I'm not 100% sure but I think Haikyuu has beaten 5toubun in 2020 total sales and got the 3rd place in top-10 this week. If not, then next week or the following one for sure.

I'd say this is being surprisingly the best year ever for Haikyuu despite all the stuff that happened (I've never seen Haikyuu fanbase so alive neither), but in 2014 it sold +8 million copies.

[James Rye]

That backlog is still good, right?

 

[MrDropCombo]

I also agree with including warnings of sensitive scenes/topics as realistically it isn’t asking for much.

As for the 4 newbies, none of them have really grab my attention in anyway although I’m behind so that might play a part

That comic for the rest of the popularity results was funny. I fucking love Jigokuraku.

Seems like Mashle is on the rise again. Probably thanks to reprints?

 

[Ryuusei]

Nope, reprints only go out on the 3rd. This is just Mashle surviving through the huge amount of volumes that have been released over the past week.

That's... not what I expected:

But worldwide distribution right off the bat is very good.

PV for Burn The Witch anime:

To be honest, I think this is the smarter move. Bleach movies never did really set the box office on fire but they always did incredibly well on DVDs. I'm assuming Burn The Witch can generate way more income via digital streaming.

 

[Aeneas]

Didn't mention it in the editor update, but yeah, Saito is now a Deputy Editor-in-Chief.

He joined in 2005 and also launched Kuroko's and Nisekoi.

 

[lgrmjauffre]

Chainsaw Man is suffering in manga form, for both the characters and the reader.

 

[tirakai]

Tabata's comment got me curious. Of the current line up, the mangaka that have been running in wsj alongside Kubo before I think are

Oda
Horikoshi
Tabata
Inagaki (with Eyeshield 21)
Nakamura Atsushi (with Kurokuroku)
Hasegawa (with Koi no Cupid)
Tsunehiro Date (with Tokyo Wonder Boys)
Yabuki (with To Love Ru)
Tamura (with Beelzebub)

so about half of them.

 

[SharkBait]

i thought viz uploaded in toc order, was strange to see Agravity Boys as not the first thing I read since it was always like the first that they did

Did anyone else realize that all scenes in the trailer are from the first chapter of the manga?

 

[Halloween]

Oh man, I loved seeing all the new character names towards the end of the BtW chapter.

I swear, I could read a series where Kubo just introduces new characters with batshit insane names.

My Hero Academia has been very very superb this week. Pure fire. Chainsawman, all of us know what happened this week. Yozakura Family and Black Clover also have really strong chapters.

 

[Tarot]

How does Fujimoto manage his day to day needs with those giant balls?

 

[TyVip]

apparently Spy is off this week and won't resume until Sep 6, instead Rengoku no Ashe oneshot was translated (in JPN Jump+), kinda off how M+ doesn't translate it.

 

[Koni]

Burn the Witch releases on Crunchyroll on October 2.

 

[TheRealTravisty]

Whew, this week sure was something. I think the top 2 are obvious winners this week.

1. My Hero Academia
It was a difficult choice, but I think MHA takes it just because it felt like more happened in this chapter.
2. Chainsaw Man
I knew it was coming, but man it still hurt. What the hell is going to happen now?
3. We Never Learn
I'm liking how the Asumi storyline is progressing. I know I'm biased. Shhh.
4. Me & Roboco
I'm shocked by how much this made me laugh. What the hell was the mom holding this week?
5. Hard-Boiled Cop & Dolphin
I'm also shocked by this. It was legitimately funny. The dialogue was on point this chapter, which makes things frustrating. When Tamura's on a roll, he's really got it.

Other thoughts:
- I can't say I care for Burn the Witch at all.
- Ayakashi Triangle was also surprisingly entertaining this week. Maybe something's wrong with me.
- I did like Black Clover this week too, but in terms of entertainment, I did enjoy my 4th and 5th place chapters more.
- Mission: Yozakura Family...it felt like it could have been a really good chapter, but the pacing was off. It went by way too quickly, and speaking honestly, I find Taiyo to be an extremely boring main character. Having him back so soon is absolutely disappointing.
- I probably need to reread Undead Unluck. I felt a bit confused.
- Bone Collection...*sigh* Good riddance. What a colossal mess. It definitely deserved to be a member of the U19 club.
- Time Paradox Ghostwriter leaves me cold yet again.
