I haven't seen all these anime but some of them were pretty good in quality (for those I watched). It's always misterious how watchers will turn into readers...

Precious data, thks.

Thanks. In your opinion, problem of structure, narration, or characters?
--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

From what I gather from Japanese readers, they deem it having no originality (knock off of JJK in the structure/characters).

Aside from exorcist story is not particularly my thing. I find modern technology and old school exorcism just don't mix. don't think it's about character because from what I see it's still has decent cast.

Unlike Tricks Dedicated To Witches though. I still can't fathom how it was axed. Literally hit material with extremely strong start and unique atmosphere.

How Anime Adaptations Affect Manga Sales

Or more specifically how anime adaptations affected the sales for the recent Shonen Magazine / Magazine Pocket manga.

First, the series that got a huge boost in sales following the anime adaptation:




Next, the ones that got a decent boost in sales:




These series had significant drops in sales before anime adaptations, but still got a decent boost following anime adaptation. This is a relatively rare situation.



The following ones didn't get substantial or lasting boosts in sales:




















Note: For various reasons, I didn't include some titles; like "Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest", "Ahiru no Sora" and a few from Magazine Pocket. Mostly, because there is not enough data for proper display.

5 out of 6 huge/decent boost are from 2017-2018. Quite a mark of a new era

Dude, you're a legend for this, thanks. Shangri-la Frontier not getting a boost is the weirdest thing to me, you'd think with how popular the source was, iot would get something, especially since the adaptation seemed to be good.

November Volumes Shoseki Debut
1. Shangri-La Frontier 20
4. Seitokai ni mo Ana wa Aru! 8
6. Four Knights of the Apocalypse 19
7. A Couple of Cuckoos 25
19. Tune in to the Midnight Heart 6
20. Kaijin Fugeki 2
22. Kanan-sama wa Akumade Choroi 8
43. Akabane Honeko’s Bodyguards 11
44. Yumene Connect 1
46. The Blue Wolves of Mibu -Shinsengumi Saga- 2
47. To Your Eternity 23
111. Katana Beast 5
351. Love Forty 2
n/a. Bacchiri Scratch 1

Decent start for Yumene, not amazing, but survivable. Love Forty gets nothing despite the Blue Lock author's recommendation, and Bacchiri Scratch might just be the worst start to a magazine series I've ever seen, I think everything else charted on the first day at least. As for the established series, Kaijin doesn't seem to be growing despite the volume 1 backlog, and everything else seems stable except To Your Eternity, which is dropping again.

Shangri-La Frontier not getting a boost has been weirdest thing to me for the longest time, excellent manga and as stellar of an anime adaptation you can realistically ask for. The anime staff are having fun with the series and putting in care into it, love the mini's at the end of the episode (this week's was amusing) and having Tanaka SB/ED episode 18 earlier this year was such a nice treat.

At this point, I'm happy the sales are consistent and still getting reprints/circulation increases/backlogs, even if I feel it deserves way more. I'm confident the series will get a full adaptation regardless but do wonder how the anime itself performs.

Well, to be honest, most of the latest anime in the magazine gave practically zero boost for the mangas

To be fair it has 10 million circulation out of 18 volumes. That is already quite high in my opinion. I guess it did quite good at digital department rather than just physical book.
