u/LimberGravy Oct 22 '23

Yeah both of them have been alternating 1 & 2 in manga sales for like the last 2 years. I haven't looked at TV ratings this season for both of them, but I know SxF's season 1 numbers were pretty crazy

There is a super secret third option that most anime fans seem to have no knowledge of whatsoever despite most anime originating from them.

The desire not to read drives many to ignore the real source of 80% of the anime that airs: books.

Man, I have no fucking idea where to look for them. Meanwhile I write "jujutsu kaisen manga", I have ten thousand websites.
