I think it's funny how there haven't been any new successful ones for almost 20 years, looking at the start date for Mr. Fullswing.In my boredom again, I've created a list of important baseball manga in Shonen Jump. Not only the first spokon in the magazine, baseball was the main Jump pillar in 70s until Circuit no Okami, Doberman Deka and Ring ni Kakero happened.
You need to get bored more often.In my boredom again, I've created a list of important baseball manga in Shonen Jump. Not only the first spokon in the magazine, baseball was the main Jump pillar in 70s until Circuit no Okami, Doberman Deka and Ring ni Kakero happened.
PD: Circuit no Okami and Doberman Deka are the great forgotten ones in Jump merchandising. They were their two biggest success titles in middle 70s, just before Cobra and Kinnikuman.
. Anyway, it's gonna take a while to work my way backwards, so I'm just doing whatever sections I feel like atm, meaning it's a bit out of wack currently.

That's a nice list. Thanks!On that note, I've just started putting together a Jump database of sorts over the past few days, because all this info is out there, just not in one place. Figured I'd post what I've done so far. If something like this already exists, let me know so I can stop lol. Or if there's a Jap equivalent someone knows of that I can directly translate from without having to gather multiple sources, that'd be neat. Otherwise I'm open to suggestions for other info to add, or formatting improvements. Also have all the debut covers for every series, but can't think of a way to include them neatly in a spreadsheet
Sidenote: Shudan and Cross Account started in a weird time where no one seemed to number their first ranks, so I had to work them out myself. I don't know if anything was absent those issues and not counted, so if their actual ranks are different to what I have, let me know please.
Also surprisingly series length (which I'm using to gauge success of lesser known series. 75+ I'll highlight in yellow) is the most annoying column because most sources (that I know of at least) don't give a chapter count. Normally I have to search up the final issue on comicvine and find out what chapter is listed

It would be great if you could fill in the details for the older manga!On that note, I've just started putting together a Jump database of sorts over the past few days, because all this info is out there, just not in one place.

Interestengly, this baseball trend stopped in 1980. And we know Captain Tsubasa was born in 1981.
Nice list. HZ had a #1 ranking for it's first ranking?On that note, I've just started putting together a Jump database of sorts over the past few days, because all this info is out there, just not in one place.

Wait, One Piece ranked first in its first ranking? I thought it had been third or fourth. It's the eighth week thing, right? I remember seeing the ToC here a few years ago. I think I"s was in the cover, Kenshin was 1 and Takeshi 2.
8 week ToC is an estimate, not a hard fact.
Oh, ok. Since that parameter was apparently used for the other series, I thought they were doing the same with OP.
That's what Oda said in the fax xD

Same but once you read it you can really see why it was popular with kids. It could've definitely exploded in popularity even more if it just had an anime. They did an OVA but nothing else after that. It had way more potential than Toriko that couldn't reach 500k sales.
