I'm reading Toriko, as well as watching anime, and I do like it, but to be honest, I'm rather surprised that it is so popular - it just doesn't seem like the kind of setting many people would find interesting, even if it is shounen, altough with grown up people as main characters.

One Piece is #1,no surprise.America needs to learn that Naruto & DBZ are nothing compare to One Piece.
If you haven't read it or watch it & you're interested,go READ it.Yes there's 600+ chapter & the 1st 70-ish is slow,but once you're in there's no going back.
If you think One Piece is stupid or suck,that's you're opinion.....& lost.

Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan.

Glad to see so many of my favourites up there. But Ao no Exorcist? Really? Wow, guess it's popular after all...
One Piece doesn't surprise me at all. I myself love the series, but I still can't believe it's that popular. It completely stole the top 4 spots on the volume by volume list with even more volumes below. Damn! Oda-sensei must feel on top of the world.

Haha, indeed! It's nice to see so many of them selling so good, I'll add comments about specific series a bit later...

As for the thing about the best, well, One Piece is the most-selling one, it's probably the best for a lot of people, everyone will always have their own best anime/manga, though...

Its weird how the manga sells so well but its anime was a massive flop and barely even charted. I guess the demographics who buy manga and anime are different.


Maybe because the adaptation was nothing far from horrible.

Yeah, and Twilight is the best book of the year. And Justin Bieber is the best singer.

Come on guys. Yes, One Piece is amazing, but don't act like clowns. For real.


LOL that made me laugh cause that's what I was thinking. Although I'm not a fan of One Piece (Definitely not my cup of tea) its good to see it sell so well. Lots of money is always good for the industry.

One Piece, Naruto-expected places, it was amazing to see One Piece's first volume on the list, as well!
Ao no Exorcist, it just shows how good that 25 episode advertisement did, congrats
Toriko-I'm kinda surprised it got so high...
Fairy Tail, Gintama, Bakuman, Bleach-even though Bleach is not as high as I expected, the rest is
Kimi no Todoke-it's one of rare not-shounen shows that are selling so good!
Things like Shingeki no Kyojin and Saint Young Man sell so well, there're also quite some sports manga
I'm still surprised about the sales of Deadman Wonderland manga when compared to the anime, it's a big difference...
There are also some others I'm really glad to see, I hope these manga sales are increasing over years, it'd be nice to see that info...

Almost no action manga adaptation selling/succeed, unless its big hits that airing on primetime or something. Really contrasting with LN-adaptation.

One Piece is huge and becomes huger with each year. 8)

Really happy about Nodame Cantabile's 1 million mark.

'3 Gatsu no Lion' with ~600,000 copies sold for last 2 volumes without an adaptation is amazing. I'm waiting for it to end, so I can read it at once.

Allow me to put things in perspective.

One Piece Vol. 61 sold about 25,000,000 copies.
There are around 125,000,000 people in Japan.

1 in 5 people read One Piece.

And for good reasons.

Guess I need to start One piece.
And... Kuroko No Basuke is really selling that well.
It's true that i love it (the little panel at the end of each chapter is awesome) but i didn't think it was that popular)

Well yes. However you have to consider the fact that the anime was slower than the manga. and it ended in shit.(or so I heard)

Because of the cultural difference. I am sure most people in American has barely even acknowledge the existence of Galge

Oh yeah, and Shingeki no Kyojin on top is great, it's the most interesting out of them(I haven't read much into One Piece, but it must be interesting if it has so many views)

not surprised. there are less fans of naruto in the eastern world and Bleach was dropped by most people after Aizen. until that person showed up again.

Naruto was probably only popular because it show the western stereotype/conception of ninjas

Being a sports manga fan... I'm glad to see Giant Killing and Daiya no Ace up there.
Since I haven't read Ahiru no Sora.. I can't comment much on that but.. I'm surprised to see Kuroko no Basket up there.

Good to see so many better shounens before Bleach.

One Piece dominance is to be expected and justified.

Shingeki no Kyojin should get an adaption. Seeing as the majority of those mangas have an adaption I hope it's only a matter of time.

Same for Saint Young Men.

But most of all I hope for an adaption of Uchuu Kyoudai.
I probably regret this post by now.

And One Piece steals first place again. what the people that dont watch or understand about One Piece is that it may not have the huge fan base in North America that Naruto or Bleach has but One Piece fans are the most loyal of any series as you can see by looking at how it takes up 4 of the top five highest selling volumes of the year

I guess you love bleach's huge panels with few dialogues that can be read in under a minute.

One Piece does have pretty deep story not just Luffy wanted to be a pirate king.

Shingeki no Kyojin is already going to get a live-action movie adaptation in the fall of 2013. If you are talking about an anime adaptation, I wholeheartedly agree. But Shingeki no Kyojin seems to share the same fate as 20th Century Boys: No anime adaptation, only live-action ones.

Maybe when compared to Hunter X Hunter, but the others in WSJ aren't even at One Piece's level yet.
