Edit: Looking at volume sales even of last arc, nah Medaka Box doesn't have a remotest chance of getting cancelled, it may not of sold gangbusters but even last arc it sold more than enough to be in the safe zone. I doubt Nisio remotely cares about rankings that sort of way with sales like those. No wonder Nisio is basically doing whatever shit he wants. Last edited by Tenchi Hou Take; 2012-05-10 at 07:56. |

Same old since Westlo brought it up, but it was kinda enlightening, considering I realised just how little the shit rankings mean in regards to Medaka Box considering it sales means unless it somehow dramatically drops down, which is highly unlikely at this point there's pretty much zero risk of cancellation.

The volume sales are something like 170k per volume as reported by Oricon, or 3 million over 12 volumes as of late 2011 as reported by press releases. Decent sales for sure, if a little stagnant considering that Medaka Box was already up to selling 100k per volume as of Vol. 2.
Regarding Medaka Box's performance throughout the Minus Arc, I don't mean to imply that none of the chapters fared well. It still had the occasional chapters jumping up to 6th or 7th place, and quite a few stretches of higher averages than most of the other arcs. It's just that it also wasn't uncommon for the series to dip back into the bottom 5 or even stay there for quite some time (8 chapters in a row in the bottom 5 at worst, versus 6 chapters in a row outside of it at best), so at best you could call it inconsistent. |

Could you pls send me a link to the RAW, cannot wait for cxc to translate this one! I will be morbid if Zenkichi's "Devil Style" was eaten by Shiranuis "real eater"!!!! Devil Style is my favorite skill in this whole Mary Sue manga. |

iirc the chapters that started the Zen arc (118 I think? The 2 or 3 chapters where he had the shit beaten out of him by Medaka and was given the speech by Ajimu) were among the highest rated in the series' history. Its just the next few weeks didn't deliver as well as it should (well, more like every series at the time was revealing huge plots. So its more like it couldn't keep up with the other shit that was rolling with it).

hmm...is it just me or is devil style now ineffective? Zenkichi was able to dodge the blade by the 'width of a hair', and also miss Ruki ended up being the 'weakest' of the suitors... so either zenkichi can turn off its effect, or he somehow got rid of it~
I prefer zenkichi's hair black♥ |
