I beg to differ. MHA#11, #21, #25 are easily one of the best all time.

Undead has official goods now.

Dowman Sayman drew Makima.

 

[James Rye]

15k is what last Yozakura (and Undead) volume did in a month, Mashle will for sure do more than 20k overall

That's what I thought about Undead and it just sold barely more than Vol.2 of Yozakura. If Mashle gets over 20k I will be happy for it but we gotta wait and see if the good rankings it gets can be so easily translated into good sales or not.

View media item 23280Volume 11 of Jujutsu kaisen

Man, look at all that raw Bossness oozing outta that cover, damn~ <3

Itd be funny if JJK's boost ends up beating Kimetsu's

Lol, I doubt that. I mean Yaiba sold how much before the anime aired? 100k, 200k or 300k? Now it is at several millions per volume, we are talking not of 100% or 200% or 300% increase of sales but 1000%, 2000% or 3000%! That is insane! If JjK doubles/triples its sales it will already be a huge success and gets another season for sure.

It could be worse, like Toei animating it.

Poor One Piece and Toriko.

No pity for World Trigger then? <.<

Lol, Andy's merch being a finger bullet shot at you with a bloodstream behind it. xD
Fuuko looks cute. <3
I think Undead is the first of the new series to get merch, isn't it? Or did Yozakura also got merch and I just didn't notice it so far or forget about it?

Dowman Sayman drew Makima.

A lot of mangaka have been drawing Makima in particular. Scum’s Wish author, Negi Haruba (5toubun author...), now the Voynich Hotel author.

Makima was also trending on Twitter yesterday, she is really popular.

 

[Franz]

Anyone have an idea on when the half-year ranking will be out?

1. Demon Slayer
2. One Piece
3. Gotobun
4. Kingdom
5. My Hero
6. Neverland
7. Haikyu
8. Hanako
9. Aot
10. Spy x Family

 

[101nemesis]

Mashle could sell between 25-30k.
JK with anime boost, I'm hoping 800-900k but realistically might be closer to 600-700k range.

 

[Koni]

Reminder: New info on Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai will arrive a little over 24 hours from now:

 

[Serinox]

Grain of salt as always, but seems likely they would know with the announcement in the upcoming issue.

 

[Neala897]

Grain of salt as always, but seems likely they would know with the announcement in the upcoming issue.

There is going to be more saltness of not getting main cover than gladness of getting anime

 

[Koni]

God fucking damn it. Now my two friends who’s read the manga are gonna nag me to hell and back. XD

Assuming the rumors are true. Also, it would make sense that it doesn’t get the cover as it’s really different from like Jump in general.

 

[Rouk']

Grain of salt as always, but seems likely they would know with the announcement in the upcoming issue.

I hope they are wrong again (like they were with the Mao announcement a few weeks ago), cause no cover would make me very salty

 

[Stivie]

I wanted to know how the Japanese feel about Moriking, bone collection and TPGW.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

If this is true I'd be mad for many reasons:
-Neverland getting more covers and better treatmente by Nak than freaking Kimetsu for its end (and its 8 climax)
-If Neverland ends in next chapter, then it will be having a special treatment only Kochikame and Slam Dunk have enjoyed
-Act-age not getting the cover for the anime, which I think has only happened to Hinomaru and Yuuna in this decade
-Then, they could have delayed the Act-age cover for next issue, but the cover is already confirmed for One Piece (and unlike Neverland, One Piece is getting the cover for no reason)

 

[101nemesis]

I HIGHLY doubt TPN will get a cover for the end. Where are people getting that idea from?

Act Age getting an anime is as surprising as the Sun rising.
Honestly, don't really care much for it gets the cover for the announcement. They can always just give it the cover the following WSJ issue to reiterate it which I think is what they did with some series in the past, though I can't be bothered to remember or check which one.

 

[OtterBrigade]

act-age gets surprisingly few covers. The last one was March of this year, before that was November, before that was February 2019 and before that, was it's debut cover in February 2018. It gets a lot of colour pages though so maybe Shiro Usazaki has something against doing covers but is fine with CPs for some reason? Just seems weird to me how in frequent the covers come.

apparently this chapter fills a volume (because the final volume has never been longer or mostly been made up of extras) and Jump calling it the "climax" for the tenth time must mean it ends. We know One Piece has the cover next week so act-age couldn't have it there either.

Though, if the Promised Neverland ends, I feel like the leaks would say that the manga has ended. I guess we'll have to see as the week goes on, but I kinda doubt the manga's ending.

 

[101nemesis]

If anything, CSM has had the least covers in the last year (End of May 2019 - Present) among the series that deserves more. JK also deserves way more covers for how big it is getting without an anime.

OP - 6 covers
KNY - 5 Covers
HQ - 4 Covers
MHA - 4 Covers
TPN - 3 covers (not including the upcoming one)
Dr. Stone - 3 Covers
Act Age - 2 Covers
Jujutsu - 2 Covers
Black Clover - 2 Covers
Chainsaw Man - 1 Cover

Yuuna didn't get a cover but that's expected.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Jujutsu and Act-age (and Chainsawman) are the veterans with less covers. I feel than Dr.Stone for example has gotten more covers in its first 100 chapters than these 3 titles.

Wondering how the situation will change since Kimetsu is over, Neverland is supposedly ending, and maybe Haikyuu is ending in fall (not counting WNL since it has been +1 year without cover already)
