We can only dream...


From a marketing stand of point, it's better for him to bring out chapters when the ant arc heats up. People would start reading/buying the manga to catch up with the new chapters.

Seems the anime is advertising HxH a lot!!

Not even one chapter for a whole year and the sales are reeking in. No wonder Togashi is lazy.
He's gets money while he's doing nothing :P

I really hope he starts again though. He left it at a darn interesting part.

Relatively speaking, it butt-f**ed every single manga including the top 4.



But how come blue exorcist isn't there? It always gets like #2-5 or something

A volume selling in 2013 doesn't mean the volume was released in 2013. So if no chapter was released, do you think I was implying a ghost volume somehow magically got sold?

31 and 32, were released in late 2012, which counts is technically the first half of this year in releases but still, no volumes or chapters were released in 2013.

(except for the one-shot)

I'm more surprised with Terra Formars being in there. I know the series is getting really popular, but the 10th most selling manga in Japan in half a year? Anime when?

Seeing Assassination Classroom in there as well is no wonder, considering how popular it's getting by the day, although I wouldn't say the content is as good as the hype, so far..

You said 0 Volumes were released. It doesn’t matter when they were released. They are counted for 2013. If you remove the two volumes than HxH has "only" sold through back sales 1329000 Million copies which wouldn’t make it place 5 or even Top 10. HxH has also an ongoing Anime and had a Movie to boost sales. Not saying it is bad or not impressive. It is impressive but not THAT impressive as you want to make it to be.

^ again, 31, and 32 were still 2012 releases. So yeah, back sales are all 3.6


"doesn't matter when they were released, they still counted for 2013"

Well, even vol. 1 counts for 2013 if it sells then, and if the 2012 volumes count here, they didn't count there (2012) so either way...

^ Well technically, a year in sales counts from early december of a year to the last of nov. of the next year

Kinda like how school year begins in september or something

Not every "year" starts in June, it's kind of arbitrary in a sense

I have a feeling Togashi only releases enough chapters a year for a volume and then goes back to Dragon Quest.

I have a feeling that he releases the chapters only when he gets such a quest from the game master. T_T

Great to see Magi and Ansatsu Kyoushitsu there, both very much deserved.
Hunter x Hunter is strong even with it's everlasting hiatus.

I noticed I am a Hero was surprisingly high up(top 10 if I remember correct). Was nice to see that, it deserves attention. Sad to see Oyasumi Punpun barely in the top 25(19) in it's second to final volume... Still good spot I would guess.
