axe round comin'

Beethoven and Embers better get that jazz playing

The veterans at Sunday sure are cooking something with their latest serialization.

This is dogshit.

Looks better than anything in nu-Jump

muh. Beethoven looks much better.

This shota(grumpy grandpa) is asking for it.

It has been decades and this douche hasn't improved his art&anatomy by bit.

worse is that his art keeps getting more regressive and simplify(not in the good way) each time he's serialized.

KGB and Kawaguchi's new series leak?

'ts shota and gorilla mommy like Thrüd from SnV

the vomics didn't cover the chapter where Beethoven plays and leaves everyone astonished (also the chapter where the artist's style truly began to shine)

Wasted opportunity, but I hope that with the vomics mean that Beethoven is safe for now.

vomics

safe

lol lmao

his shitposting thread died

Yep, akanehater lost.

Literally every series gets vomics

Don't tell me we have yet another week until leaks

Brain fuck, mixed up two lines in my head
I'm expecting KGB to beat BB for the weekly still, not be first, that'd be fucking ridiculous lmao

Go to fucking sleep right now

Kiyoshi is doing awful and should 100% be axed but god, how have they let Roboco get to 22 volumes when it sells like *that*?

What are 1. and 2.? MHA is obviously one of them.

alright folks, my shoseki calculation program is up, name me the manga you wish to know its estimated sales. preferably the ones that aren't big enough in Oricon so i don't have to double check

Why has Shoseki been posted like 4 times?

大怪獣ゲァーチマ

DGM has always been low in toc OP still exists bro

描くなるうえは/Kakunaru Ue Wa/Now That We Draw
You should specify the input type for the title. Like all language is ok?

You're just putting shoseki's estimates no?
I wanna know how much Katainaka Ossan and CinGrey sold for their new volumes and backlogs.

oh yeah need me the kanji, i'm working for the first request now

ichi the witch had 2 all volumes on backlog, 2 months after.. better hold than ruri who only had 1 volume on backlog..

and hater still propaganda that ichi volume fell out of shoseki???
where is that idiot???

cabinet empyreal fall off real hard, vol 1 did better than UEK (12k vs 10k)

holy hell. Jump plus on the mud. no new hit manga since last 2 year (only GMR and Shiba inu) and no battle manga doing it..

on the shoseki web? they have weekly results archived over to the right of their webpage with monthly and annually/semester
just translate the page you'll see it

called it. drama queen will flop harder than previous volume and not rank at all.

well I want Oricon for a more accurate result, I was checking on Noa Senpai and I just realized it should be big enough to enter top 50 for its newest volume but I can't find any

片田舎のおっさん - Katainaka no Ossan
You'll get both its main manga and its spinoff
ウマ娘 for Uma Musume

Top 50 is Oricon subscriber only. Ranks on their web is Top 30 (and usually a few hours late after the subscriber newsletter).
Smaller manga you need to use shoseki and count that stuff yourself from its estimates.

also if you want the python coding, please point me to some easy shareable notepad so you can search it yourself. you may even improve from it since i just solely rely on chatgpt. sorry if it takes a while, it basically scrapes each of the weekly shoseki links one by one, trying to find the keyword, and then it does interpolation stuff.

Ichi was gonna go out of Shoseki right the day before new WSJ releases rolled out, and like everyone else got pushed up with new release.
Ruri's 2nd volume was released back in August last year dude. No idea what you're on now.

cabinet empyreal fall off real hard

195 9784088842622 天傍台閣　１ 集英社 弓庭史路 2024.12.04

shosekiranking.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-5068.html?sp
It did 3145 first week

125. Empyreal Cabinet 2 - 3,813

You can calculate Shoseki using a regular calculator and basic math

Oricon top 50
Try to find it
mangahelpers.com/forum/threads/weekly-monthly-yearly-oricon-comics-light-novels-ranking.3000431/page-30

that katainaka will take a while, it has this string of week where it keeps appearing and i think some of them may be beyond the number Shoseki can cover (above rank 30)

thank you

true, but if you're curious about not just 1 vol but all of the manga it's easier to automate it

You can just put up Excel, but why would I say no to someone who's trying to help?

but it didnt sure when new come it will have bigger fluctuated numbers..

oh okay, i forgot ruri timeline. bad example.

wait?? then how cabinet got 12k in month??

Ao Ashi does 100k+ during 5 day weeks

Fucking imagine if KGB manages to break 100k during a 3 day week
It won't, let me be clear
But imagine

TIMBERbros...

shosekiranking.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-5068.html?sp

2024年12/9-12/15

Nah, that's second week

shosekiranking.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-5068.html?sp

That was its 2nd week

Empyreal 1st volume fw 5 days

~7125

Empyreal 2nd volume fw 3 days

3813
It'll get the same sales at the end of the month

no. because of UEK. it well below UEK like double down below.

wait how many UEK got??
maybe not fall off, but still declining. and in only vol 2 already start declining is not good at all..

Rock wa Lady no Tashinami deshite

better hold

Eh, who knows. I don't care enough to keep up with everything.
J+ doesn't even shill the manga nor anyone is talking about it. If anything getting 12k on its 1st volume was an anomaly with how shit the J+ new releases have been doing.
Maybe its 2nd volume will experience a drop because the handsome main character isn't on the volume cover and it's instead 2 literalwhos?

idk it's doing good compared to Kiyoshi with all the shill
Kiyoshi should do better because if not then it only lives because of Oda nepo at this point

I went to Amazon.jp to check J+ releases and they're actually 30% more expensive than WSJ releases kek
What's going on with that
amazon.co.jp/s?k=ジャンプコミックス&i=stripbooks&__mk_ja_JP=カタカナ&crid=DK4N3G6J2A5T&sprefix=ジャンプコミックス,stripbooks,539&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

Yeah I'm convinced. Thread was absolutely dead then bunch of sales talk out of nowhere

bunch of sales talk out of nowhere

Because Shoseki finally came out?

They include the color pages.

It was posted earlier and had no replies The retard should try making discussion look organic

its new month dumbass, while WSJ have break.. what you expect?? consolewar and horny spam post like csm??

bigger format
they don't

sorry, for this one I kinda ran some trouble. basically at some point the title in shoseki changed from 片田舎のおっさん、剣聖になる~ただの田舎 to 片田舎のおっさん、剣聖になる〜ただの田舎の剣術師範だったのに、大成した弟子たちが俺を放ってくれない件〜 and it screwed up my original coding so it'll take a while. its newest vol consistently ranked top 10 so doubt shoseki cant cover it

seems like it never reached top 500 shoseki in any of those vols, I just checked it manually and it's just never there despite checking on the week where they got released

imagine new month, new releases, surely something like Ao Ashi or MHA or KGB would top digital sales

Kichiku Eiyuu

Ao Ashi is 8th

kek I am absolutely sure softcore porn/smut titles sell buttloads on digital that's why stuff like isekai keep getting published

Aoashi is third tho
amazon.co.jp/-/en/gp/bestsellers/books/2278488051/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_books

amazon.co.jp/-/en/gp/bestsellers/books/2278488051/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_books

Did I open their secret NSFW backdoor kek
Your link has no smut at all

kill yourself akaneschizo
to hate akane one has to read it first lmao

Another thing to mention, those are dirt cheap. Might as well be an individual chapter.

Sakamoto leak is out

so i think the sharigan is stupid and it doesn't make sense that you'd have to kill your best friend to unlock its power but whatever, i had a question: what if someone used genjutsu on an *chiha and made them think they killed their best friend. why wouldn't that manifest it?

to know kino you have to read akane first

Yep, we know.
Now off with your head.

Link?

1. Most genjutsu are dogshit and can be easily seen through
2. The only genjutsu strong enough to perfectly deceive is Shisui's sharingan and infinite tsukuyomi, the former can only be used once a decade and the other is obviously shit the average sharigan user can't do

That leaves you with imperfect or nearly implausible ways of achieving the mangekyo sharigan, arguably more difficult or less practical than simply killing your best friend

naruto is so fucking stupid lmao

Prob on a promo.
It's still selling better than manga that sell 150k+ for its entirety of 11-volume backlog for essentially no production cost though. It's still pretty good for a 15k/20k-ish physical seller.

It's only Amazon which is a fraction of the sales.

and no one reads that aside from several schizos, this is why akanebanashilled threads are dead on arrival

WAH WAH WAH

STOP CALLING ME A SCHIZO

Why does it matter to you that 4chuds don't read it? Nobody here reads Blue Lock, it's still super successful.
By the way? Replying means baited.

Tfw DGM is the only other one in this list that isn't OP that is still running

But it's more or less never gonna finish

Grim

I keep forgetting, is it only Shoseki that doesn't track Animate or Oricon too?

akaneschizo is a seanigger

Why is it a seanigger everytime some obsessed schizo doxxes himself?

It's ending soon plus anime announcement boost

So kiyoshi is basically guaranteed to get axed in the future right?

Gag protection

Honestly it must suck debuting a series right before a big break

Exorcist series regardless of era always seem to have trouble finishing for some reason

Twin Star Exorcist took goddamn forever
And Blue Exorcist is still isn't finished since 2009 or so. (Being a monthly manga with an extremely slow pacing hurts too)

No doubt in my mind that the final volume is easily doing over 200k fm, kagurakek could never

to your suprise, DGM is actually scifi

Interesting numbers.

That's cool, I'm not really expecting much physical growth this volume, digital definitely shot way up though which is cool to see

And Blue Exorcist is still isn't finished since 2009 or so. (Being a monthly manga with an extremely slow pacing hurts too)

It's in the final arc, apparently. Both the anime and manga are done with Shiro's past which is more or less preparation for the final saga

Roboco volumes did 20k+ physically before, it's declining but nobody for some reason talks about it.
Yes, but the question is when.

As much as I like Blue Exorcist, it does have the same problems as MHA wherein the main cast are still in their first years.
In fact, none of them have taken their exorcist specialty exam.

It is really funny that as KGB grew and blew up, over time the goalposts and terminology has changed specifically to try and shit on it
Like for fucking ages it was

Bottom 3 or 5

But with KGB it's

Bottom 6, 7, 8, etc

Or how they try to say "frontloaded" as if fucking anyone cares as long as it's selling (especially with how long the volumes last in Shoseki lol)

satan is getting loose

expecting kids still can go to school

It has always been more of a character driven story than a battle shonen which definitely does feel like it moves like a snail's pace

Doesn't matter, shitposters have time on their side and it takes only one fuck up to becoming the thread laughing stock like when Viz covered up Chihiro with Sakamoto

thread laughingstock

You meant Jeremy and one other anon who always spams non-/wsj/ pics
It's immediately obvious there are only 3 shitstirrers on these threads. Those two and the BCfag.

Nepotism, everybody knows that it doesn't matter how badly it flops they just want to keep it around

They are doing well in the magazine, which matters infinitely more than volume sales.

Speaking of shit stirring. There's been some Sakamoto KGB shit on 5ch, lemme go see if anything funny happened

Hasn't 5ch always been more harsh towards Sakamoto? What's so different this time

The Nip Sakamotofags were really annoying and uppity before KGB showed up that it'd be the big hit of the magazine, now everytime something happens between either series

Sakamoto gacha spamming tons of characters, causing people to quit cause they just don't have enough resources

KGB about to shit on Sakamoto volume sales again cause it beat BB first week, again

funny drama ensues

Sakamoto only sold 230 DVDs

It's dead, Jim

It's Netflix and it did decent. It's gonna get a 2nd season just to fill that Netflix catalogue.

Idk why anyone would be buying physicals it's a real mediocre adaptation that mostly doesn't do anything to elevate it's source material or even make it it's own in an interesting way. Maybe that'll change come season 2 in a few weeks but it's nothing to write home about as of now.

Unless they change directors for the second cour, it's not gonna get better
Not when the action gets harder from here on out.

Sure, but that hasn't stopped Netflix from producing slop the flops multiple times worse than Sakamoto
It's still gonna get that 2nd season imo

Not when the action gets harder from here on out.

The action scenes get faster
But the anime versions will abuse the fuck out of the slow motion trick

It's probably still screwed though. Dr Stone is airing in the same season again and TMS will absolutely give their resources to that one over Sakamoto

Dr Stone is airing in the same season again and TMS will absolutely give their resources to that one over Sakamoto

You say like that's a bad thing.......

I mean. I prefer Dr Stone but I think it's funny that TMS chose a science show in its 4th season over a brand new hot action show.

Not surprised he's voiced by All Might, he just has that same presence.

Yep

Tower Dungeon

To be honest, it's not like Roboco has a strong competition. Chojo is also not doing well and it's the type of gag that is harder to justify keeping around (Chojo is mostly doing its own storyline while Roboco more often than not is tied to current happenings in the magazine)

Sakamoto is second to OP in Jump's eyes. But it's hard to advertise him when other popular faces of Jump has always been young teenage boys

Shin isn't a teenager but I think it would've worked better if he was the face of Sakamoto than the fat fuck

Comedy manga protection, they even have 2 cushions to shield it (Chojo and Nice Prison)

Roboco(p)

Policeman Choujo

Nice Prison

Is this just a coincidence or.....

Comedy manga protection

But is it still a thing im Saito era? And it's usually veteran comedy manga protection, not just comedy manga.

Murakami got axed though?

the fat fuck

they stopped using his fat version lately and I'm not sure that helped

Seeing a lot of talk about starting Kagurabachi on the nip side of things lately, between the posters and the drummer boy and the vtuber talking about it

Looking at the digital ranks all the volumes have risen. Besides 7 which is already basically at the top

PLEASE TALK ABOUT KGB
