Bleach sells more than Boruto. Still don't get why it's getting axed.

SnK's sales picked up! Must have to do with how good the latest chapters have been.

Great numbers for Platinum End , With these sales an anime adaptation won't be that far

Yeah let's compare the sales of the first volume of an brand new series with the sales of a 15 years old manga that's been in decline since 2012. Makes total sense.

Bleach sells better than half of the mangas published in Shonen Jump, by your logic, SJ should cancel half of the magazine? Laughing

I'm guessing you still don't understand the saying "out with the old, in with the new"
But my major guess is Bleach isn't as good as it used to be over in Japan. A lot of people are still reading it because they want to know the ending.


Also I see Sabaku no Harem hanging in there!

Don't know how many more chapters to go, but I'm especially glad Toriko is ending. Shima started rushing things after the Pair Arc because that arc was too damn long. Not to mention there are so many plot holes in this manga that makes Swiss cheese jealous and very little character development. The guy created a lot of cool looking characters, but we never really got to see them in action. Confused

Nice to see School-Live in the top 10. I was worried that enthusiasm for the series would die off now that the girls spoiler[have transitioned to a college setting], but that doesn't seem to be the case at all.

Toriko should be done with either the next cancellation round or the one after. I'm leaning towards the upcoming one, whenever that is. Usually one volume's worth from now. I'd say if you really want to guestimate, look up the average number of chapters per Toriko volume, see how many chapters are in the current volume, then estimate based on how many you'd need to fill up the volume. Then either that, or (that + 1 more volume's worth), would be your rough guess.
But seriously, nobody cares enough about Toriko to do that. A vague expectation of it being done in 2-3 months time is sufficient.

Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san's sales aren't that shabby for a new series. 91k after 11 days for vol 2 isn't far behind something like Nisekoi vol 2 (94k after 12 days).

I was just adding new books to the list for fall semester and came across #20 of AoT. I'm surprised it's still staying on the top charts.
