Maybe she likes doing full colour chapters like what eldlive had

 

[Tymano]

Does Amano even want to return to the main magazine? Considering that she's already 45, I don't think she wants to start another weekly serial. Doing a monthly in SQ might suit her better at this point.

Age is just a number, people work well into their 80's. She still has an entire lifetime ahead of her.

Neverland getting a cover is odd because it's also going to get another cover in January when the anime starts. It's also the manga that needs the least pushing since it's going to end in 1.5-2 years at most regardless of popularity.

Assuming next issue MHA gets nothing, then that would be 15 chapters with no color pages or covers. Even if a manga is that popular it still odd to not give it anything at this point. We dont have to full ToC yet so it could be 14 though :^)

I think MHA not getting color pages or covers has more to do with Horikoshi's health than with pushing or lack of pushing. The past 8 chapters have all been 14-15 pages long.

Your logic is as sound as saying "What would prevent him from creating a series that sells 400 million copies? Oda does it".

What's that got to do with it? Here we talk about health problems with the creation of cover ,,,

And then again, where is the problem? I do not think they are problems so serious as to prevent him from doing a cover .....

Wakanim has The Promised Neverland in France so I guess Amazon's exclusivity was only for Japan https://www.wakanim.tv/fr/v2/catalogue/show/434/the-promised-neverland

as usual anime fans jump to conclusions and far reaching comments whenever a show gets AMZN streaming in JPN, believing it extends to the entire world. Someday anime fans will learn not to jump to conclusions to incite fear and gnashing of teeth in people.

German Wakanim also has it https://www.wakanim.tv/de/v2/catalogue/show/435/the-promised-neverland-omu

odd people were making it seem like Act-Age would have an explosive display here of KimetsuYaiba proportions.

 

[Nemesis]

Act-Age is growing though. Slower than WNL and Stone did at the same time but it is. I can see it reaching 100k in a few volumes

*16630 **36769 Jigokuraku

Loving the boost in sales for Jigokuraku.

 

[iceemperor]

It basically is a Kimetsu like growth curve though.

At the same time:

Act-age has also seemingly left the 30k club. Its outsold Sumou on Oricon top 50 in 4 volumes.

It's called the basic understanding that people are inherently different to each other. Just because Oda can doesn't mean another mangaka also can.
That's like saying just because one person manages to handle their depression, everyone else can.

Good to see Act-Age show some growth. The Harem End series sure is popular, I wouldn't be surprised if we see an anime announcement soon.

It was more of because noitamina slot which have been made available worldwide since kabaneri, which have been 11 seasons straight of 10 series since then, and all were and still available on the platform

to be fair, they never actually mentioned it's exclusivity in the worldwide market when amazon made the deal with fuji tv in 2016, so yeah, it was an assumption, but not a baseless one.

Amazon japan always have had significantly more program each season compared to any other of its international counterparts, and people already knew that

adding a bit to what iceemperor chart since geocities doesn't include beyond the top 50

yeah they are pretty much the same now, next volume will be the real test.

Doubtful considering how much sex there's on it

It can have some OVAs.

 

[TyVip]

Let's see, right now it is at 300,000 for 4 volumes. It may not reach 1,000,000 by volume 6 like Bokuben

But something like 500,000 in print by the 5th volumes, and 750,000 by the 6 volumes would be ideal and reachable.

just checked online and you can't buy Yonagi's portfolio , but i bought the first 4 volumes in digital with 20% off coupon lol~ only 12$.
