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

Yeah. This is what I was getting at. That’s why a lot of people, including myself, think being in the lineup of the main magazine would do the series a better favor than it would in digital. The social media buzz is great, nonetheless. It’s doing a good job of promoting the series, but it might not reach the heights it would have if it was serialized in the main mag. Only sales will tell later if this is another big hit.
It would be better for the series, but the goal is to be better for Jump+.

The only way the platform will grow is if they release hits on it. Japan is very behind the times when it comes to digital, so they have to do things like this if they're ever going to change.

It's akin to Netflix having Stranger Things, or Disney+ having The Mandalorian. You have to give a reason for people to use the service.

Kaiju No.8 is one of those reasons.

Well, hopefully it will become one of those reasons. Currently, the big reason is Spy x Family. Which I feel might be a sigh of relief for the company, now that their biggest series isn’t an ecchi harem. Nothing against WEH, but IMO think it sounds a lot more enticing to market Jump+ using Anya as a sort of mascot, from a business standpoint.

Isn't SpyXFamily on its way to outsell per volume everything in WSJ bar One Piece.

Isn't SpyXFamily on its way to outsell per volume everything in WSJ bar One Piece.
SPYxFAMILY was the second fastest-selling title in all of Shueisha only behind Assassination Classroom, and having it now 4 million copies for 4 volumes we know it has surpassed already the pace AC had, given this one had 3.6 million copies (by Volume Obis) in circulation by the time Volume 4 went on sale. Of course, we know it's not an exact 1 million per volume for SPYxFAMILY because of the data we're aware of, which is more than a million for the first 3 volumes and a little less for the 4th one. So we have 3 options:

One is to actually say that SPYxFAMILY is ahead of every single current Weekly Shonen Jump title compared to when those had 4 volumes out (with maybe the exception of ONE PIECE given we don't have exact clear data on its copies by Volume 4 but doesn't show indications of it being 4 million, although it did have 6 million copies by the time it reached Volume 6): Haikyu!! had 1 million copies, Hunter x Hunter had 3.7 million, My Hero Academia had 1.5 million, The Promised Neverland had 1.1 million, Black Clover had less than 1.6 million (number given by Volume 7), and the rest we know about so no need for me to list them since they're all currently below that.

The second one is to keep in mind that Volume 4 of SPYxFAMILY is not exactly 1 million copies and not say that its volume/copies ratio is ahead of every Jump series since it's not 1:1, but quite a good amount of them. We already know its print is at the level of some series such as Haikyu!!, The Promised Neverland, My Hero Academia or One Punch Man.

The third one is to ignore this fact, consider that every volume equals to a million copies, and confirm its ahead of every single series in Jump right now in volume/copies with the exception of ONE PIECE and Hunter x Hunter. I would count The Promised Neverland or Kimetsu no Yaiba here but they're not running anymore.

Another great chapter for Kaiju. I enjoyed the comedy bits in this chapter, it was done well. Hopefully it ends up being a pillar for Jump+, alongside Jigo, SxF & WEH. I would like to see a sports series from Jump+ eventually.

There is (sort of) an ongoing popular sports series at Jump+, Boukyaku Battery.

Kaiju no 8 is real good, but yeah I don't see it as something that should've ran in regular Jump, take chapter 2 for instance, it was way longer than your regular Jump second chapter, the freedom of being on the web is more ideal for this series just from that imo.

there was also a second colour page near the end that regular Jump probably wouldn't have had and I felt added to the scene.

About chainsaw man, do you think the manga is ending or is it just a troll by the author?
I read everything fujimoto wrote, all the one shots and fire punch.
And from the story beat, I would say that the story won't get more expanded than it is, that being said, its really hard to predict fujimoto, it will really depend on how the current "encounter" in the manga will go and what will happen afterward. It could end in 10 chapters, it could end in 40.
The only certainty is that it won't be a long-run series.

Anyone got the link to the new site that geocities (site used to tracked sales for Jump titles) transferred to?

http://www.geocities.jp/jump_manga/

It has an end of service notice but I'm pretty sure it was transferred to another site and someone linked it in the other ToC threads.

Eh, the typesetting is quite amateurish compare to most Edited Manga I read.
For me it's forgiven if this was edited by a Japanese with a little experience in english. They knew the anime was big in overseas and I love they're put typesetting in English.

So did AB's sales increases compared to its first volume or did it not increase much?
