[Shinuki no Reborn]

I knew that Honto was off with Black Clover under Mashle but i didn't expected both Kochikame and Blue Box doing this good on Shoseki, it still weird seeing UU above Ayakashi, either UU had some unnexpected boost or Ayakashi some sudden decline. Yozakura seems normal but interesting that is only position under Worlds End Harem #13, curious to see if is a nice increase or just WEH declining a lot. Rest seems all normal.

WEH is basically in its sequel now after taking that break. The sequel doesn’t seem as good as the first 12 volumes if we’re being honest. But I’d say it’s a bit of both (growth for Yoza and decline for WEH)

I’m surprised Blue Box beating Mashle

I’m surprised Blue Box beating Mashle

Hardly. BB has been riding on the momentum it’s created since the one-shot last year and Mashle is nearing the endgame according to the author. If anything, BB is going to be Jump’s definitive romance manga for this decade. If not THE romance manga of the decade.

Jump #44:

Great:
Sakamoto Days - Let's gooo! That was so satisfying! Epic action and art!
Jujutsu Kaisen - Lit art Megumi is not playing around when his sister is involved.
Blue Box - I would like more focus on the matches... Those sudden cuts are not definitely bad, but it'll be so much better with the suspense that the matches bring. Poor Taiki tho. Hope that Chinatsu will cheer him up.
One Piece - Tough fights on all fronts. Somewhat build-up chapter for the next ones.

Good:
Neru - So sad that the axe seems inevitable. This series is very enjoyable and deserves better. The two-on-two match looks very promising.
The Elusive Samurai - Oh, that is an interesting development. Next chapter is going to be an intense verbal battle.
Witch Watch - We are continuing with the gag chapters. It was yet another hilarious one.

Fine:
PPPPPP - Nice 3rd chapter. So that is how he'll improve his skills. It'll be interesting to see his interaction with one of his brothers.
Red Hood - The pacing is so slow... Like it'll not be axed.

The way it's selling blue box is capable of not needing to wait to complete 100 chapters to win an anime. Just like what happened with shoben magazine

..... Still growth, wooooooooooooooot~

 

[Pietro]

Magu chan has ranked way higher than usual... so happy

 

[Ctkk]

Sure feels like the entire magazine is releasing this month

 

[Discomusic]

I am also happy in a corner because the last volume of Dolphin isn't performing as bad as I thought it would.

 

[Stivie]

I think TES and BB could win anime before completing 100 chapters as their sales are excellent. Shows which sales matter.

 

[KagamiKuroko]

Kochikame ahead of Mashle, Dandadan and Blue Box, how?

 

[Serinox]

Kochikame ahead of Mashle, Dandadan and Blue Box, how?

Kochikame is a cultural icon in Japan.

 

[ScotchAianB]

One Piece is on Break in Issue #46, resume in issue #47.

 

[galaxy-juice]

We don't really know how UU or BB are going to hold. I feel like it's a little premature to make declarations on who is beating who based on only the first day.

Kochikame ahead of Mashle, Dandadan and Blue Box, how?

Kochikame did drop off to ~50K copies per volume by the end of its life cycle. But what people forget is that the final 200th volume sold 130K alone and over 500K when you include the special edition.

Kochikame dropped off but it never lost popularity. If you release a special 201st volume people are obviously going to buy it.

Magu chan has ranked way higher than usual... so happy

Be careful not to get your hopes up too much. This is more or less normal for a first day. Unfortunately, it does not look like Magu has experienced any significant growth.

Blue Box should hold it's own just fine considering that Vol 1 has never left the Shoeski 500 in the 2 months it's been out.

The final volume did 10x more than the previous ones had did, thats insane!

I can't imagine what the final OP volume will do

UU won't hold its own obviously. But it seems its first day sales are rising bit by bit with each new volume and that's nice. BB might be able to hold though, seems real popular.

 

[Manjiknights]

The only reason first day is better for some volumes this month is the Tokyo Revengers backlog is dying. This is especially obvious with something like Magu which was under TR backlog day 1 last volume and above it this volume despite probably selling the exact same. I don’t think UU, Yozakura, AT or Roboco are going to grow that significantly with this volume either unless they all hold really really well.
