Shoseki/Oricon is up! Frieren's backlog is just crazy to see, but I'm sad Ponkotsu seems to be a weak link. All indications point to it wrapping up soon so I guess it won't have to limp along too much. Call of the Night and Tonikaku seem to be doing all right too.

Call of the Night?

Call of the Night?

Was ranked 42 on the week by volume. Volume 7 sold 27,422. That’s the English release name.

[Aipom626]

I know it's pretty obvious to anyone who has been reading the series, but it's truly going to be the end of an era when Amano finally wraps up. One of the first manga series I ever started reading, and despite some of the complaints some people have about it, it's a series that I have always looked forward to.

I hope his next work is something different, like a spokon

Have him do a spiritual sequel to Keijo!!!!!, with Nekoguchi art the concept would be a hit series

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

lol no please, keep Nekoguchi doing what he do best, ecchi and voluptuous girls. But well, another ending, i kinda didn't expected Amano Megumi to end now but is funny reading "entering it's final arc" as if is some battle shounen kkkk

Going to be sad seeing Amano Megumi go but it's even more knowing it will probably just never get the anime it deserved, it was one of the easiest series in the magazine to adapt in a anime but Sunday just didn't never tried, and to think Keijo did get a anime kkkk

Yikes, ZKC 61 dropped from #246 straight out of the charts... didn't expect that heavy of a drop all of a sudden, it was rather stable before.

[Bomber D Rufi]

The talkback for this week. I'd say Bilocators has a promising start though the pacing needs a bit more work. Tanabe-sensei's paneling is amazing though so I have hope he'll stick around. Otherwise switch looking as if it'll actually end and not lead into a part two is really disappointing, but I guess I shouldn't have hyped that possibility up as much as I did (for myself.)

Seems like ZKC 61 dropping out on 4/25 must've been related to some availability hiccup, seeing as it is back on the chart for 4/26.

Kenjiro Hata tweeted about Bilocators, because Kyosuke Tanabe formerly worked as an assistant for Hata, who helped with backgrounds back during the Hayate days and was helping Hata with selling books at Comiket. Hata also mentions that Fukui Sei also used to be one of his assistants.
