*1. 1,566,702 Shingeki no Kyojin Vol.17

This will 100% reach 1.7 million at the end of the year. I hope that it will reach 1.8 million so that combined with the LE, it will be above 2 million copies sold with the other two volumes released.

*6. *,455,993 Detective Conan Vol.87

SNK might will have two or three volumes above the 2 million threshold for the first time (LE+RE), One Piece might have 2 or 3 above 3 million for the first time since 2012 , Naruto might have one 1.3 for the first time (the last volume sold 1.2 million at the half way point) and now Detective Conan might have 3 or 4 above 500k. Lots of great performances this year.

*7. *,*35,781 Overlord Vol.1
11. *,*32,683 Overlord Vol.2
17. *,*18,281 Overlord Vol.4

All of the volumes (1-10) will be on the September list probably.

Besides the anime boost (and part of the sales going to the limited edition), there's the fact that It releases six volumes a year. One Piece; 4 (3 or 5 exceptionally), AssClass; 4-5, SNK; 3.

One Piece would sell 16~18 million (sans backlog) if it had such a release schedule.

Because One Piece has almost every 3 to 4 weeks a break of 1 to 2 weeks.

I don't read Nanatsu no Taizai but I guess the average per week is 24 pages against One piece's 20.

Bleach had a special Volume named Bleach: 13 Blades it probably sold like 100 k
Also when a new volume releases it boosts the backlog sales for a week or 2.

I feel like OPM is going to shatter some of its own rankings in the upcoming weeks because of the anime adaptation.

And this:

No not because of that, because i think if Oda wanted to put out 25 pages per chapter he would and we would have 5-6 volumes per year like 4 years ago and before it. But since he has health problems since 3 years or so he puts out less pages on a chapter and takes a break every 3 to 4 weeks, so we get 4 volumes , or sometimes even 3 like last year.

TlDr:
A volume needs at least 184 pages(at least a Jump one) Oda sometimes make the volume have more chapters than normal(already had volumes with more than 240 pages) when he feels the volume needs to end in a certain chapter

Yep, some years from now One Piece has having around 10-12 chapters per volume instead of the normal 8-10. Added to the fact that One Piece has around 40 chapters per year instead of 48, due to Oda breaks, you get only 4 volumes instead of the 5-6 possible volumes.

I don't really understand why Shueisha accepts this kind of volumes, given that it would make a ton more money if each volume was shorter. This same thing happened with Dr. Slump(1st manga of Toriyama) making the manga only have 18 volumes of potentially 25 or more.
