Moderator Notice:
Henceforth, I will be deleting posts that complain about Weekly Shonen Jump having too many/not enough gag/battle/exorcism/sports/etc series.

These posts are not insightful, and do not meaningfully contribute to this thread. Also, this decision is not up for discussion, so posts discussing this decision will also be deleted.~ Halloween

The Promised Neverland has 21 million copies in circulation.

Important to note that this includes digital, all the reprints up to yesterday and it's the worldwide circulation.

 

[Gilroygladbouy]

Haters will say Water Dragon Jutsu didn't exist.

I’m not hating on Naruto. I’m just saying its kind of funny to think about how in the beginning the ninja seemed pretty realistic to what we expected but looking at the end, well, not exactly lol. I absolutely love Naruto but it’s pretty ridiculous to think about how we went from how to climb a tree to casually dropping meteors.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I think we are getting soon new MHA numbers with the new volume. Since Neverland has jumped to 21 million and MHA has been selling more than TPN this year, I'm expecting 28 million at least.

 

[Koni]

I wouldn't put CSM into exorcists category, and Yozakura not really under gags.

Also, the rest is not battle shonen, as we also have stuff like TPGW, Haikyu!! and Act Age among the "rest" besides WNL.

The question marks were for series where I'm not sure that they fit there. Also, yeah, I blanked when i wrote that, thank you for correcting me.

Well, last time the numbers for My Hero were 26 million I believe? This year I think it’s numbers are around 3.3 million if I’m not mistaken so shouldn’t the numbers for My Hero be around 29.3 million?

 

[NeeNeen]

The male protagonist looks just like a young Gid Deviluke

Spoiler

They kind of remind me of the pair from Twin Star Excorcist too (both the art and the description).

So, let's see. For exorcists, we got:
-Jujutsu Kaisen
-Chainsaw Man(?)
-Miitama Security
-Bone Collection
-Ayakashi Triangle

And for gags, we got:
-Mission: Yozakura Family(?)
-Miitama Security
-Agravity Boys
-Moriking
-Mashle(?)
-Moriking
And a few of the upcoming manga.

I heard that Jump's always had a few successful gag manga and Nakano's just trying to fulfill that quota, but... damn. That's up to half the roster with little overlap. Rest is battle shonen, and the one romcom in WNL.

Mitama, Agravity Boys and probably Bone Collection will be gone soon, so it's not like we'll keep this many (also you counted Moriking twice).

Then again, we're getting even more new gag manga in this batch. I guess they're planning to keep trying until they find something that works.

Remember when Goku was training to move a boulder? Good times.

 

[Azure Warrior]

Remember when Luffy never had Haki and struggled to fight Logias? Good times.

 

[Gilroygladbouy]

All these posts are making think about how janked the power levels in these battle shonens get, lol.

 

[AbrahamOmosun]

Remember when Kimetsu was selling 100k per volume? Well I don't since I only started following manga sales late 2019 but still, good times.

The power scaling in One Piece is super tame compared to certain other series.

The power scaling in One Piece is super tame compared to certain other series.

Which is true for now. The best we have are Yonkou like Whitebeard who can destroy entire islands or more if they want to.

Still balanced compared to universal Dragon Ball and Saint Seiya.

Try to be careful with spoilers, guys.

 

[Azure Warrior]

My bad.

By the way, how do you do spoiler tags like those?

Speaking of power scaling

Bobobo is very insane, the amount of reality warping/toon force gags alone makes anyone in the verse close to Arale level.

 

[TxxT]

Not really. Again, all it takes is a handful of fans to bloat the polls numbers up.
If the series has a die hard fan like that crazy Nisekoi fan (I think, this was many years ago) who spent so much money voting for his favorite character in a poll which WSJ had to publicly acknowledge, then it can completely make something seem relevant when it isn't. Online voting is the easiest to get by especially for such unregulated polls.

Fans do a lot more for a lot less

Yep, Black Clover is now ranked No.1 due to its insecure western fanbase lol

For some reason I was expecting this to happen. Since it was revealed this is a public poll, it's a good chance for every fanbase to get its fave to the 1st place to matter what.

Not unless I make Mitama No.1

In all honesty, poll rigging of any kind out of spite or desperation is sad.

Crap like this makes me ashamed to be a black clover fan. Ever sense the series started getting a bit of praise the fan base has been toxic and annoying.
