A remake would be better.

Wow KonoSuba beating out SAO for the whole year, and Re:Zero just an inch from doing it as well. How times have changed

Ramkec said:
Kingdom is one of the best better known series running atm, so glad it keeps charting high every year. It will probably be on number 2 next year considering Ansatsu is over, unless some new show appears and takes the industry with storm.

Also happy for Tokyo Ghoul, and looks like Boku no Hero Academia is doing really well so far since its still pretty new. I guess that's Jump's new mascot.

Well to be fair KonoSuba has about 3 months of more active advertisement than Re:Zero which explains that little edge it has on it. If that time difference would be smaller or even non existent it might look differently.

Still awesome two see that these two series manages to hold their own against big shots like KNNW and SAO

Let's just say I'd consider 2cours of anime an advantage in "active advertisement" over just 1cour as well so theres that :P
With season2 hitting Winter 2017 (next season) I'm not sure if just increasing the timespan would change a lot

But yeah, as much as I loved doing that "get rekt ReZero" joke for the sake of the rivalry on here between the two, being up there with SAO and even above it was the first thing I quoted elsewhere as well

*2.　*1,174,562　Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!

22.　**,225,229　Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! Spin-off

33.　**,104,090　Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! Vol.7

30.　**,162,562　Date A Live

Glad seeing some of my favourite manga making it to the top 30 Hunter x Hunter selling more than 1 million copies with just a singe vollume realiased this year makes you wonder how much it would sale if it was regular. I am not suprised at all seeing one piece first it is always first Lol and snk did great but compered to the previous year the sales have dropped i think its probably because fans got bored of waiting for the anime if we dont get this second season next year it will drop even more

DarklordVor said:

My proudest hit in this list, they made it! It could've been #1 if not for that masterpiece movie. Come on guys... don't buy the LN, just keep on re-watching the movie. You ruined KonoSuba's chance to be #1. Ah well...

even if you totaled that, KonoSuba still can't beat Kimi no Na Wa lol.

I also just realized that KonoSuba vol. 1-8 all reached 100k sales for this year.


Oh hey... this actually made to the list... Vol. 15 was okay I guess. We need more Kotori and Kurumi, Tachibana-sensei.

Second season of SnK is scheduled for next year Spring Irrc.
HxH sold 1,600,002 so it almost made it in the top 30.

SAO only 2 volume releases still selling over 1 million copies. Progressive also adds 360k. Beautiful

>threshold is 1,679,180

Lowest threshold in a while , last year it was almost 2 million, it'll get even lower next year with all the series that ended.
Very few new series are big hits.

Take a good rest Kubo, please come back :'(
17.　*2,253,028　Bleach

Sasuga.

*5.　**,711,154　Overlord

ichii_1 said:

Bleach_Is_Trash said:

Tired to see One Piece up there to be honest... Well some series dropped compared to last year, but some did much better. Good to see Chihayafuru, Kingdom and Diamond no Ace doing well.
