I was going to make a post with comments from the Japanese public, but there’s nothing interesting since criticism of the manga has practically stopped over there. The only noteworthy thing is that there was apparently a typo in Aria’s speech around the middle of page 10 (
page 11 here):
Heavenly Sphere
アリアちゃんは何言ってんの
(10ページ)
多分これ修正されるかな
What is Aria-chan even talking about?
(Page 10)
This will probably get edited, I think.
HeavenlySphere
修正されてら
It’s already been edited.
ともっちっち
向こうからコチラへの干渉は可能....
とか、そんな事でしょうねぇ.... 誤植にしても酷すぎる...(笑)
Interference from their side to ours is possible...
Or something like that, huh... Even as a typo, it's way too bad... (lol)
Regarding sales of Volume 2, released on 2025-07-09, they are solid. According to
Shoseki Ranking data for estimated physical copies sold, approximately 8,050 copies sold in the first week; 4,199 in the second week; 1,820 in the third; and 1,245 in the fourth week. This totals 15,314 copies sold within the first month, nearly double the first volume’s first-month sales of around 8,523 copies.
Also, to somewhat validate the Shoseki Ranking data,
@Josu_ke, using ORICON data, almost always posts the weekly list of the top 50 best-selling manga (physical copies) on X. In the
first week of sales, Volume 2 ranked 41st with 7,912 copies sold, which closely aligns with the Shoseki Ranking data.
No spoilers for chapter 42 since the manga has been on hiatus for two weeks. Maybe a new chapter will come out on Wednesday, and if it does, I’ll probably post spoilers on Thursday.
Thanks for the chapter!
