Dude, the margin between 1st and 2nd place is quite amazing. Well, that's expected from One Piece.
But I couldn't believe that Kuroko no Basuke is doing THAT well.

No big surprises here.


not even Kuroko no Basket's going up by almost 6.5 million volumes in one year??

Kuroko got those numbers only because ALL volumes got boost thanks to anime, people seem to forget about it. Before it aired, volumes sold ~200k, now it's 600k.
14 volumes from previous years getting almost 400k boost + 5 new volumes selling 600k results in 8M for 2012. Kuroko will likely fall out of top10 (e: maybe it will be #8-10) next year even though its volumes will be selling slightly better than now.
One Piece, Naruto, Kimi ni Todoke, Hunter x Hunter, Ao no Exorcist, Gin no Saji, Bleach, Thermae Romae, Shingeki no Kyojin, Yotsuba, Kuroshitsuji, 3 Gaatsu no Lion - all those manga sell better than Kuroko in reality, it's just that majority of Kuroko sales were cramped up in 2012 even though the series is like, five years old?
Kuroko will be above some of them next year thanks to bigger number of volumes released yearly but will lose to other series getting huge boost thanks to anime like probably Magi. I can't wait for Shingeki no Kyojin numbers in 2013 after anime airs. Manga is great, I hope anime does it justice, PVs look promising.

Shingeki no kyojin already sells between 600k ~ 700k per volume by default .Ocassionally just below 800k.

The anime might boost that figure to 1.2 million ~ 1.5 million per volume.Only few mangas have passed the 1 million mark.
Shingeki no kyojin does seem to have the potential to achieve that.
