Hmm, not great but not abysmal for Tsumiki. Weird that call of the night is so far down too,

little mistake for Call of the Night

Other Sunday debuts that were missed:
Kimi wa 008 #30 - 65th ; 112th
Last Karte #8 - 79th ; 96th
Shiroyama to Mita-san #10 - 135th ; 183rd
Red Blue #9 - 203rd ; 292nd

Red Blue is doing exceptionally well in most digital stores. It's doing better than most of the series outselling it on Shoseki (up to Ryuu to Ichigo). I don't think Shoseki gives it the best image just saying.

Certainly survivable numbers for Tsumiki, hope it can grow.

I just wish more Red Blue chapters were translated

Ooh, any way to see how Sunday series do digitally overall? I've wondered this since Tatari won that one Apple award some time ago. It does ass in physical, but clearly there's something there for it to win that. I need it to survive, goddammit

Forgot to post this here.

Some time ago there was a website that was gathering info from digital stores as well as Shoseki & Oricon, but I'm not sure if it's still up (can't find it right now) so the only way for us is to look at how manga ranks in digital stores, if they have rankings.

Red Blue is/was pretty high up on Amazon, Bookwalker, Renta, eBookJapan & Cmoa. Not sure if some others, for Honto, Ameba & Rakuten I couldn't see it in their rankings. It's just that compared to other manga I can see that digitally it's punching waaay above the scores shown in Shoseki, it's getting frequent promotions in the Sunday Webry app, and it's doing there fantastically too so the series overall is doing great. Hopefully, Namikiri sticks to it unlike some basketball story and they will get an adaptation cause it's a quality story that should massively benefit from bigger promotion.

Tatari looked to have a mediocre score in Amazon & Bookwalker last time I checked but it was still better than Te no Geka. Given that it's also doing better on the Webry app, I assumed it would be safe & in need of axing a series they would cut a hand rather than a whole cat but if the rumors of the previous EiC being an author of it I wouldn't be so sure now

Utsuranain-desu 1st chapter is basically its oneshot with some small changes to make it a better serialization, the counselor design didn't change and thank god for that cause I love it.

It got a warm reception, I can see a lot of Sunday-related mangaka hyping it, hoping it catches the interest of more people.
