Mainstream/general audience are the hardest audience to appeal to because 9 times out of 10 they won't even read the manga and just watch the anime even series like Detective Conan, Doraemon and Shin-chan despite its mainstream appeal gets outsold by Tokyo Ghoul and Kingdom? Who do you think are buying new HxH volumes? Surely not casuals.
Well Doraemon has more sales than Tokyo Ghoul and Kingdom combined I believe its over 100mln and also Im unsure if there are even volumes still coming out so I dont think you using it as a comparison makes sense, except to say that doraemon did appeal to general audiences. Quite sure the same is true of Conan and perhaps Shin-chan, so I still dont understand your use of them, and the implication that these anime series havent mobilzed people to buy them.
Didnt Kingdom explode after going on a mainstream channel talk show as well, again suggesting that it appeals to general audiences, and not the traditional crowd.
And that is wrong. You literally have no basis for thinking this way other than saying that the all those manga sell to the same groups of people, not everyone who reads One Piece is an advent manga reader to begin with, not everyone who reads Shingeki also reads OP, that's such a vapid statement to make in regards to manga buyers. A manga call sell over 700k per volume and people can still be a niche amongst general audience or people might not have even heard of it. Also nobody here even said Kimetsu would sell within that range after the anime but then again anything is possible with the boost Tokyo Ghoul and Attack on Titan had this decade.
No where did I even say people who read one piece read shingeki? I honestly dont know where you are pulling these statements from from anything I said. Unless I typed something wrong, theres nothing on this page that said I said that. I didnt even say anything about One Piece anywhere.
I dont understand your point for saying this:
A manga call sell over 700k per volume and people can still be a niche amongst general audience or people might not have even heard of it
Manga is already a niche, and fujo's are a niche of this niche, as not all manga fans are fujos. I am also quite sure in those demographic numbers occasionally posted that there has never been ANY manga where 100% of the ones interested in the specific series are females further suggesting that no series is ONLY being bought by traditionally viewed female fans interested in shipping characters (fujos).
Again do you really think ONLY fujos are buying Haikyuu or Kurobas.
Also nobody here even said Kimetsu would sell within that range after the anime but then again anything is possible with the boost Tokyo Ghoul and Attack on Titan had this decade.
Quite sure in your initial post on the matter you said you could see it exploding like Tokyo Ghoul (on the basis of doujin circles and events being held before the trailer was even released- which is strongly suggesting and highly implying that you are expecting it to get to their level (and corollary, on the basis that ONLY fujoshi are buying it)
