@ShonenSalto Ichi got a cover a month before volume 1 even released, Horikoshi had nothing to do with its popularity

@edl19638764286 @VGC_News You know that they literally legally had to put it on Switch 2, right?🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@tymunculus @WSJ_manga It's both being scalped apparently so those sales figures are being inflated. Volume 2 will almost certainly drop in sales.

@YXY311 @Mick7763362412 They're both being scalped apparently so those sales figures are being inflated. Volume 2 for both will almost certainly drop in sales.

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@Th3MangaAddict Can't imagine Under Doctor will have great legs or rank that highly in subsequent volumes, this rank is probably propped up by the scalping situation.

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@Th3MangaAddict @WinspearUltima I don't like them, they dropped Three Exorcism Siblings by Shinta Harekawa (Momose Akira mangaka) after 3 volumes 🫤🫤🫤🫤🫤

@WinspearUltima @Th3MangaAddict don't see Rokudenashi Blues or Rookies ever being licensed by VIZ (maybe by a small publisher), but if they ever do get licensed I imagine it'll only happen if they get anniversary adaptations in 2028 (Rokudenashi Blues 40th anniversary, Rookies 30th anniversary).

@Th3MangaAddict Would love to see Parashoppers and Witch Watch physical licenses (very unlikely for the latter sadly)

A bunch of these feel way too early to be honest (Osananananajimi, Witchriv and Someone Hertz, for example). (1/2)

@ZetaKenju @Shinuki1992 Why would they bother printing an obi for a recommendation if it's over already, it would just be a waste of money lol

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@N0t_Ground_Zero @AzDulazD7 @WSJ_manga eh, he's recommending it because it's by a former assistant of his. Mangaka recommendations don't mean anything unless they work for a different publisher tbh, otherwise it's just a famous mangaka doing his employers a favor and letting them put his name on something new.

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@Noah_Sky1 @N0t_Ground_Zero @AzDulazD7 @WSJ_manga Recommendations for volumes 9 and 3 of two series that were successful from the start won't do much (if anything at all) lol

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@hawaiipartwo @WSJ_manga It had some pretty good SoL chapters but now a serious story arc started out of nowhere which may be a Hail Mary given its ToC placements

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@Ramsfan1982 @Crunchyroll Because they're by the same mangaka

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@hawaiipartwo @WSJ_manga It's pretty decent I'd say? Definitely nothing special though.

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@AishinDesu @WSJ_manga A ton of axed manga got recs from big name mangaka lol, it doesn't really guarantee anything
All that matters is how well it sells

@jujuman404 @mikeysmisery @MangaMoguraRE Your comment was just wrong man, don't be snarky

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@jujuman404 @MangaMoguraRE > pump out spin off manga & light novels like crazy then move on to the next series to start
also wtf are you talking about lol, spin-off LNs have always been a thing and they're *definitely* won't make more money than just selling more volumes of the main series... (2/2)

[Frozen @ActuallyFrozen]

@jujuman404 @MangaMoguraRE That's just false, the big 3 era had a couple of really famous long manga so people felt like it was a large percentage of the manga landscape when WSJ has only ever had 26 series go over 300 chapters (Roboco and Akane will almost certainly make it to 300 too) (1/2)
