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

That's a random number with no evidence or data behind it. Most of Kimetsu's sales have come from physical copies.

If the new generation was indeed an audience that preferred digital, they wouldn't wait in lines during a pandemic to buy physical volumes.

If anything Kimetsu's popularity just provided a new wave of opportunity for physical volume sales.
Considering all of this talk about demon slayer, do you think this era may usher in a renaissance for shonen jump. On top of demon slayer doing the impossible I feel this opens the door for new series potential. It is said by many that demon slayer has brought in more females and young children to jump after its serialization due to it’s popularity. Many people in Japan are extremely hyped about jujutsu kaisan and are kind of seeing it as shonen jump’s next big hit. While I’m not saying that jujutsu will even get half of demon slayers 2020 sales, one can think that this can cause more shonen jump series to break the 10 million mark that are not one piece. I can see this happening as the 3 2018 manga (chainsawman, jujutsu kaisan, and act age) can all bring in a set demographic. Jujutsu kaisan kind of bringing more shonen battle lovers (May even get to the point of having mass appeal) to jump with it being shonen jump’s new mainstream battle manga and keeping the demon slayer and one piece fans to keep reading jump. Act age brings in the more vanilla manga readers (not really into battle shonen and more into drama) people to jump with its more realistic and drama driven plot while also appealing to the core audience with it’s slight exaggerations. Finally chainsawman can pull in an older audience who likes seinen action series with chainsawman having more violent content, suspenseful storyline, dark humor, and more realistic art style. I may be reaching and this is probably an extremely bad take but lets be real there is a chance my prediction is correct.

Huh, interesting image all right. Jujutsu's CP's tend to lean into the horror side of the work, so seeing Akutami use an LCP to embrace a frantic pop art piece is def a change from the usual.

I love when Akutami makes a more fun and laidback LCP/CP, their cartoonish art is great.

The composition of the key visual is fine, but I have to point out how Itadori's design looks much better on the second image, I don't know if it's the scars under his eyes that are doing the trick or something else.

Someone knows what that "1" means?
1st key visual.

Damn, we already have full blown Chainsaw Man scans before the ToC leaked.

CSM leakers are a fast bunch.

Damn, for some reason this makes me excited. I don't know if it's just me or just the fact that I'm not used to Jujutsu getting this much stuff lol.

Hmmmmm.
Just allow me to insert a little meme right here.

Now this is a good CP. Wasn't too big a fan of the cover, but seeing this color page even makes me (a non-reader) want to check out the series. Curious to see if Jujutsu's anime will have a big impact on its sales.

Overall i think people are taking too much for granted the "JJK explosion" as if is just already a fact the series will be the next big thing when you never know, specially when you can't even take for granted that the production quality will be always on point like it was with Yaiba at the time since it's Mappa.

Quite underwhelming after the first one.
