DBS won't end over Kitarou

Kitarou is a widely well regarded and prestige property. If it was anything else I would fully agree but even I have doubts that they wouldn't straight up end Super because of it especially with how things are at currently with the anime it can practically end with no loose ends with the current arc.

Just saw this, so you can disregard this for now.

A break seems even less likely to be honest since they almost never happen to longrunning anime (Gintama pretty much became a seasonal anime after Gintama' and the second movie was suppose to end it all but after it made so much money they backpedaled)

In fact peploe thinks :
-Old numbers (out early in december) 3 200 000 was print + digital sold for 6 first volumes
-New numbers 3 300 000 is just print for 7 first volumes.

I pretty sure we just found the 7 volume number early. 3.2 million came a whole month after volume 6. The extra 100K would be the Christmas reprint.

Spoiler: The announcement poster for 7

Happy new year everyone! I'll try to be more active here this year :P
For now, I made a new video, tried to do my best to fix all the wrong number from last year and adding more than 30 new titles, hope you enjoy. I might do an analysis here or in form of a video. Hope you enjoy.

So SD has 170 million in jp alone?

So that means it's #2 in jp sales only and DB is #3

Not that I don't believe you. But do u have a source.

My biggest hopes for 2018 are announcements for Neverland and Yaiba anime adaptations by the end of the year.
Also hoping to get some new successful manga in the magazine, most importantly successful manga I'll personally enjoy a lot.
Hoping Boze is good.
I also hope the MHA movie is interesting and good. In my opinion, 2017 was the best year for the MHA manga, as no previous arcs in the series have been nearly as good or enjoyable as the most recent. And I'm hoping this year will be even better, but I'm always having doubts as to whether Horikoshi can continue to surpass himself or not. Trend seems to be that my doubts are unnecessary.
And I'm also excited to the see the conclusion to the current arc in One Piece soon, which should be great. Excited for current and future events in the series.

Last, but not least, I'd like to see some progression in HxH this year before it disappears again, and that we'll get a solid amount of chapters, as I've been enjoying the previous chapters we've been getting, and want to be satisfied before it goes away again, just like last year.

Yuuna's been using the "testing the limits" line lately, though I guess it's just Shueisha making it to be the next TLR.
Neverland's been constantly advertising new developments in the current arc too.

 

[TyVip]

TPN Color Scheme is just so fascinating to look at.

Hoping Boze is good.

So that 3.3 Million, and the previous 3.2 million most likely, was for 7 seven volumes. That's great growth and the best since Heroaca though now we see that its still considerably below Heroaca.

Heroaca
1～7巻 累計370万部 (3.7 million)

However the comparisons stop here as the anime started with the next volume and jumped up to 4.2 and 4.7 before 5.2 at volume 9.
Since this might also include digital sales, personally, this seems slightly underwhelming. It most probably deserves every copy printed but from all the exposure and accolades and including digital, I expected around 3.5 million at least. It will be interesting to see the sales for this nest volume with 4 days of sales.

│144360 (4)│211988│237386│******│265742┃*,265,742 (*32)┃2017/11｜約束のネバーランド 6

Its convenient that the previous volume was also 4 days so the "kono man" boost should be nice to see.

For 2018 though, I really hope they serialize another traditional battle shounen manga that actually gets the blood pumping and has great characters and is heartfelt. Personally, I hoped Golem Hearts would be that but the few chapters really turned me off to the characters.

ah ok
So it's world print

I thought it was jp only sales. Cause everything in that vid relates only to jp sales

The HZ volume looks even sexier with the TV anime announcement jacket.

TPN vol. 8 release date

Nobody confirmed or disconfirmed that it's worldwide, I could use the former figure but I decided not to.
We might not get the info for that for years or ever, until Shuiesha post something about that, and that may happen only if something new will pop-up related to SD. Anime, new kanzenban or something...

The common sense tends to be with worldwide sales, the last time Shuiesha posted about SD was in April 2014
April 2014 - Shueisha MEDIA GUIDE 2014 - 121,360,000
April 2013 - Shueisha MEDIA GUIDE 2013 - 120,290,000
April 2012 - Shueisha MEDIA GUIDE 2012 - 118,970,000
April 2011 - Shueisha MEDIA GUIDE 2011 - 116,670,000

About 1-2 million increase every year, so it stands with the option that it can't reach 170 million in almost 4 years. Tho the Kanzenban version sold 8 million back in 2004 and might few more millions in the past 13 years, but I can't know that. Other sources like "NHK Professional" episode 126 about Takehiko Inoue (creator of SD) reported that it had already 120 million copies in print in Japan and it was aired in September 2009, almost 4 years before "Shueisha MEDIA GUIDE" reported numbers like that. It's not right, but it's not wrong for me to use the 170 million figure in the video, since we don't have a 100% confirmation. And you use the words "print" and "sales" in the same sentence but they can be drastically different in terms of numbers.

I might ask Inoue himself, he is working now as basketball journalist or something between those lines so I might meet him at a game, or at his shop he opened last year

Please don't post pages with spoilers here, not everyone is caught up with magazine releases of every series.

So SD has 170 million in jp alone?

Not that I don't believe you. But do u have a source.

Didn't see that comment, my source is "Balevel" a quiz program aired in TV Asahi almost 2 years ago, the theme of the episode was SD.

Testing the limits? Is Volume 8 what included Chapter 76? If so I can see why they said that.

isn't this just another quiz from a while back? idk i may be wrong. You have to use QR code to access it, i think. The last one can be access from any browser.
