"All your favorite series are in a weekly magazine, and you can buy those weekly chapters as a collected volume, eight chapters or so per book" is basically perfect market play for comics, and that more than anything is probably why manga is more successful than western comics.

Demon Slayer would not have drawn nearly as much attention if it wasn't in the same book as One Piece and people were like "I might as well read this since it is on the way to One Piece". That's the power of Jump Magazine, and things like it, and modern western comics could basically... not ever do this now. Which is ironic because it kinda used to be like this! Superman didn't originate in Superman, he originated in Action Comics 1, an anthology of sorts.
