One Piece, the best manga of all time dominate again. Nanatsu and Attack on Titan also did well. Kingdom sold 8 million and that's great. Wish Gintama and Magi sales could be higher.

For LN, happy to see Yahari and Overlord.




If these two are combined Yahari will be number 2. SAO will number 1 if we combine all of it's other LN together.

DanMachi would still be number 1 if you combine main series with Oratoria series.


Oh yeah, you are right. Miss out that one. So if we combine same series together, it will be:

1. Danmachi
2. SAO
3. Yahari
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

7 deadly sins is THAT popular?


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.

Manga Sales by Volumes
*1. 3,185,018 One Piece Vol.76
*5. 2,000,137 Shingeki no Kyojin Vol.15
*8. 1,324,693 Naruto Vol.72
*9. 1,017,871 Tokyo Ghoul:re Vol.1
10. 1,012,500 Ansatsu Kyoushitsu Vol.12
13. *,991,094 Haikyuu!! Vol.14
16. *,974,184 Ao Haru Ride Vol.13
18. *,952,338 Gin no Saji Vol.13
22. *,902,162 Nanatsu no Taizai Vol.12
26. *,874,324 Kimi ni Todoke Vol.23
31. *,815,616 Sakamoto desu ga? Vol.3
35. *,778,901 Kuroko no Basket Vol.30
36. *,771,009 One Punch-Man Vol.7
38. *,717,541 Terra Formars Vol.12
39. *,711,902 Saint☆Onii-san Vol.11
40. *,704,725 Kuroshitsuji Vol.20


Sadly most folks don't even pay attention to the per volume sales. People just look at the overall sales and make a conclusion on that. "nanatsu no taizai sold more than snk, that means nanatsu no taizai is more popular than snk." the per volume sales is a big indication if a series will maintain a top spot throughout the years or not.

Luckily for nanatsu no taizai it releases like six volumes a year, so that will help it maintain a top 10 spot in the upcoming years. But I'm certain the series will sell around 5-6 million max next year. Unless the anime gives it another significant boost in sales.

Not happening. No shoujo manga since post 90s ever got an anime adaptation after ending the serialization.

You're acting like it's selling literally nothing. There are 20 series in WSJ right now. The top 30 is all manga from all magazines. I think you're giving real unnecessary hate to Toriko. Sure, it might not be a top 30 series, but it does sell volumes in the hundreds of thousands.

Just like Beelzebub,Shaman King and many others who were axed.Selling 200k-350k is less than the least a 30+ volume on WSJ with more than one One Piece and Dragon Ball crossover should do.

Does the series has bad rankings in the magazine? No? Than it has no reason to be cancelled, doesn't matter what you think about it!

I don't look much into TOC,maybe if we had an average for 2015 it would be better.But most of the times Toriko only does better than the mangas with sell good but weirdly has low rankings(Bleach,Gintama ...) and Kochikame.

So he sells low and does less than average on TOC

Prison School and OPM doing great. It's too bad I can't say the same about Magi, especially because it returned to being a very enjoyable read for a while now.

I really want a High School Debut anime adaptation!! ): It's a perfect entry to the shoujo romance demographic. Shame it's probably never gonna get one. The live action adaptation sucked.

The backlog sales for Bleach were up by a pretty sizable margin this year rather than the last 2 years, did it get more promotion this year than in '13 and '14?

243,402 in 2013
192,019 in 2014
333,737 in 2015

I initially thought it was the 13 blades fan book, but that was separated from Bleach in both the monthly and weekly rankings throughout august, so that wasn't it, the app is the only thing I can think of that caused this slight increase, but that's hard to believe
