Bleach sales are still surprisingly high considering the generally negative buzz about the ending.

Flying Witchcraft Works.

Slight decline for Triage X, but still good. Buy it folks.

Doesn't matter if endins sucks. It's last volume of long running manga, a lot of people would want to have it because of memories.
390k in 2 weeks is still small, it should be more. It's last volume lol.

It's in line with how Bleach had been selling recently, and I think Jump should be worried that the last volume of this long-past-its-prime series still outsold the most recent volumes of every other series in the magazine except for One Piece, Hunter x Hunter and Haikyuu.

Woohoo! Love Lab made the charts for the first time! I'm glad that the manga author continues the series even though it's not nearly as popular as her other ongoing serialization.

Bleach is a series with a huge fan base, it doesn't matter if the ending sucks, for example there was a similar reaction to the world god only knows' ending (as in it was also rushed) and it's last volume still sold pretty well

The quality tanked, but Bleach can still boast of its legacy and brand name recognition.

Whatever manga Tite Kubo does next (assuming he does another one), they can still show off that it's "from the creator of Bleach!" It's not like the series was tarnished and disgraced to where other people distance themselves from it. Tite Kubo is not Richard Nixon.

This, people overreact way too much and say that everyone hates it or something when it has a huge fanbase, I think it's just shitposters but still.

Bleach went from being one of the best selling manga to to... still being one of the best selling manga, while it did drop it's not like it was some undesirable series or something and it still sells more than 99% of manga.
