Kingdom still going strong at what point do we not consider it a boost anymore
has it left the top 10 at all since the initial boost?

It definitely had left the top 10. Probably only like 5 times though. It's insane how it can still keep this up, the series definitely deserves it though.

I dont think 15th anniversary will boost sales that much. Bleach has the best volume art in all of ongoing shonen. that is fact

I think only Nisekoi is even close his level.

I think the later Nisekoi volumes (have a different art style) and Boku no Hero Academia have amazing covers. Bleach's are still really good, but I just love the art style and colour of the Nisekoi ones.

I'm happy to see World Trigger selling well. It is pretty interesting so far.

I'm also pleased to see Gintama and Bleach selling, though Bleach is not as popular as before, it seems. It'd be nice if it got some promotion and an anime to finish the story, but its publisher might have just decided to abandon it or something from what I see.

Mar 10, 2016 5:39 AM by Tomislavr7

World Trigger's Data Book is doing well, it seems. It has pretty cool info so most fans would want it.

Volume 14 is doing okay for its first week, by okay I mean I would have liked it to sell more but what can you do :|

3 days, 3 Goddamn days! Keep it up Kubo!

These are the most recent BLEACH volumes to have 3 day first weeks:
*2　--　*,239,346　*,239,346　**1　3　BLEACH-ブリーチ-　67
*3　--　*,223,964　*,223,964　**1　3　BLEACH-ブリーチ-　68

*3　--　*,197,737　*,197,737　**1　3　BLEACH-ブリーチ-　71

Oh god that drop.

Bleach does not deserve this. I still believe part of this is shonen jump/shuiesha fault, not promoting it and giving it more color spreads, cover pages and games.

WOW! i didn't know world trigger is that popular.

I read that Japanese people welcomed Shunsui's Bankai with great reception especially that his backstory had a really Japanese feeling to it, and I think it's visible. We'll see what next week brings :)

Kubo too good.

Still salty after all these years that VIZ butchered these covers in the US release by removing the slogans and changing the colors.

They should have been sent in jail by now. What police are doing?

Kingdom still going strong at what point do we not consider it a boost anymore
has it left the top 10 at all since the initial boost?

Well Kingdom was in the Top 10 Weekly Manga Series for 25 weeks in a row from May 25, 2015 to Nov 15, 2015. It didn't chart for the 8 weeks after that, although we can figure its sales out for 7 of those weeks through the monthly rankings. Now it has started another streak, charting 8 weeks in a row and counting from Jan 18 to Mar 6, 2016.

I have all the data here in my spreadsheets:

Hoping for season 2 of Shokugeki will boost it from 450k-500k to 550k-600k , 50,000 more readers is good for me ( 50,000 * 19 volumes by the time it airs).

although 600k-700k might be a bit of a stretch but one can dream xD

*9.　*97,994　252,734　Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare Vol.2

The Inui Effect will push the manga towards greater heights. Mark my words for it.

21.　*38,765　109,503　ReRe Hello Vol.9

I wonder when I will get to see more of Riri. It seems like it has been forever since I last read a chapter.

41.　*21,691　*34,029　Fujiyama-san wa Shishunki Vol.8

It's been a while since I read it and now I noticed the manga actually ended. Time to catch up. I think anyone who read the manga would acknowledge that Makio is absolutely adorable.

Ayyyyy Kubo keep it up, it should be any moment now when they announce the continuation of anime.

unlikely due to bad opinion of the last arc in the magazine and declining popularity

Man, if only. I'm dying for a continuation. The start of the final arc was amazing in my opinion.

Hey it beat Souma, so much for that.
Hope the 15 year anniversary boosts sales this year.
*3.　197,737　197,737　Bleach Vol.71

The cover is on point as usual.
Kubo too good.

How's Toriko doing compared to previous volumes btw

It'll sell about the same as the last several volumes.

Toriko doesn't need sales right now, it needs jump rankings.
*7.　110,262　110,262　Toriko Vol.38

Soma will more than likely surpass Bleach next week, if not next week it'll definitely beat Bleach by a good 30k by the first half, Bleach's legs are horrible
