    While this is just my personal take and perception, I think the answer to this is series' perception and "rid-ability" when reselling them. Q1: What's easier to resell: a shonen series or a josei series? Q2: What's easier to resell: a shonen series that's popular or a shonen series that's not...

    Yes and no at the same time. While most editors who remain in the magazine throughout their entire career all go through a similar process of eventually becoming team leaders as rotations, shuffling, and changes are made every year, they could leave the magazine before that and return to become...

    What it actually says is that reprints are small in comparison to the current demand that has not been met for a few months straight. Reducing the post to half of that sentence is what honestly just feels like baiting in the middle of a serious explanation. Also, we can keep ignoring the "rumor"...

    Yes, because that has been the issue with MASHLE's reprints since the series started to go full bogus while Shueisha hasn't met the demand properly. This is not to say MASHLE would be selling 3 million per week, but it's been running low since all this started. The last time MASHLE was reported...

    It's not just 'weird', it's just blatant adopted sexism that's trying to be shown as some sort of 'genuine criticism'. "This 14 year old should have bigger boobs", "that ghost guy should be a girl, with boobs", "the series needs more girls, with boobs". I don't know man, don't think being able...

    So early into the series and with a -25% projection on a second week? Absolutely none. It's even hard to predict how the series will do further into the month considering how bad this is speaking of its reception. Even Elusive's drops were at least 10k copies per volume max, this is already...

    What's a statistical anomaly is how bland your baits are getting. Like damn, at least the previous ones had some reality to it that made them funny, but this one's a really poor try at an average Twitter user answer, filled with mistakes even. Remember, it's not about the fastest bait, but the...

    This had some really good aging. I guess Ichinose is probably only being kept propped up by the mangaka's previous success. I think the series is struggling to get mass appeal, and it may find itself struggling to last to 2024 if it can't even keep its own fanbase.

    No, this is Narita Ryuuchi, history consultant and commentator on the series. He will have a regular column on the magazine to add context and additional information regarding the post-war setting of the series, similar to Elusive's.

    It's literally just a distribution issue we have known about for months. You can literally just go to Twitter and check how bookstores state they receive volumes days later than they're supposed to be out. It takes a 1 minute search of effort.

    Congratulations on taking the highest number of UU and the lowest number of Akame I posted. Yes indeed, that's as far as your actual data goes. And yes, why would I post about other 10 volumes spread over close to 3 years of serialization with promotional volumes, voice acting, merchandise...

    It's basically the role/person credited next to the Editor-in-Chief (still Nakano) on the back cover of the magazine.

    Yup, my guess was right even though it's not like it was impossible to consider seeing how the movements were being made. Also, this is just some non-important trivia but if you want to know, Heishi is not the "issuer" (発行人) of the magazine anymore, but Yahagi is now.
