[i]Ana: merged posts. Nakahara BL records theirs in the last month of the year; Books Showado records theirs at the beginning of the next year. Basically, it's 2005/12 vs 2006/1.

Nana probably outsold One Piece. The most popular shoujo ever.

This numbers are that year best 1st print volume of each series.

By the One Piece Japanese Wikipedia it says it lost its 1st place in 2005(became the 2nd place). Is not hard to believe, because Nana best 1st print volume jumped from 4th place in 2004 to 1st in 2005.
Certainly Nana received a boost due to the 1st Live-action movie that came in September.

Thank you, bigivelfhq, and pardon the late reply; I don't check here much anymore. I've added a note for 02, 03, and 05, but won't dwell too much on which volume was released since Shueisha itself didn't provide it (plus, busy). I'm going to leave the "Best Selling Manga" line since that was what they placed in their caption.

It may seem confusing and strange the fact that they put "Best Selling Manga" when is prints, because for us simple consumers when we hear of sales we think of what the retailers sell to us. For a publisher company their sales is what they sell to the retailers, the retailers are in fact their costumers and not the manga readers, and so the sales are in fact the print numbers.

The fact that they just place the 1st print, must be for convenience, being it easier to get the numbers.
