I feel SxF’s peak might be higher than AssClass, if only because it has a wider appeal with its premise. When it does get an anime, I think it will do better than AC in terms of exposure and boost.
To be honest, it's anyone's guess. xD
I dont recall AssClass making the charts boring, and it seems unlikely the same would happen for SxF if its anime comes as soon as people want (fall or winter this year), and not at the end of its life cycle where all these legacy volumes would clog the charts like KnY. KnY is, while good for this year, just shows how much money WSJ left on the table for the past few years (consider now its playing catch up with all this merchandise its trying to get out but cant cause Making Product is slow (example, video game on ps4 is coming so late) and you dont know if its a fad, and the loss in all the years worth of Live Events w cast, Radio shows, roadshows, CDs, collaborations with all sorts of media through the years, Stage Plays, Live Actions, like Haikyuu!!, AssClass, and others have gotten throughout their manga lifetimes) it will ultimately be interesting to see if no manga but only an ongoing anime (hopefully????) can keep it afloat like Naruto Shippuden has remained a thing even now (with new arts and merchandise and games) even in the age of Boruto.
I don't recall Kingdom or Slam Dunk backlog made the sales charts boring before.
I said - OP caliber sales, which means you'll see constant growth for months till it eventually peaks out. Meaning how many ever volumes there are at that time for SxF would all probably feature in the charts constantly.

Pretty sure NO ONE expected KNY to explode the way it did. So any plans to make it into a huge media franchise probably didn't exist until mid-end last year. S8 and the money they invested into trying to promote that also probably put them on the backfoot.
Curiously enough, Dr.Stone is actually a good adaptation.
Was it? I remember people calling it a slideshow anime. I could be wrong.
Probably Dr.Stone(though despite the lack of a lot of movement, I still don’t think it’s low budget).
Jojo's bizarre adventure season 1 (parts 1 & 2)
Dr. Stone is a huge slideshow. It didn't help that the first few arcs are slow and are more science class than science adventure.
So they will be catching up quickly.
With over 2M+ views on this thread alone, I do have to wonder if Viz/M+ Staff are secretly spying on us.
Viz probably decided to pick up the license when work for Chapter 1 was already done, hence first releasing that and later leaving all the rest of the work to Viz. The same translator says it was a lot of work with short notice. Basically:
that makes sense. The name change is kinda weird as well unless Newkerzy's theory is right
The Vigilantes thing is not that hard to figure out, since there are only a few possibilities.
