Yes. Comparing Kimetsu's anime, where it's movie became the highest grossing japanese movie of all time WW, to other franchises is totally logical.

Nothings to say they wont do another movie to complete that series, so youre not bringing peace to my worries.

They will do more movies. It's what got them so much money. It would be outright bizarre if they didn't capitalize on the money that will come from movies. But movies can only fit so much of the story. So they will have to do regular seasons as well.

Jump action series by setting:

Not real, fantasy setting: One Piece, Dragon Ball, Naruto, HunterxHunter, Cobra, Shaman King, Dragon Quest Daiboken, Black Clover, BASTARD, Hoshin Engi, The Promised Neverland, Toriko
Real setting, urban landscape (Tokyo mainly, can be another city): Bleach, Kinnikuman (surprisingly), JoJo Parts 3-5 (Part 3 has no urban landscape though), Yu Yu Hakusho, City Hunter, Yu-gi-oh, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia, Saint Seiya (Saint Seiya has almost very little action in urban settings though), Death Note, Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Real setting, different period: Kimetsu no Yaiba (Taisho Period), Kenshin (Meiji Period), Gintama (Edo period but with current period stuff), D.Gray-man (Victorian England), JoJo Parts 1-2 (Victorian England, WWII USA), Fist of North Star (post-apocalyptic setting)

The majority of Jump titles are in a fantasy setting. Regarding titles with real setting AND where action happens in cities we have Bleach (until a certain point, the 3 major arcs of Bleach happen in a fantasy setting though), Yu Yu Hakusho, City Hunter, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia and Hitman Reborn.

Is no wonder Jujutsu Kaisen drinks mainly from Bleach and Yu Yu Hakusho, the two big titles where the MC is a guy living in current Japan. I'd even say Jujutsu Kaisen is the Jump series with the strongest urban geography ever. All the details in Tokyo are really neat. In second place of Jump titles with a very strong real-world geography notion I'm now doubtful between City Hunter and My Hero Academia (MHA is also strong in that regard).

My Hero is fantasy setting though

My Hero is fantasy setting though

Superpowers and fantasy setting isn't the same. The story happens in Japan. We have seen Deku getting the express train to travel, we have seen Hawks in Fukuoka.

 

[Archaon]

My Hero is fantasy setting though

My Hero is the same as most comic book, despite the super power part, it still grounded in relatively familiar reality. It would be like calling Batman and Marvel fantasy.

I think Shaman King is real setting, actually...

 

[Mammo]

Superpowers and fantasy setting isn't the same. The story happens in Japan. We have seen Deku getting the express train to travel, we have seen Hawks in Fukuoka.

there are also imaginary locations like Tatarous Island and I Island (aka America)
same with YuGiOh where they go to Duelist Kingdom and Domino city

MHA has made up locations. The world is loosely based on the real one. Also its like more sifi really

 

[SharkBait]

MHA is Urban Fantasy

 

[101nemesis]

Hero Academia is fantasy setting. Just because it's loosely based on the real world, doesn't make it any less of a fantasy setting. It's urban fantasy or something.

 

[Newkerzy]

Spine Update.

“Even if I die, I’ll never/hate to lose!”

Guess this means BC is more popular here after all. I can kind of see why.

 

[Wookitake]

Nice, even a Portuguese one! Cool.

 

[galaxy-juice]

I think by "fantasy" he meant "high fantasy", of which My Hero Academia certainly is not.

I wonder if Sakamoto Days count as urban fantasy or not, though.

[Blink22]

Phantom Seer Volume 2 has received immediate reprints.

Been busy as of late and just saw. This news delights me. Nak can keep trying to kick us down but we stay winning Phantom bros.

Kentaro Fukuda's one-shot: https://mangadex.org/chapter/1230222/1

This definitely feels like something that I could picture them writing lol. It feel like they were originally working on a normal, longer oneshot but then was suddenly told that something was needed urgently and their oneshot was it. The ending was pretty brutal, but what needed to be done was done. It reminded me a tiny bit of the oneshot that the Sakamoto Days author had.

 

[tirakai]

Kentaro Fukuda's one-shot: https://mangadex.org/chapter/1230222/1

That's a really good and creative oneshot, feels very Junji Ito-esque.

Not something that could ever work as a series of course, but I guess that's why it's an emergency replacement rather than a regular oneshot being ran.

 

[Thehoennhippo]

Fukuda's mind is a weird place huh. Hope he gets another shot at a series someday or at least a more properly lengthed one shot.
