Feels like Under Doctor is definitely having some momentum, the difference of likes between both Under Doctor & Kinato's Magic 1st chapter tweet from WSJ acc is crazy, is 1.2k vs 200 likes LOL

Edit: Now is 1.5k vs 219, UD added 300 likes while Kinato added 19, that's crazy :eek:

the magic of getting retweeted by MHA acc

As someone who's been pessimistic about UD's survival, this is crazy. It's ranking higher than Nue with a popularity poll going on.

Nue makes most of its sales through digital.

But the physical sales averages 20k. So UD is in good hand if it stays above Nue for the whole week.

Both Under Doctor and Kinato are surviving lmao, it's a repeat of MamaYuyu and Kagurabachi. Like, why was Saito making everyone think Under Doctor was scraping by and Kinato was some massive flop?

Hope it doesnt drop off a cliff on the 5th.
If it stays consistent, maybe even 20k is doable.

If Under Doctor actually ends up selling 20k its first week, and Saito keeps giving it color pages yet putting it at the bottom of the magazine he's a truly dumb EiC. Why hide a series that you know is successful enough to keep promoting it with color pages, yet hiding it at the back of the mag? If Under Doctor does end up with high sales, and is still at the bottom next week, then wtf is Saito doing?
So tired of this clown. Series might be selling even higher if they'd put it front and center.

Please Saito-san, ignore the late delivery of Tanimoto-sensei! 🙏

And Kinato too. The fact that it hasn't even gotten a color page? Clearly, they had some inclination these series would sell at least decent, but these are better than decent sales given how the rest of the series from the last few years have sold.
Like, Under Doctor has gotten several color pages, yet they place it at the back of the mag.
Kinato is placed even lower than Under Doctor yet and hasn't even gotten a color page.
These are both probably gonna be selling better than Kiyoshi does CURRENTLY in their first week. If only Haiji and Kinato had red hair...

I can't think of any other valid reason at this point.

Haiji Kino is going to replace Shinobi on the the Pillar placement in group covers.

Next step for Tanimoto is to open a personal twitter account and post his art every week like Hori does.
He doesn't seem to have any problem with weekly serialisation judging on the lack of complaints.

If Saito has the humility to admit he was wrong, I'd be surprised.
Strikes me as an egotistical loser with the editorial strategy of a 10 year old.

I'll let other people slander Saito for now because I want to point something else out.

For all the people that acted like Gonron Egg was this complete shitshow with nothing redeemable or likeable about it, and that it was unthinkable that someone could find it more enjoyable than Mage Next Door...Gonron outsold Mage Next Door day 1 so it can't be that outlandish a thought.

Tbh, I've personally always held that while Gonron Egg was a bit of a trainwreck, it had some interesting world building and cool demon designs. I don't like the term, but same may refer to such a thing as "so bad it's good".
Meanwhile, Mage Next Door was just beyond bland and forgettable. I can see a reason for people to want to purchase Gonron. I can't see any for Mage Next Door.
Mage Next Door, wasn't inherently terrible, but it wasn't good either. Bland characters, nonsensensical & uninteresting power system, okay but generic world building. It was a real nothingburger of a series.
It's Like I always say "rather be weird than boring"
