For KHR. Reborn is arguably the deuteragonist but other times, it was Gokudera/Yamamoto. Xanxus is Tsuna's rival but all four are decently popular within their own series.

Fujos must be really starved, these two don't have a single proper friendship scene together and their relationship is as deep as a puddle. Hokazono really dropped a ball with this one, killua and gon are right there to get inspired by.

Hertz xitter followers count slowed down but still probably going to overtake Himaten in a day. This is a success but not an overwhelming one. Hope, it's not Chojo case were 95% of fans have online presence so the sales are not high because there is no silent majority.

One Piece is a 20+ year old habit for many manga and anime enjoyers, it's part of their routine to check the daily chapter/episode. It's a shame that nowadays both the anime and manga have problems, Oda's art has fallen off a cliff after finishing WCI.

>Preorders are much lower than actual sales
Obviously but the rankings tend to track. With hertz's hype online, very high toc placement, preorder ranking, you have a lot to corroborate and predict it's basically already in the 20-30k tier. We have an example of this before when KGB sold out in pre-orders then proceeded to blitz Nue's sales with only its first print.

Now that you mention it the current waifu roster is so bad. Barely any curves. Say what you want about mha but it had a lot of great girls.
I know jujutsu had a few ones too but Gege hated every cute girl that wasn't Maki so that's a waste too even though Yuka is cute, Modulo still feels too disconnected as a jjk sequel and she now looks like Yuta so...

Same reason why Nube wasn't and why Katekyo Hitman reborn's new anime will be announced in the summer next year for a 2027 broadcast, Jump festa is no longer a place for new reveals just a place for updates
>>
>>284768476
because they already planned to announce it when the special aired

The jump plus editor Momi something was saying how much he missed Neeko on the red stage which tells me Reborn is probably gonna be on that for next year's event
