[Nakura]

Is next week a double issue

Yes.

 

[Scruffy8642]

Wow that Saguri-chan getting a series is great news!

 

[Mammo]

I hope they don't change the lead duo dynamic, no highschool melodrama and no ecchi shit

just have them explore abandoned building and stuff while someone info dump and that should be great

btw both Pigeon and Kitty & Slime Life had oneshots too although no one scanlated them

Since when did World Trigger struggle? It was pretty popular from what I remember, the sales were good.

I think it could've survived if it didn't go on hiatus.

\/ See Rica_Patin post below.

World Trigger in the top 20 last year and the first half this year. How is that "little popularity?"

Also, the magazine is anything but cramped.
Returning to hiatus

• Hunter x Hunter

Ending imminent

• Hinomaru Zumou
• Gintama
• Shokugeki no Souma

Dead Series Walking

• Spring Weapon No.01
• Shudan!
• Hungry Marie
• Cross Account

Again, see Rica_Patin post below \/
Shokugeki no Soma is not ending, you are making me laugh so hard. Do you read the series?

Zumou has been ending for the past two years.

And Gintama is ending since I came here 6 years ago. People here are naive, really...

People here clearly seem to be forgetting World Triggers first year.

Or were not here to begin with. They seems to think World Trigger is what it was when the anime came out. It struggled in its first year and after that until around the anime came out, the sales were not that good and increased very slowly and the rankings were from average and below.

August Volume Covers

"We Never Learn" is the best cover of the pack. Ricchan is the feature girl this time so I suppose the author will give the first position for each girl. Looking forward to Takemoto on the foreground.

Wait, wait, wait...okay I can see the others, but Gintama is ending? Wow.

And Hunter x Hunter is already in another hiatus? Didn't it just come back?

Well, Gintama ending is a meme at this point. It's on its last arc at least. I stopped reading like half a year ago so I couldn't tell you how close it is to ending.

HxH isn't on hiatus... but we all know it will be.

 

[Styx]

What makes people think it is on its last arc?

 

[Doughboy]

@Styx it was announced awhile ago it was in its last arc http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/daily-briefs/2016-07-07/gintama-manga-enters-final-arc/.104053

I don't see Food Wars ending anytime soon but you guys been speculating that since earlier in the year so maybe it could/should next year

 

[ChocoBar9]

What makes people think it is on its last arc?

Because it was literally announced that it was in its last arc a year ago
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/daily-briefs/2016-07-07/gintama-manga-enters-final-arc/.104053
And Sorachi stating that he had planned to end it as soon as possible.

 

[Styx]

Oh, okay. I don't read it just thought it was strange to see it ending when it is (I thought) so darn popular.

 

[Scruffy8642]

Yep, Gintama has been in it's final arc for just over a year. It's looking like almost everything is wrapped up aside the final showdown at this point and it could end fairly soon, but I said the same late last year so... You never know what this damn gorilla's gonna pull.

As for HxH, you'd be foolish to get your hopes up for much more than 10-15 chs. Lets be realistic here.

 

[Doughboy]

Been meaning to ask now that we're talking Gintama but is it considered a gag manga?

 

[Nakura]

Been meaning to ask now that we're talking Gintama but is it considered a gag manga?

It hasn't been a gag manga for like 3 years. It's basically a battle Shonen at this point. I miss the comedy so much. But yeah, disregarding the past few years, it's a comedy manga with serious arcs sprinkled here and there.

 

[Mammo]

Been meaning to ask now that we're talking Gintama but is it considered a gag manga?

it used to be a gag manga

but not anymore, it's just another battle shonen now, and not a good one in my opinion

 

[ElJin]

Everyone's talking about Gintama and it's "1 year ending", but isn't World Trigger about to be canceled since 2013?

 

[Tanzo]

This week's Yuuna chapter is basically Shokugeki foodgasms: the chapter.
Funny how the "you can read <author's> work in WSJ" message has been changed slightly to reference Tadahiro's PSVR obsession too.

Also if Neverland keeps getting color pages at this rate, Posuka's gonna have to release another artbook.

 

[Scruffy8642]

Well considering she posts coloured sketches on her twitter almost daily, it seems inevitable.

Haikyu! : Manga + Novels : 25 000 000

how did they count this cuz my math is a bit different with this missing a few millions

manga sales : 2056211(2013) + 8283709(2014) + 6531508(2015) + 6474393(2016) + 3086097(first half 2017) = 26431919 confirmed copies sold . In 2012 they probably sold around 300k so close to 27 million just from manga

novel sales: 603511(2014) + 333922(2015) +256782(2016) + 88653 ( first half 2017) = 1282878 confirmed copies sold without the sales from 2013 so around 1.3 million copies sold

All sales numbers that get released are just estimates, no company actually publishes their data so they can be off.

 

[sana76]

All sales numbers that get released are just estimates, no company actually publishes their data so they can be off.

but the numbers came from Oricon yearly sales who counts copies sold not even the print number. And 3.3 million copies is a lot to be off
