Ah damn, not a great start for Alice. Shame, while the art is very rough I've really been enjoying the series.
Life-Man seems like it's at an okay position. Hope it can continue to grow. It's such a funny series.

 

[nemu asahi]

What surprises me is Life Man. It has a real big fanbase from the start and was scouted by the henshuubu while it didn't win the serialization contest.
Maybe because its readers buy digital...

I think the author of War of the adults said that few people bought the manga while the series has the best PVs of all the plateform. It means that people want to read it, want to know what is coming after, but just for free and don't want to buy it as tankobon. A lot are buying it digitally I'm sure, but it's really weird for somebody who has 50k followers....

Followers don't automatically translate to buyers, sure, but what's the origin of the "problem" in these cases? .......

Ichi and Kagura fans are buying tankobon, those fans are not. If tankobon are just 20% of buying, then we can say that less readers are buying even digital? The proportion of tankobon/digital is different by series, but it's like 50/50 at best?

I love anaylizing things, but we lack variables to understand the whole thing....

 

[tirakai]

I'd imagine Jump+ series skew very heavily towards digital sales compared to WSJ, since they're digital series anyway. It's more convenient.

 

[nemu asahi]

Maybe...

I think those quirky types of manga always attract some people. I stopped reading it/never truly started, it was not my type.

But I really really like War of the Adults. I could even envision it as a live action series, not only an anime. It could totally work. I hope it keeps going

Maybe is just because people want to know what comes next but don't really feel the need to reread it afterwards? Though that's something I would expect more from mystery series...

That one would work great as a live action series, yeah. Lots of action but nothing you'd need CGI for.

 

[nemu asahi]

Yep, maybe... Thanks to all people who took the time to answer (and will from now, maybe). m(_ _)m

I'm just wondering because there is not a lot of difference (I might be wrong) between the PVs of WarofA and SankyuuP, but I see the difference in the number of likes/RTs new chapters/announcements get. It's like 200~300 for War for a usual post and 2k~3k for Sankyuu and Sankyuu sells (apparently) way better. So, the engagement of people seems completely different.

This difference is interesting for me. I'd like to know from where it comes. (I just have weird interests )

 

[NeeNeen]

I did not see that Night Light Hounds ending coming.

It's a shame, it was pretty good. A bit slow maybe.

 

[tirakai]

I imagine it's just because they directly translated the Japanese, but it's weird Manga+ advertising Subaru the Invincible as being from the Macho Gourmet/Muscle Island creator and not Abyss Rage. Even if it's older it's the only series of his they actually translated (and which I think is his most successful?).

Yeah, the only flaw was the pace, but it was still really good.

 

[WyldViolet]

Idk, I loved Night Light Hounds at first, but around when Dorthea was introduced things just started feeling so convoluted and messy for me. I'd still love to see the mangaka come back though. He has such great artwork and character design.

Yeah, I agree that it had this setbacks too. The schedule did not help as well.

 

[nemu asahi]

Jump+ is allowing generative AI in their indies manga, after having clearly said that they don't condone it and disqualified an AI generated manga from the same indies contest.

 

[KrenKren]

First episode of Marriagetoxin was really cute and kind of surprised me with the production value, honestly. I need to pick up the manga again sometime

 

[Lost Being]

If you're considering stuff on M+/J+ to read I can definitely recommend Kurumizawa's Folly. Lovely art, really interesting plot/mystery and good characters + drama, imo. It's pretty fast-paced because I believe it's intended to be a shorter serialization but that kinda serves it well, tons of 1-2 punches that hit pretty strongly without feeling majorly out of nowhere. Just super engaging overall, definitely my favorite of the bi-weekly updaters. The mangaka is/was behind Daddy and Buddy, if you might've read that and were fond of it.

Yeah, I'm reading it too. Some very deranged characters. Good story.

 

[tirakai]

Looks like the Hitoner oneshot by Yagi got serialised, that's nice to see.

Iron Knight and Red Sprite were both such quick cancellations that he was barely even able to introduce them before having to start ending, I hope this one at least does decently so he can finally get the opportunity to tell an actual story for a while.
