-My Hero Academia has had possibly its best chapter in this 2020
-No One Piece this week
-Some veterans like Haikyuu are over, so practically is just Dr.Stone
-Supposedly this week there aren't any major J+, V-Jump or SQ titles

Next week rank is going to be fun to watch

If I had to compare and describe this arc to Kamino, the latter was a rollercoaster that went straight to 11 from the beginning, whereas this arc is a rollercoaster that starts slowly and suddenly went to 11, before slowing down, and then going back up to 11 again. Rinse and repeat.

Both are amazing though. What I especially like about this arc is how it can be both predictable and unpredictable at the same time. This is best exemplified by the latest chapter.

More important, with Black Clover getting the poll results next week and Kimetsu in October, only Dr.Stone is left, right?

And My Hero Academia which most likely in December

 

[Ryuusei]

Another million added just like clockwork lol. It's good stability.

And My Hero Academia which most likely in December

Unless COVID-19 cases surge again in Japan, then yeah it should be announced in December or January. It's pretty much tradition at this point for My Hero Academia's poll to be announced in that period.

 

[Rouk']

So, considering these 28m units in Japan, the 5m that Viz announced a few months ago and that it sold-through at least 2.5m in France alone, we can say that HeroAca has more than 35.5m units in circulation.
This means it beat Dr. Slump, Saint Seiya and Shaman King whose last known data according to wikipedia is 35m.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I still wonder when or if Jujutsu Kaisen anime will get a second PV. It has had only the one from May and anime is coming in 1 month.

I'm confused with Shaman King numbers. I recall having read 50 million copies in some sites but I'm not sure.

Speaking of numbers, did I miss the Oricon numbers for the week? They seem to be out now.

The movie is going to get those backlogs back up in no time.

Think the most exciting part is we will actually see a volume or multiple volumes hit 4 million on Oricon.

 

[Thundercat27]

if just because it doesn't have to deal with Oda's gibberish story pacing and panelling.

While I agree with your point, the way you presented it is pretty unpleasant.
I prefer the way Kumeta briefly talked about this.

Also shilling Kakushigoto. I think this is the best, most honest down to Earth depictions of mangaka, without the Shounen-ified of Bakuman nor whatever the fuck TPGW trying to do.

looks like Manga+ now has that fanservicey dentist series that's been doing well on Jump+. I guess it'll probably be another 2 chapters per week thing to catch up like Kaiju was and WEH britannia is doing, I'm glad they're building the roster back up again.

Yup, I'm happy that more content from Jump+ is coming to the service. I was sad to see that for a long time titles from Jump+ were only coming to the spanish side but I'm glad to see they are coming back.

53 million, but apparently that’s counting all the different editions?

Different editions & spinoffs included iirc

 

[Wookitake]

'Phantom Seer' is a bad name. 'Seer' sounds too weird.
But I hope it's good!

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Jesus, what a bad name, Honomieru Shounen sounds so much better than "Phantom Seer", but well, wishing the best, would be cool if the last GFC winner ever end up being a success.

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

This reminds me of Masaoki Shindou and Makes me wonder when is he getting his serialization? Has there been any news about him lately?

 

[savethecat]

I would say Phantom Seer is a lot better than the direct translation The Faintly Visible Boy
