>The situation is so terrible that he has begged his fans to find a way to read it and talk about the story online to give it some visibility.>Apparently it sold only 4,000 of the 100,000 printed units for the manga.>The manga is titled "Boku No Manamusume" and its about a dad and his half-demon daughter.Volume 1 is being released on Amazon on the 29th April if that means anything - you have the opportunity to save our boy.
Premise: Sami-chan, who lives alone with her dad, has inherited her mom's silver hair and perfectly round eyes, making her an incredibly adorable daughter. However, this daughter has a secret. When she feels lonely, horns sprout from her head. She's a "half-demon" born from a devil...! Would having a daughter like this bring happiness!? Or...
I hope he does well, but I also hope this gives him the push to bring back Umaru.
>>287411903Why tf would they do initial print of 100000Even shonen jump works don't do thatBro is just trolling for views now
>>287411903i can't read anything happy anymore without feeling worse
>>287411903Umaru drinks too much Coke, she's going to get fat
>>287412038We are reading happy BECAUSE we are feeling worse.
>>287412077Depends of physiology - I am drinking like one bottle of cola every day and it doesn`t affect my body weight, also look at Asmongold.
>>287411903Why print 100k volumes of an unknown series from an artist who was popular like ten years ago? They have got to be completely stupid.
>>287411996Bro, given what drove him to draw Umaru is gone now, let him rest, he shouldn't draw Umaru anymore
The premise does nothing for me but I've been planning on getting it the day it dropped just because Umaru was so fucking good.
>>287412013If I had to guess it’s because the artist gets paid for each volume printed, not each volume sold, and this probably was part of the deal to make sure he would work for them.Still stupid but still, at least he got his money.
>>287412133Why? What happened to Umaru?
>>287412192Lurk more
>>287411903The only one at fault here is the publisher. Why would you give it 100k initial print? That's fucking insane. Even Ichi with two bigger names attached to it and published in the biggest manga magazine, only gets around half of that.
>>287412192Character was based on his real sister who died because of cancer or something.
>>287412133He's made peace with his sister's death and sees Umaru as a way of keeping her memory alive. Honestly, it feels like everything he's done since Unaru ended was just trying to fill a void, and that returning to Umaru to end the series properly would be the only thing that gives him closure.
>>287411903… are you talking about the japanese releaseOr the seven seas release?If it’s the seven seas one I can’t stop laughing, my sides.
>>287412280Japanese
>>287411903what's the life expectancy of one of these umarus
>>287412206It also targets a way smaller audience, and a different audience from Umaru-chan. Maybe some original readers might be interested in a slice of life manga about having a daughter, but otherwise it hasn't got the same appeal as Umaru, which anyone from kids to grandparents could like.Like seriously, I don't get what they were thinking. The normal thing to do even for other established authors is to start with a lower print number and do a reprint. Don't start out with 100k.
>>287412099You're going to regret that once you're screaming and bleeding over your toilet trying to pass that marble-sized kidney stone
>>287411976How shit of a writer do you have to be to fuck this premise up?Also dump Volume 1 please
He should just make more umaru
>>287412524anon, I...
>>287412752my condolences
>>287411903wut, I thought that series based on his own daughter was doing well and that it was going to be his longest seriesif this is true, then people are probably haunting him with returning to Umaru but we all know that doing that is just psychological abuse at this point for him
>>287412828>we all know that doing that is just psychological abuse at this point for himIt really shouldn't thoSo ok, his sister that served as inspiration for Umaru died, but it's not like she died as a child, she was already in her 20s or even 30s I think, all the memories that could serve for inspiration happened way before her deathBesides, this could also be as a way to keep her alive in a way? More than just the memory of the series done so far, he can keep making more and more memories and have a proper happy ending with Umaru idk, the series as it is ended way too suddenly with many things still left in the air
>>287412192umaru killed his little sister
>>287412099Retarded zoomer subhuman.
>>287413078I can't hear you behind my superior genetics
>>287413078You must envy in silence, anon.
>>287413172you're just underweight and don't eat properly anon.
>>287413373Whatever helps you sleep at night
>>287413529that's usually a pantoprazol and a good wank, but I don't really see what that has to do with it
>>287413693Then I guess I shouldn't tell you I also have sex regularly
>>287413706gay sex doesn't count anon
>>287412478>It also targets a way smaller audience, and a different audience from Umaru-chanFor a moment I thought you were saying ichi was a smaller audience and got super confused
>>287411903Don't want to sound mean but I never even remotely heard about this, and we had plenty of threads about the author as of late, sounds like a big fuck up from his part.
>>287412876t. guy who has never lost a beloved family member.
>>287411903Poor guy.I might buy it
>>287411903unless there's incestbait and fanservice i'm not interested.
>>287411903I wish my books had 4000 sales
>>287414427This. Make another oreimo / kodomo no jikan and it's a certified banger every time
>>287411903I don't see any fan service here.
>ai seethe No wonder nobody bought it
i read a few chaptersit was cutemaybe I'll read moreprobably not
>>287412080If only
>>287411903How is that different from that Polack who begged to buy his manga on twitter
It's doing bad? That's a shame, I like the manga
>>287411903Man, that's brutal. Being a mangaka is really unforgiving.
>>287411903owari da
>>287411903That manga is adorable and has a lot of heart, the Japanese and their shit taste strikes again
>>287416644Why do you think so many of them refuse to end a series when it becomes popular? Their next series might be a bomb so ride the wave till it crashes
>>287411903So, a rebadged Ruri Dragon?
>>287418652That's why I'm so impressed with Rumiko Takahashi. She put out THREE culturally significant bangers and a whole bunch of other successes. Most mangaka would dream of having even on manga on par with Rama, Inyuasha or Urusei Yatsura
>>287411903I'll buy it to support him, the premise sounds fun as well
>>287415371>>287414427annoying faggots
>>287411903Really? I'd say blame the editor and the publisher.
>>287411903How many does he need sold for it to be succesfull?
koooooraaaapoteto chippu
>>287412133Umaru is his magnum opus, anon. He won't be creatively fulfilled until he finishes it.
>>287420906Really? I'd say blame modern society.
>>287411903>>287412280Guess it's up to us Westoids to save the new series now by buying the thing, much like how the memes about Kagurabachi made here led to it getting a popularity surge in Japan to avoid the Axeman or how Pic related became popular here despite being a flop in Japan
>>287421015One more.
Umaru-chan is shit
It's imoutover...
>>287428202You're shit.
>>287411976author-kun...
>>287423859We baka gaijins will save manga and anime.
>>287423859>KagurabachiNever heard of it. Even googled some images and it doesn't even look familiar.
>>287432343the Invincible twitter account made some meme references to it recently
>>287423859>trigun jumpscarewe shoulda gatekept more though, he went on to OK stampede...
>>287412876You're a faggot anon, his imouto died...
