It's impresive how much SnS sells, but if get an anime I'm sure it'll double the sales.

I wonder if the boost would be that dramatic.

-
I didnt know the world trigger snack promo gave access to five or so chapters. Maybe the curious will get into the manga.

Those Isobe Isobee Monogatari~Ukiyo wa Tsuraiyo~ sales are most impressive I think considering its volume number and such. Thats like even better than World Trigger and Soul Catcher(s) debut.

and it's a gag manga, which don't traditionally sell super well in volumes, so it's ridiculously impressive. It also means it might be back in print long enough for me to get a copy, but I digress I'm just super excited.

Chp 7 was so fun and with the series in a lighter funner tone it started to grow on me.

Monster apocalypse is just not suitable material to build a compelling introduction set of chapters in Jump.

Has there ever been a case where no manga has been consistently in the bottom 4/5 and that the manga serialised just bounce around so that nothing gets cancelled. That would be kinda interesting to see.

TWB's drawing style remember me a lot Shokugeki no soma's

I love how that famous German brand is used so openly on the cover lol

I don't think they look alike at all. The art in Shokugeki has way more details in the eyes... I think.

Also, the football shown in the picture is the official ball for the upcoming world cup. It's name is Brazuca.

True that, funny enough that one of the authors said "[...]By no means did we get on board the World Cup ship[...]" <-Yeah right...

Lol seriously? Had no idea at all since I don't like football...

I don't understand why japaneses don't like football,is the most popular sport of the world,more than basket and volley.Maybe this new series will go well against our prerogatives.

Who said they don't? There's many more popular soccer manga historically, than Basketball or freaking Volleyball

You think soccer is unpopular in Japan just because soccer manga didn't do well in Jump?

Which ones, I only know Ganbare,Kickers and Captain Tsubasa.

 

[Kaizou 10]

Whistle!, Area no Kishi, Shoot!, Days, Fantasista, Giant Killing, etc., etc.

There are many successful soccer series and I don't know why Pietro thinks soccer is unpopular in Japan.

 

[xi0]

There's Whistle!, Area no Kishi, Giant Killing, etc as well.

Well, I don't know exact numbers, of course. But I think it's obviously a more popular sport in Japan than Basketball or Volleyball. The only thing that might beat it is Baseball, and that's evident in the realm of manga as well. But to say the Japanese don't like soccer just because there isn't one running in Jump is pretty ridiculous. Would someone say the Japanese don't like Baseball because there isn't one in Jump? Of course not.

 

[Leoat12]

It is more like they love it by what I know. They even consider Zico (brazilian soccer player), who was their team's coach, a hero.

I think it is a little risky rely on in an event like World Cup to promote something that they expect to last much more than World Cup itself lasts. I mean, the promotion will end very fast, but the series has to continue for years, in a perfect scenario.
I think that is because the author deny that it has relation with the World Cup, for the series' popularity not suffer because of what will happen or not in the World Cup.

 

[Pietro]

Some of these are Magazine and Sunday,but over Captain Tsubasa and Giant killing,there's no series to beat 300k.No one has had the boom like Kuroko had.
And in jump all the soccer series end up dropped,and the last has been Dois sol,so I think is very difficult to this one to be successfull,but I'm hopless abut it.

 

[DihDiogo]

I think you can't think about a country's likes based in a manga success or not.
In Brazil, we love soccer, but we only have one manga of this genre here (and it is Inazuma Eleven, lol). What people don't like to read is not exactly what they don't like to do.

Besides, the last years soccer mangas were very very bad... Dois Sol was terrible.
