Kekkaishi was indeed on hiatus, but for an unusually long four weeks until that episode. I think the "back" in the blurb is in reference to that. Kekkaishi has actually been hovering in the 7-8% ratings, with at least seven times in the 6% range.

Oh the spring hiatus. I'd forgotten about the 'spring hiatus.' I remember when I used to follow InuYasha raw (Kekkaishi is in the same time slot) that happened every year, along with a winter one.
Thanks for the correction. I'd read 8-9% elsewhere. Yeah but even those ratings would usually put it in the top ten. While those are excellent ratings for any other anime, I'd kind of picked up that it's problematic if anything in that Conan lead in consistently falls below eight percent. I hope I'm wrong and that it has a long and successful run.

As for Bleach and Naruto. It has absolutely not always outsold Naruto and outrated it. Naruto is falling in popularity, as it has been going on much longer and hasn't been holding a consistent quality level.
But Bleach isn't really gaining more popularity, just staying consistent in popularity. Give it ten volumes, it will start declining in popularity just like Naruto. The writing is already displaying warning signs. |
But One Piece is older than Naruto & Conan & the 2 titles above it are even older, so the idea older=fewer viewers is wrong.

Actually no, Conan is older than One Piece.
But One Piece and Conan both have maintained a consistent level of quality throughout the entire series. Many, if not most, shounen manga suffer writing wise as they get further along/older. Naruto is already greatly suffering, Bleach is well on its way. That's what I meant. If the writing stays solid, the fans will stay.
