Where are UU 1 and 2 ranked?

#207 and #235, respectively.

 

[James Rye]

#207 and #235, respectively.

That's like 4-5k sales so the Volumes are over 30k and on their way to 40k, correct?

Hard to say until the weekly ranking comes out.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Also Undead Unluck's backlog:
#270 Vol 1
#415 Vol 2

Vol 2 had quite the drop.

 

[James Rye]

@Shinuki no Reborn You know me, I'd prefer less votes but I guess with only 30 voters I can live with the current state, at least for a while. ^^
But I still think that handing over 11 J points per person on a single series is way too much and need some reworking. :/

Also Undead Unluck's backlog:
#270 Vol 1
#415 Vol 2

Vol 2 had quite the drop.

Yeah, considering the difference from last day to now, feels more like Vol.2 didn't had enough copies to sell for the demand? Like people entered bookstores brought vol.1 but found only vol.3 and not the one in between so they got the first and went home to get the 2nd volume later.

That may be it, but it's been selling good for a while and I thought they'd have announced reprints three days ago if the stock was running low.

 

[yadayada]

Both volume 1 and 2 are out of stock on some stores like amazon and honto and have been for a few days so I wouldn't be surprised if a new reprint batch with it was announced soon.

 

[Ebrietas-]

Anyone else think this new twist from Chainsawman is very similar to Undead Unluck??

Fujimoto probably thought of this a long time ago but its still funny how they both seem to have came up with very similar concepts independently

 

[tirakai]

Our Blood Oath ch 1 feels more like a Jump SQ series to me. Not that it's a bad thing since I like a lot of stuff from there, but I'm curious how it'll be received by the WSJ audience.

 

[Serinox]

Our Blood Oath was... very familiar to say. Sadly this seems for now like yet another demon fighting exorcist manga, with a little bit of a twist where the powers of the protagonists come from. Uhh... well. Hard to say how this will go.

I found myself staring at the pages, going "This feels like the 5th time I read such an opening chapter this year in Jump alone." Demons, exorcists... I know it's a meme by now to complain that there are too many of these in the mag, but really... it feels like there are too many of these in the mag.

Almost half of the jump and comedy manga has 8 in total. And are you more uncomfortable with exorcist manga?
Bokura still looks like a vampire manga, so let's see where it goes.

 

[savethecat]

NGL. Wasn’t really feeling Our Blood Oath

 

[Serinox]

Yes, lots of exorcist manga make me feel way more tired and bored than lots of comedy manga.

 

[pamuchi]

I would have preferred it started as the oneshot, this 1st chapter felt very quick like we were 5 chapters in. Well, let's see how it evolves. I do really like the chara designs and the concept.

 

[Stivie]

Yes, lots of exorcist manga make me feel way more tired and bored than lots of comedy manga.

when you have 8 comedy sleeves being public at once and even worse, because many have repeated jokes.

Besides, I don't think you're putting Ayakashi triangle in the same group of jujutsu and chainsaw man?
because they are completely different, Ayakashi is geared towards ecchi, even though the current chapter starts a fight, it’s not like he’s going to turn into a kimetsu in yaiba 2.0.

 

[pamuchi]

Hey did you see this? Its nice to see the croc interacting with Tabata after she finished.
