Manga Sales by Series
*8. 2,326,507 Ao Haru Ride
27. 1,098,863 Strobe Edge


^ I am not sure if anyone else has noticed this but to have two manga from the same author in Top 30 is quite a feat, even though it's been a while since Strobe Edge ended (must be because of the Live Action).

I noticed! And was going to comment on it, but you beat me to it :P It's really amazing, especially Strobe Edge because as you said, it's not even a manga that's currently publishing, nor did it get a boost from an anime. I guess people really like Ao Haru Ride so they ended up getting Strobe Edge too? I'm happy for Sakisaka Io.

AoT 15 is the first volume in the series to sell 2 million(including it's limited edition)in less than a year, have any of AoT's previous volumes even sold 2 million in a full year?

You don't get a crazy boost multiple times in such a small window. It will get a boost but no way will it be near the magnitude of the first one.

Quite a lot of shounen jump series in the top 10 for manga. I think this wasn't surprising to see though. I hope One Punch-Man slowly climbs its way up to the top soon for this year's second half. Maybe the anime adaptation will attract more audience.

> *1. 624,815 Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru.
Really glad to see this at the very top :3

What? Didn't vol 12,13, and 15 recently did that as well? Including the limited edition that's. Vol 15 came out in December 2014 and it shows in the half year sales that it sold 1.8mil plus the limited edition sold over 200k that brings it at 2mil.

If I'm correct. vol 12 sold 2.4 mil, vol 13 sold like 2.1 mil and vol 14 sold like 2 mil or was it 1.9 mil?

Sword Art Online and Progressive didn't even release any volumes this year and it still ranked #7 and #5 respectively lol. And Alternative only had 1 released volume in 2015 and ranked #11. The franchise is OP. Oregairu, Mahouka, and DanMachi were the obvious top 3's.


Both volumes of SAO: Alternative came out this year, as did one volume of SAO: Progressive. Remember the year starts in November.

The main SAO series didn't have any releases in this time, though.

What is the most cowardly and shameful thing in human conduct? It's when people with power and people who flatter them hide in safe places and extol war, force patriotism and self-sacrifice on others, then send them to the battlefield to die. For the sake of peace in the universe, before we continue this fruitless war with the Empire, mustn't we first start by exterminating such evil parasites? - Yang Wenli

Yea it definitely won't get the #1 spot. I'm already seeing the drop in sales for the backlog sales. Though I heard that nanatsu releases a volume like every two months, so who knows?

Being honest though, I would like to see another series getting the #1 spot for the full year for once. You're a one piece fans so it doesn't bother you that your favorite series is always #1 every year. But to others it gets pretty dull, and just to see something else at the top for the full year would be a good change for once.


The only one with the highest potential to beat One Piece at #1 spot is Shingeki no Kyojin.
@2013 - 2mil difference
@2014 - 100k difference
@2015 - probably at 3rd spot

Next year, SnK's Season 2 of Anime will start and the Manga will get crazy boosts again and it might dethrone OP.

I am now convinced that FMA's manga is more popular than Naruto's in Japan. It's final volume won't sell as much as FMA's and it didn't have a particularly noticeable boost to catch up to FMA's average sales.

It also seems like volume 15 of SNK might be the first one whose regular edition will sell 2 million in a single year.

Its volumes have limited editions (just like SNK) and they sold more than 100k so its actually selling close to 1 million per volume which should put it above Haikyuu.

Surprised Kiseijuu made an appearance... It would be great if it started a trend of adapting completed manga.
Also, I'm glad Dungeon ni got a solid boost from the anime, I wasn't even gonna bother watching because I assumed it'd be your average harem, but it turned out to be quite enjoyable.

You don't get a crazy boost multiple times in such a small window. It will get a boost but no way will it be near the magnitude of the first one.

Three years isn't such a short amount of time. As you said, I don't expect its boost to be as significant as what the first season caused, but I could see it leading to overtaking One Piece anyways.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

If you bothered to look @ the decisive sales by volumes properly you would notice that Nanatsu sells 700-800k per volume which makes it elite and it will easily shit in the top 6 next year doing those figures even with a drop off.

Lol @ not top when it has 11th, 14th and 17th which isn't far off, not to mention limited editions released alongside them.

Not surprised to see Nanatsu no Taizai first, anime did it's job despite being a terrible adaptation. Even the manga as of late has become so-so for me.

One Piece in second pleases me though, the current arc is just mind blowingly good. No idea how Oda does it saga after saga. A lot of others I am super happy to see up there.

On the light novel front I am thrilled to see so many fab series reflected with great sales. Shinmai, Oregairu, SAO, DanMachi, Mahouka, Saekano and more. Good going people of Japan.

Sad note though is that no Accel World and only 1 High School DxD volume up there. Granted we've had nothing/little of either since late last year but disappointing nonetheless.

Yeah, that's often the argument presented to explain why old manga aren't adapted. Kiseijuu proved it wrong, it only has like 10 volumes yet sold that much. And 2014 also has a good chunk of its sales. That + what Umashineko said really proves that the anime was a success.

And I can already that trend starting. Mappa will adapt an old ass manga and Devilman will be remade. City hunter will have an OVA if it counts.

SNK's boost was so massive (1.2 million+ additional sales for every backlog volume) that even just half of it (600k) would still be larger than any other boost ever recorded.

What you wrote for NNT is also true for SNK. Adding the limited edition it sells 2.4 million per volume per year which isn't far from 3 million and will be even closer once season 2 airs.

The week during which the anime began saw three of Kiseijuu's volumes in the Top 30 totalling more than 100k. This alone shows that the boost began with the anime. Add to that the fact that there wasn't even a single volume in the Top 50 during the opening (and subsequent) weeks of the movie and it's easy to see that the boost was majorly from the anime (if not entirely).

Assclass is the recent example of a manga which got a movie boost (the boost only became apparent several weeks after the anime started, when the movie was released).

What are you talking about? Vol.16 Regular Edition was at 1,561,770 after the May 11~17 sales, which is exactly the same as in the half-yearly list. How can the Limited Edition sales be included if it was at 241,992 in the April Monthly rankings which covered Apr 6 to May 3? It had sold at least 1,803,762 by the end of the May 11~17 week. Everyone knows the Limited and Regular Editions are always separated by Oricon in the volume rankings.

Assclass is the recent example of a manga which got a movie boost (the boost only became apparent several weeks after the anime started, when the movie was released).


It could be argued that Vol.8, 9 and 10 were released on the same day, thus that's where the 100K came from. Look at the 1st week sales for Vol.5, 6 and 7 which were all released on the same day prior to the anime airing. Vol.8, 9 and 10's sales are just slightly higher even if they were on sale for 2 days less (but the difference between 4 and 6 days sales is very small compared to something like 2 and 4 days sales for example).

21 -- *,*33,800 *,*33,800 **1 6 寄生獣 5 新装版

29 -- *,*31,223 *,*31,223 **1 6 寄生獣 7 新装版

By looking at the weekly sales for Kiseijuu, I do see some boosts on some weeks, but the week that the live action movie came out and the week after also saw a boost in sales. You could say that there was some boost from the anime, but you also cannot dismiss the boost from the live action movie.

Not true at all, for example,

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-12-01/top-selling-manga-in-japan-by-series/2013

All the volumes of SNK released back then made the sales by volume list and they add up to 15,475,569 while the total sales below are 15,933,801. The difference is the LE.

SNK sells way more than 1.9k per volume. Also what Ejc said.

It's short enough. And if it's boost isn't as large how will it possibly beat One Piece? Even with SnK's huge huge boost it just wasn't barely enough able to beat One Piece.

It doesn't take a genius to figure it out really. In 2013, One Piece had more than 18 million sales, which was over 2 millions more than SnK's even with the anime boost. In 2014, they both sold way less compared to before and the gap lowered to about 150k. If next year One Piece remains in the 12 million range and Shingeki, with the second season boost, reaches 13/14 millions, it would be ahead of OP with a smaller boost compared to season 1. Basic maths...
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

^ I am not sure if anyone else has noticed this but to have two manga from the same author in Top 30 is quite a feat, even though it's been a while since Strobe Edge ended (must be because of the Live Action).

I noticed! And was going to comment on it, but you beat me to it :P It's really amazing, especially Strobe Edge because as you said, it's not even a manga that's currently publishing, nor did it get a boost from an anime. I guess people really like Ao Haru Ride so they ended up getting Strobe Edge too? I'm happy for Sakisaka Io.


So can we now please get another season of Ao Haru Ride.

It's short enough. And if it's boost isn't as large how will it possibly beat One Piece? Even with SnK's huge huge boost it just wasn't barely enough able to beat One Piece.


It doesn't take a genius to figure it out really. In 2013, One Piece had more than 18 million sales, which was over 2 millions more than SnK's even with the anime boost. In 2014, they both sold way less compared to before and the gap lowered to about 150k. If next year One Piece remains in the 12 million range and Shingeki, with the second season boost, reaches 13/14 millions, it would be ahead of OP with a smaller boost compared to season 1. Basic maths...

OP will only stay in the 12 mil range if it releases 3 volumes a year, if it releases 4 Volumes (like this year probably) OP will surely get 14+ million sales. AOT might top that if it get's a good boost, but I doubt it

It won't One Piece will seel more than 14 million this year and next.
Last year it only had 3 volumes released

I was mostly refuting what was said in the quote since it implied that the anime wasn't responsible for any significant part of the boost. Otherwise, yeah I agree and thanks for the research.

SNK's boost was so massive (1.2 million+ additional sales for every backlog volume) that even just half of it (600k) would still be larger than any other boost ever recorded.
Bigger than One Piece's boost from Strong World?


I was mostly referring to the additional sales of each backlog volume in 2013 (I precised it). In terms of total sales, OP's was bigger. If we consider a boost to be additional sales per volume compared to the previous year (aka the number of new fans made) then:

One Piece's Strong World/Marineford boost in a nutshell:

2009: 500k new fans buying all the 50 volumes available.
2010: 500~600k new fans buying all the 55 volumes available.
2011: 500k new fans buying all the 59 volumes available.

Shingeki no kyojin's anime boost in a nutshell:

2013: 1200k new fans buying all the 11 volumes available.
2014: 300~400k new fans buying all the 14 volumes available.
2015: Insignificant.

Which is more impressive overall?

If there will be another season. Futaba x Kou shippers will hate it.

Season 2 will mostly be a Touma x Futaba thing. Which I don't mind... Touma > Kou
