Yozakura had a very nice growth in this 3 week, PS also sold more and UU again selling pratically the same amount:

250. Mission: Yozakura Family #8 (3,500 / 33,400) - 17 Days

It's crazy it hardly been a month and already blue box is already verified on Twitter. It seems like Shonen Jump have another hit.

It's not that amazing, even manga like Amofull, Mononofu, agravity, samon Kun and other axed series had it...

I think they're referring to the fact that the account is verified, not just the fact that it exists.

Exactly I just find it interesting even JJK twitter account not verified yet

 

[SharkBait]

verification just seems like twitter does it on a whim. Many authentic folks and things are bigger and unverified.

 

[Halloween]

Anyway, putting aside magazine health/sales and what have you, I can say that I’m enjoying the current lineup a lot.

[Newkerzy]

Hmmm, I thought Rochka would be silver/platinum blonde. But I guess it’s to avoid getting confused with Matsuri. Oh well, she’s still a cutie anyways.

Doubtly. Thats Op for you. The last time mag went on break spoilers for it came early too but everything else came as it should

OP's leaks are different because there is someone in Viz who passes the chapter to the Korean leakers.

Whether the magazine is printed or not makes no difference since they don't come from the magazine anyway, they directly have the chapter digitally.

One Piece Volume 100 cover!!!

 

[perroloco]

The background colors in the volume look gorgeous, though I kind of don't like Oda's coloring decisions for Sanji and Zoro's outfits.. Too dark imo.

Anyway hopefully Shueisha's campaigns can boost One Piece's sales a bit, I mean I would be shocked if volume 100 didn't at least sell better in its 1st and 2nd week than previous volumes, but what would really count would be its monthly sales.

 

[KagamiKuroko]

Maybe somebody will mention OP on a talk show(Ametalk) and the sales go through the roof

 

[SharkBait]

I cant imagine what its even like, in july 2021, to be convinced to start One Piece and to buy the volumes, has to be hard finding all the middle volumes sitting in some bookstore...though I guess people could buy used (but those book sales wouldn't be counted).

 

[Mammo]

they published a video on their youtube channel on the process of submitting a work to Jump


if I was that editor I'd show that girl the door, the work she's trying to submit is clearly Lovely Runners High oneshot

In the USA I have seen that people just buy the 3 in 1 volumes or box sets, which Shueisha also made in Japan (Although I don't know if those boxed sets are well stocked in Japan).
I think there is a youtube channel with One Piece free episodes, the series is available to stream in a lot of platforms in Japan and right now 90 of its 99 volumes are free digitally (like I assume not to download and keep, but to read online) for a limited time.

If I were a person who had never read/watched OP and was interested I'd try either watching it or reading it online for free before buying any volumes. And if I were Shueisha I'd perpetually let chapters 1 to 100 free online for new readers to know if they like the franchise or not.
