20. Kingdom

Damn, Kaguya. That's all I'll say, for the rest is for the Young Jump thread.

World Trigger's an example of a very triumphant return after a hiatus. Quality manga will do that.
Yaiba's been over for at least a month and it's still in the Top 5.
Spy X Family and Chainsaw Man don't got no anime and yet it's in the Top 10.
Undead Unluck is #12, which is... honestly really good, considering the rest of the Top 100.
MASHLE is #23, which is good as well. Combine that with the strongest first volume sales out of the newbies (I think), and you've got a good case for it surviving. Keep going, man. I'll catch up to your manga sooner or later.
Black Clover is #66? Wow. It's the worst-performing Jump manga that made the list, and it surprises me because it was beat out by 4 newbies, and all the veterans hold spots in the Top 20.

I'm not sure what the time intervals for this ranking are (I'm guessing they're not very big, otherwise things would look different) but it's another snapshot at what might be popular enough to survive.

I'm gonna hop aboard the MASHLE train. Hopefully Volume 2 proves to be a good improvement, if so, we've got a hit.

 

[Stivie]

About Shakunetsu no Nirai Kanai, as translated by Nirai Kanai, I think it will be about survival on an island.

 

[Thehoennhippo]

Those four day numbers are not bad except for Mitama! Would love if they could all get to 20k after the second week, though that’s probably less likely in Yozakura’s case.

Welp if the sales didn’t already confirm that UU and mashle is a jump main stay then I guess this does.

I am impressed Agravity is in the top 50. UU, Mashle, and Yozakura are pretty good positions there too.

Idk other than TOC, Agravity seems decently popular in other places. It has the highest amount of reviews of a newbie on Amazon with UU, has good sales, got recommended on a radio program and has a good amount of followers on the twitter page.

Can someone explain to me why Kingdom dropped out of the weekly top ten when it just did its best week of the year on Shoseki? (Estimates would be around 250k/300k for it this week)

Lmao at Reborn being higher than Gintama and Bleach

 

[Minsel]

Lmao at Reborn being higher than Gintama and Bleach

isnt reborn still super popular in japan?

 

[Lil meen]

isnt reborn still super popular in japan?

I guess the older jump manga being on this list may have something to do with the conversation about shonen jump being huge in Japan right now due to the end of demon slayer so they decided to read older jump manga for nostalgia. The one thing I am surprised about is the fact that one piece is so low, definitely expected it to be in the top 5 at least.

 

[tirakai]

You'd think Bleach and Gintama would be a bit higher since they have new anime projects in development.

But I guess people who like reborn in Japan are really, really into it?

To-Love-Ru was forcibly ended because the artist's daughter was kidnapped.

Dunno, tbh the only old manga there are Reborn, Gintama and Bleach. Surprised at no Naruto or AssClass.

 

[Brizzi]

I don't know if this is the proper place, but as there are some Brazilian people here and I dind't find any translation to english, I have translated Heavy Metal Yankees to portuguese.

I'll now translate it to English, but be warned that, as English is not my native language, it will probably have some mistakes or strange phrases. In a couple days I can share it with you guys so everybody who understands English can read it, too.

 

[Halloween]

Guys, let's chill on the plagiarism talk in regards to TPGW. This appears to be a hot topic that is leading to users losing their cool.

I'm going to quote this as a reminder.

 

[Tamil]

Welp if the sales didn’t already confirm that UU and mashle is a jump main stay then I guess this does.

This list doesnt really prove anything when you got Agravity boys making the top 50 and KnY being only top 5 which doesn't make sense given its massive popularity. Prob a small sample size with troll votes idk.

 

[TheEnhancedExe]

I'm going to quote this as a reminder.

Sorry, my bad. I didn't see the post because I was only reading through part of the discussion today, because I wasn't online when the topic was discussed. So I didn't get to the part where you stopped the discussion. Thanks for reminding me.

 

[SiMidori]

yes, this is abnormal..
same goes for Kaguya sama who should have ~100k

Agravity is the underdog of the year. The most underestimated, yet still around to not kick the bucket yet.
