Congrats to Prison School, Shokugeki and OPM
S2s maybe?
I don't really understand why Kingdom is so high in the ranking though.
The first Tokyo Ghoul manga is still in the ranking lmao.

So a Japanese site (Hon-hikidashi) posted a list of series (both manga and light novels) which have had the best anime boost this Fall. They measure the magnitude of a boost as the factor by which the weekly sales of the first volume (after the anime's debut) have increased compared to what they were prior to it, with an illustrative graph (they give priority to those whose sales are bigger overall). They probably buy this data from Oricon since most of those series don't make the weekly Top 50 lists.

Best anime boosts this fall:

1) One-punch Man



Compared to sales in September, sales of the first volume tripled (multiplied by 3.2) in October, after the anime.

Graph of the evolution of sales of the first volume:



2) Rakudai no Kishi Cavalry



Similarly, sales of the first volume were multiplied by 4.6 after the anime.

Graph:



3) Hokuto no Ken - Taste of Strawberry



Sales of the first volume in October almost doubled (1.8 times) compared to sales in September.

Graph:



4) Attack on Titan - Junior High School



After the anime, sales have tripled for Volume 1 (multiplied by 3.1) compared to sales in September.

Graph:



5) Asterisk war



Compared to sales in September, sales of the first volumes of the manga have quadrupled (multiplied by 4.4) following the release of its anime.

Graph:


The most pleasant surprise over there is Attack on Titan - Junior High School imo.

Really glad to see One Piece placed #1 again, also nice to see Kangoku Gakuen on Top 10, and also happy for Naruto (last time in charts?).

Manga Sales by Volumes
*5. 2,000,137 Shingeki no Kyojin Vol.15
*8. 1,324,693 Naruto Vol.72


Congrats to SNK for breaking 2mil marks, and for Naruto's Last Volume to be best selling of all Naruto Volume (also best selling Last Volume of all WSJ manga from 2008 to 2015).

Man, I agree with Comic_Sans (his favoite manga is tokyo ghoul) that tokyo ghoul the masterpiece and best manga of all time isn't first place is just bad and sad at the same time. Comic_Sans is right with his statement. Man people in japan with theirs bad taste :/
How great would it be if they had godlike taste like me or comic_sans or akapilka, will never happen I know:(

Unfortunately, only two volumes of SAO has been published this year... And It still sold over a million copies. That's impressive! Im glad.
Danmachi still good as a first placer. I like it!

Well, There was a huge decrease in NNT sales, so its obvious. I dont think something will ever beat One Piece, unless it stops being published.

For manga, I'm happy to see Haikyuu!, Prison School, Owari no seraph, Gintama, Orange and Kuroshitsuji. Atleast Kuroshitsuji made it in the top, that what I was worried about XD

About Ln, wow, I didn't know that people like MAHOUKA more than SAO XD I like both tho, and that biblia, really wanna know what's so amazing about it :3

When will the top 500 sales be release? I want to compare the individual volume sales for snk from last year sales. But I can't do that without the limited edition.

What I do know is that all three regular edition for this year sold more than last year regular edition sales for snk.

2014:
*4. 1,921,457 Shingeki no Kyojin Vol.13
*5. 1,895,305 Shingeki no Kyojin Vol.12
*6. 1,773,871 Shingeki no Kyojin Vol.14

2015:
*5. 2,000,137 Shingeki no Kyojin Vol.15
*6. 1,920,780 Shingeki no Kyojin Vol.16
*7. 1,807,155 Shingeki no Kyojin Vol.17

U say that it sold around 1.3m this year (it showed 1.1m) and if it sold another volume then how can it make it the top 30 when cutoff is around 1.9m~2m.?!? Are you u saying the extra volume will bring a whopping 600-700k in sales?

Are u insane!?!? LOL. accept that toriko wont make top 30 without its anime which wont happen.

#forevernotinthetop30

accept that the series is gone for until toei or another studio picks up toriko. when that happens toriko will skyrocket in sales since there is alot of volumes not covered in anime

Do you think TG:re volume 5 will break a million next year, I'm also surprised both TGre 1 and AssClass 12 managed to pass Haikyuu 14 since it was ahead of both in the first half.
Is Taizai already on the decline?

Hinomaru Zumou may not be in the top 20, it isn't fujoshi sport series .
BnHa may make it to top 10 if the anime boosts its sale to a phenomenon level .

I don't see SnS out of top 10 . If it does then Jump isn't do a good job advertising the series to potential new readers .

SnS reached its prime in sales with its first anime release and even a second season is out it won't be that huge of a boost.

sns is going to drop in sales from this point onward. not even its fanservice can help it.

And you honestly think Toriko of ALL series has a chance? That pitiful forgotten manga resides within an ongoing flourishing industry with new titles that hoist far more potential. What makes you come to the conclusion that Toriko can fill one of those supposed 'slots'? lol

I don't think Yowapeda is gonna be top 30 either same with Diamond no Ace since it's complete, unless the new series gets an amazing boost.
Nisekoi and Bleach are also declining, Bleach may make it to the bottom 5, but I don't see it with Nisekoi, Gintama should stay in the bottom 10 or rise to the top 20, it's backlog sales have always been strong, and I think the SA arc will help. We will find out on Shoseki starting Wednesday if Gintama will be boosted

I think Sales by volumes is more or less actual popularity ranking.
NNT is about as popular as silever spoon or kimi ni todoke that sounds more accurate than ranked between one piece and snk.
