Jump Sales

How come most of the long running popular series drop in sales over time? Even One piece isn't an exception to that.

New readers don't come in
Old readers lose interest and drop it

Use some common sense

Yes but even then, this big of a drop? Shouldn't the magazine be responsible for bringing in new readers to the series?

>Yes but even then, this big of a drop?
Yes, this big of a drop.
>Shouldn't the magazine be responsible for bringing in new readers to the series?
They try, what else are they supposed to do? Force new readers at gun point?
You have editors like the one piece guy saying shit like "wano is a good entry point for new readers", any anime adaption is made to be a commercial for the manga, you have other events like stage plays or merchandise and all that shit.
But if people lost interest then they lost interest, what are they supposed to do in your opinion?

There are exceptions like like KnY and HxH that don't drop in sales.

>new readers
Like who? Where are they supposed to find Japanese readers that don't already know about One Piece?

Readers grow up realizing its actually shit.

The curse of the shonen.

HXH used to sell over a million by year end
Last release didn't measure up

So? Answer the question. What are they supposed to do?

>HxH
lol

Advent of mobile devices and more online crap to occupy your time and money. Also, do the figures in those images include digital sales, or is it just printed stuff?

Bro HxH doesn't sell 1m anymore.

it's just print, we don't get numbers for digital

middle school kids and younger don't give two shits about OP in the present day, don't kid yourself. the remaining fans are all manchildren.

Then it's kinda hard to tell whether there's an actual decline and how hard it actually hit. I'd imagine in a country that's notorious for expensive housing and small living quarters, the target audience would be relatively eager to switch to something that doesn't require shelf space.

Shit goes on for too long and people lose interest.

Find a way to attract new viewers?

KyN also ended after a little over hundred chapters while One Piece is over a thousand. It’s two decades old too.

Come up with one, then.

Easier said than done, especially when you're oversea pirate who just read shit for free online.

i would honestly be surprised if the graphs for digital would be any different. It's not like analog and digital readers are 2 different tribes, it's the same people.

Publishing the first chapters of old series in the magazine or in the digital edition with decent enough promotion to attract the new generation?

To anyone wondering what happened to One Piece in that drop

Fishman Island happened

The first chapters for any running WSJ series are free on mangaplus, and they constantly put old series for free up. I assume it's the same for the japanese equivalent.
They even go further than that and reprint the entire manga in color (DB, OP come to mind) beginning from the very start.

At some point series simply reach a cap. Why are you unable to accept this? This isn't even exclusive to manga, any fucking media faces the same problem.

Based. Huntards BTFO.

KNY isn't a long runner so readers don't lose interest over hundreds of chapters.

there's a way to read op for "free"
I think the read problem is we don't have any digital numbers. their digital stuff also makes money in app.

Long running fatigue. Series blows up, but not all fans are going to be loyal once they have to follow a series for years and years, some simply don't like the new developments, some grow up.

>HxH
It does apply to it though.

>KnY
Blew up so hard and so late that there is no way it can apply to it. It hasn't even stopped growing yet for fucks sake.

DO WE REALLY NEED DAILY JUMP THREAD?

Yes.

NO, FUCK OFF Zig ForumsNIGGER

bump to piss off the wannabe-janitor

>middle school kids and younger don't give two shits about OP in the present day
