[Medalist] The medalist had sold 2.3 million copies by the time volume 14 was released, with 1.5 million copies sold after the anime adaptation.

Japan Otaku Reviews+

To be frank, it’s a number we didn’t predict at all, and in particular, the sales of electronics are doing well and continue to increase.

It seems so.

(from the April issue of So)

Tsurumaikada Medalist

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

After all, a major reprint is probably referred to when it exceeds 50,000 or 100,000 copies.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Thank you ENGI… Yonezu… Akiko… Daisuke… Yuzuru…

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx22

Where are the volumes 13 and 14 that I don’t know about…

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

If it’s a good product, it will sell.

Got it, ramen bald guy.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx20

>>5

That aside, advertising is important.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>5

Those who are feeding on the information about Yonezu…!

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>5

No matter how good a product is, it won’t sell if it’s not known.

71: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>65

Rather, it’s a story about how the anime promotion boosted it, right?

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Kindle rankings were once dominated by medalists, which is a good thing.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it spreads, it’s something that can appeal to pretty much everyone…

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve been following it since the first installment, so I’m quite proud…

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if this includes electrons as well.

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

This month’s story is really a good one.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>11

It’s the kind of weight that makes you think, “Is it really okay to pack three lives into one episode?!”

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

Before it was animated, the figure was 800,000 copies.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

What it boils down to is that ENGI put all their effort into creating something that overturns previous evaluations.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s amazing that it’s being turned into an anime!

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rather, the number was 800,000 copies before it was animated…

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like there are about two extra hurdles for youth magazines to become popular beyond just core manga fans.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are no villains who interfere with the competition or use underhanded tactics, making it easy to read, but on the other hand, realistic failures are presented smoothly, which is often quite painful.

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

Emotionally, I would be fine with selling 500 billion copies.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>21

Even without a name, my heart is like Yonezu.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s nice that there aren’t any wicked adults, except for a very small part.

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

>>22

The ultimate one appeared in the latest episode…

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>26

That said, I think it can be excluded because it’s just text in one panel.

I don’t think it will be explored deeply in the manga.

33: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>32

It’s not something that can be easily dismissed…

28: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>22

A small part of it is really wicked and malicious…

Well, it’s kind of like a flavor, but it’s spicy.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>22

In the end, it’s going to be me paying for the skating.

Please don’t cause any more trouble. Contact me after everything is over.

Including that, it’s bad to be injured.

Apologizing and bowing to the sponsor. That is what it means to be a professional.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>82

The combination of Teacher Tsukasa and Inori in the latter half’s obscured violence.

84: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>82

Stop this kind of thing!

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

I also bought it after it was adapted into an anime.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like Yonekawa is already working on new songs…

Gorilla and mermaid, etc…

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hey Yonezu, please make songs for Iruka-chan and Hikari-chan… They’re characters I support, like Yuzuru Hanyu…

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m grateful that the misunderstanding between adults and children was quickly resolved in the first episode, as it was quite painful.

In reality, things like this can get complicated for a lifetime…

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s helpful to read about not dragging stress factors for months.

31: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Hello, this is Yonezu. Let me sing the theme song.

Creating an original work that leads to that is the ultimate.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are many adults working hard for their children, which naturally makes them feel like failures.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

Coach Gori is just too much of a person of integrity.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

This month’s After had a super version of Yasupapa with a dad from a new volleyball manga, giving it a high level of bad parenting.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

Just to say, this is just a magazine created like this.

Well, since it’s just a number, I think it’ll be fine.

http://shop.tsukuru.co.jp/shopdetail/000000000210/ct5/page1/recommend/

42: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>37

But they’re suddenly talking about volume 14, huh?

Only up to volume 12 has been released so far.

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>42

I just happened to check because it was at hand, but there’s no mention of volume 14, so it’s a mistake in the thread title.

“It says that the cumulative total for the paper version will reach 2.3 million copies when the next volume, the 13th, is released.”

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>37

Since it’s a general paper, they could at least pay for the copyright to use a cover illustration…

50: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>45

You can tell by looking at past issues, but this magazine has always used paper cutouts for the cover, so I think using official images would actually stand out awkwardly.

38: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It seems that the sales are lower than expected when the numbers are revealed.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought I had heard it somewhere, could it be about a magazine like Yukan Fuji?

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>39

I don’t think so at all…

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since it became an anime, about five people around me have been reading it.

Before the anime adaptation, the two who recommended me to read it had a really big impact.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

They might be deciding on the number of copies…

No, that’s not it…

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

That’s true… The 13th volume is coming out the month after next…

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

When you go from anime to manga, you really get amazed by the skill of the drawings.

Honestly, if you categorize it as a sports manga, the art quality seems to rank in the all-time top 10.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>47

So, from the perspective of someone who loves manga, I just couldn’t get into the anime and dropped it partway.

I understand well that this direction was the only option after reading P’s interview, and I don’t deny the work itself at all.

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I should have doubted the anonymous source before questioning the credibility of the magazine!

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like that So interviews minor writers.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

The author mentioned that the pressure of not having sales catch up despite being promoted has been resolved, which is reassuring.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

For all the fuss that was made, it’s only around 2 million copies…

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>54

Common in afternoon manga.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>54

I don’t think young boys will reach for a manga featuring a girl in a figure costume prominently on the cover, but I believe it has been doing quite well.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

Now is the time to reprint the Napikawa doujinshi!

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

Anime really makes a big impact when it hits.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

It had probably sold that much before it was animated.

I thought it was only natural for it to sell well…

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the beginning, they casually did things like not having the medalist in the local bookstore on the release day.

It finally started to be displayed for sale after it started selling.

61: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>60

Of course… a bookstore is a business too.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

This month was interesting.

64: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I thought it was already pretty famous since the fun had spread on social media even before the anime adaptation, but I guess it was just the loud voices of a typical subset of manga readers…

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>64

Well, to be honest, there are quite a few people who are satisfied just reading it on Magapoke and such.

Just because everyone is reading it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s selling well in today’s world.

66: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Yonezu’s statement that all of humanity should read it also means that it deserves to sell even more!

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

When you want to get a little ahead of the anime and take a look, it ends up burning your brain with the All Japan Novice.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

However, I heard that the second season faced a critical situation due to a lack of animators.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>68

Isn’t ENGI always in a crisis situation?

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>68

There were times in the first season when the animation part was a bit shaky…

69: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It seems that afternoon tea is much more minor than I thought.

70: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Aren’t the members I’m supporting on a whole different level?

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>70

No way!

The members I’m cheering for are really standing out!

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>78

It would be great if they would do a second season too!

73: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I wasn’t trying to provoke, but I thought it would be selling a bit more.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>73

Rather, I think it’s impressive how much it has grown despite not doing well overseas.

74: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Well, if the original work wasn’t good, that anime adaptation wouldn’t have been possible either.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

Anime is perfect as a promotional tool.

Of course, it’s precisely because of the quality of the original work.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was said that the fan book would have a reprint, but it only sold about 10,000 copies initially, so that’s how it is.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m seeing images coming through from manga app ads on social media.

It’s impressive how they can run ads with such a lack of enthusiasm in their promotions, considering how much their recognition has increased.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

Yonezu (Should I write a song about dolphins…)
