Man, I missed a whole lot. Okay, here goes nothing:

This batch of color pages was really damn good. One of the best overall in recent weeks.
- BnK looks really interesting, though if I have to be completely honest, making the two main leads brothers is a bad move. This manga looks primed to have a large fujoshi audience to me, so why even try to hinder that? Could be the difference between surviving and dying.
- We Never Learn’s color page actually makes me want to read the Asumi route. How many chapters left? I might just binge read it before the end. Many people say it’s the best by far.
- Cop and Dolphin’s color page is just beautiful. I fucking live for the colors and shading here. Best color page in a bit for me.
- High School Family’s color page is alright. The cat’s pretty funny tho.
- Burn the Witch... it’s Kubo, it’s pretty darn good, no surprise.
- So, the GFC is back! This is my first experience with it. I hope MangaPlus translates the entries! It probably won’t happen, but some of them legitimately look interesting so who the hell knows? We may see one or two of these in Jump a year or two from now!

That won't stop the fujoshi, so it isn't much of a bad move.

 

[Thehoennhippo]

I think the thing that will hinder shipping is more the age gap than them being brothers tbh.

Maybe they'll introduce a sexy vampire rival for the older brother lol.

Nah, just look at the amount of homolust Blue Exorcist got with legit blood related brothers.

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

my post from August is already outdated

because GFC entry Red Hood is his 7th (SEVENTH) oneshot
man, my boy better get a series before he start spamming a oneshot every month

 

[Caiops]

The GFC has comeback.

1,2,5 look great

What if he just really likes oneshots

 

[Serinox]

inb4 everybody hypes up GFC one-shot No. 4 just because it is a sports series xD

 

[KagamiKuroko]

That ichigo rip-off kek

 

[Thehoennhippo]

Whole bunch of reprints, Mashle 1-2, and Yozakura 1 for the newbies. Any idea what type of reprints these are?

Below haikyuu is partial, haikyuu and above is full

Some interesting stuff to notice here. Rejoice people, Kimetsu no Yaiba's backlog boost is finally over (for now at least, the movie might change that lol). Meanhile, Haikyuu!! is still riding on some nice backlog boost, I'm slowly starting to actually consider if it could actually beat One Piece this year. Chainsaw Man is still doing amazing, crossing fingers for 200,000 first week soon. No reprints for Dr. Stone 17 and My Hero Academia 28 yet, which raises some questions.

Undead Unluck 3 is either not increasing when compared to volume 2 or they gave it a print big enough to withstand current sales, though seeing how it has been in the charts, I'm inclined to believe the former is correct. Mashle is still riding on success, all of its reprints have been going out to bookstores entirely and hopefully we'll see a bigger first week when volume 3 is released. Yozakura is still getting reprints that will go to warehouses, it does seem like they don't trust the series. And Black Clover is still getting the most random reprints out of all the magazine's current line up lol.

Ya know what, yall are actually right. xD I guess I'll go back to saying that no matter the quality, I expect higher than usual sales for this because of the amount of fujoshi that'll probably check out this title.

Oh, also this:

So now we can talk about the peak or we just wait for the movie?

I'd say wait for the movie, boosts are always unpredictable.

 

[Discomusic]

Or is it? Maybe it's an exorcist manga where they use magical badminton rackets to seal evil spirits.

Mashle with those reprints. I thought UxU with the boost it got from the awards would catch up but Mashle is still just going nonstop and exceeding existing prints.
Vol 3 will be one to watch.

I'm definitely expecting the movie to push the momentum back up again at least for a little bit. They will definitely go crazy with the animation in the movie and that will get people talking again.

The interesting thing is that there is no KnY 22 reprint scheduled, imho. KnY 21 was 3mln, but also had an emergency reprint 2 days after release as well as several after that. So that might mean they're upping the print for 22 once again, perhaps significantly.

 

[Magister Xehanort]

Viz accidentally uploaded early the chapter 173 of We Never Learn.

Honestly, at this point I'm surprised they haven't just gone ahead and given it a 4 million initial print. They seem so keen on leaving that record with One Piece.
