Was sold on F-Ken from the first few pages. Really do want him back asap.

F-ken was great. I think turning this into a series would be hard without some major changes though.
It's really nice the Viz subscription site isn't restricted to cards issued in America

Spy x Family #01 : 300 000 (print)

Not sure about this translation, but is he meaning series reached 300.000 copies in print on the 22nd day after its release? If so, this is seriously amazing knowing this started with 50k as the initial print number.

Yep this is what he's saying.

 

[Koni]

That is insane. Just when I thought Spy x Family’s numbers couldn’t keep surprising me. (FFS, it’s beating most of the Jump magazine already!) When was the last time a manga’s Vol 1 sold this well?

 

[animeexpert]

F stands for fetish.

Man he really had to sike us with that kind of manga. Smh

MHA was able to hit 1 million by Vol 2.

 

[animeexpert]

Idea for discussion, what manga in the Jump Canon do you guys think has the best designs? Not artwork, just designs.

My boi boruto

MHA and AC what came to mind

I'm really curious if SxF would be selling even better if it was in WSJ.

Hypothetically speaking, could they transfer it to WSJ? Has something like that ever happened before?

I doubt they would ever transfer it. In fact, they need it to try and boost the Shonen Jump Plus's popularity! Jump+ just had another 2 newbie bombs in sales in the August volume batch, and Moon Land, Curtain's Up, Spotless Love all seem like busts and could be axed soon. Arata Primal and Abyss Rage are also bombing in sales, but they do decent in the Jump+ app views, especially Abyss Rage.

If it didnt happen with Jigokuraku I dont see it happening with anything else

Nope, dont think a transfer like that has ever happened.

 

[Brizzi]

Welp, I just hope Daijiro could get a hit next try
Saiyuki, despite its mistakes, was a great read.

SxF numbers are really amazing!

I don't think this would be transferred to Jump as there is most likely a good reason for why it was published in Jump+ and not in WSJ. I see more Jump+ as an extra digital magazine in which authors are able to publish works that might not necessarily do as well as in WSJ or other magazines by Shueisha. The fact that most content published on the site is also way more mature - like Kiss x Death, Jigokuraku, Tenjin, Firepunch, Karada Sagashi than what's published in WSJ also plays on which magazine a series gets placed in.
I think Jump + is also a good platform to allow authors to publish series in even after falling a few times in other magazines or in other magazines by Shueisha. Each magazine they sell have a specific target audience and some things in there do or don't do that well and publishing Endou Tatsuya in Jump + might have been a way for him to serialize him again after the two series he's published in Jump SQ before didn't[t do well and rather than put him in SQ again they might have wanted to publish him online to increase who has access to the series.

For more information on Jump+ this site https://lab.appa.pe/2017-06/jumpplus.html says the monthly active user base of the app/site got multiplied from it's launch in 2014 to 2017.
There is also a graph (last one on the page) that makes a comparison of the ages that access the site the most and it clearly says that the people that access the site the most are people in their 20's followed by people in their 30's which could explain why most of the content published is usually more mature than what you can find in SQ, WSJ.

Can anybody explain to me why a Black Clover spinoff exists in which Asta tortures his own penis and takes a shit the size of a mountain?

Are you talking about Asta-kun Mahoutei e no Michi (Saikyo Jump's gag spinoff)? From what I remember Vol 1 bombed in sales, but I have no idea how manga operate there.

Is this Black Clover SD? It’s because the kids who like Saikyo Jump are really into CBT and scat, naturally.

But honestly just because crude humour does super well in that mag

Kids don’t really buy volumes, so my impression is that series exist for the magazine over all, and the spin-offs more so to broaden franchises
