New Day, New Story. A new story, moving forward. 10th ANNIVERSARY
Free release sells better.I understand, but it’s amazing Japanese.
I think there’s a phenomenon where, because entertainment is overflowing, people won’t engage unless it’s something they can only access by paying.
First, it’s probably important to have people see it… there’s too much entertainment in the world.
It’s amazing to make someone think “I want to buy this book” even when it’s free to read.
>>4Even though a dark and hard story can be incredibly enjoyable on the first try,
I think it’s difficult because it’s easy to think, “Since rereading is tough, maybe it’s better to just buy the paperback…”
>>5It’s just amazing… Berserk!
>>4To that end, I will have the authors write special content for free.
Since there are usually many things you can watch for free after they get adapted into anime, that’s also a reason why they become popular.
I heard that K2 sold surprisingly well after being made available for free.
>>8I agree, and I also have the entire set.
>>8It’s a masterpiece that needs no explanation… but I realized it was actually really buried in the public eye.
>>28I had some knowledge, like that of a strange doctor from Mr. Ajikko, but there was never a moment when I felt the switch to read it turned on.
>>28I thought it would just be a ridiculous medical manga paying homage to Fist of the North Star, but it turned out to be really interesting, so I ended up buying all the volumes.
>>43Well, this isn’t as wrong as it seems…
Outside of Japan, this magazine is free, and only in Japan do people pay to read it.
I express my gratitude by paying for the content that I was able to enjoy for free.
I usually don’t buy manga from the weekly magazine I subscribe to unless it’s really interesting, but I easily buy limited-time free manga.
Gash 2 is paid, but it’s selling quite well.
It seems that having about half of it available for preview before the release date is effective.
Having rich bonus content in a paperback increases satisfaction and becomes a reason to keep buying.
The demonic city will make you fall in love with the characters for free in the main story, so you’ll buy it as a bonus along with some breasts.
A system where people who liked it after being offered for free pay for it later.
It reminds me of the gaming trend of being free-to-play.
>>18Is it true that only about 5% of the people provide the money?
In a world where manga is saturated
Without recognition, you can’t even step onto the stage of whether something sells or not.
If you don’t show the contents, there’s no way to decide whether to buy or not.
So let me play all the games for free quickly.
Even for paid manga, it’s standard now for the first few episodes to be continuously available for free as samples.
Readers often read the first few chapters before buying a paperback, influenced by what they hear about its reputation.
It seems that a strong hook that makes you want to continue reading this manga from the first few chapters is necessary now.
Why are the volumes selling even though all the episodes are free…?!
>>23I want to re-read it, or there are original illustrations in the paperback, or it’s a donation.
>>23I started reading, but the free trial ended.
There are types of books that you want to line up on your bookshelf, right?
The story is interesting, but I dislike it when the episodes are fragmented, so I sometimes hesitate to buy it.
The Quiet Don also sold incredibly well when it was made available for free during the COVID pandemic, right?
>>29That has been occupying the free ranking of Seymour all this time.
It’s also a collector’s item.
There are people who are particular about physical copies instead of games, books, e-books, or digital versions.
The design of “Land of the Lustrous” makes you want to keep it as a physical book.
Even in the past, you could do some reading while standing…
With the increase in content that doesn’t charge a fee,
Just the thought of charging money makes it a hassle… and then the feeling of “well, forget it…” arises.
>>34When new apps are pushed in without charging, the hassle outweighs the benefits…
I think it’s quite powerful that the latest episode is free without any particular cost.
It’s so great that all episodes are free for the first time for ongoing works on Jump+…
I felt touched by a forgetting battery, but it feels like an illegal app.
Usually, when all episodes are released for free, it becomes a hot topic, but Kaito 8 is not talked about at all…
If all episodes are free, there’s no need to buy the volumes, right? → I ended up buying the entire series…
I did a few of these, and I don’t know what it is, but it’s amazing.
>>41Great job!
Sometimes there are sales where electronics overlap with discounts of 10 yen or 100 yen.
