It never sold less than 10k, it sell between 10k ~ 13k monthly. Why they wouldn't give it? It does great in the magazine and series selling less than Kiyoshi get anime all the time today lol

it's WSJ and it's a battle shonen manga. Wasted slot that should have been axed 5 volumes ago.

That doesn't mean anything anymore, why it should be axed 5 volumes ago while selling over 10k and getting great survey results?

This is true. Btw, of the three gfc one shots, are any of the three authors worth to keep for any possible serialization? Still waiting to look at bachoism to make my own judgements. As well as the jump giga summer review.

Given the treatment Kiyoshi receives, he should at least have sales similar to Akane Banashe or Witch Watch. Kiyoshi receives more CP than Kagurabachi. And I really don't trust those magazine rankings, since they put Kagurabachi at the bottom.

Oh it receives more color pages than the manga from the author that can't even publish a 17p chapter anymore? What a surprise, guess what, everything gets more color pages than Kagurabachi LMAO!

 

[Nuesmoker]

Kawae's a fucking beast

Issue Cover
Lcp+Color page
Volume Cover
Anime illustration
Sunday chapter

And they all look peak (well the anime illustration is kinda derpy in points but still good lol)

Kagurabachi will have 15 chapters in a row without color pages by the Sakamoto cover. And even before it had a cover it spent 25 chapters without color pages.

There was a time when Black Clover published fewer than 17 pages and still received comp comics. And you like Black Clover.

 

[LogicoftheVI]

First, you find a manga that can sell as much as Kagurabachi and be just as popular. And then, we talk about transference.

if his health continues to suffer they'll lose him without said replacement anyway.

And there are still people who say that Kagurabachi dropped 27k copies, even though it's still selling over 100k.

At least they could give Hokazono better positions in the TOCs, instead of keeping him at the bottom.

I read the latest two oneshots.

Dog Eat Dog World was about a slum where there's a whole bunch of rumours about a really strong guy wearing a dog mask, bright red shoes, etc, to the point that a lot of fakes wear the outfit to get what they want and it's hard for people to tell which one is even real. It was pretty good but a lot of it was based around the intrigue of who the MC really is, so I'm not sure how a serialisation would work with that plot point being concluded in ch 1. This was the best of the three so far, but feels like a series that'd have a strong intro but maybe struggle to follow it up afterwards.

Banchoism was about a guy becoming the local bancho to clear up the streets and then he fights a bunch of other bancho from a bancho cooperative. It was honestly pretty bad, there was an entire story arc crammed in here making it feel like the author has no faith in it getting serialised so just told the entire story in the oneshot. Like MC actually becoming a bancho happens off-screen, then he easily beats the bancho who comes to the school, another shows up who he also easily beats, then he goes to fight the leaders of the group who he also easily beats. It very much suffers from the modern trend of making the MC instantly super powerful and OP right at the very start so that he's never able to grow and there's never any tension in the fights. I can't see this one winning.

okay? what does that have to do with me or my post?

I'm talking to those who keep making jokes about Kagurabachi's sales because of the 27k drop; if you're one of those people, I don't know.

 

[Wookitake]

I'm happy for Kiyoshi's position this week.

I’d have a much easier time believing Hima-ten will get an anime sooner, and it deserves it more than Kiyoshi, imo

Kiyoshi might get an anime in the future, but it won't be a priority; Ichi will probably get an anime before Kiyoshi, just like what happened with Kagurabachi and Nue.

wow it sells slightly higher than 10k. surely deserves a spot on the magazine and an anime. It def won't be another kill blue

 

[RealityChecker]

And just like it happened with Chojo and Kagurabachi.

 

[Newkerzy]

Yeah.

Think the order should be:

1. Hima-ten, (or something else I’m forgetting) since it ended first.
2. Ichi the Witch
3. Kiyoshi/or someone hertz?
