Anybody know how much they sold? is 7000 volumes a good estimate for *1?


7000 is way too much,NY population is around 15 times lower than Japan.
Not only this as the amount of people buying mangas is also way lower.


The Times' list is for best-selling books in the US, not just NY.

It's about 1k for the weekly first place, sometimes 2. It's really low, compared to France.

i.e:

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-06-08/bookscan-manga-ranking-may-28-june-3


And I think Naruto in it's entire run sold less than 15 million volumes in the US. Despite topping the list the most after Dragonball.

Whoops seems it's not that lower compared to France. I mistakenly assumed that the 50-100k sales I saw were monthly but it's yearly.

It's still higher in France but not by an extreme lot. Naruto and Sailor moon are about 50k unit yearly I think.

But when you consider the fact of population on both country,and that people from others country even buy from US sometimes.It clearly shows that france market manga is very big.

Founf this article interesting
http://factsanddetails.com/japan/cat20/sub135/item1862.html

China is probably very big too,if they don't pirate everything.

I remember seeing a news about a One Piece bank on China,and other about a Naruto statue or something like it.

I think Citrus, Hatsune, and Noragami Vol. 1 are the biggest surprises on this list. I didn't think yuri manga sold well.

AssClass is looking like a big hit and the anime just started.

Wow, I really didn't expect Citrus to make the list at all! It's the biggest hit yuri manga since Girl Friends I think. I'm really happy about that; and Noragami is back too!

I really need to buy the Unofficial Hatsune Mix. I read a bit of it at the bookstore and it's great.

Lots of neat surprises this week.

RightStuff has sales based on publishers. Citrus and Girl Friends are both Seven Seas Entertainment, and, right now, they just started a Dark Horse sale, publisher of UHM. Thanks for the recommendations. I'm glad to see yuri as a new (?) genre within manga and anime -- I'm even seeing some yuri 4-koma gag manga, not just the romance and drama stories!

EDIT: The omake of the author's comments in GF is hilarious! :D
