Kingdom is only a million copies behind One Piece and still has a whopping 54 volumes in the weekly top 300 rankings. It's finally going to happen this year.

Is the Rank 1-25 comics link actually broken?

Yep

Is the Rank 1-25 comics link actually broken?

yes

 

[Nemesis]

everything exactly as "predicted"

you got everything right lol

 

[101nemesis]

It's already over 320k, and does over 8000k each week.
There are still almost 20 episodes left.

What @BABYMETAL said.
MHA initial volumes all are above 1 million. But that doesn't mean the newer volumes will hit that number. Same for KNY or any series.

 

[CuriousReborn]

Top 5 volumes are:
OP
OP
SNK
SNK
Kingdom

 

[Ctkk]

yes

I don't think it's the link, it's the table itself that's broken. The title and page seem correct.

 

[CrimsonEpitaph]

Just because Kimetsu's volume 1 sales are past 300k doesn't necessarily mean the series will pass that point. The volume 1 sales for most series are always much higher than it sells on average or currently sells in a given year (ongoing).

I still stand by my first prediction that Kimetsu will have similar manga success to World Trigger. I think its low-mid 300k's? Once the demon train arc in the anime is adapted then I could see that being the peak point of the manga sales so maybe close to 400k. 500k or 600k sounds unlikely imo.

Yes, but the difference in sales between the first and last volume of Kimetsu are much, much smaller and in MHA's case.

I think we're mixing things here. One thing is whether all KnY volumes can reach something like 500K eventually, and a very different thing is whether they can do it the month they come out.

 

[Caiops]

Kingdom will win this year.

I expect to see Kimetsu getting into the top 10 in the end of the year :')

Just wondering how would 5toubun be in sales if it was serialized in Jump instead Magazine. I mean, is the most popular romcom of this decade (and I've seen Nisekoi, WNL and Kaguya in action, plus TWGOK golden era) and one surprising super-hit in sales...and is in WSM.

Not bashing WSM (my favorite magazine since is the most forgotten one as a magazine: Jump and Sunday have their fanbase, Magazine not); but Jump has always that plus. Even the less popular series from Jump (Jujutsu for example) are more popular than some of the WSM titles that should be popular (looking at Orient, Hitman, and maybe even Eden Zero).

Imagine 5toubun in Jump and WNL in Magazine swap.

PD: I wonder when will be next time we'll be seeing a WSM title in top-10 (betting on Eden Zero in some moment of next decade). For this decade besides Nanatsu and Fairy Tail...there hasn't been any other single title that entered in a manga sales top-10, has it? Meanwhile Jump has had Assassination Classroom, Hero Academia, Neverland, Haikyuu, Kuroko no Basket (is a 10s title for me despite starting in 2009), and even Black Clover, plus I'm confident Kimetsu has the potential of being in top-10 next year.

Wait, are we all talking about Kingdom beating OP in sales? That...can't happen, right? That's...that's crazy...

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

BTW it will be interesting to see the final year ranking since Neverland isn't getting anime S2 until 2020, while Haikyuu and Hero Academia are getting S4 this fall.

I can see Haikyuu getting the Jump silver place, Neverland the bronze, and MHA fourth place.

It'll have to keep up those backlogs the whole year for that, because I don't really see matching it Volume vs Volume.

Even if HQ S4 does air this Fall I dont see it beating TPN because the gap is too big between the two atm, but I do expect HQ to finish no2 in WSJ in 2020

 

[Ctkk]

I just realized that Quintuplets is at 5th and that's hilarious.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I can see My Hero Academia ending in 3rd place over Neverland in the final rank this year though. Backlogs + S4 + Mirio could make the mix.

My bet for end of year is Kaguya dropping and Kimetsu entering in the top-10. And Nanatsu re-entering for OPM or Slime.

I like how you mentioned Mirio even though he is not that popular in Japan, MHA will have like a month and a half worth of anime, don't think that is enough

 

[Nakura]

MHA S4 will come too late for there to be any drastic boost in the full 2019 list. I'm sure it'll help with First Half 2020 though.

 

[Xzone]

Remember that the ranking is between november of 2018 and november of 2019. I don't think that Haikyuu and MHA S4 bost (if they have one) will be counted this year.
