Evolution of Shueisha's Highest Initial Print Runs between 2018 and 2025.

no ruri dragon

she lost, didn't she?

in your path

humiliation ritual

Ah, shonenshit consolewars.
Truly the intellectual zenith of this board.

sales dont matter when we have an anime on the way, cygames will propel us to the very top worldwide soon

sales freefalling heavily since Wano

every single volume still gets 3.2m initial print

Kek Oda' contract must have stipulated it

Reminder that oda specifically stopped shueisha from giving Demon Slayer the highest first print in history.

Was not expecting to see HunterchadHunter so high

This thread reeks of samefag

looking at the previous thread

Why is any discussion involving Akane-Banashi is about shitting on it for various reasons?

shilled toc and cps

schizo fanbase

declining sales which weren't high to begin with

consolewars

There isn't anyone saying anything good about it, discussion threads are dead on arrival dump threads die right after necrobumper gets tired Why have people abandoned it so only the haters are left?

As an early reader, i drop it after the first big competition. Its the bakuman where it peak in the first arc i feel.
But this schizo hater has been here since vol 1. His typing is the same. Sad to see he's still seething about akane.

Previous thread hasn't archived yet, why couldn't you keep it there

Because then it will be

akanebanashilled

fucking garbage

kill yourself akaneschizo

lmao pajeet is seething again

By the way, Kiyoshi will most likely get another color either for WSJ 22-23 or 24. And it's most likely going to be its last color page

And it's most likely going to be its last color page

For that month, yes.

Literally NO ONE under the age of 14 gives a fuck about KaguraHORSEshit

Looking at the first openings of the anime we just had. Mashle was honestly the worst of the lot. Creepy Nuts did absolute magic to the anime. SD's opening was more disappointing if anything

Why do you care? You don't belong to them.

I quit after the timeskip where she was in Paris, I just didn't want to read it anymore.

Vigilantes first episode

Pop Step doing slutty dancing singing cheesy idol songs. Proceeds to get almost raped by three men

Is this the Hetero version of MHA?

Deku's mom is hotter and thinner in Vigiliantes too. Truly the straight man's MHA

>Excluded Stores:

Online retailers (Amazon, Rakuten Books)

Specialty comic shops (Animate, Toranoana, Gamers)

Multimedia-limited editions (e.g., special bundles with CDs/DVDs)

>Note: Titles popular in these excluded channels may appear lower in our rankings

So Animate sales don't count in Shoseki. Since Syd bonuses are Animate exclusive, most fans buy from there instead. That's why Syd numbers look worse than they really are, I bet it's actually doing 10k 3 days, which is very safe.

That would explain everything then. Thank God.

Pop Step alone makes it the straight man option, she just needs to appear on screen. And the rape attempt was mild, not even a tiny bit of undressing

This sounds like cope. How come no one brought up Animate before with other axebaits even when they had bonuses too?

Neither Koichi and Knuckleduster are fujobait

Main girl dresses up like an absolute slut (intentional)

Nyes

always knew something was fishy

it is cope. EXLUSIVE EDITION is not get print that many anyway. its call exclusive. no way its sell 2x than normal edition (3k = normal manga, 6k = exclusive editions)

Good thing we're reading Weekly Ossan Jump.

Reminder that almost everything is getting Animate bonus.

Yeah, Oricon excludes certain stores too, it's why the ranks can be wildly different

No Hakutaku U19 edit just shows that nobody read it. Even Psych House and Murakami had more regular readers on Anon Babble.

Even Psych House

It was forced a lot and some people took the bait.

How come no one brought up the Animate thing before? Why only with Syd? By that logic then everything from Himaten to Akane to KGB to whatever is also underreported since they're all also sold at Animate.

Yeah and many people buy from there because it's usually the only edition with bonus.

Because it's not reported anywhere on that basis. And there are other stores not tracked. It's estimate for the very same reason. There are other trackers like Honto.
What eventually matters is Oricon, tracking almost everything aside from digital sales.

I wonder if Hokazono uses the fact he's a big jump star to get pussy

No, I mean why did not one bring it up prior to Syd? Because if it's been a thing for ages it would have been pointed out with previous axebaits too. The timing just feels suspicious.

Besides, if other axebaits also had Animate bonuses and still got axed, wouldn't that mean that those bonuses are ultimately meaningless?

w-what type of pussy?

It was brought upon. And accepted.

Chainsaw Man cope.

Crazy how the shitposters are always ESL without fail. Like 70% of the posts are just an ESL samefagging and replying to no one over and over again. How did a japanese manga about swords mindbreak them so hard?

also this is a jump thread can csm faggots fuck off

Our

filename

and the A tiers?

New Landlord

Everything comes and goes but One Piece. Truly an icon. Not even Dragon Ball can compete

It was a serious question. Why is Syd getting special treatment from you people?

It was a serious answer. Shoseki not counting a lot of stores is a fact, which is many many years old. You don't have any other daily option to track.

I know that. I mean why was it only brought up with Syd specifically when it's been a thing for ages and theoretically would have applied to other series too and not just Syd.

Most likely because the person who mentioned that learned that only recently so it's kind of revelation to him.

So is it a form of Syd cope then? Wouldn't that, in theory, then also apply to other WSJ axebaits too? And since many WSJ axebaits also had Animate bonuses and yet they still got axed, then those bonuses ultimately don't mean much in the long run?

cute

wanpiss thread is three pages down

Have we seen this much copium for axebait since Red Hood?

Yes. Yes it is.

Did any U19s or other axebait series like I Tell C, Candy Flurry, or Murakami also have Animate bonuses?

Holy newfag

I have no clue because I don't care, this kind of a boost is negligible and usually affects only the weekly distribution within a month. I believe it should be more relevant to veteran series.

Did Asumi also have Animate bonuses?

No

So what did?

not a peep from beethovenfags since chapter twos rank. die in silence and obscurity.

Anon nobody is paying attention to that shit, most series get those types of bonuses and they're irrelevant. Sydfags are just using that to cope

They've stopped pretending to care about it, they were never real fans like sydfags.

most series get those types of bonuses and they're irrelevant

Is it really? I don't know who to believe anymore: them claiming that Syd is underestimated due to Animate not being reported, or others claiming that Animate bonuses/editions are red herrings and are actually irrelevant.

Both are right. It's underestimated but it's not really relevant.

fotm truly describes beethoven to a t.

So basically, yes it's underestimated, but ALL Jump series are underestimates, and it doesn't change the fact that Syd is still fucked?

Can't blame them the recent chapters have been awful

Yes. However, that "fucked" is a bit of reaching as it still might live on a sheer power of nepotism just like Kiyoshi does.

How'd One Piece achieve the highest level of success?

Didn't Syd have a much worse start than Kiyoshi?

How did our WINNERS...WIN?

We will see once oricon is out.

I mean, based on ranks

don't give me hope

World Trigger above DBS, Jojo, Dr Stone and Takehiko Inoue

As could be expected of the best Jump series running right now

Has the most soul.

HxH 4th highest

Literally fucking how?

Yes.

Because it sells 800k/volume easy.

That's not a direct answer

Stil lives in OP's shadow

It is. Nepotism doesn't care about your sales. But it also cannot be estimated. By all metrics it should be axed.

That's literally the entire magazine.

However, if the sales are way too low, even nepotism won't be enough to save it? Like, if it can't even break 10k?

I remember people bringing up konbini which seemingly aren't counted either to cover for the OP massive print that never sells out.

3.2 mil first print

sells 1.2 fm

Oda has ties with the yakuza or something.

We will see. I don't see any point of making predictions but if Kiyoushi, selling 10k, could also be shilled to the top of the TOC and getting CPs, then another nepotism manga doesn't have to be axed even under 10k. Especially since they have some other axebaits to clear first.

oda fears gotouge

Saito is ruining this edit every day he doesn't make a decision.

Tsustsui should probably get at least 5 or 6 volumes even if he sells bad, maybe more. Bokuben was a big series after all, giving him an early axe would be a slap in the face of a successful veteran.

Croc will never ever return.

Didn't stop Tenmaku, Build King, or MMA

What is she even doing anyway? Did she go back to the countryside?
I remember Arakawa did the same but then returned and now she has a couple of series running. Seems like a farmer build makes for a physically strong mangaka btw.

Tabloids said sick family+more than enough money to retire.

Dunno about Tenmaku or MMA but Build King was utterly hideous. It was a literal homosexual tumor laden goblin haunting the magazine. They HAD to axe it.

Oh I remember something along those lines. Damn, I wanted to see the sci fi romcom she mentioned as a possible new series.

I have accepted its fate, I just hope it will be able to wrap up somewhat nicely in the little time it supposedly has left.

Prime example to not make long term stupid contracts
Shueisha is essentially paying Oda twice the amount he should get for OP manga

Saito is different, he won't make the same mistakes as Nakano.

Music manga needs good drama because there ain't no music in a manga. That's what makes a decent non sport spokon.
To be fair though, I'd like to see a high octane, full shonen with no brakes music series. Some sort of unabashed battle shonen like spokon like Blue Lock that borders retardation.

Did the Syd bonus chapter, bonuses, and other promotions even move the needle in Japan? Are they even talking about it more now?

This anon talks about Syd as much as, if not more than, the winner anon talks about his winners.

He moved onto Syd from Himaten and will come back onto Himaten as Syd dies, and once Himaten dies he'll move onto some other romcom
It's obviously just a thing he does to bump the thread

Dude this is a shonen series, there is only so much they can actually show

*our

Some sort of unabashed battle shonen like spokon like Blue Lock that borders retardation

surprised there hasn't been a puro manga in wsj since kinnikuman. could be wildly unhinged with how outlandish and hardcore angles get these days

No, Kiyoshi had worse start but is somehow getting gigashilled now.

where is Bleach?

Himaten is so safe now that even if Syd were to die, I don't have to worry about Himaten for the foreseeable future anymore.

Kiyoshi didn't hit last place lol

I'm talking about Shoseki ranks, not ToC ranks.

axed and forgotten

As if axing flops was a mistake

What changed? Is it really the Trigger anime?

Nakano>>Saito as of now

Seems to me the full retard authors with crazy ass series go to other magazines instead. Wsj nowadays is filled with hacks who try to play it straight but lack the talent to follow through.

back when kiyoshit was where it belonged

Kaiju 8's entire existence exposes the sales metric for how worthless it is. The worst thing to happen to the manga industry since it was formed.

Ultimate Muscle won...

Speaking of winning

Why Syd of all things though?

I'm not even the OP of the thread

Is not even the best manga in sq....

They should’ve let UU run two more rounds instead of rushing it, not like they have any good manga to serialize anyway.

DO NOT YAAAY

I wonder if we will have Witch watch backlogs

the first vol has been in the 400s for a few days, hard to tell if its slowly starting up or if its dead on arrival despite a great adaptation

The manga was pretty popular before Nico became a loli.

Épisode 1 was Sunday right? we still don’t have Monday shoseki to see if the anime had an impact
