When Jump going to release Dr Stone number? I smell fishy here

When Jump going to release Dr Stone number? I smell fishy here

This. Is too bizarre. Dr.Stone is the ONLY Jump title that has never gotten the million copies number revealed. I think reason is that despite being the most pushed manga since Toriko, it still sells less that titles like Jujutsu.

PD: I predict Jujutsu will get its next Jump cover in 2020 when anime announcement happens. I also predict Jujutsu will be the only Jump title with no cover in all 2019 (together with maybe Hinomaru).

 

[Kaizoku_82]

I love Neverland, but why give it a cover now?? I know it's not gonna last that much and editors need to make good use of it's success, but it's Jujutsu's birthday, come on.

 

[SharkBait]

Still no cancellation announcement for Higuma and Ne0 I guess.

why would they cancel something when there is nothing new to announce?

We all know about SD's huge popularity but this video does a great job highlighting the scale of it's popularity and popularization of basketball.

We'll prob never see a sports manga have this level of impact. Even Haikyuu is far behind SD's popularity.

How well do you all expect the boost for KnY sales after the anime?

How well do you all expect the boost for KnY sales after the anime?

I'm not going to speculate any numbers but I'm hoping for a big boost. For me the manga has been consistently phenomenal so it would be great if more people bought the volumes.

 

[SharkBait]

How well do you all expect the boost for KnY sales after the anime?

too early to ask, wait until episode 1 or even 3 since it seems people are like the first 3 episodes are a major borefest.

 

[Tanzo]

How well do you all expect the boost for KnY sales after the anime?

Hope for big numbers

Not gonna quote above, but I haven't seen a single sign of that criticism.

How well do you all expect the boost for KnY sales after the anime?

I believe Kimetsu volumes do around 150-170k in a month, something around that. With the anime it should be in the low 200k's and mid 200k's. With the pacing of the movie (5 episodes), it looks like we'll end season 1 with the spider family arc. I expect Kimetsu to get the bigger boost in season 2 with the demon train & red light district arc. I know this is a far prediction since S2 isnt even announced yet but I predict Kimetsu manga sales to peak around 300-350k.

Its pretty much unanimous within the fandom that the demon train arc is the best arc, some argue red light district but either way season 2 is going to most likely going to cover those arcs.

 

[cody]

If the anime has 26 episodes I expect it to end with the Demon Train arc.

 

[Tamil]

The first 5 episodes covered only 9 chapters though. It does look like they're fleshing out the earlier parts of the manga.

 

[cody]

It could have a quicker pacing later. Well I guess we'll find out eventually.

 

[Franz]

So, two chapter per episode right ?

They could do since tbh its only like the first 2 or so arcs that need to be fleshed out more. The key visual could just be for the first cour.

Seems like it

More like 3 if they do up to the demon train arc. If its up to spider family then close to 2 chapters per episode.

 

[Franz]

Seems a good pacing to me.

 

[WyldViolet]

The demon train arc and spider house are such incredible arcs. Shame all the rest are all so mediocre.

 

[cody]

In my opinion the other arcs are also incredible but we all have our own opinions.

I can't wait to see the rest of the seiyuu, they seem to be going for an all star cast.
