The answer, I believe, is obvious to anyone reading the series. This poses a very valid question: why? Why is an author so successful as Kishimoto performing so poorly on all fronts? Kishimoto being interviewed Not only have its sales been incredibly disappointing given Kishimoto’s status as a mangaka, but it’s also been hanging around the bottom of the Weekly Shonen Jump table of contents for weeks now, meaning that it’s not performing very well on the weekly reader surveys. Given all this, it’s certainly safe to say that Masashi Kishimoto’s Samurai 8: The Tale of Hachimaru is not in a very good place right now. All that from a series published exclusively via the digital Jump Plus and from a relatively unknown author. SPY x FAMILY volume 2 managed to sell over 100,000 units, with reports coming in that the series as a whole has managed to achieve 800,000 units sold both in paper and digital.

Studio ufotable’s anime has also served to raise the profile of the original manga and its author – especially the recent anime movie announcement – which also meant that Koyoharu Gotouge’s short manga collection managed fifth place at 94,166 units sold.īut what lies above the Gotouge collection at fourth place paints Samurai 8’s sales in a very bad light. The anime has just ended, so there are no doubt many anime-only watchers who decided to jump into the original manga to continue on with the story. To a certain extent, Kimetsu no Yaiba’s sales were to be expected.
It was only beaten out by One Piece volume 94, but that’s hardly a fair competition. Koyoharu Gotouge’s Kimetsu no Yaiba absolutely dominated the rankings this week, with almost every single volume in the top 30 and the latest volume 17 managing to shift a whopping 368,502 units. What makes Samurai 8’s sales appear even worse is how they stack up in comparison with newer series that are headed up by less experienced authors then Kishimoto. That’s certainly a far cry from the massive numbers that Kishimoto manage to shift back during the Naruto days. Looking at the numbers, we can see that volume 1 and volume 2 – released together at the same time on October 4 – barely managed to break 20,000 units. Samurai 8’s sales were so disappointing that it didn’t even manage to enter the top 30 on Oricon’s chart.

Today saw Oricon update their weekly comic rankings, showing how poorly Masashi Kishimoto’s new series Samurai 8: The Tale of Hachimaru is doing in terms of sales alongside other, more innovative series such as Kimetsu no Yaiba and SPY x FAMILY.
