MangaPlus views as of Issue #28

Time for Mangaplus views chart and analysis!

Ichi the Witch:
>Strongest start: Launched with the highest views among all four titles.
>Second spike: Notably rises again around chapter 22–24, possibly due to a plot twist, a color page, or promotion.
>Gradual decline: Despite the rebound, views taper off again toward later chapters.
>Takeaway: Ichi enjoys high international curiosity and strong moments of regained attention but struggles to sustain long-term momentum.

Hima-Ten!
>Stable performance: After the initial dip post-launch, it maintains a consistently flat line, hovering around ~100k views.
>No spikes, no crashes: It's the most stable of the bunch, indicating a loyal but niche readership.
>Takeaway: Not flashy, but steady. Could be a "cult favorite" that lacks viral appeal.

Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi:
>Sharp initial drop: After a decent start, Kiyoshi’s views plummet quickly within a few chapters.
>Mild rebound mid-run: There’s a small bump between chapters 18–24, likely due to plot developments.
>Overall decline: Views remain in steady descent, falling below even Hima-Ten! by later chapters.
>Takeaway: Despite editorial support, it struggles to retain viewership—strong signs of waning interest.

Shinobi Undercover:
>Early interest: Starts well and even leads the pack at chapter 5.
>Fast drop-off: Falls below 100k views soon after and doesn't recover.
>Takeaway: The premise may have intrigued readers initially, but retention is poor—likely due to weak narrative hook or pacing issues.
