Here come the straw man arguments. We're not talking about slavery in Haiti. We're talking about comics from Japan. You say made as if it were past tense. It's not only continuing but the norm now. SJW sensibilities have seeped in and ruined movies and shows at their core. Same with comics and even video games. You call it backwards and that female editors would be progress from you're POV and fine that's your opinion. I can only hope WSJ doesn't capitulate to such opinions. Jump has gotten along just fine doing what they are doing.
This. I would assume the WW numbers would easily add 10M copies on its total. Plus it is one of the if not the biggest seller internationally from Jump...
Not trying to attack anyone but for real, how you guys come up with stuff like these? it doesn't make any sense, how Black Clover is a series that doesn't appeal to Japanese? It's a popular and successful series since chapter 1, it sells over 200k copies per volume, which alone is higher than at least 95% of Magazine and Sunday line up, let alone the rest of the manga magazines in Japan, has a long running profitable anime, game, spinoff that sells decently, but because it doesn't have much fanart on internet it means it doesn't have a estabilished fanbase?
Depends on your reference. In a month? Not anymore since volume 22. In a year? Volume 23 is going do that for sure and maybe volume 24 as well, but after that, there's a high possibility the new volumes won't do it.
I'm talking about overall sales, crossing 200k is something Black Clover do easily, vol 24 was already with 158k in 17 days, it will easily crosss 200k within the fiscal year, and i don't see much reason to not believe that the new ones will do unless there's some Souma level of drop in sales.
Talking about sales;
Your comment is much based in a logic that Shonen Jump is just the same magazine with the same mentality like in 2011/2012, when they're clearly not the same since the whole industry changed quite in these years and Jump is part of it, not something else, i also think a lot of people are used to think SJ editors play childish games as comparing who has the biggest thing in the magazine in order to decide what will they keep on it or not when in the end is about being profitable, not if X manga isn't able to reach what Y did.
I think what he's saying is that the last Haikyuu volume sold quite better than the last MHA volume (TPN too)
Talking about straw man argument, we are talking about Japanese comics, not Western media. And speaking from experience, the east is too goddamn backward compare to the west.
The point is, if you have no idea what you are talking about, then don't use it in your argument.
Im talking about at the moment, not peaks
at the bottom, there's a selection of numbers for each significant number, like 30, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500.
I kind of got curious about this and now I wanna compare Black Clover's recent sales with some of the highest selling manga from other magazines.
Pretty sure at no point in my comment did I mention WSJ will do anything with BC because of its declining sales. That's just the insecurity of fans being projected onto my comments. I can't speak for what others said.
