    That why I said in the first sentence of my reply that you are free to provide any fresher information to support you claims. Just like it is now? It has been years since One Piece volumes' first print run declined below four million copies. Mere rumours and projections are enough to keep this...

    This is kind of a bold claim to make without supporting it with numbers or at least estimates. Otherwise, those 8-15% of book royalties have always been reported as the main source of income for a mangaka. The salary, or manuscript payment, usually is barely enough to cover the taxes, staff...

    Huh, so Jujutsu Kaisen is about to cross 100k line just two volumes in. It's the first one to do so since what, The Promised Neverland? I wonder of the art improved in the mean time. Early chapters left no impression whatsoever.

    But today is neither the release day of the magazine nor the release day of the tankobon volume?

    An opening can catch one's attention and become a reason to check out its series. But no, a minute bit of an animated song which is used to save budget and promote a musician never comes to be the deciding factor for a show' success.

    So Golden Kamuy is going to follow the Tokyo Ghoul pattern and not the Kingdom one. Well, whatever works.

    Hears baka gaijins can't fit their cumbersome letters into speech bubbles, so he changes the shape of his speech bubbles. Good guy Oda.

    Mag Talk Weekly Shounen Sunday (Shogakukan) - Part 2 (2015 - 2021)

    Of course, Sunday has plenty of issues to address. Not even the editorial department denies that. It's just that singling it out as the only magazine to do mangaka wrong or turn this into some kind of competition is not the best course for discussion. I mean, if we want to talk exaggerations...

    You mean the same huge drop all other paper magazines have experienced which isn't unique to Sunday alone?

    Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Magazine News & Discussion (2014 - 2021)

    Pretty damn nice. Seeing how popular Monogatari franchise is in the west I wonder if Kodansha will license the manga before it gets an English Edited Manga.

    All big publishers made and suffered from their own share of mistakes. Kumeta and Raikou left Shogakukan. Akamatsu and Hinata had conflicts with Kodansha. Shueisha lost Hara and Hojo who went on to found their own company under a former Shonen Jump editor-in-chief. Nakaba has gone over all big...

    Ichihara Takenori replaced Torimitsu Yuu as the editor-in-chief only in the second half of 2015 when all 55th anniversary events were done and over.
