I mean, that one mangaka might be the author of Agravity Boys, which is supposedly ending that same issue, so their message is probably a thank you message to the readers who supported them up until now, so... I don't think Oda will have a problem with that, to say the least ^^
on the flip side though has an author ever not given some kind of "goodbye" when their series ends? Maybe it's a requirement or something, although weird he didn't say something like "I'm honoured to have been in the same magazine as Oda-sensei! Congrats on 1000 chapters and I hope you're still going strong when I return!"I know the author can do whatever he wants and have the right to not say anything about One Piece reaching it's 1000th chapter, but I find it disrespectful that one person decided to not comment on One Piece's milestone. Oda always congratulate other Mangakas even the smaller ones and is trying to help everyone have more exposure.
Everyone has their own lives and their own business, if he didn't comment on it, that just means whatever he said was more important to him than one piece reaching 1000 chapters. Also pretty sure Oda doesn't always congratulate everyone.I know the author can do whatever he wants and have the right to not say anything about One Piece reaching it's 1000th chapter, but I find it disrespectful that one person decided to not comment on One Piece's milestone.

that's an interesting point
That’s.....actually a pretty good point. I think this applies to sci-fi as well? I’m probably wrong, but the most successful ones have a non-weekly schedule, if I recall.
I believe you. It can't be coincidence that so many other demon fighting manga are suddenly reviving.With this many backlogs I am incline to believe it's the trickle down kimetsu effect, more people checking out other manga.
Even if it's not, let me believe
Jujutsu has an anime running
The series that are increasing (I'm assuming you're talking about the 3 with backlogs above) were all popular/increasing before Kimetsu mania started and 2 of them have currently airing adaptations. If there was, say a demon slaying series that was declining before that is now increasing without any clear reason why would have been clearer evidence. Really hard to know if Kimetsu did (or didn't have) any positive effect on other series in the genre without a survey
What do you mean, nothing remotely similar? They are all series about humans trying to survive & fight back in a world threatened by demons. Sure, there are individual differences in story and tone, but they are still firmly the same genre.
Haikyuu also had a backlog boost after ending. Kingdom with the live action movie also sold enough backlog to surpass OP in 2020.
I'm wondering that myself. That's why I was asking about Haikyu and WNL (but I guess Haikyu isn't a good comparison since it didn't have any big announcements lately).
If Kimetsu readers are going to read something afterwards, they will probably going for something new and popular, which Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw man fall under. So it is more likely that those 2 will get a boost since there are the "in thing now" and will benefit more from a crowd who are still new to the medium than Kimetsu readers going out of their way to find demon/exorcist series.
Yeah, right now they could easily end up with other exorcist series even without looking for them. But I'm curious to see if, say, Spy x Family or WNL gets an anime announcement, would they jump on that too or would it be too different?
