Damn, I need to buy the limited edition of volume 10... the OVA's gonna be awesome.Long Terraformars BUGS2 2620 version, with tv series moment at the end.

Tokyo Ghoul : 13 volumes : 7,200,000
Much better, since a one mln increase with a new volume would have suggested the previous volumes had a small additional print. Tokyo Ghoul did 2mln already and its only halfway done with anime.Tokyo Ghoul : 13 volumes : 7,200,000
This is something I've been meaning to post about for the past several weeks. I think there is alot of untapped potential and money to be made. Yhe stories in these magazines are of the genre that attracted people to anime and manga back in the day. I'm a volume guy though and ai believe at least four of those series should be released here in the next year and can turn a profit. Tokyo ghoul, bior trinity, liar game, jumbor and peace maker need to be released. I know they won't do Kingdom since it's too long, so they should jump on Gunjou Senki. Awesome premise that will draw readers in.You know, it would be pretty cool if Viz would start up a sister online magazine for Weekly Young Jump. It can contain series from both Young Jump and Ultra Jump and I could see it being pretty popular if they get the line up right. To be honest, it will be much better and popular than the one they already have for Shonen Jump due to the prevalence of good series that would appeal to Westerners in Young Jump than are in Shonen Jump.
A good one for an English version of Weekly Young Jump could include;
Kingdom
Tokyo Ghoul
Terra ForMars
Gunjou Senki
Kakuriyo Monogatari
Liar Game
Rikudo
Destroy and Revolution
Biorg Trinity
JoJoLion
Jumbor
Dogs: Bullet and Carnage
Peace Maker
That's 13 series, only 2 more than the English Weekly Shonen Jump has (but it about to greatly increase due to their recent news to start previewing every new series in the Japan version).
It has some already very popular titles that should attract audiences like; Kingdom, Tokyo Ghoul, and Terra ForMars (which just so happen to also be the most popular of the magazine in general), some series by mangakas who have had previous success in the US like; Kakuriyo Monogatari and Jumbor. Having a JoJo series as well will help with the current JoJo boom. As well as lesser known titles that could become serious hits in the western market.
