Holy cow! Top 5 in that week!
The volume was officially released in 2 June and that ranking is from May 29-June 4. :shock:

FT Trunks arc is truly a success.

Good job, Toyotaro. Hopefully it cracks the 300k barrier this time.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Oh wow. Over 90k copies in 2 days is really impressive.

The manga is plenty popular and rightfully so

Are we too old to enjoy new Dragon Ball movies/series?

The timing of the split still doesn't really make sense from a cause-effect perspective, but it's a better visual representation than Toei gave, for sure.

The Toei version says that Trunks caused the split, but later says Beerus caused the split right?
IT should be that Trunks' arrival caused the split, but Toriyama has different ideas I guess

No no no, I'm talking about the summary text in the Toei version. In the summary it mentions Trunks going back in time changed time. In the chart, it mentions Beerus causing the split

Is this an official time chart from TOEI/Toriyama or fanmade?

Was it ever explained why weren't F chapters included in volume release? Sure, the original promo manga didn't cover the whole movie but it would require little much to finish it and include in volume release. Despite not being a fan of it, it just doesn't feel like Super manga is 'complete' without it

TV ratings seem to reflect that as well, overall highest average for any saga yet. Wonder if this directly translates into toy/merch sales for FT-specific stuff

Apparently DBS Volume 1 was #2 in sales ranking in US. I imagine amongst the comic/graphic novel/manga category.

The manga is on-fire.
On a side note, Boruto volume 1 ranked #2 too. Both lost to a comic book named Saga by Brian K. Vaughan.

That's awesome.

The success of the manga internationally is very well deserved.

Hopefully the success translates into some kind of collected volume with the finished RoF arc, It seemed like a good idea to skip it at the time but It sucks when you read through super and go from BoG to the Champa arc.

I don't know, for now they have already released in volumes what they had. I wish they had done an extended version of the first arc and also the missing RoF arc before that.

Movie is available, plus super arc and with the internet, no one will miss anything if RoF won't be in the manga.

The manga feels incomplete without it though, we know what happens but missing Toyotaro's interpretation really sucks. It's going to be stranger if Freeza is in the universe survival arc of the manga and Goku acknowledges RoF.

Well I assume Toyotaru skipped over RoF because there wasn't much else for him to add or spin on, which the movie or anime haven't done.

I figured Shueisha made him?
