Jaguar was a hit

But it was odd considering that it forever was dead last in the ToC placments.

But it was odd considering that it forever was dead last in the ToC placments.

Jump likes to end the magazine on a high note, so there is a designated gag slot at the end. Also, Jaguar's average print is on a similar level to Black Clover. For a gag manga those are fantastic sales!

I guess KnY really is the Nonko of manga right now.

Jump likes to end the magazine on a high note, so there is a designated gag slot at the end.

Ah yes....Zipman is my favorite gag manga.
But those Pyuu numbers really are quite remakable. If only Oricon and Shoseki recorded the numbers that long ago.

It was a hit from the start, right behind MHA in print figures at the start.

7 volumes
**3,700,000 - My Hero Academmia
**3,500,000 - Pyu To Fuku! Jaguar

8 volumes
**4,200,000 - My Hero Academia
**4,042,000 - Pyu To Fuku! Jaguar

What a beast...

More icons.

I mean Jaguar did great sure but other series like Chinyuuki (4'000,000 with only 6 volumes), ****** Kamen (6'000,000 with only 6 volumes), Sexy Commando (7'000,000 with only 7 volumes) have it beat by a long shot. Also Dr. Slump and Gintama of course did amazing..

But I'm amazed at how these short gag series I mentioned amazed so many sale with so few volumes, and why did they have so few volumes? I mean obviously they got to this numbers with 20+ years sales but I can imagine they at least sold 500,000 per volume each, so why were they canceled? Or maybe the authors just ended them in their own terms.. who knows.

Chinyuki I've read was canceled because parents utterly hated the series.

 

[Blink22]

I’m pretty sure Bobobo was a decent seller as well. Gag series lately have really struggled to sell as well as the others from the past.

If I had to speculate why, I'd say the issue is no one is really willing to spend money on episodic comedy which you can easily find free online. More narrative based comedies like Spy x Family have continued to find success, and Torture Princess gets a lot of view on Jump+ from what I can observe.

I mean it did have an old hag which I saw a long time ago but I couldn't find now lol

I’m pretty sure Bobobo was a decent seller as well. Gag series lately have really struggled to sell as well as the others from the past.

7'000,000 with 21 volumes, also Takeshi sold 8'000,000 with 25 volumes both series pretty much averaging 300,000 sales per volume, not bad by any means but not even close to the short gag manga from the 90s I mentioned.

 

[Rain Spectre]

Dr Stone has hit 4 Million in total copies.

 

[perroloco]

I found it.. I can't remember where exactly this item was put on sale, pretty sure it was an exhibition of MangaTaro's art or something, and I don't know if this specific image was published in WSJ but if it was I can totally see why a lot of parents getting mad over it lol.

I don't understand why people are enjoying Mashle, it's just a plagiarism of Mob psycho 100 and Black clover, same for GOW. it's Attack on titan clearly
I hope agravity and UXU will have success instead

Shonen Jump Heroes and Heroines Poll

34 characters from different works

This is a bit outdated, Bakugou is #4 with 22.876 votes and Midoriya is #28 with 12.373 votes, both from the fifth popularity poll.

 

[shoyoboyo]

That's the version that was made right when sensei dominated the wnl poll, I remember seeing it on /a/ when the results leaked.

 

[Ctkk]

It's still really absurd to compare results from totally different polls.

Copying BC? That's a new argument against Mashle. Wonder if it's because you think magic is solely BC's territory (which it isn't).
