these past years I kept seeing stuffs like "why doesn't Boruto sell as much as Naruto?" Or "why is Boruto sales flopping?"(100k copies per volume mind you). And here's the truth. Shueisha is dogshit at marketing their monthly series. I did a research on different popular magazine publishers and here's what I noticed:

​

Kodansha popular monthly series-attack on titan(140 million sales), quintessential quintuplets(20 million copies), the time i got reincarnated as a Slime(50 million copies).

​

Shogakukan popular monthly series- The apothecary diaries(45 million copies), Pokémon(24-28million), doreamon(300 million copies), don't call it mystery(22 million copies)

​

Shueisha- Blue exorcist(25 million copies) which is pretty good, world trigger(15 million copies), dragon ball super(12 million copies), Boruto(10 million copies) in japan alone mind you, seraph of the end(15million copies).

​

The sales tend to increase due to a good anime adaptation which boruto does not have, world trigger and blue exorcist have good adaptations. They prioritize weekly shonen jump and don't care about their other magazines, Boruto is top 5 as a monthly shueisha series, but it won't budge in sales without proper promotion or anime.

​

​

​and if you notice or check the charts even the well performing ones have a steady decline.

I'm honestly frustrated, if you can't tell. Just woke up to kagurabachi getting an anime adaptation. We need those 4 naruto episode(copium meme) and boruto announcement😭, I heard 4th of June so I'm just gonna be patient till then.
