Seasonal prizes, comics and a YouTuber who loves surpassing oneself… Every Saturday, an update on the public’s favorite works.
Once is not customary, a manga appears in the top ten bestsellers. And not just any one. This is the French YouTuber Inoxtag, 22, whose documentary on his ascent of Everest has been a hit since its release in September. The sale of tickets for a single theatrical screening caused the AlloCiné platform to explode with 400,000 seats sold. Kaizenthen made available for free on his channel, has to date 38 million views… These peaks worth more than six figures leave you speechless. Instinct, co-written with director Basile Monnot and designer Charles Compain, takes the same path. Michel Lafon printed 400,000 copies, and sold more than 80,000 in four days. At the children’s book festival in Montreuil, restockings are going on at a rate of 1,500… Inoxtag, a good actor in surpassing oneself and reader of One Piece, imagined a shōnen: Haki, 19 years old, perceives the aura of those around him, but has an incurable illness. A start to a successful series in perspective. F.Rl
