Opening sales for previous volumes

Sankarea 3 - 24,363
Sankarea 4 - 44,120
Sankarea 5 - 31,020

So looks like the anime did absolutely nothing

I'd look at sales of volume one to see if they went up, rather than opening sales for a volume that likely won't even be covered by the anime.

JoJo Part 1 vol 1

This was a pretty good shoujo manga. Jonathan is the naive weak male lead but then toughens up later on, Dio is the asshole villain that hates our MC and then we have our love interest, Erina. They had backstabbing, violence, bullying, rivalry, and even NTR. This manga has it all.

It did get a little actiony near the end, they need to fix that.

That number would be impossible to get since you need at least 30k to get on the chart and I somehow doubt the first volume of Sankarea doubled its numbers due to the anime

Bleach first week sales are up by 50k+ compared to the last few volumes. Time to viciously jerk off with my tears...in the car.

One Piece: A

What a chapter. Luffy showed us some moves, Haki is gonna be so interesting to see, and we know Oda is gonna present it all well. Glad he lost this little battle, though. Would be weird to see him immune to gaseous poison despite the Megellan stuff.

DAT. CLIFFHANGER.

Not much to say other than awesome.
 
Reborn
Oh you silly, Lambo.
I do wonder what Tsuna is gonna do now but pretty cool that he got something from Lambo's crazy idea. I also want to know who did he first visit in the temple. Not ringing any bells who he could have to ask to find out where that person is.

Steel Ball Run 1-3

Gyro's hat isn't nearly as cool as Mr. Zeppeli's hat in Phantom Blood

Also Johnny is a little bit of an asshole

Gyro's "Nyo Ho" thing is creepy

retcon: Steel Ball Run is way more compelling than Stone Ocean so far. Probably because the horse race premise is just a breath of fresh air and is something different.

I think I was just burned out on JoJo; I had essentially marathoned it up until that point, and while I was in to the prison story thing at first, I quickly lost my fuse, opposed to part 4 and 5, in which I was completely hooked. I think I'm up to chapter 60 in Stone Ocean.

I really liked Part 4 and Part 5; they're probably my favourite parts so far.
 
Seeing as were speaking of Jojo

The last two chapters of SBR are out. So stick a fork in it SBR is done! I'm going to share thoughts on it later.

On that note Jojolion/part 8 is up to chapter 11 out of 12. No new chapter until July.
 

Parallax

best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
i wish someone would rewrite diamond is unbreakable. to see stardust crusaders being done well, and vento aurea the same makes me wonder what the fuck happened.

the translations. its the most incoherent engrish ive ever tried to read.

Someone is retranslating them; I think it's been a slow thing though.

I remember finding this out a good ways through part 4, after I had passed the retranslation of course *sigh*

I post on the JJBA boards at times and I read that like years ago man, I'd file that under lost cause.

Man, I was like certain that I'll be 19 on my next birthday (I even wrote the post).. then I counted the years, and it as it turns out... I'll actually be 20. Apparently.

Someone give me my year back. I feel like I got cheated.

How is it even possible to get this wrong? Maybe my ID's forged..
 
Again!! 8-12
Welp, there goes the cheering squad. I wonder how things will unfold.

One Piece 671
Someone somehow has some powerful haki that only targets Law and Luffy ?

Ratman 33
Shiki's superpowers are amazing !
It wasn't superpowers...


I'm 22 btw

People's answers aren't interesting unless their outside the 20s. Since thats like 80% of NeoGAF's membership I imagine (the majority of the rest are probably teenagers too). Now I want to know who the old farts of Manga GAF is.

I want complete statistics and their comparison to the AnimeGAF equivalent
 
Well I joined in late 2008, started my first three manga, Naruto, Spiral Bonds of Reasoning, and eventually Bleach and Our Kingdom, in late 2009 after my first anime, Naruto. First post in the manga thread was late 2009, I think...have we really know each others for three years now?

Oh, I forgot to say, that "smile" on the last page from that Quincy who is fighting Byakuya...fucking CREEPY.
Speak louder next time and you shall be heard. I'm 20.
Since you asked so nicely...

18.
Ahh sorry, I'm 26 for those that would like to know.
Welp, not the youngest. 19 as of Tuesday
I'm 20. Half a year until I can buy some drinks!
Interesting.

I turned 21 in April.

Kingdom

How did they take a manga that looks decent and fuck it up in the anime? It's like they want it to look shit on purpose. Anyway, the story is pretty trashy and it's more boring sword fights.
