kek

>99% shonenshit
>good taste

Isn't shounenshit raping capeshit so hard in the US?

SJWs really did a number on western comics huh

>b-but Yas Forums said MHA was more popular in the west!

>NPD BookScan's Top 20 adult graphic novels list for March
Literally who? Also
>adult graphic novel
Lol

>shounenshit
>adult
heh...

What's anime and manga? I watch Japanese TV series and read adult graphic novels.

this is my biggest problems with western categorisation. trying to define graphic novel as "for adult" is just a stupid idea. the fact that they see comic and animation as stuff for kids instead of form of media, using drawing to tell stories instead of words or life action.

>MHA 7 volumes ranked
>DS only two

>b-b-b-but nips has shit taste

>What's anime and manga?
Chinese cartoons and comics

it's the beginning of a trend

NPD are the guys who track shit in the US I think, their tracking is pretty reliable as far as I know, atleast for games, I'd assume the same is true here.

nothing beats MHA in burgerland, KnY might overtake it outside of it though.

Demon Slayer is unironically good but the fanbase is cancer because it's mainstream

MHAbros... I thought we were popular in the US

Burgerfats believe if a story contains blood, language and fanservice then it must be for adults. Obviously nobody younger than 18 knows that such obscenities exist.

Yes, they sale more than most big 2(Marvel/DC) titles, mostly ones with anime adaptation though.
More often than not, I hear manga on others' pull list. Ask Yas Forums I guess.

so, basically just like every well known shounen?

>All shounen shit
Explain yourself Amerimutt?

Why exactly is the best-selling volume the one with Adult Nezuko on the cover?
I can't think of any other reason it would be the best selling volume out of 19
I thought it'd be Volume 1, are americans such coomers really?

Mangas in general need an adaptation to really sell well in the west, which is somewhat understandable when you consider that mangas get published in magazines in japan thus have an immediate access to a potential pool of readerbase, while in the west this isn't the case so it's basically all based on hearsay (except for jump stuff to an extent).

...it's the only volume that actually released in march...

Based

Komi-san has no adaptation and does well in the west.

Did TLanon show up?

It does ok, but it can't really duke it out with the actually big sellers in the west.

Compare it to japan and you'll see that while yes the anime boost can indeed do crazy things, there are also plenty of examples of series coming out, blowing up and joining the heavy hitters regardless of adaptations. This doesn't really happen in the west.

in ~2 hours

Nice desu

By western standards, it is. For the east, it's just Tuesday.
