Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2018] - Discussion and TOC Talk

[SharkBait]

So Heiji posted this on Weekly Young Jump forum and I thought this can be used as a prime example as to why you cannot use the 40-60% digital sales generalized value throughout the industry.

Kingdom : 1-50 : 35 000 000
Kingdom : 1-49 (digital) : 6 000 000
Total : 41,000,000

Meaning digital sales made up for 14.6% of the total number. A far cry from the 40-60% generalized market number that keeps getting thrown around here.

You miss the caveat with the 40-60% value in that it applies to volumes that were sold during the year and after the year the data came from. In your example, a majority of Kingdom sales came before calendar year 2017, therefore for volumes that released in and beyond 2017, it is strongly suggested and highly implied that digital sales make up a significant portion of those volume sales. Extrapolating those numbers to a period before the data was analyzed is a very grave mistake and a blatant misunderstanding of how to read the numbers.

Does the Apollo one shot description mention anything about gods or the actual Apollo from Greek mythology?

The one shot summary : Ghostbusters in a society where ghosts/spirits are scientifically recognized.

Those HZ anime designs sure resemble the manga artstyle, really hope GONZO knows what they are doing or else...

You're doing this wrong. Some of the volumes were released recently so your data is incorrect. Also it says right in the article that digital sales make 30% of Shueisha's sales.

The art's so cute

Wait, do the gfc 5 participants have short summaries? Is possible to translate them?

Mutou Black is finally getting scanlated. I remember being so hyped for this back in the day. Shame this mangaka never came back to the physical mag.

So evidently the artist of that oneshot Hono Mieru Shonen is Shiro Usazaki's assistant on Act Age.

Wasn't this the manga that people accused of being a clone of Kenshin? Or was that something else?
