I'm so mad at leakers heavily sleeping on Akane Banashi to the point it's a victim of the "no LCP anymore" :(

Kagurabachi will hold a Cafe Collaboration with Bandai

Maid outfit Hiyuki has hit the timeline. Thank you, Bandai.
Surprisingly I don't follow French manga sales much myself, but 12k in 3 days sounds like a pretty good start. It's nice seeing all the effort these foreign publishers are going to with this, and how positive the response has been so far — I remember the marketing in France being particularly enthusiastic.

Sorry if I’ve been absent for a while. I have a lot going on and some personal feelings I needed to sort out. But seeing the ToC from Wednesday was something. I do feel a bit worried for Syd Craft, but I am hoping it is like the Act-Age, Chainsaw Man, and Undead Unluck of the group, mainly to hop back up the ToC even if it is in the back for a little bit. But so far the views for its first chapter vomic is consistent as in the first 6 days it had reached over 20k views, so that’s something right? Or is it a bit low compared to other series from the past?

We will need the tankoubon sales before deciding if it's another CSM case

Manga sales in France are gathered by Edistat, I checked the sales of other popular Jump titles thanks to @RoukHein on Twitter.

One Piece #108 : 33 153 (2 days)
My Hero Academia #41 : 13 101 (4 days)
Jujutsu Kaisen #23 : 13 326 (4 days)
Kagurabachi #1 : 10 601 (3 days)

Kagurabachi had a GREAT launch, the vast majority of manga can't sell this much in first week. By the way the Edistat number does include the Limited Edition, but it probably does not count specific bookstores or their digital books estimations are not really precise, so that could explain why Kana said it was 12K in 3 days.

Pretty normal month for Jump besides the very successful release of Ichi the Witch, most series were pretty much stagnant or doing a bit less:

UNDEAD UNLUCK

Undead Unluck #1 (15.232)
Undead Unluck #2 (21.958)
Undead Unluck #3 (49.432)
Undead Unluck #4 (51.364)
Undead Unluck #5 (54.630)
Undead Unluck #6 (35.917)*
Undead Unluck #7 (52.208)
Undead Unluck #8 (41.240)
Undead Unluck #9 (42.244)
Undead Unluck #10 (35.802)
Undead Unluck #11 (38.466)
Undead Unluck #12 (30.360)
Undead Unluck #13 (31.185)
Undead Unluck #14 (32.145)
Undead Unluck #15 (27.320)
Undead Unluck #16 (33.196)
Undead Unluck #17 (27.445)
Undead Unluck #18 (32.390)
Undead Unluck #19 (31.373)
Undead Unluck #20 (33.455)
Undead Unluck #21 (30.904)
Undead Unluck #22 (31.626)
Undead Unluck #23 (29.158)
Undead Unluck #24 (27.976)


UU dropped 1k, nothing big specially since the series is over already, let's see if the ending will move some extra copies with the new one.


ME & ROBOCO

Me & Roboco #1 (13.263)
Me & Roboco #2 (15.202)
Me & Roboco #3 (16.000)
Me & Roboco #4 (21.844)
Me & Roboco #5 (24.440)
Me & Roboco #6 (26.050)
Me & Roboco #7 (25.911)
Me & Roboco #8 (27.782)
Me & Roboco #9 (27.184)
Me & Roboco #10 (25.646)
Me & Roboco #11 (25.879)
Me & Roboco #12 (27.550)
Me & Roboco #13 (23.796)
Me & Roboco #14 (23.961)
Me & Roboco #15 (21.690)
Me & Roboco #16 (21.840)
Me & Roboco #17 (22.124)
Me & Roboco #18 (18.691)
Me & Roboco #19 (16.012)
Me & Roboco #20 (15.436)


Roboco had a slight drop of 500 copies, nothing expressive but is continuous downward trend for the series.


WITCH WATCH

Witch Watch #1 (36.360)
Witch Watch #2 (44.680)
Witch Watch #3 (37.541)
Witch Watch #4 (41.360)
Witch Watch #5 (42.984)
Witch Watch #6 (48.734)
Witch Watch #7 (52.624)
Witch Watch #8 (58.220)
Witch Watch #9 (60.584)
Witch Watch #10 (57.862)
Witch Watch #11 (57.285)
Witch Watch #12 (51.180)
Witch Watch #13 (47.870)
Witch Watch #14 (54.312)
Witch Watch #15 (43.260)
Witch Watch #16 (41.930)
Witch Watch #17 (44.965)
Witch Watch #18 (40.870)
Witch Watch #19 (34.484)
Witch Watch #20 (34.420)


WW did virtually the same amount of copies as the last volume but still showing a downward trend, current Yozakura volume pratically outsold this vol in just the 2nd week.


KILL BLUE

Kill Blue #1 (33.054)
Kill Blue #2 (27.230)
Kill Blue #3 (25.220)
Kill Blue #4 (25.640)
Kill Blue #5 (25.460)
Kill Blue #6 (24.372)
Kill Blue #7 (19.529)
Kill Blue #8 (18.934)


KB just like Roboco did 500 (almost 600) copies less which isn't expressive but a continuation of the decline.


HIMA-TEN!

Hima-ten! #1 (15.254)
Hima-ten! #2 (15.238)


Hima-ten pretty much stagnated, which isnt bad but isn't "good" at the same time, but like pointed a few times, a couple of successful series also didn't really grow with the 2nd volume but it did after that so we gotta wait and see how the next volumes will sell.


SHINOBI UNDERCOVER

Shinobi Undercover #1 (14.710)

First volume with a good start, it did a bit better than Yozakura vol 1, and with the new reprints it's a good sign for a possible growth with vol 2.


ICHI THE WITCH

Ichi the Witch #1 (50.572)


And Ichi with the great start, 50k in a month it's quite impressive for a start even if we're talking about a very successful veteran writer and a popular artist, even with stock problems it managed to break 50k, i wonder how will be the growth with vol 2, we might have a actual bigger success than Kagurabachi? or will do around the same? let's wait and see.

Obs: The number comes from the Oricon & Shoseki weeks from Jan 4 to Feb 2 which amounts to 50k which would come just after the 20th place on Monthly Oricon at 52k.

People saying kill Blue is dead but it sells more than Roboco & Himaten.

Shinobi Undercover is definitely a hit in the making, can easily see it exploding.

Wait did I miss something in this thread lol? From what I've gathered, Jump+ and PV views are fine, not great but better than Hakutaku and Syd Craft.

You know, it's interesting how different is the perspective for different series or publication, obviously Kill Blue has dropped in sales, fact, but when you go to the 2nd biggest shounen magazine, WSM, you have series like Gachiakuta which is a battle shounen with a anime by Bones in production, and the last vol 13 sold 17k before dropping out of Shoseki but this series is currently being hyped quite a lot on Twitter as the possible "next big action shounen" because of the anime, meanwhile Kill Blue which sells more is in general viewed as a series about to get axed at anytime soon and i even remember one member saying that KB getting a anime would a big sign of Jump decline lol

I don't know exactly what Defensor means but i can say the series isn't getting the best reactions out there in the jp Forums, it's not really negative but neither really positive too, it's like 50-50.

killblue belongs to a veteran author who already had a hit in jump (kuroko no basket), while Gachiakuta is Kei urara's first work, so it's obvious that expectations for killblue will be higher than for Gachiakuta, there's no comparison.

It's way less on this and more on visibility and magazine. People just hold WSJ to higher standards, unrealistically so as of late (the era has changed) but WSM gets way more of a pass and people don't care about their brand name as much on non Japanese social media. Influencers also love pushing action heavy series, and let's be honest Kill Blue is way less on that front than Gachiakuta which is closer to standard shonen battle fare.

There's nothing to do with being a veteran or not, its about how people in general look different at series from different publication, Weekly Shonen Magazine is full of veterans with former big hits that have new series selling less than Undead Unluck and still getting multiple anime adaptations, Ao no Miburo which doesnt sell 10k copies has a 2 cour anime being broadcast, the artist of a Silent Voice, big hit, has 3 anime seasons for To Your Eternity, which sell less than the "mid tiers" of Jump, and the list just goes on, but you will hardly see anyone online judging these series based on how they sell or comparing to the authors former big hits and in good part for what Hawke said above
