i dont know if anyone posted about it but billboard 100 has started doing weekly manga ranks, and they include digital sales, but they don't actually put out hard numbers. I think this is the first release window they've covered

1. One Piece #113
4. Ruri Dragon #4
7. Akane Banshi #19
25. Nue's Exorcist #12
38. Shinobi Undercover #5
39. Hima-ten #6
50. Kill Blue #12

Volume sales mean fuck-all to WSJ—they're not a bookstore; they're running a weekly magazine. They include a postcard survey in every issue. Readers buy the magazine, fill out the survey, and mail it back. Editors use those survey results to set TOC. New series can survive with low sales as long as they rank high in TOC. Series with high sales but low TOC get axed.

Multiple decades since Shanks and Mihawk were introduced but I can’t be bothered to get excited to ever see them fight because it will just be another fucking haki clash with black lightning everywhere and a billion reaction panels. Story wise, Mihawk might be connected to Imu, Shanks is connected to the CDs. More boring nepo piece shit. One Piece really is dogshit and doesn’t deserve to have like every Japanese person worshipping it and owning 10 volumes each.

Ruri’s success is more baffling to me than Kimetsu’s. I’m surprised that it’s taken this long for it to start falling off even a little bit when the entire story that’s been slowly shat out for over five years is the same “new power that might make her leave school -> actually it’s a minor inconvenience” arc over and over.

One Piece has already sold over 500 million copies and has been the top of oricon for 17 years before with this year being the 18th. OP doesnt get anime, movie or such backlog boosts anymore, everyone and their mom knows one piece and like 90% of the world just reads it illegally now anyway, its literally surpassed game of thrones as the most pirated media in the world. These days OP only hits oricon when it releases a new volume. Its a 30 year old manga anon

I give OP shit but it really is crazy to be like the 2nd most sold comic book ever compared to the lifetime sales of Batman and Superman when it’s the creation of just one dude (even if the past few years Oda is starting to croak and is probably getting dragged across the finish line by his assistants and editors)

It can still be interesting to read but the characters need to be interesting themselves so just seeing them going on about their day is entertaining enough without a “plot”. And the formula itself shouldn’t be so rigid and stale. And both of those things are a problem for Ruri right now. None of the characters have a distinct personality, everyone is only mildly interested in the whole dragon aspect, and the formula of giving Ruri a new power issue and then immediately solving it prevents anything else from happening. Because “oh no this new power is a big issue!” overtakes everything else, but no one cares that much and then it gets easily solved. Once is fine but this has happened like three times now and the only thing of note to happen is mild bit of lore of “Dragons used to want to destroy humanity but now they’re chill” and “maybe one day Ruri will meet her dad”, both of which causes the characters to, as always, have no reaction. Usually when you’re this many chapters deep you already have a decent sized cast of characters and maybe a sub plot of romance or something, but Ruri, the teacher, and her mom are the only notable characters, and none of them are distinct. Absolute shame cause I can enjoy “nothing happens” series like Smoking behind the convenience store, Genshiken, or another monster girl series that blows this shit out the water, Tsumiki Ogami’s not so ordinary life, but Ruri just has nothing going for it besides how cute Ruri is herself.

>romance

>>
>>283752614
Alright Genshiken might be more comedy than anything else I’ll give you that but the other two are still primarily slice of life with the characters just hanging out and shooting the shit. And guess what? Even Ruri is not purely slice of life because of the whole dragon thing, and neither aspect is done well. All the characters are dull so I’m not interested in seeing them hang out and do school shenanigans, the supernatural aspect is a joke cause no one in the story itself even cares.
>>
>>283752524
>Mentioned Tsumiki Ogami
A true man of culture. If any series deserves the kind of sales Ruri (used to) get, it's Tsumiki. Anyway, you described my feelings regarding Ruri very well. I enjoy slice of life manga, but man, Ruri is one of, if not the dullest series I've ever read. There's nothing wrong with a slow buildup, but when you're forty chapters in and you still haven't had any real character or story development besides repeating the same formula of, "Oh, no! A new power! How will I be able to keep going to school?! Oh, never mind. My classmates all love me and accept me unbelievably easily. All's good until the next power, where we repeat the same song and dance again", it gets really old, really fast. I sometimes wonder if the creator even wants to write it. It sure doesn't feel like something a creator who has any real love for his work would make. Also, Tsumiki is far cuter and far more likable than Ruri.
>>
>>283752524
Both Ruri and Kaiju No. 8 established that, when rolling the dice for a series to succeed in an oversaturated market, one of the most important factors is having a character design immediately go viral. If that happens, the creator can coast for years on that initial surge of attention and goodwill, regardless of whether they actually have any writing talent.

With Ruri, I got fed up with the characters acting unnaturally nice and understanding. They all came across as apathetic, and any potential conflict was sanded down into something more generic. Conversely, I felt Kaiju had a good set-up for a story, but every time the author had a chance to do something interesting, he did the opposite. As a result, nothing about the series is memorable. They ultimately are both boring manga, but they are boring in different ways from each other.

There is literally no drama or hook or any unique factor about this manga that makes you want to read it more than other series
>bungo has veteran appeal and from the first chapter is about a complete amateur
>oblivion battery has a guy who needs to get his memories back along with his skill
>strikeout pitch is a screwball comedy with lots of technical knowledge of the game and a guy who can only pitch thrice a day
Meanwhile harukaze mound could have had a strong hook from the oneshot using the drama between the two brothers being rivals but every possible edge is sanded down until there's nothing memorable about it and nothing to read it for specifically
>>
>>283752728
But Tsumiki is more romance than anything, and Ruri is trying its hardest to supress the supernatural aspect

He only wore that helmet during the march with the army. And the editor probably asked Kawaguchi to discard the first transformation. As for Surtr mode, I think Kawaguchi will have him transform one last time before the manga ends.

They decided points based on their own calculations from oricon numbers and publicly available rankings on few online stores. So they really don’t know anything more than we do, and the ranks could be very screwed. It's far less reliable than even shoseki.
