Is 1.5 million good after a year? I don't know how to judge.

Well considering it hasn't even been out in the west, it looks good.

1.5 million divided by 5 volumes equals 300,000 copies per volume. You can see the 100,000 copies as the "mainstream barrier", so it done 3 times that amount that is pretty good.

Now to be Super Popular it needs at least 500k, and to be Mega Popular close or even surpass the 1M copies per volume.

Of course selling over a million is good within a year. Volume 5 hasn't release yet, so this number should increase.

Wish Viz would come out with some physical volumes of this to add a little bit to that number! I hope they have plans for it soon enough.

I agree, these are my two favorite titles running in Shonen Jump right now.

In this era of digital manga, that is a great sales figure.

Happy this series is doing well. I'm sure it'll become HUGE after a (probable) anime adaptation is made.
