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.

Tite Kubo always says he never likes it when editors tries to interfere with his vision, it's like he has beef with them,

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

Manga What Canceled Manga or Old Manga Needs An Anime?

3 Upvotes

I feel like the door is opened so what canceled or old manga need an anime series?

I'd like to see MamaYuyu or the one about the Demon Lord and the Hero. I really liked those two.

So far it seems like they are just adapting series and that's that but I'd love to see this lead to anime original content.

I don't know if this will lead to more content BUT anime is valuable on it's own. I don't view anime as just advertisements. Someone I spoke to or I saw this comment that had a weird mindset that anime series don't have to be 1 to 1 because they are ads...I disagree. I thought this long before they started just making anime out of old things. Anime is big on it's own. I'm sure lots of people don't buy manga but they watch anime. Think about Demon Slayer, Dragon Ball, Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Kaisen. All of these had films. Anime is it's own thing.

I don't know if this is true but Black Clover's anime seemed pretty popular, maybe more popular than the manga?

Should Editors Start Sticking Up For Manga Series More?

0 Upvotes

I saw someone on here saying that Jojo was scoring low but was kept around and look at it now, it's one of the best selling manga of all time. I think Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi is a good one too. It felt like it was about to end and apparently it was about to be canceled and now it's doing pretty alright in the rankings at least.

I think that the people at Shonen Jump need to realize that not everything is going to be a hit and okay sales are better than horrible sales. They're not going to have multiple Narutos, One Pieces, Bleachs, Demon Slayers, Jujutsu Kaisens, or My Hero Academias running at once. Maybe it's better to let some of the series sit and grow.

I think the next biggest things will be Kagurabachi and Ichi the Witch. But what if they're not? It's okay to nurture some series. For example, Cannon Master is pretty good. Under Doctor is also good. The rankings are low but in a year or more, who knows?

If you saw my previous posts, I mentioned liking series like Mama Yuyu and The Hero and the Demon Lord(I forgot the title). But I also liked Kinato(when it wasn't weird). I know people liked Red Hood. What if they kept Samurai 8 around longer? Wasn't there a martial arts series from the Hinomaru Zumou(?) author? It just makes me wonder.

Is there anything from the magazine you think needs or needed help?
