Wait, it doesn't include Dec 2018? OP volume 91 dropped then so the gap is much larger, right? That should mean the gap is ~2.5M.

More like never care about female side.we on the west focus more on the male side.
the 5,015,325 figure covers sales surveyed from November 19, 2018 to May 19, 2019.Wait, it doesn't include Dec 2018? OP volume 91 dropped then so the gap is much larger, right? That should mean the gap is ~2.5M.
I wouldn't say the female audience is bigger than the male audience for anime.Wotakoi is a josei work though.
But, let's not put fujoshi and otaku girls on the same thing, because they aren't. People in the west seems to think that they aren't the same thing but all fujoshi are otaku but not all girl otaku are fujoshi. And yes, the female public is one of the biggest, not only today but since ever, with the last decades being even more evident.
There's a reason for why shoujo and josei exists, why female imprints for Light Novel exists, for why anime adaptations of games, manga and novels exists, etc. It's a big market that here we don't look to much as we on the west focus more on the male side.
It's even more funny because female otaku are pretty much ignored in discussions about jp products in the internet in general as if they don't exist, as the stereotype of otaku is the male NEET and whatsoever, even when they are a big public or at the very least, as bigger as the male one. Hell, in comiket there's a huge number of female otaku and they even have their own day. But most of this is never commented because there's this impression that otaku are like 90% men when the reality couldn't be more untrue. Not only for otaku in general as there's many idol otaku for male and female groups but for anime/manga/LN/gaming otaku.
Oh, I didn't mean that. Just that it's a sizeable part of otaku culture in general. And of course, it'll depend on the series if there's more or less female public.I wouldn't say the female audience is bigger than the male audience for anime.
I mean, there is a reason why anime directed toward women are a smaller amount compared to anime directed toward men. I usually see all the animes each season, I can confirm these are minority in comparison.
It seems common thar some shoujo manga are adapted to live action.
However, the idea of a female fanbase being almost inexistent is pretty ridiculous. As you mentioned, there are shoujo and josei magazines.
I understand.Oh, I didn't mean that. Just that it's a sizeable part of otaku culture in general. And of course, it'll depend on the series if there's more or less female public.

What's amazing is that it started at 3-4 million prints at the start of the year and now it has caught up with TPN....Last week was 14 million wow

Tbh I recall that when Shokugeki entered in the Blue Arc, they announced it like it was entering in a new chapter. Not sure at all since I don't remember it well.It says HQ is entering new chapter so looks like it is not ending
It'll be funny if KnY catches up to MHA after the movie is released.KNY has 16 million copies in print.
Issue 45: I recall MHAMy Hero Academia will be on break next week
I mean MHA is at 24 million prints right now. Unless it becomes as big as AoT or OP at their peak, with 17/18 volumes, I just couldn't see it happen...It'll be funny if KnY catches up to MHA after the movie is released.
