GRAND JUMP + MECHA AND MUCHA - MANGA SALES
Like i did in the JumpSQ and Ultra Jump thread, i finally finished the one for Grand Jump, i didn't expected to take so long but i realised after ending the main one that i had to also do the ones for the spinoff magazines Mecha and Mucha. Using the weekly Shoseki Top 500 estimations, i checked how each one of the series published in the 3 magazines (publishing or in hiatus) that already had a volume release are selling, remember, these are just estimations, not 100% the actual numbers. The results:
1. Amai Seikatsu - 2nd Season #13 (46,809)
2. Play Ball 2 #8 (42,124)
3. Radiation House #9 (39,491)

Grand Jump is pretty much what i expected in terms of sales, overall it's easily the magazine with the lowest sales between the "Jump" line, but it's expected considering it's a very "mature" magazine, it's the real
seinen magazine from Shueisha while i would put Young and Ultra Jump as something more for young adults where most of the shounen-ish and "edgy" seinen series go while Grand Jump gets the series with the real mature or sexual appeal, of course with few exceptions here and there but the fact that 4 of the 5 biggest sellers of the main magazine are very "old looking" series and none of them are action should tell enough about the readers age of GJ, also the Mecha magazine is lead by more sexual series that are doing quite good for GJ standards and while the Mucha one seems to overall have the least sales, surprisingly the magazine has the biggest hit between the 3 that is "Koko wa Ima kara Rinri desu", one of the very few series that were able to appear in the Oricon Top 50.
Two details, first Captain Tsubasa is currently on a own Tsubasa special magazine that is published each 2 months but i put in the GJ line because it's originally from there and still under them. Second, some of these series like Amai Seikatsu actually take quite a time to release a new volume so you never know if when it gets a new one released, sales will not be considerably under the one in the post.
