That was a pattern last year, in the group of newbies, the one who was put to sell first sold better.
I think it'll be a success weirdly enough, i feel like I see i tell c on jp twitter a lot in a positive light
In that case, they may have faith that the other three will sell well already, and they're hoping putting i tell c first will give it a boost.
i wonder, i feel like everyone says every one of these new series got positive sentiments on jp twitter...how many of those tweeters will actually invest in these series.
its a good batch i mean, Every one of these series have something going for it
What about Elusive and Witch?
Elusive has been incredible in J+ views, basically sped right over the majority of the current roster, and also did over 100k views on both the PV and the vomics. It's pretty clearly the safest of the batch. Witch Watch didn't have great vomic views but it's PV was over 220k. I think it's also going to be just fine but not as guaranteed as Elusive. Still in a good spot though.
i will just turn my prayer wheel and hope that its fans are just not the type to view such content
Polls haven't mattered as much as in the past since last decade. Series like World Trigger were consistently placed in the middle or lower ranks when even former editors came out and said it was placing first in the surveys numerous times but the chief editor would always push it back. The renaissance of public Jump campaigns to push certain series every year has just made editor meddling more certain (although the push campaigns started when Nak became the head honcho). Editor favoritism was already in the works right beforehand back when it was widely noted Hinomaru Zumou was a department beloved even when sales never grew.
but PS is literally bottom or last, you're telling me Nak hates it THAT much??
He could, but we don't know. It's clear by the last few years that his beloved series have been Dr. Stone and Samurai 8 at least. Getting the most pushes even when unwarranted. I'm probably in the minority, but I actually think Dr. Stone sales are pitiful considering the amount of cover pages, color spreads, tv commercials, merch, promotional material and attention it has been given over the years.
Agreed. Just looking at online reception, it is the clear survival favorite even if the west has been down on it. The early JP reception eerily resembles the early plaudits series like JJK and Undead had in their first ten chapters.
i think the conspiracy theory that Nak is secretly sabotaging PS should stop. I don't have a solid explanation as to why its consistently in the back, and why it isn't receiving color pages. But i highly doubt they they're purpose sabotaging a series that could be a success just for the hell of it.
The time Jujutsu Kaisen still at the bottom while it's popular before anime?
Where did I say Nak was sabotaging Phantom? Don't put words in my mouth please.
Just wondering but do series always get color pages for every reprint? Maybe people are under a misperception that reprints always mean a color page.
Not always, no, or at least I don't think so. Specially not for every reprint. My point wasn't meant to be "it should get a CP for each of these reasons", more in the vein of "it should get at least one, for any of these reasons".
