For anyone interested to know which summer anime gave the biggest boost to its source material (these are just based on the sales of first volumes before and shortly after the anime with the date on the horizontal axis):

1) Prison School

Compared to its June sales ( before the release of the anime ), the sales of the first volume of Prison School in July almost tripled ( multiplied by 2.6 ) .



2) Gangsta

Compared to its sales in June, the sales of the first volume of Gangsta have doubled after the broadcast of the anime in July.



3) Himouto! Umaru-chan

Sales of the first volume have quadrupled in July ( 4.2 times ) compared to sales in June



4) Gakkou Gurashi

Sales of the first volume of Gakkou Gurashi in July have increased by a factor of 26.5 compared to sales in June. It is ranked only 4th below those mentioned above because the first volume of Gakkou Gurashi made ​​very few sales before the anime.



5) Aoharu x Kikanjuu

Sales of the first volumes of the manga have almost doubled ( 1.7 times ) after the release of its animated.



6) Akagami no Shirayukihime

Sales of Volume 1 of Akagami No. Shirayukihime almost quadrupled ( 3.5 times ) after the release of the anime compared to its sales in June

I think he meant it doesn't get super high boost in sales with an anime currently airing. Also, among its 2012 release, Shokugeki is 3rd in sales ranking . Jump needs to promote this series more .

In 2013-2014 Haikyuu!! jumps from 2,056,211 to 8,283,709 (anime released in October)


Also, can anyone explain to me the huge boost in Assassination Classroom this year please? Someone mentioned it is not from the anime or the live action movie .

TLRD's sale is low comparing to previous year. Is it because only 3 volumes were released this year ? But the anime and figures are selling well lol .

2012 sales : 1,299,723
2013 sales : 1,558,973
2014 sales : 1,349,681
Currently : 574368 + 122,638 = 697,006

Is Owari no Seraph that bad ? I'm planning to buy the English volumes .


Hopefully vol 15 of Shokugeki will reach half a million .


If Owari no Seraph is that bad, do you really think it will get on the top many times already? And it will not a 2 cour anime adaptation and it will not get this popular?

So yeah, Owari is not the most awesome but it is also not that bad. And if people think that Japanese taste are weird, then they are also saying that the other on the top beside Owari is also sucks.

And they might also tell that western people's taste are also weird coz Owari is also topping at the english book best selling.

So they should deal with it XD

Weekly Manga Series from Oricon Youtaiju
*2 199,180 Kingdom (キングダム) 
*4 176,738 Kangoku Gakuen (監獄学園) 

If next week Kingdom's sales decrease by 50k again I guess it'll have almost exhausted its boost, still it had an amazing run.

Also, I'm so happy for Prison School, the anime did its job. Now I wonder if there's even a point in making a season 2, though.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

One Punch-Man will be in top 10 by the end of the year... I really think the anime will be a huge hit and it will reach around 4 mil. copies (just a assumption of course). And the first one will be One Piece followed by NNT and then by AssClass (unless SnK will have another volume by the end of the year.. because AssClass will have one), but I could be wrong on the 3rd spot.

It should be doable if the anime is received well enough. Considering there are 9 volumes, if each gets about 200k in backlog sales it should make it to 4 million.

SnK's next volume is in December I think, so yeah it won't be counted this year. It still has a shot at third place, though, considering it's got legs and I could see it reaching 8.2/8.3, which is about what I'd expect AssClass to sell with its next volume. Kingdom is also part of this race, lol, which makes this year's third place really hard to predict.

I got the Summer ones from a Japanese friend on another forum. He in turn got them from a Japanese site: http://hon-hikidashi.jp/
I have no idea how to navigate on it so maybe you can ask help from Ejc, Kaioshin-sama or some other japanese here.

As for the Spring ones I just posted, well, Animeland posted them on their twitter:

Ehh. Why would OPM get 200k each in backlog sales? that's practically impossible for it. It's highest sales before the anime is 500k per volume in a year. especially considering the anime will most likely be a flop.

It's less popular than NNT and Haikyuu! before their anime.

Attack on Titan is a once in a decade deal, no way OPM will come even close it, and I don't think anyone here thinks it will.

But the thing is, OPM is the most hyped anime this upcoming fall in Japan, has a huge pre existing fanbase so it's word of mouth will spread like wood fire.

All of its volumes have been in the Top 500 since their release began 3 three years and a single volume sells nearly 500k (just as much a volume of Conan ) and far above Haikyuu (~250k); Tokyo Ghoul (~250k) and NNT (~200k) pre anime.

It has good chances of being huge.

I know it will be big. OK. I never denied that but many people think it will sell like 1 mllion per volume. And it isnt that hard to be the most hyped anime in next season because there like almost no very big competator.

we'll most likely get a glimpse of how huge OPM is going to be next week, given the recent nico pre screening. Or it wont rank in charts, who knows.

I saw on both Yaraon & nico most responses filled with praise on episode 1 & how MadHouse adapted it.

Well, Geralt talked about +200k per volume so not exactly 1 million per volume. But I personally don't see 1 mil as an impossibility, the only hindrance to that is the fact that it's more gag than battle oriented and ofc it's seinen. But it's already selling better than Gintama so who knows.

If Madhouse adapts and markets well, then it can lead to high tv ratings like Ore Monogatari, causing big boosts (like Kiseijuu or Overlord).

Nothing is set in stone yet.

Not to get into semantic. But there is a difference between popular and huge. New Madhouse is incapable of producing hits.

OreMono and overlord are mildly popular, not a hit, that's literally it.

I think so too.

this is funny because new madhouse is actually making better financial hits then old madhouse

Could be right but Madhouse never made a really big hit ever.

It's not that one volume will reach 1 mil. copies sold, but previous volumes will start selling because of the anime boost, so assuming volume 1 has 500k sold copies it could reach somewhere between 700-900k, it happened with other manga that got anime adaptation. And as Agafin said, even without a anime it manages to sale around 400-500k copies, where other manga without a anime adaptation sells around 200-300k that is if it's popular enough, Boku no Hero Academia is a good example.

Lol no. I find it ironic how you shitpost and pretend you know your shit about sales and the industry when you are more ignorant than the others.

Old madhouse:
1998) 19,418 Cardcaptor Sakura (カードキャプターさくら)
(2006) 15,021 DEATH NOTE
(2002) 10,998 Chobits (ちょびっツ)
(2006) *7,376 NANA
(1999) *7,745 Di Gi Charat
(1998) *5,816 TRIGUN

new Madhouse
(2014) 11,887 Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei
(2014) *8,316 No Game No Life (
(2010) *6,875 HIGHSCHOOL OF THE DEAD
(2012) *4,773 Oda Nobuna no Yabou
(2014) *3,648 Hanayamata (ハナヤマタ) [3/6 Vols]
(2013) *4,045 Diamond no Ace
(2013) *3,235 Chihayafuru 2

Old madhouse clearly had more hits.

500k before an anime isn't that uncommon in relative prescriptive of top sellers.

OPM being a big hit after the anime is unlikely. The only manga that got big boosts from a Madhouse anime was already established names like Hunter x Hunter (I'm not sure if you can even count it, since there was just reprints of the Chimera ant arc, which would have sold if the anime existed or not, the sales was on the same level HxH sold at, anyway) and Parayste (90% of the boost came from the live action movie, the anime was mostly irrelevant to anything)

Chihyafuru, OreMonogatari, Diamond no Ace, all had pretty average boosts.

Mahouka's boost was underwhelming to say the least LOL. Compare it to SAO. I bet if A-1 picture adapted it, it would have been a much bigger hit.

IIRC Mahouka was on the same level of SAO before anime, but didn't manage to reach SAO's level after the anime.

I can admit to NGNL.

Lol DnA and Chihyafuru didn't have great boosts at all. Just average.

I don't care about overlord to notice it's sales..

500k before a anime is pretty uncommon if you ask me.. The only manga I can think that sold like OPM... is Attack on Titan... Other than that... I don't know there might be some, but it's pretty rare for a series that doesn't have a anime to sell this much.

That's why I said ''in relative prescriptive of top sellers'', meaning not in manga in general but when comparing with top sellers. But of course 500k per volume for a manga is HUGE.

Manga that reach 500k per volume before an anime:
AssClass
Sakamoto desu ga? (it went as far as 900k in a year o_o)
Nanatsu no Taizai
Kyou wa Kaisha Yasumimasu (because of the J-drama)
Sangatsu no Lion
REAL (480k)
and some others.

OPM would have to sell 1 million per volume to break TG's record which to be honest is unlikely to happen.

Did Nanatsu have a volume like that? :o I remember Sakamoto Desu Ga, yeah that did sold a lot. The way I put it was that it sells good, because most of the top selling manga have a anime, so the publicity for it it's greater than the ones that don't.
