Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

Pre - orders can be called an early indicator. While one can draw few conclusions about how many copies will be sold one can determine demand. Clearly there is more demand for Medaka Box. More people have been willing to part with their money before they were actually able to own than were willing to for Akeboshi. Considering how low Akaboshi is it would not surprise me if it misses the top thirty altogether. Considering Medaka in relation to Mago, Reborn, and Toriko there is a possibility it could rank as high as the top fifteen.

Issue 36 - 2009 (NOT CURRENT)



It's been a while since I've posted a scan, but now I'm in Japan and I JUST bought a scanner. So expect HQ weekly cover scans... WITH the (IMO) oh so important spine. Here is a fill that I did of issue 36.

In case you gave a shit about the 1996 scans I was doing, those are put on hold as I didn't bring them to Japan.

I also have some surprise covers coming up. So look forward to that.... or not.

If you have any scanner advice or criticism, please send it my way.

hei i check the amazon links provided here to follow the sales ranking in real time (keep refreshing lol) curious.

At this time Medaka vol 1 is #162, Akaboshi vol 1 is #839.

I wonder what is the actual sales figures. Like what is the gap between #2000-ish to #800-ish.

Thanks a lot!
I'll be expecting to see those covers, specially the old ones.

I've been trying to find or make an archive of all the old covers(1990~2005) of WSJ in High Quality, but didn't have much luck so far...

Can't wait to see what you have for us WSJ fans XD

Cover of Mago's drama CD, out 12/18

I love the cover to Mago drama CD, but I don't think that's the finished cover, Drama CD usually has more elaborate cover. BTW, the raw for jump are a bit late today isn't it?

I'm doing the same thing here lol.
Now Akaboshi is just a little below #1000... it's just like I said, it keeps going up and down. Not to say #800 is a good number but hey, at least it's not below the 1000s all the time.

Is there any chance there aren't many people buying it because it was put under the Boys Love cathegory? :P
(just kidding, but seriously, what the hell were they thinking)

That would be awesome if someone kept those old magazines around but unless they are a die hard Shonen Jump fan like myself and never throw away the magazines then I dont see that happening. I would love to see some of the covers from the 1980s when Dragonball was running.

More Covers

2009 - Issue 36 (Better Image)


2009 - Issue 43


Here is a better version of that issue 36 I posted earlier. This one is not as bright and more similar to the actual colors of the cover. I also cleaned the spine and some of the front. Please replace the previous one with this version.

More to come soon, including that issue 42 that is missing.

That's what a store in Japan called Mandarake is for. A few of those 1980s Dragonball covers.... just wait a little while.

I could contribute a fair number of 04 covers if they are needed...but my scanner ain't that great. Nevertheless, if there's demand I'd get down to business this weekend. : )

I like it, something manga/anime related that shows a little restraint

Another update on Amazon's pre-order ranks:

Medaka Box 1-128

Akaboshi 1-........521

How is it even possible that something oscillates so much in a single day? That's it, I'm not following these numbers anymore. :P

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

You're rigth it's to unstable to be trustable we will need to wait until actual sellings start to be sure about the situation.

 

[Estranho]

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

For we have this oscillation, probably the numbers are small. This way, any single pre-order makes a high difference.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

Judging the future of a manga on a vol. 1's sales is a dangerous prospect. Considering that the series isn't established yet and things are always changing, it really isn't something I rather follow too seriously. (BTW: for whomever was asking about first volumes of the '04 series, I remember based on S-Manga...when it was still running...that Gintama didn't even make the top 20 Shueisha series with it's vol. 1...then again, Reborn and D.gray did.)

 

[Koshi_Inaba]

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

^Don't forget Mago and Toriko, both sold high from the beginning like reborn and D.gray

How well does Jaguar sell by the way? I've always wondered about that That, and the fact that there is no anime when Gag Manga Biyori has one.

 

[Xadyu]

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

After Jaguar's Live-Action Movie and Flash Series, it actually got an Anime Movie in January of this year, with an simultaneous release of an straight-to-DVD OVA

At least, that's what I remember. About the sales.. I have no clue.

Just a little under 150k per volume, iirc.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

By gag manga standards Jaguar is a best seller.

Volume one is only worthwhile as a bench mark. Most of the new hits have all started out in the same range, 30 - 60,000 copies in the first week. Bakuman is an exception, since it was by such a famous duo it started out much higher than any of the other new series. There are exceptions, of course, a few current series started out lower but caught some breaks in the TOC. Psyren comes to mind, consistantly having multiple series that polled lower.
