He's the same.
I am sure you're greatly mistaken.
while view and engagement doesn't really translate to sales, but on the Japanese sidebit has been noticeably higher even when compared to established series
Yeah, but you asked about it there before, I think haha
sounds like bots/spiders are spamming the manga so not real views
Just like the 100000 chainsawman twitter bots eh?
chainsawman isnt exactly selling as well as folks thought it would based on online measures of success so bots are clearly playing a role
Pretty irrelevant info about views, there's series that have a lot of views but sales are pretty abysmal. Like you said it doesn't really translate to sales. I was actually referring to how overly popular it is on reddit. If you ever been on reddit during the times of the chapters release then you would know. Same concept it can be applied for reddit as with this app but just wanted to clarify.while view and engagement doesn't really translate to sales, but on the Japanese sidebit has been noticeably higher even when compared to established series
views on the first image is only for this chapter, and while Jigokuraku only have an illustration this week the SxF number is actually higher than when the last time they both had a chapter. (though at that time Jigokuraku was ~10-20k higher before refreshed)
the 2nd image is total views, keep in mind that the page update quite late, which was easier to the discrepancy notice when it had 1/2 chapters
the rest are ch.1,2,4, 5 (don't want to use up my view for 3) and the comments are all ranging near 2000, which are significantly higher than most series, old or new
I would again say that views and engagement doesn't necessarily would translate to good sales, but seeems like it have some presence on the Japanese side as well
edit: sorry wrong area for the second image
That comparison doesn't make sense. Reddit has a large focus on westerner-oriented shonen and rom-com/fluff. Reddit scores and sales have very low correlation on its own, and just from that, you can't draw the conclusion that the views on Japanese websites such as Jump+ are insignificant.
It's been getting regular reprints, though. The first volume already had to be reprinted four or more times now, IIRC.
I never said reddit scores having a correlation to sales lmao. From what I see on reddit is that Spy x Family is popular in the western audience/outside of Japan. People outside of Japan seem to be more crazy about that series than Japanese people themselves is the point.
and I am saying that the Japanese side(at least on jump+) are enjoying the series as well,
Like 6 chapters I think. If it ends with volume 36.
What Chapter did Volume 34 end on, for reference?
299. And then if 35 and 36 have 9 chapters each, 35 would end on 308, and the last chapter would be 317.
Would they really axe something before seeing how it sells? Yui and Sayuuki don't come out until July.
They did it for a lot of manga in the past I believe. I think Mutou Black by Saiyuuki mangaka had that fate.
