Gosho Aoyama's Reaction

[kkslider5552000]

I was alarmingly upset regarding what he said about retiring by the age of 53 (i.e. about six years from now!)

I wonder what year is 6 years from now...hmm...

I think he also said that he'd probably come out of retirement since he loves drawing so much so you never know!

@red.orchid : One Piece sold 23 million volumes in the last six months (20 million more than the 2nd best selling series which is Gantz).

(still doesn't make it good in my eyes, but that's just me)

If I was a mangaka, that would scare me actually.

What about the anime? do they have fillers or AO's like Conan?

Very few of them, and they are actually pretty fun too.

Do they actually manage to not make it  a DBZ 2.0 in terms of pacing with "very few" AOs ?

I'm actually more surprised that Gantz is the 2nd best selling series, I didn't think it was actually that popular. :I

Ignoring that 2011 isn't half over yet (hint: 6/1 isn't six months over, it's 5 months over), I don't even see Gantz on that list.  How could it be the second best selling title in the last 6 months if it didn't even have a volume sell over 331,000 in the last five months?  And how could One Piece sell 23 million in the last six months if it didn't even break 10 million in the last 5 months?  Where are you getting your numbers?

Many Gantz volumes must have come out in the last 6 months, or people are buying the old volumes but not enough for them to be in the list you're linking to.

Sounds like that's probably the case.  Same with the missing 13 some odd million One Piece copies.

I think Gosho'll faint if he find this place...and if he already has, then he's most probably here

Hiding among us... waiting...

Hiding? In the shadows? LIKE A COMMUNIST NINJA?

[Commi-Ninja]

You found me out!

*hides*

[Kaito Lady]

*hides*

DON'T HIDE GOSHO COME BACK!!!!

*goes to find commi/gosho*

[Commi-Ninja]

Let's just ignore the fact that Commi can't draw to save her life.
