I’m not arguing that AT will survive for years or become a huge.

The discussion is on the first volume and the 1st volume alone.

Maybe it’ll drop as time goes on. Same as S8 and RxL. But 1st volume Yabuki fans will probably come through,

OK. So you can agree that out of 4 manga, a maximum of 2 will be successful.

After all, it is very difficult for the 4 to survive for a long time, regardless of the position of the toc.

 

[Mammo]

It's the official manga or more like a spinoff? since they're not using the main character in the promotion

spinoff focusing on Luke

Myakunashi (One-shot by Kawaguchi Yuuki)

this is his sixth oneshot after: Skeleton Bolt, Devil in the Wasteland, Kiraboshi no Meryl, Furenai Futari, Yadokari no Kuni
really hope that's a sign they will get serilazed soon, I'm a fan

 

[Serinox]

Good quality cover without watermark:

 

[Konja9]

If I were you I would expect sales of Magu chan and Ayakashi triangle volumes.
after Moriking you can't trust toc position.

Yeah. The top of the TOC isn't so reliable. It is possible the Moriking was popular in polls, but this doesn't reflect sales. Or it is possible they want to promote Moriking for other reasons (maybe it is popular with kids).

However, the positions at the bottom of the TOC seem to still be pretty reliable about what expect regarding sales.

not entirely, since Yozakura is always at the bottom of the toc, even having good sales.

Nice.
I always have a soft spot for reverse harem.

missed opportunity to have an all male cast

May read, though i wish it got an anime.

 

[OtterBrigade]

though i wish it got an anime.

didn't it just start this month?

 

[tirakai]

It's funny that when we finally get World's End Harem on Manga+, it's a gender flipped spin-off.

I'm happy with it though, I'm always glad to see them put up more Jump+ series.

 

[Jovan]

Kind of surprising, but Burn the Witch will have at least 2 volumes. Volume 1 out in October.

but people said its four chapters? how will it have that many volumes?

 

[101nemesis]

Kind of surprising, but Burn the Witch will have at least 2 volumes. Volume 1 out in October.

Does this mean there would be tons of extra content in the volumes or the last 2 chapters would be incredibly long?
It's also possible that this is just WSJ's way to milk it since it is super short.

 

[tirakai]

Being titled 'volume 1' doesn't necessarily mean there'll be a vol 2, it's just easier to keep a consistent list if everything gets a number.

 

[Serinox]

Jump itself said it will be four chapters.

 

[Jovan]

Being titled 'volume 1' doesn't necessarily mean there'll be more volumes, it's just easier to keep a consistent list if everything gets a number.

Not true, as there is a One Piece related volume below it that doesn't have a number in brackets at all.
And not to mention neither The Comiq and Dr. Stone Reboot Byakuya had any numbers for their release.

 

[tirakai]

The book below is titled One Piece Quiz Book 3.

The Comiq and Byakuya and the various Toriyama mini-series are all technically vol 1 of these series as well and were probably catalogued as such, it's just not printed on the cover since it's only for record keeping.

 

[Tamil]

Mashle's colors are so boring, I like dr stone's more. Black Clover also popped off pretty hard

It's decent but you have to remember he's a newbie so comparing to Dr.Stone is unfair. The good thing is that he's clearly evolving as an artist. At the rate Koumoto is growing as an artist, it wouldn't surprise me if we get gorgeous color pages from him in the near future. It's a similar case to Kimetsu so give it time.

I agree that BC's color page is amazing and Kubo's artwork is stellar.

 

[RafGL]

Kind of surprising, but Burn the Witch will have at least 2 volumes. Volume 1 out in October.

I will go with two theories, one Jump being pretty trashy and making short volumes with 2 chapters each to make as much money as possible.

Two, it's just a way of internally differentiating this volume and the previously released Burn The Witch One-Shot Tankobon.

Either way, we'll know for sure in 3 more weeks. No rush.

Burn The Witch one-shot had a tankobon release?
