quote:

Two: Umaru's nendoroid is on its second release, has more merch with mini-nendoroid, and the blu ray sales are as high as MonMusu at 4000+ units after one week of sales. Those are very drat good indicators that a second season will be made if/when there is enough material.

Himoutos are good.

If I were to guess: additional sales of the manga being attributed to the success of the anime.

Considering that the mangas are 500 yen a copy and the blurays are fuckin 7,000 yen a copy, that makes sense.

Also it is 4000 in one week. Pretty sure that 1.7 million was not in a week.

The first week of release is probably going to be the only time with a meaningful amount of sales, while the manga sales bump will probably go throughout the season.

True.

Either way, i'm glad its doing so well.

1.7m is probably the number of manga in print. though there was a recent article about Umaru manga hitting 2m units.

I really like Umaru as a series, and I hope that The Jobless Siblings does something more with its premise in the future, much like Umaru did when it moved past just "Umaru is a selfish poo poo" stuff. It managed to continue to have that for a time, while bringing in new characters and making the whole thing more interesting, before evolving past the original premise, but without losing the charm. I still really like The Jobless Siblings, but I feel like there's only so far you can take the "two shut-in siblings" gimmick, which I feel like the Umaru author realized pretty quickly and was better for it. Then again, Jobless Siblings is 1-5 pages a chapter(why such a disparity of pages between chapters?), though Umaru isn't much longer.

The author makes only as much as they want each chapter to be.

Also the batoto scans arent nearly as far as the other scan group is

Wooooow.. Im surprised that plotline got followed up so quickly!! And now we have to wait a week or so to figure out whats going on!

Sharkopath

Also the neighbor lady eventually starts hanging out with everybody which is neat.

The Jobless Siblings is different from Umaru where the run into the ground joke is that umaru is a spoiled brat in that the joke is about two siblings having fun and goofing off and loving each other with their friends and family. Direct comparison doesn't really work, it's already at the point Umaru is at and only gets more fun as more and more people start hanging out.
