Hori recent tweet make it seem like the cover and color spread was intended for MHA rather than Neverland. "Thank you for so many votes in the character popularity poll! I heard we got some from abroad too! Also, I'm sorry for not drawing a color page announcement on time, but please wait for the next color spread!"

I wonder if they have faster artists prepare a couple spare emergency colour pages just in case something like that happens, where the intended series doesn't finish one in time.

Or Posuke is literally a machine that pumps out color pages like nothing.

Well she is pretty good remembering she also draws on her twitter account.

yeah she does daily coloured illustrations. I'm sure an extra cover wasn't too hard for her.

Let's ask directly. @MangAniMY

Edit: If you're asking how accurate we think it is, then I'd say it seems to be a decent guess.

position,

1,2 locked.

moderately confident with TPN at 8. (could move)

9 and below is uncertain if they could even make it (wild cards and the unexpected)

everything else is too close to say confidently about their positions.

if you want to say about actual accuracy, the results should be in a few weeks.


about the number, read the thread. (wip)


Stressing that this is just MY personal predictions/calculations/estimates

would be accurate if One Piece, Haikyuu, and Shingeki sold 0 copies of catalog titles since I do not believe the person has numbers for what the catalog volumes sell if they didnt appear anywhere on the chart during the year,.

ONE PIECE
Red: Guess within reason

Orange : Educated guess based on previous/surrounding week

number are from first half, and series monthly and weekly where applicable which you can check at okachi.fr

Series as in oricon track for the SERIES, which include backlogs for the SERIES and not just the latest volume of the SERIES

not saying I am accurate, just saying I'm not pulling number out of thin air

Yes everyone knows that. If they dont show up in the 10, then it is a ???? as to what they sold for that month for your calculations which require addition. Your red and orange there show that there is missing data that you are filling in with a guess.

hence what my post was getting at "if they didnt appear anywhere on the chart"

that is why they are guesses/estimates/prediction,


slightly unrelated: using uppermost bound (value just below lowest value that rank for that week/ month) OP only goes as far as 8,32M

I don't think Tokyo Ghoul:RE will be in the TOP 10 this year, sales were not that good in the last volumes.

I hope we see both Neverland and Kimetsu in the top 5 next year.

If Neverland's growth post anime is as explosive as it was prior to the anime, then it could very well be a top 2-3 contender next year.
Kimetsu would probably be around or little above whatever number BC pulls off. That's what I'm gonna be assuming.

Neverland is possible, but at best I only see KnY hanging around the 10-15 spot next year

 

[SharkBait]

I will side with Neverland not exploding as dramatically as some people say it will. Even saying top 5, could only be like 3.5-5mln sales, and the series already has high volume sales, which, IMO works against it as people are already interested in it without the use of an anime telling them to view it.I count high volume sales as a ding, as theres but only so many people in the manga market to begin with. Million sellers are so rare.

Kimetsu getting into top 5 seems like it be more of an explosive performance considering how low the series is now.

--
random do we even know total v1 sales of HeroAca? If it took until 2018 to finally cross 1mln...

Book-rank has it listed with 1,296,619

 

[xAsum0x]

How may of the volumes has sold 1 million or more by book-ranks estimate?
