I wonder when we will get a new one piece circulation update
The last update was on August 2022 at 516 million copies I think
So it's been 3 years and 4 months with no update

I've also been seeing a lot more fanart for it than I expected. I think they've got a proper hit in their hands, to the point that I think volume 1's sales numbers might actually be impacted by the lack of stock.

More rankings

Elusive near bottom with all the axe bait is just sad.

Also, justice for my girl Akane!!! She doesn't deserve to be that low!!!

Uruha being no 1 is so well deserved. That is legit the best JF2025 drawing!! It is just so beautiful, well composed and atmospheric. So breathtaking.

I don’t mind it. I think it’s cool. Although my biggest concern is mainly with the budget to keep that consistency. I would have gone full puppet mode like Jim Henson quality and save the CG money for the transformation moments and other aspects so it doesn’t balloon.

According to Ryo in the advertisement page for the January volume releases Someone Hertz volume cover is getting the best treatment with huge response and very big at the top!

They're really going for it, hopefully it meets the expectation, is currently doing pretty well on Amazon at least.
I guess Ryo was talking about this:

Not gonna lie, i was expecting more for this one shot, the cp colors is great but the art in general definitely needs more work, and the content itself, in the end it feels like just turned out to be another "Demon of the week" type of manga but with hitman, why with newbies everything has to be about killing demons? lol

25k lock for hertz, i guess. Vol2 is going to be a better gauge for the series average.

Saito's first organic hit with no veteran bs.

Same, I was a big advocate for Muppet Chopper for a long time.
As the design currently stands, I don't think it's bad since Chopper wasn't always the cutesy critter mascot that Oda made him into, but he was originally viewed as a bit of a freak of nature that is also a bit on the cute side when he first appeared, which is something that I think the CG model catches quite well.

Soul Catcher(S) was though.

4K likes in 4 hours, the fanbase still pretty much alive, and after Psyren i can totally see Soul Catcher(S) getting a anime too, a 24 eps season can adapt it perfectly well, it's 90ch long

Voted for Soul Catcher(S) :super

Yooo thanks for the preview, btw, Nue is in the preview page but only with extended pages and the text is a bit weird because it mentions love accelerating at a "resort", weird lol but the other text does mention "A modern onmyoji manga featuring heroines who are super cute!!"

Btw, very standard set of color pages, Akane, Roboco & Ichi, can't get more safe picks than that...
