Wow, that was a super fast turnaround! I'm really interested to see what this sequel will be about, thankfully the wait isn't very long at all
I mean, they probably want everything to be a "banger", but it's not really up to them. It's mostly up to luck, author recognition and promition success. If they want a surefire hit, they'll go with a mangaka that did something big in the past. RIght now, they have plenty of really successful manga that were top 10-15 sellers in previous years like Kingdom, Tokyo Ghoul and Terra Formars. Their upcoming hit is Golden Kamuy, it's growing a lot. If I had to guess, they'll focus on giving Kaguya-sama an anime and who knows what their plan is after that.Was expecting Full Drum to go. I wonder if we're gonna get a new banger series soon, that will get really popular. I can kinda smell it in the air, but not sure which direction it's coming from.
Try checking out the series called "Diner" first chapter here, I think this can become kinda big. It got lead color even though it was only at chapter 13.Was expecting Full Drum to go.

I don't know what that is, but it looks great, or at least it could have potential, thanks for pointing this one out.Try checking out the series called "Diner" first chapter here, I think this can becoming kinda big. It got lead color even though it was only at chapter 13.
Helvetica looks pretty interesting too.

Umaru is definitely an exception. The series as a whole is pretty divisive; both the "love it" and "hate it" sides are pretty vocal. However, it sells well taking the subject matter into consideration, and definitely moves merchandise. I'm not sure what the first season's sales were like, but I've even seen people who don't watch anime or read manga with Umaru merchandise just because the hamster form is cute or sharing "this is so me" type memes on social media.I don't even think Aoyama-kun was a 20k seller before the anime and it might not even reach that status even after the anime, what a waste of resources, talent and time. There are other more deserving series from the magazine that could've used an anime, I mean, heck, since the production committee was Pony Canyon, they could've even funded an adaptation for something a lot darker from the magazine because they didn't have a problem with being on the production committee for Shingeki no Kyojin.
Speaking about anime adaptations for things from this magazine, almost everything seems to get really bad adaptations from YJ, which is really a shame. Some people say the only exception so far is Umaru, but I wouldn't know since that isn't my thing so I haven't read that or watched the anime for it.
Can Golden Kamuy also break the curse or whatever it is, I'm actually fairly optimistic about the upcoming anime, even if it is from a new studio. I think they'll do a good job on it. I wonder if it will have 2 cours, I guess it will come down to the time block they air the anime in. Actually, after looking more closely at the staff, I can say it's actually pretty decent, even pretty good. I will be worried if the anime only has 1 cour, especially if it ends up having a ridiculously fast pace.
And honestly, it's only a matter of time until we get a Kaguya anime, I feel like the fact that Viz licensed the manga is also a sign. I honestly don't even know who I would want to adapt this one, maybe Shaft?
