not a good start for Lovelock of Majestic War

 

[Aipom626]

Amagami's first volume has already been reprinted

Good for the author, not a huge fan of the series but hey, more hits is a good thing.

Seems like Shonen Magazine just can't do wrong at the moment when it comes to romance or veterans, but Amagami success was written all over it since the serialization announcement, the reaction of the one shot was really positive.

As much as it pains me to bring it up, the first volume for A Saint Joined My Party from Azu (author of Tejina Senpai) seems to be struggling at the moment. Other than that though, the veterans and romcoms are doing pretty decently.

Good start for Amagami-san

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

A bit of embarrassing performance for Lovelock after the hype created by SM about it, it will chart for a 2nd week but i doubt is going to even reach 10k, interesting enough, different than on Shoseki, Kenja ga Nakama is performing better than Lovelock on Amazon, both digital and physical, better score & reviews too.

Yes but not very surprising it's just one of the "Darks" mangas that the magazine loves but rarely work

Our great god Kibayashi is making his grand return to WSM

And the veterans just keep coming back, that was fast for the Days author.

Edit: And also, more romcoms, current WSM is basically made of romcom & veterans, which is working for them.
