He was in third place in the first rank, if he falls on the botton I withdraw what I said.
KNY effect. Not surprising.
Yeah, I would definitely say Mashle is safe but Moriking still has its ways to go. A good start (which I’m happy about since I’ve been really enjoying Moriking) but that doesn’t mean it will automatically stay in as a result of one good ranking. Also, I would say for the most part, Undead Unluck is also safe.
That Out of UU Vol.2 right after #320 feels so much like "whups, we are out of volumes to keep up the sales". I think they are really underprinting the new series and just go bit by bit weekly to not sit on many volumes not brought.
Don't you mean 30k Club? I remember that one, can't remember a 20k club one.
Undead will definitely hit 20k within a month. Yozakura is a different story.
It'll reach 20k eventually. WIthin a month? That's debatable, which is everyone's point.
There's one fanart with almost 1k likes, that's impressive lol
We said the same thing about Kishi, and look what happened. Hell, I'd even go so far as to say that S8 had a better first chapter than AT did. Although, I admit that might not be a popular opinion.
counter argument is the sequel To Love Ru Darkness sells more than To Love Ru at launch (despite transfer to Jump SQ), now you can argue that it collides with Season 2 of To Love Ru, but its content is from the original To Love Ru, and not darkness content.
I'm talking this exactly about Kentaro Yabuki because he's a different case of Kishi, he's one of these authors that are in this industry for a long time while doing a lot of different stuff and being successful in most of the cases, which makes his identity more connected to his name and art instead to 1 big series, despite the real big name Kishi only did Naruto for his entire career and it didn't help that he wasn't even the artist for Samurai 8, which is more of a big deal than people think it is (Boruto also suffered from this).
So if S8 had been drawn by Kishi, you think the series would have survived?
I don't think Kishi is really comparable here. Even if you exclusive TLRu (which I wouldn't based on how involved he seems in the creation) Yabuki has had Black Cat and Franxx earlier to grow on fan base for himself rather than for an individual series. Like Shinuki brought up with Takahashi and Mashima who have both grown their own fan bases rather than just fans of their series. Kishi only has done Naruto and some one-shots so I don't know how many people are Kishi fans rather than just Naruto fans that didn't care for his new series.
