I'm not expecting Jump titles to sell more digitally, I'm expecting Jump titles to sell digital copies proportionate to their physical sales, with some exceptions. However now I see your perspective; you're saying that maybe some individual series/publishers sell terribly digitally, some sell mostly digitally, and depending on certain factors we don't know where Jump lies on that spectrum. That makes sense.
"Spectrum" is the right word. Been scratching my head for the right word.
TOC placements from the first true Ranking onwards (started in Issue 8 of 2004, CPs are not included)
business fail for not adapting to changing market conditions by misunderstanding trends and ignoring data.
You plan for the worst case scenario and hope for the best outcome. If you started a manga distribution company with the data we have right now with us, you don't go in assuming 60% of your revenue is gonna be digital. You go in assuming your main source of revenue will remain paper while hoping your releases end up also garnering some digital sales. If you go in expecting 60% sales revenue from digital, you will burn out faster than you would think.
If I started a manga company today, I'd go majority or 100% digital since it has lower overhead cost and offers multiple monetization schemes. Many print magazines are shuttering and many manga are going all digital. Physical is dying all around us, dude.
Shueisha literally stated 70% of their revenue was physical. Its not dying or at least not remotely as quickly as you make it seem. The market is slowly transitioning. First off, you would need butt loads more data to make any sort of decision. Based on information we have today, and by we I mean us in this forum, solely going digital is more risky than spending all your dough on lottery. We have data available for physical sales. We have none for digital. What genre or demographic would you aim for? Which platform would you choose? What sort of marketing would you follow? How you even make a decision based on such lack of information is beyond me. Paper still exists and is still doing fine. Yeah, it's transitioning but it'll take another decade or more to fully convert to digital.
It had low placement for a long time, even as early as part 5 from what Ive checked but apparently it was as early as part 3 as someone pointed out.
More like SBR ranked at the bottom of the top 10 or below that even for most of its ranking. It was absent a lot of times too.
But a new arc litrally just started last chp.
Oh yeah? I have no idea. I remember people mentioning over here how it's in its final arc but the arc might stretch for long.
A good time to remind users that there’s an ignore option when you select a user’s name that means you won’t see their posts full stop. It can be a good problem-solver for users who can’t see eye to eye.
I mean, same with Bleach. That last arc was 19 volumes. It usually means there would be many mini arcs within the final major arc.
Nope, it got the cover for issue 3 in 2015 and the cover for issue 9 in 2016.
