Volume 3 of Astral Buddy didn't have a visible rank in Top 50. Based on the release date and the last two #50 holders, in 10 days it's definitely under 27k, and that's the best case scenario. Same with Volume 2. Volume 1 had a measely 16.7k in a full week. Railgun Volume 13 had the same release date as Astral Buddy Volume 1, and Railgun dropped out from the Top 50 with 122k, and started with 94k in a full week.
No visible rank for Volume 11 of Accelerator. Same for Volume 10. Volume 9 had 12.4k in 4 days. Didn't rank next week, so best case scenario again, 27k. Volume 8 had almost a full week out, 6 days, and still didn't rank, so it couldn't break past 17k, the #50 holder. These are all the Nectar arc volumes so far. Volume 7, last volume of the Necromancer arc didn't rank. Don't know if they are really axed, but the numbers are trash and/or non-existent compared to Railgun. Truth to be told, the Index manga version also has non-existent sales, but that is more or less a prestige thing to conclude at this point, at least OT. |

Accelerator (despite being the amongst the worst of the Toaru Series) still managed to finish its arc properly. There just wasn't any interesting story to tell with him because Accelerator is only interesting as a character when he is undergoing his series-spanning character arc. Astral Buddy also ended but only after it properly finished its titular arc as well. We'll probably see another full-fledged spinoff with Hokaze as the MC later on. She's a fun character. AB is actually more successful compared to Accelerator due to the volumes getting new printings recently.

And I was ultimately proven right about Astral Buddy with Nogi and the Railgun editor confirming that Astral Buddy was planned to be 4 volumes from the beginning. And there are hopes (from the editor) that Nogi will come back for a new spinoff sometime in the future (if not necessarily with Junko as MC).
