"Attainable" lol, I hope you realise the closest anyone ever got in over a decade to OP before KnY exploded was AoT with a little less than 16mln. That's not even half of OP's record.
So imagine if the closer to 38m was 16m (22m difference) now the closer to 65m (Will most likely surpass 70m when year end) is a 27m sales difference with the previous record. KNY is now the Michael Jackson's Thriller of manga year.
So excited to see covers for mash and UxU. It feels refreshing to see the cover for already running series after 4 weeks of new ones.
But unlike kny, one piece was already a one milion seller before it blew up(1.5 milion to be exact), and its blowing up extended into 5 years(2009,2010,2011, 2012,2013),and after that returning to normal levels (not exactly normal but a bit higher)
Top50 first time! Nicely done, UU! Hope to see it break 20k with volume 4 next time which it might do if it has more days to sell.
Yeah, someone said around 18.5k for UU is more likely in 3 days and considering its past 4-5 days sales would not be bad of a result. Would have liked 20k in the first week but 3 days is hard to do so and considering the increase in sales on monday it does feel like sales are generally low on the weekend in Japan.
Grats, now call for 81k so that we can start worshipping you for new series prediciton sales once that prediction comes true. xD
So slightly better than 2.5 Seduction 6 and that position is around 1k-1.5k sales or 2k or so? Still nice for a daily sale for the older volumes.
Which makes SxF even more of a crazy anomaly as it has over 5 million copies out already and its first couple volumes are already past 1 million sales with no anime to have boosted it.
Hope that means Yozakura got one more year in it. I'd like that for the mangaka after reading Poro's diaries and realizing there are no english translations of it after chapter 1. That's just sad though a lot of the U19 series suffer of the past years suffer from that fate. The M+ translation will prevent that from happening agaín though.
Then I think One Piece will have cover and lead color pages in issue #43 to promote Volume 97, Artbook 9 and OP Magazine 10 release. Last year One Piece had cover and lead color pages in issue #44, so it's possible.
I don't think so. Last two times OP had a break and then came back with a cover (like this case would be if issue 43 was a OP cover) we had a message at the end of the chapter saying "OP will be back with cover". This wasn't the case (Also, for example, My Hero Academia also got a lot of bunch happening last week (main manga volume, Vigilantes volume, and light novel 5 volume triple release) and we are getting a Chainsawman cover, not a MHA cover).
Considering the spoilers for next chapter, yep, that dude is FAST with his series. I would have never predicted that as next step of the story, real shocker to me.
Best news to wake up to. Really happy to see Mashle get more love from the magazine and it's a cover and a LCP. Crossing fingers for some great stuff from Koumoto. Good for Undead Unluck as well. But I'm really curious about the second part, I wonder if they already have some in mind or if they are riding on expectations.
I mean, it does say part 1 and those are undoubtedly their biggest hits since Chainsaw Man.
It totally makes sense with the last chapter, things went by way too fast and it feels like the series is going to reach the big battles already.
They'd be damned if they don't give Jujutsu Kaisen the cover before the anime starts airing. If they don't do it on issue #43, they'd have to do it on issue #46 and 3 episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen would have already aired by then. And as Mankichi said, One Piece usually gets an editor note on the chapter before a break saying it will get the cover and the LCP on the issue it comes back.
Mashle Volume 1 FW is 15.458 in Shoseki, and Mashle Volume 2 FW is 25.667 in Oricon/28.680 in Shoseki.
Another possibility might be an MHA-like pacing. I mean, we certainly didn’t expect to get AM vs the Big Bad within the first 100 chapters. Horikoshi was writing the first saga as if his life depended on it, even though he was already more than stable enough at that point. Once we got into the second saga, things slowed down a bit, and Horikoshi was clearly trying out different things, with mixed results as he had more confidence in himself and the series. Even then, the pacing was pretty fast compared to other series, in past or present, as it built up to a large payoff arc which is currently happening now.
Editor note announcing cover and lead color pages not always appears. For example, in chapter 948 they announced the break but not cover and color pages for the return (and it was One Piece 22nd anniversary in that case
)
Fucking fantastic. Can't wait to see my boy Mash on the cover looking like the true king that he is.
