New spin-off for Nanatsu no Taizai in Shônen Magazine Edge.

 

[jagman1x3]

I thought Seven Days was just an LN adaptation of Ban's side story with a bit of extra content, so is this an adaptation of an adaptation of something we already had a manga for...? Not that I"m complaining I guess, that was probably the best part of the series. Might read it even though I dropped 7sins a while ago.
Also, does anyone even still read Edge?

 

[Leoat12]

The moment I put my eyes on it I thought it will be great. This is the best part of the entire series. They are just adapting again? Well, let's read again!

I stopped caring when they axed the skyward saga of kain

the only manga I cared about is the only manga they have ever axed

Huh, didn't even know they canceled that. I read the first couple chapters and downloaded the first volume but never finished it. I did see an Edge issue at the store the other day and flipped through it, it was a lot bigger than I imagined (like 8-900 pages) but they seriously need actual artists in there. Everything in it is way too amateurish, giving new people a chance to get serialized is great and all but I'm not paying for a magazine where all the art looks like crap. Maybe the 7sins spinoff is just a desperate attempt to get part of an established fanbase to buy it. Or just them trying to get a spinoff in every magazine they've got, I think we're down to just Sirius by now.

 

[Mammo]

Sirius are doing quite well, new stuff are becoming hits, so I don't think they will start bringing over spinoff from the main magazines any time soon

Slime manga sell like 10x better than the novel it's based on! is this normal?

White and Red Blood Cell manga sales increases with each volume (I really like the this trend of educational book disguised as entertaining manga: Dagashikashi, Golden Kamuy....give me more please)

Altair is getting an anime by MAPPA next year, so fujos boost is coming

so yeah, they're doing fine

 

[Torca]

Sirius have AoT spin off though. Sirius specializes in adapting from other media so manga from novels are selling better there. Also, even though they get hits it's one of the lowest printed magazines from big publishers. I don't know if they even print 10k.

I'm touched.... It is very hard for Magazine to put its photo essays aside and promote its own series on the cover for a change, so it is a great honor to Fuuka to do this this time. XD

 

[Doughboy]

Hope Fire Force starts picking up to be on the left side of the rankings, has potential but beginning isn't as captivating as Soul Eater was to me. Fuuka I dropped but I'll watch the anime next month. Kanojo I'm pretty behind

just my luck, If I've said the artist should work with the same writer, kodansha would have found him someone else
well here's for hoping the new work is not part 3 and less of an edgy fest

 

[jagman1x3]

Given the way it ended I actually almost was expecting part 3, that would have kind of been hilarious. Being in Pocket probably means not even Kodansha gives a shit about the new series though.
