Mag Talk Bessatsu Shonen Magazine

[Mankichi Togawa]

Blue Lock becoming the major manga of Bessatsu too. The Nagi spinoff has 600.000 copies in circulation with just 2 volumes.

Bessatsu cover of this month:

Great Blue lock cover this issue and also good color pages for Flying Witch & Risuka

Orient is apparently entering it's final battles from the preview for the next issue. The translation is a bit iffy but we're definitely heading to the end game. We should have a clearer picture with the next issue. I think Orient should be around 23-25 volumes. Also it's Orient's fifth anniversary this month & Ohtaka's 40th birthday today

Wistora manga sales, I think Wistoria has potential to become a major title for Bessatsu & one of the better sellers in the magazine too.

Tomodachi Game - 5.2 million copies (feels like it should be bit bigger given how inflated circulation numbers can be for Kodansha titles)

Takeaways :

-Blue Lock's presence is too strong - although I will say it's pretty excessive having it the biggest title for both WSM & Bessatsu. I liked when Arslan was the biggest.
-Wistoria sales are strong as well, for a bessatsu title. Nice growth and I could see it being a big hit once the anime drops. Rooting for this series.
-Orient is still holding quite strong for bessatsu standards. Will say the decline in sales is sad and they missed hard with not getting good or even decent studio/staff on this one. We could've been having season 2 airing by now and it feels like the manga has skipped an arc just to get to the final arc.
