    Break Week Top 20 most sold series 2020 (from Oricon)

    As if it wasn't already obvious, with this ^^ you've definitively proven yourself creditless on the topic. I recommend you take your own advice. This is pitiful. Goodbye.

    It's not that deep lol. You were wrong and I corrected you. No need to make an issue over it. You said this ^^ And so I mentioned KnY since it was relevant to discussion. And again you're mistaken here since quality doesn't equal sales. AoT having "solid fights" for its finale has little...

    AoT will only have 3 volumes released in 2021 sales year. As you can see, these volumes individually have been on a decline. Other than the first season of the anime which obviously gave the series tons of exposure and hype, every other season has had basically no effect on the individual...

    I know what you said. That's why I responded telling you that sales don't just shoot up out of nowhere because a series is ending and that OP's actual competitor isn't AoT like you thought, but is instead JJK and Kingdom. I mentioned KnY because it was also a topic of discussion in your post.

    Lol. In the first 2 weeks of 2021 sales, KnY's already sold over a million more than AoT did throughout all of 2020. There's zero chance of what you're saying actually happening. And it's a misconception that sales suddenly boost up tons when a series is ending. So many people think that's the...

    For me, that's the real strength of KnY. Its emotional power. Something that hits home in a special, relatable way that really takes you back and has a lasting impression. Chapter 179 absolutely killed me. As did many others. Cannot wait for it to be adapted with the animation and music. When...

    :cheers: Whilst it's true that KnY's success increased after the anime adaptation, this is natural and happens to most well adapted manga. The anime is in effect just a pretty advertisement of the source material. It's what's happening with JJK right now as its sales are multiple times over...

    Honestly I jokingly wonder if how underwhelming Wano's been had any part to play in KnY's success. We were promised: -Badass swordsmen -Unbearable stakes -Terrifying oni/(demons). And IMO we got a steaming pile of you know what. Quite possibly the biggest fuck up in the series. And...

    Not everyone has the same opinion lol. For what you find shit or average there are millions that love it. And it goes the other way too. Something you think might be amazing, many others could see as trash. So how is it a huge mystery that something you don't like is loved by others? KnY's...

    Yeah, absolutely nothing wrong with that. OP overall has more highs for sure, but it's also 5x longer. KnY is just a ton better than recent OP for me personally. As with practically every series, the anime naturally increased its popularity. In demon slayer's case, the amazing production helped...

    Break Week Top 20 most sold series 2020 (from Oricon)

    For me, KnY is a lot more powerful emotionally than OP has been in years. Characters we met within such a short period we can already grow to love immensely and care about. One of those few series where it's extremely hard to pick a favourite since you love basically the entire cast tons. I...

    Break Week Top 20 most sold series 2020 (from Oricon)

    Yeah, I totally get what you're saying. OP hasn't crashed and burned by any means lol. Not at all. It's still the second best selling manga by volume after KnY. But it is true however that OP has seen a decline. Recently it struggles to sell 2 mil in the first month. This was volume 96 in a...

    Yeah, it bangs. Solid 8/10 IMO. The anime is airing atm, so you might want to go with that if you prefer. It seems promising. It gets better on rereads too. Chainsaw Man is another one that's awesome. I actually prefer that too. My favourite would be KnY though if you haven't tried.

    Oh yeah, I agree that something like this year with KnY won't happen next year, but now KnY isn't the only one within striking range of no.1 yearly spot. Kingdom's going to rank 2nd place this year. After 11 years of being untouchable, OP is now within striking range on some years. Whilst...

    Black Clover isn't really that close to MHA in popularity in Japan. New manga like Jujutsu Kaisen were already selling better than BC, without an anime. People consider Black Clover comparatively to MHA I think mainly because they're both long running battle shonen, but in terms of success...

    But not only DID a newer series beat OP this year, it did so by an utterly insane amount, so that statement doesn't mean anything in regards to OP not being beaten.

    OP has actually released 3 volumes, not 2. 95, 96 and 97 were all this fiscal year and those numbers are included in the chart you posted.
