← Previous Month

One Piece !! The newest arc has been pretty great so far. Oh nice Sakamoto desu ga? is up there too.

Ahh, yes. That Kingdom greatness.

2,400,288　One Piece Vol.80
2,708,651　One Piece Vol.79

that's a noticeable drop, heh.


Waza Waza Waza
Let's go Nisio.

Man, I really love Okitegami Kyouko no Taishoku Negai's Illustrations. Based Vofan <3

Hopefully it's manga gets translated, looks really interesting and I love the design of Kyouko.

Two Nisio novels in the top 10 with one taking the lead by a considerable margin. This has been a great month.~

Kingdom yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Dat one pice cover looks nice , wonder who is that young girl on cover

as expected of japan...can someone tell me why onepunch man is not famous in japan as it is in usa?

You expected them to wait and buy it in January? One Punch Man volume 10 came out December 4th. Check the December monthly list:

Anyone have the top series for the month

Rebecca LOL

Looks so out of place

This volume got reased December 28 so the presales which were over 250k are not counted, if it was it would be the same as last volume.

Thank You Very Much

Monthly series
7 55,500 Overlord

Overlord still going strong.
Maruyama please keep it going for another 20 volumes :'(

Rakudai still selling after anime finished airing. Hopefully this continues a little longer.

Words can't describe how awesome it is to see it here, up at the top, with a pretty good lead from second place!

Nisio master race.

It's worth noting, though, that none of second to seventh place were released during the period covered.

Ah okay. I guess things MIGHT have been a little difference if any of those were released. I know all 6 are selling like hot cakes and Okite sharing the same author, I wonder which series will top the chart if they were released.

Januari is always a slow month—in every market. Compare to last years january sales instead. Also, Kingdom staying strong!

happy for the konosuba novel. Surely the anime is doing his job
