A 100k manga isn't exactly something you just up and cancel otherwise a large proportion of the publishers revenue would go just like that. So for the most part it's pretty much safe. It would for it to fall massively from there (when the ratings imply the opposite) for the manga to get cancelled. Edit: Just realised Westlo is completely full of crap the manga's actually doing great ranking wise in Zenkichi box and actually has moment, it's only at the top of the bottom 5 one week and now it's getting more regularily ranked in the middle. So fuck yeah Zenkichi box it's doing well. Aijimu's arc did badly because honestly it was pretty crap. Aside from the fanservice treasure arc, not much happened in second arc and the lack of straight battles clearly harmed it when it was trying to be more serious. I didn't really notice how well Zenkichi box was doing until now, thanks Westlo. Last edited by Tenchi Hou Take; 2012-06-17 at 15:49. |

Regarding the manga rankings I wouldn't quite call them "great" but Medaka Box has certainly re-entered "safe" territory with the conclusion of the previous arc and the start of the new one. Unfortunately, the rankings up to this point only reflect up to ch. 143 which means they're just about to reach the point when Nishio cut out all of the popular characters including Kumagawa and Ajimu. If you really want to talk about "Zenkichi Box's" popularity I'm afraid you're gonna have to wait and look for the next couple months' rankings. Last edited by Sol Falling; 2012-06-17 at 16:55. |

Unfortunately we won't be able to see the rating of Chapter 144 since next issue is color issue for Medaka Box. However, we can see how readers reacted to Zen's "Altered God Mode - Zen Model" of Chapter 145. And the conclusion of his fight vs Nienami!

8 weeks only comes from when they start rating new manga and they probably did that to give it a grace period rather than all manga being rated that way. |

edit: ahh thats typically more for Shusi, in general it's not that great, though I'm guessing in this context it's including 1 volume. Last edited by Tenchi Hou Take; 2012-06-17 at 17:24. |

Just checked (a random post from a forum), not a single Medaka Box volume was in Top 100 among sales in 1st half of 2012.
The 100th was Hayate no Gotoku! #31 (211,154). So, it could mean individual Medaka Box volumes sold in 2012 barely got 200K sales.

Yeah that's only counting 1 volume i think which did quite terrible due to arc it's in, the anime wouldn't have had an affect on that. Including all manga it's obviously not that great but those just from it's publisher it's pretty good.

^ Yeah, I know, but sometimes the lack of logic is astounding. Everyone has points where they thought the manga sucked(whether it's because their favorite character is missing, or because the plot is going in a different direction).

I know it's quite pathetic really this is someones livelihood and something they've put their creative time and effort to create and yet you just want it to fail because you and be forced to go an entirely different route because you don't like that character one single character. I don't particularily care for Ichigo main character of bleach, you don't see me wanting it to fail because of him and that goes for the vast majority of people.
There character bias likes and dislikes which everyone has , then there's another level of irrational dislike which Westlo has reached. |

He's correct though, up until the last 5 chapters with the new arc; Medaka Box has been almost entirely in the bottom 5 (bottom 3, even) aside from the unranked colour chapters. It's been doing the worst it has since before the Minus Arc; and this was coming off an amazing run during the Treasure Hunt mini-arc chapters.
I am not especially concerned about rankings 'cause Kumagawa is easy popularity and clearly will have some involvement in the present storyline, but don't be surprised if the rankings drop for the next two months or so. |
