reprints, super great reviews, even recently mentioned in a radio show, all of these are things that never really happens when a manga is just a flop like Guardian for example, a series no one really cares in Japan, so the ToC rankings and sales/overall reception are telling a different story each one which makes everything a lot confusing to predict, a bit like Mitama Security in the opposite, a series that is selling poorly but still got very decent positions in the ToC.
The yearly record is held by OP 61, not 66, at 3,382,588 copies sold, so it's a bit more than that actually

I doubt bookmarks are the sole reason for a 70k increase, considering they're only available and limited at certain stores, and Volume 38-42 all had similar purchase benefits and neither grew this much
You're right, 66 is the one with the biggest first week. Just fixed it.
According to Shoseki:
Mash is a boss on last chapter and it is deserved for top spot. People are looking forward to be animated and can you imagine that? ... Take note Ufotable, better pick Mashle on your list
Thanks. If Shuudan came out now instead of before, those sales would be pretty similar to Undead Unluck I believe. I wonder if it would have survived if it came out now.
probably just in a spot where it’s not doing anywhere near the worse, so there’s no reason to cancel it, but nor is it doing well enough to say it’s doing particularly great
Mashle - 7 (love the past/current "arc" btw)
