I love KNY but seeing it hog all charts feels off to me... Heck it even dominated the Light Novel and Overall Fiction charts..

Has VIZ or any publisher in the US released their figures for other series before? Just curious.

There was a controversy from a member of BTS who wore a tshirt which angered Japanese people because they believe it has anti-Japanese sentiments. They cancelled all appearances from Kpop groups and people from Japan demanded apology from the band. All because of a tshirt which the member claims...

I'm from the Philippines and my grandmother would tell the stories of the atrocity of what happened during the Japanese occupations and I still do hear from those here in our country the resentment and any reminder is really painful for the older people who lived it so I can sympathize how this...

Either that or Shueisha preemptively stopped the flame before it got huge. As I said, the Korean-Japanese relationship is so tense still that anything small can cause a huge diplomatic nightmare especially anything that reminds of the Japanese war..

I would assume he meant South Koreans and Chinese fans.. Country might be an exaggeration, though given how tense the Koreans and Japanese relations are, small things like these can actually set huge things... Heck, I remember even a Kpop member wearing a tshirt sparked huge reaction.. SJ did...

If you mean per volume, yes it should pass OP... I expect the volumes of KNY to place nos. 1 to 3 (or 4 if they release 4 volumes) in the 2020 Oricon per volume year

Yeah. I mean, if anything, it will make the fans rush to buy on the first week... Wished they've gone 2 mill though.. Well maybe by vol. 20..

From a Japanese box office thread: My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising, the second film in the popular anime/manga series, debuted in third place, selling 224,000 admissions over the weekend across 313 screens; it sold 332,409 admissions since opening on Friday. The film closely followed the...

So sales are basically flat... I don't think the movie and the anime will boost it anymore further. Probably if anything it will stabilize the sales Maybe the reprints?

So no Oricon numbers yet? Are they usually late during the holidays?

Okay, might have mixed the dates... MHA and TPN comes in March, yes and KNY in February.. that is even a shorter wait time.. the boost should still be there... Also, looking at the chapters not yet in tankobon, it still has enough materials up to 2-3 volumes...

I'm okay with this IF and only IF it doesn't feel forced... At this point though, I feel it is really going to the endgame and really the mangakas painted in a corner

That is what I am afraid of, tbh. I hope if the mangaka wants to end it, she ends it in her terms... Next volume comes out in March, right? I'm thinking 1.5M-2M first print, should rival OP's sales number IMHO...
