KnY was neither of those things.
Can only speak towards the anime (what got it to explode), but it had wholesome moments, many of them between Tanjirou and Nezuko, Zenitsu and his old man backstory, Zenitsu and those kids in that tower, actually one could say each anime arc had them. And it got really fluffy at times, how he was a doting brother, a doting friend, zenitsu crying for/on him, tanjiru crying and professing gladness and glee for folks he saved or made it out of situations well.
CSM has wholesome/fluffy moments as well, though.
Do you not read the series? I know I'm being baited here, but the entire current arc is LITERALLY about just that. From multiple characters, even.
LMAO WHAT??? Have you actually been reading this series?
Wholesome and fluffy will score you a hell of a lot of upvotes on the manga subreddit, but that obviously doesn’t translate to sales. And even then, Chainsaw Man’s super popular on there without that stuff. It’s practically taken Kimetsu’s spot as the top current Jump property there.
There's also the fact that, outside of One Piece, CSM leaks spoilers the earliest, I believe.
Attack on Titan, Death Note were definitely not wholesome and fluffy, Shark.
People would put Shingeki in that category considering the childhood friends relationship Eren and Mikasa and Armin have, as well as Ymir and Christa, Marco and Reiner as well as the inspiring uplifting message of determination against the odds in the series, its actually similar to KnY with that sense that uplifts you/makes you feel good with how the anime frames/presents the story. The series leaves you with a wholesome feeling.
You're reaching so far that NASA should use you to go to the Moon
It ran at late night and those never get high ratings.
This just makes me wonder what ratings Kimetsu no Yaiba got then.
True, Tabata did a really great job in building and developing Asta chemistry between Yuno and the Black Bulls, it feels totally like a family and a good and healthy friendship/rivarly with Yuno, their bonds is one of the most wholesome things on SJ at the moment, i will also forever love the slap in the face by Tabata in all of the "Yuno is just a Sasuke clone" people kkkk
We'll never know (Actually, Chihayafuru season 3 managed to break into the top 10 and it was a late night show, I had forgotten about that).
Wait. Kimetsu never broke into top 10?
Not even once. The top 10 is comprised mostly of long running series the air in ther morning or afternoon. One Piece and My Hero Academia have been the only two Jump animes able to place in the top 10.
