Manga Why was Burn The Witch was a success and Samurai 8 was a failure? Both mangas came from Top successful authors
Burn the witch sold like 300K copies in its first few weeks, and got an anime, which was success too if you look at bandai namco. report about burn the witch, was this successful mangaka tax? Even though
On the other hand, samurai 3, sold roughly 10,000–15,000 copies per volume in its initial Oricon tracking period in Japan. For a new Weekly Shonen Jump series promoted as the next major work from Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto, those numbers are disappointing.

And Naruto had major changes at the start by kishimoto editors, is kishimoto just one hit wonder now?
