Well guess Weekly Jump is slowly rising back up in terms of circulation.
Saddest thing, and I know it's always been the lowest in circulation but I wish IKKI could do better.....

Wow, Ikki is really quite low, it's a surprise to me that Viz is releasing their line in the U.S. I actually just bought one of the first of their line, so here's to hoping it's good.

I'm glad Jump is getting higher. Nice numbers all around...

However, its closest competitor, Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine, dropped from 1.77 million to 1.65 million.

Ouch, I didn't know that Weekly Shounen Magazine's circulation numbers have dropped so low in those past few years. The last numbers I had in mind were those of 2000/01* when they were around 3.5 million copies and thus a bit better than Jump (which fell from an all time high of 6.5 million copies in the mid-nineties to only 3 million in just five years). It's also sad to see how Afternoon fell from 200'000 copies in 2001 to only 110'000 in 2009. And all those great seinen magazine like Big Comic Spirits or Morning, they all dropped at least 30% in comparison to a decade earlier :(

* (this was the time when Love Hina was one of their biggest hits)

I'm curious, does anyone know what Libre's circulation numbers for Gold and BexBoy are? It doesn't appear (that I can find) on the referenced site.

It was far bigger before Ciao appeared. And now it has dropped to #4, even below Bessatsu Margaret. This is sad.

Other than the few noted, who else's circulation is up or down?
