Ao no Flag is in 15th in this ranking. I hope it can sell at least 20k before leaving the top 500 on the Shoseki Ranking.

SW#1 is doing worse than titles from Plus/SQ/V-Jump

and it's doing only slightly better than Amalgam of Distortion

y is dis manga is not ded?

 

[tirakai]

Maybe one of the higher ups really loves it.

Those sales are so bad... It says it all when HZ, Dance and even Astra are 15-20+ places higher than it. There's no way it can survive with that.

 

[ElJin]

Wow, Neverland selling more than Gintama in the first day? I'm anxious to see Black Clover VS Neverland in next volumes (though I think BC will still selling way more).

 

[Nakura]

Wow, MHA Illegals is way higher in the first day than I expected.

 

[TyVip]

my contact in Shueisha have leaked the company's balance sheet for the first quarter of 2017 (legit +exclusive)

As the Editor in Chief this is not accurate. We also paid ¥10,000 to access to the Oracle to get the ranking every single week. Brb going to talk to the sale department chief and fire your contact for leaking misinformation, and for using $ currency.

It will be interesting to see the actual sales in a few days considering these are real time rankings. Dont think BC has even broken 200k before dropping off? Even Gintama's latest volume did by a significant amount. I doubt Neverland got such a significant boost to put it ahead of both BC and Gintama though.

The bold part about Nisekoi was an error of typing, sorry. The other bold parts are intentional. They´re only the names of the series

I know, it was me who make that part bold to show you. hahaha
I disagree with saying that Nisekoi forgot to develop its characters.

 

[Kadir0]

So which series is going to get ranked tomorrow?

Poro, although the TOC will come in about 11 hours.

Why do you give veterans so much extra credit?
I personally think there is no difference between a series from a rookie or a new series from a previously serialized author, granted that one may have had a pretty well received previous work but I digress, there all the same to me a new series that can get the axe as fast as the wind can carry it at any time no matter who the writer/artist is.

Rica prety much explained but... Yeah, they are more experiencied and in JUMP without it you just have sheer luck to survive...

I disagree with the bold part about Nisekoi, we can talk about that if you want, but the rest is perfect, that's what I dream to see here. XD

You dream about people agreeing with you? Lol.

your struggle is futile, eic

your magazine is dead thanks to Edited Manga readers boycott after the injustified axing of bleach

O great oracle, please make YJ digital available... That way we can beat the shunkan :V

Bunkyodo should only be used as a sort of preview for the weekly and daily sales. Its not included in Shoseki POS or Oricon in their sales collection points. Its used on 2ch exclusively to see whats selling currently and even then only at night as the data is completely unpredictable during the day. Furthermore, early morning it will act up and show random series at the top even though that volume, like maybe Claymore Vol 1, is no where near the ranking just an hour ago.

Spring Weapon is a weird series. I don't read it but to do that do, does it really show that much potential? Does it warrant the editorial writing this on the cover?

Its literally asking, "Have you seen this series? Its caused a slight boom and is rapidly rising in popularity! Due to this trend of soaring popularity, its known as "Phoenix", a living legend gag series. At this point, you can still say, " I had it on my radar from the beginning!".

I've never seen this kind of blatant, almost funny advertising done on any volume release. Their trying so hard to push it, but is it really worth it?

Naruto releases all coming out May 2nd: Boruto volume 3, Boruto novel, Naruto quiz book and two animation books. There appears to be another Naruto Shueisha remix starting this month as well. Source: Amazon.co.jp.

I read the first 3 chapters when Viz published them and I didn't think it was anything special
predictable overused jokes, boring art, boring characters, boring fights
mc's gimmick is to lose consciousness and control over his powers when someone touches his head's screw which is stolen from Saiki Kusou, that got it on my bad side more than anything

 

[WyldViolet]

I like what I've read of SW1. It's comfy af and reminds me of early World Trigger meets early Reborn!.

 

[Leoat12]

There are some series that indeed have some privilege although they don't deserve such a thing, maybe because the editor in chief likes it... I don't know, but there are series that you seriously think what they are still doing in the magazine and why they push it so much.
