Smh wish the wait was longer...

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

You can do it, Noah Notes!

 

[SharkBait]

Weird. Toc. Is this real.

 

[Ninjaz]

Weird. Toc. Is this real.

Yes it is real. Youtubers are trustworthy sources. you should know that by know.

You can do it, Noah Notes!

I really hope it succeeds. It being above the others here at least gives me some more confidence in it, although it doesn't necessarily mean much.

 

[cody]

The wait is over


Act-age...

did, did I read that right? Ziga almost at the bottom? (goodbye then)

All of the new manga are having a hard time.

 

[Doughboy]

rip ziga, goodbye act age, hello despair

 

[tirakai]

I knew Ziga would be at the bottom. Most of chapter 1 was just nothingness.

 

[Mr.Fujimaster]

Ziga had an interesting first chapter for me. But something told me that the manga was not going to be a success, being canceled at some point.
Apparently Act-Age will be canceled with Ziga.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I have faith in new shogi manga. I feel good vibes from it.

 

[ChocoBar9]

I have faith in new shogi manga. I feel good vibes from it.

You have faith in every new manga.

 

[OfficialHxH]

The artist for Act Age being only 20 years old and is in Shonen Jump, definitely has a lot of time to improve her art and come back to the magazine.

 

[xAsum0x]

I have no idea what to think of the ToC anymore lol.

 

[ChocoBar9]

I have no idea what to think of the ToC anymore lol.

I have no idea what to think of the ToC anymore lol.

One Piece and the Super Push at the top. Older series (Gintama, HQ, BnHA, SnS) in the middle. Yuuna, Zumo, Robot and the new ones at the bottom.

 

[Scruffy8642]

Wew, how far Shokugeki has fallen.

 

[SharkBait]

*14319 *611462 BnHA 17
**9756 *659976 BnHA 16

Closing in pretty fast on 16, wonder if 16 can reach 750k by the next longitudinal listing.

 

[ShenGao]

The real loser this time is RxL. Volume 5 sold almost 16k less than Volume 2 at the same amount of days.

Isn't Laserbeam also part of the Super Push? lol

 

[Franz]

Isn't Laserbeam also part of the Super Push? lol

I think that for Super Push intends the series very pushed by Jump. Now I would say that both Nevelrand, Kimetsu and Stone can not be considered new as they have been there for more than a year.

This week we can make a nice comparison to BC vol. 10 which came out back when the anime began in October.

│100937 (5)│144506│165512│180954│194163┃*,194,163 (*33)┃2017/10｜ブラッククローバー 13
│142077 (5)│------│------│------│------┃*,142,077 (**5)┃2018/05｜ブラッククローバー 16

Looking at it 2 cours later there is a boost as it did almost as much as Vol 13 did in 12 days in 5 days. However I don't think this volume will be able to pass 300k either.

Soma also continues in its decline selling less than Volume 27 which had one day less for its first week. Up till now, Soma was able to pass 300k and the anime is running but we'll see if it does pass it.

At the event "Jump's Future 2018", Nakano gave an interview and talked about what they (the editorial) wants to do from here on out. When the topic of what current Jump is lacking he answered, "A hit series with a 1 million first printing. We want to create a series that once again is able to become a hit with kids, like One piece, Naruto and Bleach. Right now, Jump is lacking in characters that all young boys know." He continues, "Comic print circulation isn't everything but creating a character that everyone in the world knows is important. We want to create interesting manga. This is a joke but, we want to undertake world conquest with characters."

Regarding current Jump he says, "Jump is struggling with series that are aimed at kids. The age of the readership is also growing. Kids are watching Youtube, so that has become the rival. If there was an app that could connect kids with manga." The previous EiC Heishi was also there and he says, "Overseas, even if the story isn't received well, the characters are. The power of characters is strong and so we want to use them well."

This is rather interesting but again they seem to be focused on physical print numbers. Its nice that they're looking to make an app but I really have to wonder what their plans for digital ventures are. Also, it was mentioned previously that Stone was popular among kids so that might be one reason they're putting a lot of effort into promoting it. I can also see Build King being liked by kids and them pushing that as well.
