Re: Japanese Comic Ranking, December 3-9

Hmmm, I didn't even realize the manga is that close to the serial, though I guess that's not really surprising given there hasn't been any serials in a while.

Re: Japanese Comic Ranking, December 3-9

it's not that close ..the serial wouldn't catch up with the manga even if togashi did not return until next year.....i guess

the next year in june the chimera ant arc will start ..after it there is the elections arc ..so it will take quite a time

Japanese Comic Ranking, December 10-16

March comes in like a lion, Chihayafuru, Attack on Titan, Hunter X Hunter, Saint Young Men in top 5


Hunter X Hunter 31 4th


147,147 Est. Weekly Copies


831,446 Est. Total Copies


2012/12 Release Date

Shueisha Publisher

surpassing ...Bleach..One Piece...Kuroko no Basuke...Toriko...Claymore...Beelzebub...and other known mangas ​

 

[Kamen Rider Dragon]

Well it surpassed One Piece because there wasn't a new volume released that week.

As for why they put up with his constant hiatuses well it just because Hunter x Hunter still sells regardless. Even the short story placed high in the rankings for Weekly Jump.

 

[Uriel]

Which ones were released alongside then? I'm curious.

 

[GingFuriksu]

Which ones were released alongside then? I'm curious.

Shingeki No Kyojin, Toriko, Kuroko No Basuke, Bleach, Shaman King Flowers, Reborn!, Claymore, GinTama and Nura. So I'd say that's pretty GOOD ! Out of ALL those mangas the only one that's higher than HxH is Shingeki No Kyojin. But HxH has more TOTAL volume sales than any manga on the list- 831,446

 

[den_lim]

Well, one might think that the sales can be attributed to the fact that people want HxH. And since we're not getting any new stuff (except for that 2-parter), we need to satisfy that HxH hunger somewhere -- the volumes even if we've already read them. It's like Harry Potter before. Kids who were waiting for the next book kept reading and rereading the ones that were already out while waiting for the next.

still big hxh

 

[TheAmericandream]

Honestly I have a feeling it only counts Volumes 1-64 or so of JoJo's bizarre adventure because in 2005 it stopped being part of Shonen Jump and began serialization under the name Steel Ball Run, so its sales figures might be actually higher (almost certainly actually) Still for Yu Yu Hakusho which is only 19 volumes to be in the top 10 actually says a LOT about the power of Togashi! It makes me happy to see the Japanese sales correlate fairly closely to what I think are the 10 best Shonen books (and manga in general)

 

[Phantron]

One Piece might as well be a Japanese cultural phenomenon so there's no point to compare to it in sales (it's sort of like trying to compare RPGs to Dragon Quest in Japan). HXH's per volume sales has always been very high though it's dipped some probably due to the hiatus. Honestly, a drastic drop in HXH's sales might induce Togashi to get back to work, though it's just as likely he doesn't care.

we hope he get back..cuz if he Maintain in a stable rhythm .the sales will increase instantly...or else he will lose fans and jump will stop his hxh.....just kidding..but togashi really make us suffer ...and who knows maybe one day hxh will surpass one piece

 

[Kazna]

It seems his fans already get angry at him for not redrawing the chapters in vol 32. If he's not going to return after the movie they'll sure be pissed (yeah "they" includes me).

 

[Phantron]

I always thought Togashi is playing a game of chicken with the SJ staff + fans but one of these days someone's going to call his bluff and that could get ugly for everyone.

When are they gonna reveal this announcement? And I'm obviously hoping for number 1. Number 2 doesn't matter because its already messed up and I wouldn't really care much for number 3. ( If Departure stays I can just skip it everytime and if there's a new opening, w/e its just an opening )

 

[zzigg]

the SUPER SPECIAL announcement gonna be revealed after the movie credits

and we all hop for n° 1
