Color pages will be Blue Box, Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi and a one shot (that i think) is called "The Stranger" by Kumori Harada:



Apparently is a cold blooded agent/hitman one shot!
So, who is this Kumori Harada fellow?
Do you have any raws of their GIGA one-shots, Phantom? If at all...

Really not the "best" month for Shonen Jump, basically everything either just kept very flat or actually dropped compared to last volumes:

Roboco had it's worst monthly volume performance since volume 1! Not that it's in any danger anyway...

ME & ROBOCO

Me & Roboco #1 (13.263)
Me & Roboco #2 (15.202)
Me & Roboco #3 (16.000)

Good to see Kill Blue selling virtually the same amount as last volume, if anything the fans have been pretty loyal since it ended :^_^

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)
Kill Blue #9 (15.388)
Kill Blue #10 (14.850)
Kill Blue #11 (13.850)
Kill Blue #12 (13.762)



Also good to see Nue doing virtually the same amount as last volume, so no actual drop in the monthly:

NUE'S EXORCIST

Nue's Exorcist #1 (25.080)
Nue's Exorcist #2 (26.679)
Nue's Exorcist #3 (29.885)
Nue's Exorcist #4 (29.948)
Nue's Exorcist #5 (29.738)
Nue's Exorcist #6 (28.516)
Nue's Exorcist #7 (30.190)
Nue's Exorcist #8 (24.668)
Nue's Exorcist #9 (23.022)
Nue's Exorcist #10 (24.770)
Nue's Exorcist #11 (22.919)
Nue's Exorcist #12 (22.866)



Kiyoshi as always doing its 12k copies in the month, if you want you can say is doing a few hundreds "less" but at this point is kinda impressive how the sales stay in that very consistent 12k line:

ULTIMATE EXORCIST KIYOSHI

Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi #1 (12.774)
Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi #2 (11.880)
Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi #3 (12.845)
Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi #4 (13.192)
Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi #5 (12.750)
Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi #6 (12.325)



Hima had a near 2k drop, isn't really much but it's a drop, it goes back to vol 1 & 2 level:

HIMA-TEN!

Hima-Ten! #1 (15.254)
Hima-Ten! #2 (15.238)
Hima-Ten! #3 (14.922)
Hima-Ten! #4 (19.113)
Hima-Ten! #5 (17.309)
Hima-Ten! #6 (15.450)



The surprise of the group, Shinobi Undercover had a drop of 3k which puts this vol as the lowest selling volume of the series since vol 1, which is kinda crazy seeing how hard Jump is going with the promotion:

SHINOBI UNDERCOVER

Shinobi Undercover #1 (14.710)
Shinobi Undercover #2 (17.183)
Shinobi Undercover #3 (18.098)
Shinobi Undercover #4 (20.301)
Shinobi Undercover #5 (17.008)

I wonder if so many volumes dropping at the same time had some effect, like let's say you're a fan of all the series listed here. I know manga is pretty cheap but I imagine one is not going to buy all of them like maybe one or two.

314. Harukaze Mound #1 (6,339)
Also Harukaze's estimate was at 5.1k at week two, which I think goes to show how well it's holding power was throughout the month. I know I've said what I said about Amazon, but so far volume 2 is performing better on Amazon than compared to volume 1 so I still feel pretty optimistic that it will grow with volume 2. Like even if it gets axed I actually think it would give volume 2 even more of a boost in that regard.

05. Ichi the Witch (59,452)
10. One Piece (40,246)

--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

And Ichi is growing, it actually outsold Blue Exorcist, might not be growing as fast as Kagurabachi but the important is to not decline:

Ichi the Witch #3 (48,486) - 5 Days
Ichi the Witch #4 (46,316) - 7 Days
Ichi the Witch #5 (31,783) - 3 Days
Ichi the Witch #6 (48,402) - 4 Days


And yay, Kill Blue actually sold more on Oricon than on Shoseki! The final volume is doing better than the former ones, at least in the 1st week :beer

Kill Blue #11 (8,170) - 4 Days
Kill Blue #12 (9,143) - 6 Days
Kill Blue #13 (8,679) - 4 Days


And you know what? F@ck it, i will say again, Kill Blue shouldn't have been rushed to end, the anime announcement alone would have kept the sales stable and the series could have naturally go until the broadcast ends, what a dumb decision Saito...

How would this be a hot take? Some people only justify it because they dislike the manga, but it's objectively an insanely stupid decision. lol Even if it was "declining" as argued, it could just naturally end with the anime and would still be selling better than most of the newbies.

Psyren anime's been rumoured for a while, it's good to see the official announcement. Hoping for an initial 2 cour going halfway through rather than a basic 12 eps.

I'm surprised to see Gonron not in the bottom 5 on its first ranking, though I expect it to drop there next issue and hit the bottom 3 on the second double issue. The big question is if it'll drop below Otr and Harukaze, or if Jump will keep it above those so it doesn't seem like Otr will survive.

Mr. Fullswing should realistically get one since the series and fanbase still pretty active with the author posting regular short comics on Twitter and it gets thousands of likes

Toriko remake, a man can dream...

He participated in the GIGA issue celebrating Black Clover 10th anniversary, @Phantom RPG has the one shot, he will post to you when he's online 👍

Psyren is trending right now on Twitter despite the anime hasn't been officially announced:




The thing is that the official website is already up with a countdown to 3 days so even the Japanese fans are getting exposed before the official announcement:
