| Yay Uchuu Kyoudai |
| "Justice Never Dies!" - Kenji Endou, 20th century Boys |
| Once again, One Piece is on top. |
 |
| I always smile when I see One Piece beat second place by like 10 million copies. XD *3, *2,721,003 Hunter x Hunter *4, *2,684,223 Uchuu Kyoudai *8, *1,969,727 Kuroko no Basket Holy Crap Kuroko's on the list! And congrats to Uchuu Kyoudai and Hunter x Hunter! 28, *,461,711 Gintama vol.43 32, *,442,974 Natsume Yuujinchou vol.13 48, *,359,927 Chihayafuru vol.15 They're on the list! Hope they do even better in the future. Love these series. :) |
| Not surprised to see One Piece at the top. Wow most of the best selling manga are shounen. |
| One Piece dominates all by a large margin, as usual. I hope this will continue until the very end. Most of the rest are mainstream shounen and shoujo. I'm surprised that TLR:Darkness and Railgun sells that high. |
| Space Bros confirms Japan for good taste. |
 |
| Hmmm, is Kuroko the accumulated sales of all volumes or just some of the latest volumes? I see it averaging 200k per volume so I'm surprised it has that large sales in the first fiscal half. Either way, I'm happy for it. Getting some attention it deserves. More so that the anime is airing(which I think the fujoshis are liking. 8k combined BD/DVD in Stalker and likely to increase). And Hiatus x Hiatus is selling so much even in hiatus. Resuming when? |
 |
| Yay Naruto! |
[center] |
| damn one piece is so boss, beats ranks 2-6 COMBINED now that's something kinda makes you wonder if when one piece does end, a golden age will have ended ): |
| The dominance of OP is not as much as previous years, but it is still amazing how good it sells. |
| Jojolion anime when? |
| One Piece leads by 10 million! Not that Im surprised but yaay. Hunter x Hunter is not updating ._. I wanna see more Alluka :/ Someone translate all the latest chapters of Kuroko!!!!!!!!!! |
| God Piece being 'God Piece'. |
| Hiatus X Hiatus no.3 if there was no4363732 Hiatuses ....HxH would be on Top |
| Wow One Piece is a beast... Yeah for Fairy Tail and Shingeki no Kyojin!! |
| Go Shingeki no Kyojin! Well done! And no Bleach or Reborn in the top 10 kinda surprised me. |
| alrealy 13kk for one piece.. wow.. really glad to see shingeki no kyojin and fairy tail up there |
  |
| Oh man, One Piece is the boss, no one compete with it and it deserves its place. Wow, no Bleach in the top 10, I was really surprised, was it maybe because of the Fullbringer-Arc? I am really happy about Shingeki no Kyojin, it's a series you should definitely check out, you've never read anything like that. Still too bad that it didn't win that one award, was it Taishô? Wish Chihayafuru would sell more, the anime is doing terrible if I remember right. |
| anime boost sales after all^^ HXH, Kuro and Uchuu Kyoudai all got a boost thanks to the anime. OP dominant sales is no surprise but overall sales went down a bit in comparison with the last 2 years still the gap with the rest is just ridiculous. |
 |
| they all are only half as much as last year |
 |
imperlast said: they all are only half as much as last year haha this are first half numbers only not the entire year...... |
|
| Oh yeah, One piece is still getting strong here. |
 |
| I have to admit that I didn't expect KuroBas to get such a significant boost after just two months. Disc sales might be looking somewhat good at best, but this is the most positive signal yet - what every adaptation dreams of, basically. I may have been quite wary of the producers' choice to have the series air on a late-night slot at first, but it's looking more and more like they've made a very smart move after all. Uchuu Kyoudai, on the other hand, was expected (and very welcome). I still can't help but wonder how much better the movie would've done if it had been released at a slightly different date, though. Competing with Thermae Romae is no easy task. And AoEx is just so huge now... |

| I think we all know what the only manga on there left without adaption is. I WANT! And great to see HxH do almost as good as Naruto! |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

| wow all hail bow down to one piece being god piece and shonen manga |
| One Piece pretty much pwns the list, if you know what I mean. Zhou said: Wish Chihayafuru would sell more, the anime is doing terrible if I remember right. Chihaya really needs more love so we could hopefully see a proper closure sometime :/ Same goes to Natsume, the 4th season could be considered as the very last one, but I sure hope not since there's still a lot of room for future seasons. This is doing quiet well o.o interesting |
| Kimi ni todoke and fairy tail appears couple of times. Ot seems both mangos area really good. |
Tomislavr7 said: There's still no anime of Shingeki no Kyoujin announced... It's not going to happen, it would be censored like shit. |
| Uchuu Kyoudai ♥♥♥ |
 |
| One piece! <3 I wish Natsume Yuujinchou and Chihayafuru were selling better >< Oh, and glad to see Ao haru ride and Giant killing in top 30! :D |
| oh yeah, f**k yeah Shingeki is on #10. sure hope it will continue to rise, the manga is awesome :D |
 |
| i'm just gonna say, ALL HAIL ONE PIECE |
jmal said: Zhou said: Don't know but look at the sales of the latest DVD volume, not even a thousand copies in its first week. Chihayafuru sold 619 DVDs and 1,922 BDs, so 2,541 total. Still bad of course, but in any event sales and ratings are two very different things. After all, Naruto gets vastly higher ratings than Bakemonogatari did, but Naruto sells about 3k a volume while Bake sold 78k a volume. Different shows make their money different ways. The problem with Chihayafuru was that it was not the kind of show intended for late night time slots, but that's all they could get, so ratings were likely low too (they always are, late night), in addition to the home video sales being low (which was entirely expected). Still, the manga is incredibly successful, so it's kind of moot if the anime increased manga sales. Sort of like how it almost doesn't matter how the Hyouka anime sells (although it's on track to sell well so far), because it's already moved well in excess of 215,000 copies of the first four Kotenbu series novels since April. jmal said: Zhou said: Don't know but look at the sales of the latest DVD volume, not even a thousand copies in its first week.

I waited for your comment since you know a lot more about that stuff than me, thanks for clarifying the situation. |
