Waiting for it to get cancelled on ch 35 alongside the reveal of 500k in circulation and an anime announcement.
It is probably 1 million already.

Dang I really wish I enjoyed under doctor lol. I thought I was surprised by shinobi being so popular when I thought it was like perfectly fine, but shinobi looks like high art next to the stuff under doctor has pumped out.

It's decent but it's one of the few unique jump hits with really glaring flaws though.

I really like the art atleast.

Yeah Until Doctor is the real deal. The scalper argument never clicked to me. The easy answer is usually the correct one

I think that sort of reaction is partly natural, since Under Doctor itself seems very unsure of what it wants to be.

Especially after last week's chapter basically doing a whole story arc as a quick one-off, it definitely seems like it was planned to be mostly action but after how badly the battles have been received, it's been deliberately avoiding them the past few chapters.

There's clearly something people have latched onto, since its selling good numbers, but not what the author/editor thought people would like. So it's become a bit of a mess week to week as they deparately change direction and try to figure out what people actually want from it and what else they're going to do if not action.

Witch hat atelier got terrible boost unfortunately. The 2 winners are nippon sangoku and Yomi no Tsugai.

And let's be honest, the scalping news is probably helping it sell. The FOMO of "if it's good enough to scalp, it must be worth the read!" and all that. Sales often snowball that way, since a lot of people only read what's already popular.

for sure
Nippon won the spring season and tsugai is close behind
ramparts of ice is third and witch hat 4th (since witch hats volumes were always ranking, just were on the lower side).
at least this is much better than the "boost" witch watch got

It is a bit sad that Akane got no real talk or even a real boost because it is a really good story. I think it partially resides on the studio's not being able to do something meaningful since the beginning.

The official account of UD has less than 4000 followers but the tankobon has a reprint.
It's an interesting dissonance.... :cheez
People buying the manga are not those on Twitter, SNS, meaning they're probably older readers...
Males in their 40's/50's?
Some buzz on Tik tok for UD? If not then it's probably that.

With the way Under Doctor is selling and all the fanfare about reprints, there's no way the series will be stuck in the bottom 2/3 (maybe will even start rising this week), Kagurabachi also immediately started to rise in the ToC like 2 weeks after vol 1 was released in February and turned out to be successful, so i expect same with Under Doctor, it would be way too embarrassing for the editorial having the series in the bottom 2 while volume is performing this well lol

Reprint coming July 10th.


Reprints !!
There you go, "Massive Reprint" coming! Now we only need Kinato to announce it too, but since it doesn't have a author/series account i wonder if it will be officially announced :(

The number of likes, retweets and views is pretty high for these type of series accounts. it's getting numbers series like Nue don't usually get despite having 24k followers

Yeah, it means that they are truly engaged.

Somebody should write a study about manga readers' engagement types linked to effective sales, I would read it. :wtf

Since we’re more than halfway through the year, some of the 2026 predictions are pretty interesting to read!
