I can see FLCL, but "pop abara"? Did he mean Abara by Nihei?
Yeah, Abara in pop style.
As a die hard Nihei fan who has Blame as the greatest manga of all time, it delights me to have one of my favourite new and upcoming mangaka referencing Nihei works. That said, I am not really fond of Abara tho. It is Nihei art at his best, but the plot is fucking incomprehensible even comparing to his other works.
and Novel too. I can’t believe CSM is technically bigger than JJK at the time. Not even in my wildest dream. lol
What ?
Did you remember JJK also has a Novel?
I mean, it's already frequently trending on Twitter. Word of mouth is helping it, and there are lots of passioniate fans. It could definitely use a major push, though.
I could see someone like Sion Sono taking a crack at a film adaptation. Style and content seen really suited to his current sensibilities. He's just as nuts as Fujimoto and isn't a stranger to adapting manga.
The question is whether chainsaw man will last?
Watch it become the 4th best-selling running series in Jump after One Piece, My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen. It's wild that it could possibly sell more than Black Clover and Dr. Stone this month already.
A reminder that it was by volume 7, but Jujutsu Kaisen had volume 0 so this accounted for 8 volumes. Chainsaw Man is ahead of Jujutsu Kaisen in growth.Did you remember JJK also has a Novel?
JJK was done 2.5m in circulation as a whole series at volume 7.

To be honest, I can see it hitting 200,000 second week with upcoming volumes, earlier than Jujutsu Kaisen did. Maybe at volume 9 or 10.
It is nice one short with very good art but there is very little sport in it
I definitely hope someone picks up the one-shot first. Even though I just skimmed it, I could tell this could be quite a gem. I just need the translation to pass full judgment
Cuz it probably would be mainly romance series (probably harem) and sport would be plot device to push romance.
I agree. I don't think I've ever seen a one-shot get as much praise. The twitter comments are pretty much flooded with people praising it. There are quite a few comments saying that they never comment on any manga before, but felt like they had to tell the mangaka how much they enjoyed the one-shot. There were comments saying how much they were reminded of their own youth. Then there were a few comments stating how they didn't buy a physical copy of Jump in years and decided to buy one because of that one shot, or how they read Jump for the first time in a long while because of the one-shot. I couldn't find a single comment criticizing it, though I didn't look through all of them.
Out of the ones currently running? If so, then call me biased, but I pick Horikoshi. Dude can make immediately appealing character designs like it's a goddamn factory, IMO. It's quite telling how most of HeroAca's characters have some significant fanbase.
I'm hoping for this too. Having skimmed it, I'd like someone to translate it. I'll make a MangaDex page for it. IMO it'd be great if it somewhat followed the route of Baby Steps.
