What appears to be the Saikyo Jump poster and Stickers for Sakamoto

 

[KiMiTo]

Jump #47:

Great:
Blue Box - Cuteness overload! She is taking such a great take care of him!
Dr. Stone - Oh, that double page explosion was so-so littt! Hands down to Boichi! Great chapter depicting the trial and error reality. And we got a several years of timeskip too.
Sakamoto Days - The recovery granny is so cool. So Sakamoto is about 1/3 of his prime power now, but keeps on trashing the bad guys so hard? I feel sorry for the guy who's gonna mess with Sakamoto's wife.

Good:
Jujutsu Kaisen - The paneling was great. Good build-up for the battles of our boys.
One Piece - Killer time! Good stuffs.
Neru - Yup, as I predicted, the chapter is lit. Very good battle so far.
Witch Watch - This chapter was such a fun ride and next weeks chapter is set to be a really interesting and a fun one. It will go well with the CP.
The Elusive Samurai - That demon inside Takauji... Great artwork! And it seems that a big war is coming.

Fine:
PPPPPP - It's nice to see the mc getting more confident. He can sure help the new girl.
Red Hood - Definitely an interesting turn of events. This concept has such a potential that is wasted, unfortunately.

Undead and Yozakura selling are lower?

 

[Stivie]

Undead and Yozakura selling are lower?

Yes, even because Yozakura has 10 volumes and UU has 8 volumes.

 

[lgrmjauffre]

It would seem the paper shortage is finally hitting Japan pretty hard. A lot of manga series in general are down lower than they should be.

It's obviously Kimetsu's fault.

 

[Cerclox]

My bet for issue #49 is Elusive Samurai

 

[Manjiknights]

Paper shortages aren’t affecting the massive growth of Blue Box. Everything else is just having a shitty month, being down or completely stagnant. Only other growth we’ve seen the entire month is like +3k for Roboco and then it not making a week 3. Yippee.

 

[Neala897]

Paper shortages aren’t affecting the massive growth of Blue Box.

And thats depends on how much they printed BB

 

[KagamiKuroko]

JJK is down

MHA 32 was basically same as volume 31

BC has done ~150k in 3 weeks but each volume has been decreasing for a while now

Dandadan and BB have both grown from vol 1

Yoza had its typical minimal growth

UU is stagnant/sliding like it had been for a couple volumes

Ayakashi has the most loyal 65k fans ever

I dunno if paper shortage is an issue, only jjk sales are alarming and we can chalk that up to the hiatus/breaks and maybe people not liking the recent arc plus its peak sales are super difficult to maintain

Alarming ?

Regarding the sales of Jujutsu, in my opinion many people were 100% sure that it had to be a new Kimetsu, and instead it turned out to be a "minor" phenomenon compared to him.

Jujutsu is for now a phenomenon (just think that it sells twice as much as Hero) but not yet at the level of Kimetsu and it probably never will be.

Its not that, its just that a drop of 150k with 4 more days raises eyebrows but imo it won't matter once the movie comes out cause i think that will push the series up to 2.5-3 mil per volume

Definitely not. JJK hit a pretty hard ceiling and seems to be declining to a more stable position right now (as opposed to KNY, which kept growing until the movie came out, and then grew some more). An increase of more than 1M is extremely unlikely at this point. I don't see it ever rising significantly above 2M.

JJK is already one of the best-selling WSJ series in history. Anything more than its already done is just icing on the cake.

 

[susanoo13]

I also believe JJK has hit it's ceiling at 2.25M per volume and will not climb above it. The movie might cause a small backlog but not more than a total of 2 million for all volumes. We might get an announcement of 60M total print after a few weeks of the movie but (hope I'm wrong) not more. Once season 2 starts it might reach a new plateau.

 

[KagamiKuroko]

I don't believe JJK has hit its ceiling, we just saw MHA's movie help it hit a new high in first month sales and that wasn't even a canon movie, maybe 3 mil is a bit too much but 2.5 seems very possible imo

My Hero Academia 30 (April) - 572,698
My Hero Academia 31 (August) - 634,347

Jujutsu Kaisen 16 (June) - 1,723,538

The "new high" for MHA was an increase of 70K, not 700K.

That said, JJK had a circulation of 55M for 17 volumes (here), so it already has an average of 3M per volume in circulation, which is simply astounding. But for the first month? That's a little unrealistic. Never forget that KNY is not the norm.

My bet for issue #49 is Elusive Samurai

my bet is either Ayakashi Triangle or Witch watch

 

[Minsel]

My bet is new series
