- MoMo -the blood taker- did drop a little bit, nothing major but still noticeable. Considering its replacement in the TOC lately, this can't be good news for it.

- Shuttle Eyes did a lot better than I thought it would. But that doesn't mean anything. It simply didn't do well enough. Normally I would say we should wait until seeing second volume sales, but I don't think that would be necessary. Its TOC replacement will be more telling. That being said I think more than likely it's another failure.
- Tiempo is really most impressive series in here, sales-wise. Not only it stabilized around 5k, it kinda recovered a little bit in the recent volume. But it's also doesn't matter. Simply its sales aren't enough. If only its sales were a little bit higher, it could have a chance. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the first series gone from this bunch. Its replacement in the TOC is the worst and it's the oldest series in here.

- Maku Musubi has the lowest first volume sales among the 2019 new series so far, and it didn't show any growth in its second volume. I think it's done, the best-case scenario would be a move to the online magazine. Though you could never know, Libidors is the best example of it.
v01 - 2019/07 - | 2,962 (03) | 5,467 (10) |
v02 - 2019/08 - | 4,542 (07) |
- Libidors has the lowest sales among this bunch, but I wouldn't be surprised if it outlasts all of them. Its sales aren't much worse than the second volume, but it has been pretty high in the TOC since than. Maybe estimates are misleading and its doing better than it shows, maybe it has stronger than normal digital sales or it could be just because they like the series. There is simply no way to know. Like Shuttle Eyes, its TOC replacement in the upcoming weeks will be more telling.
