I really need the source for that. I've understood digital sales are still a small part compared to physical sales.

That's the inherent issue with any "best story" plot. The writer couldn't really show to the readers the best story ever, so they avoid delving into that story. I remember how I expected Ghost Writer to enter in the story the characters were creating, but that topic was totally avoiding...

Welcome back, Shinuki no Reborn. Interesting, my opinion is the opposite. The first chapter doesn't seem so good for me (the most interesting was the end). I feel the story really start to be interesting since the second chapter. As you said, we will need to wait and see.

I really doubt it's the author's popularity. Author's popularity doesn't prevent other manga to start low in the ranking. Not to mention that I don't think the author is so popular in Japan. The story is just pretty interesting. Characters are likeable and convey their emotions to the reader in...

It's unlikely they would skip the chapters if they bought the magazine. I mean, even if they have no interest in the story, they've already paid for the whole magazine. So it's unlikely that they will just ignore the pages with that story (it would have to be a story that they find very...

I don't know a lot about that situation of Go Nagai. Was the manga being axed in WSJ the only consequence? Shueisha has the power to axe any of the manga published in its magazines. So, if the only thing they could make to Go Nagai for publishing his story in another editorial was to axe his...

I think all Jump authors could continue their series in other editorial. They just can't publish the chapters they published in WSJ (the authors or the new editorial need to buy the rights for that).

Yeah. I suspect J+ model could be pretty expensive, which is one reason why other magazines don't seem to try it.

I don't know why people think Shugomaru could survive over Ayakashi and Doron. I mean, Shugomaru is at the bottom of the bottom in the ToC. So, Shugomaru isn't even popular in the WSJ magazine.

It's important to remember that the WSJ magazine sales are pretty important profits for Shueisha too. That's why they consider their polls. People who buy the magazine each week vote in these polls. This would be the reason why they are lenient with a manga that doesn't sell much in volumes if...

I wasn't trying to imply Anime studios were part of the committe. However, anime studios has contacted manga publishers to have the permissions to create an anime (they surely contact publishers for new seasons too). Not to mention that new seasons will require that a studio is interested in...

I'm not interested in the discussion about whether Black Clover will continue or not, but I'm not sure a manga ongoing is so necessary for the anime. Sudios wouldn't care about that aspect so much, since the most important for the anime is the merchandise sales. I think manga readers are a...

This isn't really true. There was a push for Samurai 8 in the TOC at first, but it ended pretty fast. People were already pretty surprised when Samurai 8 started to fall at the bottom so soon. It definitely happened before Volume 1 was released (in this forum, people were already predicting...

Where do you find this graphic? Are graphics for other WSJ manga?

When Yabuki said the Ayakashi wasn't ending? My trust on his commentary depends on how recent this was. When Kishimoto said he had plans until volume 10 (though he said the story could last longer), nobody expected the reception for Samurai 8 would be poor.
