I forget what the source for this was but I've seen it enough times around to assume there's some truth to it: it's supposed to be in an alternate 1950s Japan. Of course that gets weird when you see certain anachronistic tech like old cellphones and....a game console.
The Motorola StarTAC was released in 96. Japan had flip phones at the time. Japanese cell phones were far more ahead of the time than their western counterparts. It's honestly quite fascinating.
Thank you. I just needed a day away. But at the same time, I know I won’t last long. I’m thinking about my future and if I ever do come back, I hope it will be freedom like everyone Luffy has saved.lol i knew you would be back in like a day or something @JBC008
Well, i guess, "Welcome back", is good to have you here
Do we? Where is the data/info that more people were reading Sakamoto and Blue Box at 10 volumes than Yuuna at 10 volumes? If you speak right now, well it's quite obvious Blue Box is much more popular, but within the comparison of 10 volumes, at the time digital/kindle volumes was already a thing it was just not as prominent as today, the magazine circulation itself was much bigger, and digital Shonen Jump was also already a thing before Yuuna even started, so i don't know, Blue Box was in fact very close to Yuuna since the start but Sakamoto Days took a while to even reach 100k in a month, Yuuna was definitely a bigger success for a good while.

Kill Blue didn't release a volume in October lol and the cut of the Top 20 was 89k, why you're acting like Astro #2 was expected to have sold like 90k in a month
KEEP HOLDING KIYOSHI! Ugotdis.
RIP Kiyoshi
Edited including Nov 8 since seems like Iker is off, pretty big drops for both Hima-Ten and Kiyoshi, now under Chojo, i wonder if stock are starting to go out or just regular drop.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was under-printed. Although that also depends on when that Oda rec was decided on. I highly doubt they'd have under printed if they knew Oda planned to rec it.
The recommendation is in the obi included in each copy of the manga available, so they knew it before deciding how many copies to print
I see. Damn. Guess my hopes of under printing were unwarranted. Hopefully we can get a rise with vol 2.
Not really, MamaYuyu which got recommeded by Gege Akutami got a reprint announcement 4 days after release, it sold 4.848 copies in 3 days while Kiyoshi did 4.098, so i would expect a reprint to also happen for Kiyoshi and Hima-Ten soon.
I'm gonna try to be fair to Kiyoshi and say that, since everything dropped pretty significantly on the 8th, it might be more stock issue?
Hima-Ten surviving next round is a given
Yay Nue's Volume was placed right behind Himaten, let's go baby!lol the Kinokuniya Store advertising Hima-Ten! volume in front of the Nisekoi volumes:
Astro being advertised with Tokyo Revebgers in the Kodansha section and now this, these bookstores know their stuff at least
Btw, they could have reached Naoshi for a obi recommendation...
Is that really a good thing?? Or is this some sarcasm I'm missing? Lol
