can someone explain how this happened?
>>273384294>Asa happened >Nayuta ended up being pointless as her relationship with Denji was mainly off screened to push Asa>Art decline >Denji’s suffering leads to no growth, it’s a humiliation ritual >no characters like Power and Aki >chapters take 14 seconds to read Basically most problems can be lead back to Fujimoto pushing Asa
im blind and retard how much copies csm has sold bros?
>>273384294No reason to buy it when you can read it for free on Jump+This chart shows Part 2 has more views than Part 1 (413 millions vs 380 millions)
Fujimoto got FAT
>>273384294The characters just aren't as interesting
>>273384294>19 month break between volume 11 and 12I wonder why it lost all momentum
>>273384294Chainsaw Man is literally the #1 manga in the world and in Japan in terms of online readership>but muh salesChainsaw Man probably makes 10 times as much as best selling physical manga in plushie sales alone
>>273384294The whole industry is on on downward trend. For reference chainsaw man is in the top 5 best sales for every volume of that decline.
>>273384294Makima was carrying the manga, once she was gone there was little reason to continue
the movie is not helping us bros, WE'RE SO DOOMED!
>>273384294all the most popular characters are dead or absent
>>273384294that's nothing watch this fall of grace.
>>273384294can you explain why you didn't use the csm thread to post this shit?
>Great Hiatus after vol 18>Comes back to no drop>Goes into excel spreadsheet arc>Sales continue to rise
>>273388197OPM, now that’s a series that was carried by its anime
>>273386372Yeah manga is going down while anime, vtubers and video games are going up.
>>273384409>>273384294>Asa was wasted potential>Denji character regression>Anyone remotely cool / a relation to the main characters is offscreened or dies in like a chapter
>CSM becomes a meme>Shueshia pushes all their msrketing budget on it>anime gets destroyed by bocchi >Uh oh we are spending too much to make this shit manga look cool
>>273384294CSM is a joke manga with false climaxes and reddit humor. Chapters could randomly end with characters dropping what they're doing to go to a hot dog restaurant while Kobeni trips in the background and people would say this is kino
>Almost the entire beloved cast got killed off in part 1 and then part 2 came in with a shitty and very forgettable cast>Denji, one of the objectively best main characters in shonen period, stopped being the main focus and regressed as a character for the sake of the plot in favor for an autistic and unoriginal schoolgirl MC>Art nowadays has been so laughably and pathetically shit that you can relate it to look more like ONE's art than anything Fujimoto drew in his previous works I wonder how it happened
>>273389520The art part is so baffling to me on how people aren't bringing it up more, it genuinely looks fucking terrible. This isn't even like I'm trying to compare it to Fuji's old art, the latest chapter looks like actual shit, the worst its ever been.
>>273384294Hear me out.
>The Katana Devil arc is better than any arc in Part 2>Bomb Devil arc is better than any arc in Part 2>International Assassins Arc is better than any arc in Part 2>The Gun Devil Arc is better than any arc in Part 2>The Control Devil Arc is better than any arc in Part 2
>>273389112>Shueshia pushes all their msrketing budget on itI hope you realize that everything about CSM anime marketing was funded by MAPPA alone, Shueisha did jackshit outside of promoting the manga on ametalk since that show spoiled a lot of Part 1 like Himeno's death before the anime aired that episode.

Chensocucks, you're manga sucks. You anime flopped. End yourselves now!!
>>273384294Because it's garbage
>>273392849Truth.chenso trash should kill themselves.
I just hate all the pretentious faggots chainsaw man has
>>273384325FPBP
>>273392816Team based tactics autism with an actual underdog character.
Fun fact: SnK's preanime sales beat CSM sales WITH AN ANIME BOOST
>>273392709Asa is genuinely the most wasted potential I've seen in the past decade of reading manga>Set up a compelling new MC with an engaging personal conflict>Throw all that out the window to make her a love interest orbiter for the old MC
>>273384294Makima va
>>273392709what the FUCK happened to fujimoto's linework? its like he had a stroke
>>273384294the great filter
>>273392983Also Fun Fact: MHA pre anime sells better than CSM current sales
>>273392888I hate people calling the DDD guy or the SxF guy his apprentices when they're actually old men that Rin put with him to show him the ropes and get his manga over with backgrounds
>>273384294acksashit happened
>A bunch of schizo faggots are just keeping this shitty thread alive
>>273384294This is just terrible. I used to defend Fujimoto despite the bad art, shit action and no fight scenes to speak of, but after he ruined Asa's character and turned her into a lobotomized cumwhore with no agency or personal observations to offer, I simply gave up on him.
>>273393820CSM developed such a typical image spam DBS style shitpost general as a defense mechanism it's impossible to talk about it there, so people are going to file into bait threads to say something if they want to say something
>>273395380it's not even dbs posting its just thread personality chatroom
>>273395380>>273395678You can't talk about CSM and Fujimoto in general in this board also this thread is just shit.
>>273384294>>273388197does not compare to pic related
>>273395985By the 5th volume after its peak, CSM already lost 60% of its sales. CSM has a way sharper decline compared to this
any shoujo series graphic?
bump
>>273392983>monthly manga that still mogged most of Jump>outsold Bleach, JJK, and MHAShingeki no CHADjin
Part 1 had two characters carrying it: Makima for the dudes, and Aki for the fujos (and homos I guess) Fujimoto killed off both Makima and Aki. To be fair he clearly wanted to end the series at that point so why worry if you killed them?
>>273386372here's an updated versionchainsaw man is still almost as bad
>>273395985that took like 20 volumes to halve salescsm did it in 5
>>273398496>jc staff killed the hype after a piss poor adaptation after the stellar first season >murashit gone full retard >ONE not tard wragging muraSHIT on garou's arc like with the Boro's arc man many factors are at fault for OPM many parties drop the ball hard.
>>273398594>for OPM's decline*fuck.
>>273392983I'm always amazed at how based Japan is to do things like fall off in the stupid fucking WW1.5 world phase of SNK that made amerifats piss and shit themselves with orgasmic joy
>>273384294there shouldnt have been a part 2. The best thing about Fujimoto is going in knowing you'll get a compact, fast paced manga where every chapter is unique and important with the ending just around the corner. That's what made me like Fire Punch and Chainsawman p1
>>273395985The moment the mangaka introduced power levels the moment it went to shit. Escanor was kino but couldn’t stop how bad the manga became
>>273384294It's like a standard distribution curve
