Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2021] - Discussion and ToC Talk

[Tanzo]

Kishimoto has his own studio company now?

Sam8's copyright just had his name and Okubo's, but the Boruto anime has his company listed in its copyright.

 

[AbrahamOmosun]

Gotouge doesn't have a company like Togashi (POT), Toriyama (Bird Studio), or Kishimoto (岸本斉史 スコット), so taxes would hit them harder.

Ahh taxes. Only 2 things in life are guaranteed:- death and taxes (and Hunter x Hunter being on hiatus is a close third)

 

[Ryuusei]

Also, I don't really know if it matters, but Magu 1 is sitting at #26,113 physical on Amazon and Roboco 1 is at #38,515–I don't know how many of the reprints go to Amazon warehouses though so this could very well be irrelevant. Magu is down to one left in stock again though sometimes Amazon just says that by mistake. The reprints must not have been too high in number in any case.

This kind of reprints they got don't go to the store's warehouses, but to the magazine's.

Maybe Jujutsu Kaisen sales drop on December (next volume comes on January).

They won't. The series has put all of its volume on top of Shoseki for the first few days of December and has another batch of reprints already scheduled for the middle of the month. If anything it might sell just as much or more than it did in November.

This explains why we had so few colour pages for next issue. Weird it didn´t leak with the ToC

This one-shot isn't getting a CP, only the first one got it.

So we can expect another 1.5-2 million copies sold for JJK in December. Adding that, volume 14 is going on on January, so expect another 1.5-2 million copies there (I'm going with the minimum here).

That would make 3-4 million + possibly 500.000 copies in post-2020 November Oricon. I'm saying Jujutsu Kaisen would be then already on 4 million copies by end of January 2021, just in 1/4 of the year. Interpolating current numbers for the entire year we can reach to 15 million at least, but we don't know how JJK sales will on Summer and Fall when the season 1 anime is over.

I'm seeing Jujutsu Kaisen with a real chance of beating One Piece in total sales in 2021, something I never saw with MHA. Of course, there are more elements to have in account (I'm expecting 2021 One Piece to be bigger in sales than 2019 and 2020 because volume 100 and chapter 1000 sheanigans). Is going to be really interesting to see.

Seems the manga is also starting to sell well in Spain (volume 4 was released here like last week or 2 weeks ago).

Actually, Jujutsu Kaisen only sold 318,043 for the last week of November. Volumes were running out of stock then and sales only started picking up on November 30th, but the week was already over and those sales will reflect on this week's chart.

My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen are top 2 most selling manga in France.

Dr. Stone is number 3 in the anime list.
lol.

 

[yadayada]

That statement about Jujutsu Kaisen and MHA only refers to titles published by Ki-oon itself, I'm pretty sure. Doesn't make much sense otherwise.

After being completely out of stock and even unavailable to buy for a few hours, Phantom Seer seems to be now restocked in Amazon. Wonder if we'll see some warehouse reprint or if it was some distribution issues, even though there's quite a good amount of tweets and comments regarding low stock available of the series.

There's quite a few series with signs of stock going quickly down such as Kaijuu 8 or even Yuuna-san, and of course Kimetsu no Yaiba.

Edit 15 minutes later: Nevermind, it's all gone again.

Seems like Shueisha really underestimated demand

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Not bad for Phantom Seer lol it’s starting to remind me of Magu-Chan’s situation from not to long ago

Yozakura too

 

[Rukasu]

Shueisha is really on another level on Kaiju no. 8' marketing. Now they made a fake newscast reporting kaiju incidents and the emergence of Kaiju no.8 (it even is "sponsored" by the Defense Corps lol)

Gotta admit. That's some great marketing.

 

[Newkerzy]

I’ll be honest, I was a little worried since they didn’t show any early signs they were going to really push the first volume, but I’m glad.

 

[Rukasu]

They also put this big advertisement in Shinjuku, really hoping for it to perform amazingly

 

[Lizard_Boots]

Visual for Gintama the Semi-Final which is apparently meant to act as a prelude to the main movie but will be released a week after the movie premieres. Don’t get how that works.

That's Gintama. If you think you've figured it out, you are wrong.
