The author of My Hero Academia would like the series to end up with about 30 volumes. Even if he admits that he recently thought about how many chapters/episodes there were left to conclude the story and that finally, doing everything in 30 volumes would be impossible.

Nothing new.

So, I just watched the OVA of Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san.
I loved.
If the anime has the same quality of the OVA, the anime will be very good.

Ended up being better than expected, somehow I liked the material more here.
They kinda nailed the atmosphere of the early manga, VAs were really good (loved how Yuuki Ono did Kogarashi), and had better visual flair than I was expecting. Art for characters was really off throughout the OVA, but it didn't bother me as much as I was expecting. Certain scenes copied from the manga were a bit annoying though.
I have a bit more confidence in this now than before.

MHA numbers doesn't really make any sense

MHA numbers doesn't really make any sense

And why ?

 

[xAsum0x]

Jujutsu Kaisen doing real well

 

[Aipom626]

Jujutsu Kaisen doing real well

Also on this list but not in the top 10: Robot x Laserbeam at #12, Act-Age at #18, Noah's Notes at #36. and Ziga at #47. Glad to see that Act-Age still seems to be doing pretty well for something of its genre in WSJ

 

[Franz]

It's Shoseki rankings ?

 

[DyanSon]

And why ?

2015-2,190,845
2016-5,114,916
2017-5,852,310

It's not rare for Oricon to report numbers bigger than the actual circulation number given by the publisher.

 

[WyldViolet]

I loved the first two chapters of Seiji Tanaka.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Wait, did Jujutsu already reach the 30k club?

 

[Caiops]

So now Jujutsu is selling more than RxL?

 

[Aipom626]

It's Shoseki rankings ?

That website isn't Shoseki. It's a different one that updates itself in what is almost real-time that usually shows the top 10 or 50 things that are selling at the moment from the stores/locations it surveys. I'm not sure what its scope is compared to Shoseki though. One thing it keep in mind when Shoseki comes out is that all of the Slam Dunk volumes will inevitable push most series down a handful of slots, so I'd almost consider their true ranking to be whatever it is once Slam Dunk is factored out since it has so many volumes in the Top 50-ish right now

Considered it cancel bait after its first couple of chapters. Turned out to be pretty good. Happy to be wrong

Yeah it's pretty fun and i like the blonde mc.

The store chain that this ranking represents is also not included in Oricon or Shoseki but its the only ranking that does real-time sales. Rakuten does an hourly update but this goes even further. The down side is that this isn't included while Rakuten is so take it as you will. Also, the weekly ranking is updated everyday, usually around 9AM JST so you can get a feel for how a certain volume is doing.

1- 15 000 000 its for volume 1-18 + novel + spin-off 4-koma + spin-off vigilent.
2- As of December 31, 2017, the total circulation of My Hero Academia (excluding spin-offs and novels) was 11,843,000 copies.
3-
December 7, 2015 to November 28, 2016 : 5,114,916 (sales) for My Hero Academia (excluding spin-offs and novels)
December 5, 2016 to November 27, 2017 : 5,852,310 (sales) for My Hero Academia (excluding spin-offs and novels)
December 4, 2017 to May 28, 2018 : 2,516,768 (sales) for My Hero Academia (excluding spin-offs and novels)

So :
In novembre 27 (2017) : 5,114,916 + 5,852,310 = 10,967,226 (sales) for My Hero Academia (excluding spin-offs and novels)
In may 28 (2018) : 10,967,226 + 2,516,768 = 13,483,994 (sales) for My Hero Academia (excluding spin-offs and novels)

So no, the figure of 15 million isn't weird.

So 2015 sale doesn't mean nothing? Okay then
