outside of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_manga i dont think there is a very comprehensive source for ones with less than 20m sales (at least in the english internet)
same for light novels

though there are yearly charts on a short google which can be fun to look at

what's a good number for sales? i'm looking at the somanithing site and i can only tell how relatively successful shows are, but i don't have a grasp on what an absolute figure for success looks like

1.2 What's the break-even point for anime?
There is no such thing as a single break-even point. If the implication of 1.1 is that disc sales are of unequal importance from one show to the next, it follows that shows can’t all have the same break-even point.

Budgets also vary. Animation is not the only cost. You would expect a Hollywood blockbuster or “AAA” game release to set much higher sales targets than independent or niche films or games. Anime is no different – the marketing budget alone for Shingeki or Madoka likely dwarfs the entire production cost of shorts like Teekyuu or Morita-san.

There is also no assumption that video sales alone will recoup the entire budget. This is not remotely true for the vast majority of series. Even 10k sellers may well not recoup all costs through video sales. This makes the concept of “break even” problematic.

　　1.2.1 What about the Manabi Line?
　　The Manabi Line is a reference to the sales (2,899 vol. 1 / 2,319 average) of Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight, a 2007 series by ufotable. It’s gained notoriety as a “break-even” line, but is outdated and overly broad and unproven. It only continues to exist due to inertia – you’d even have seen it in my Vol. 1 rankings until recently, when I replaced it with 3,000. While all “lines” are just arbitrarily selected numbers and 2,899 is equally as arbitrary as 3,000 or 10,000, the “break-even” baggage of the Manabi Line suggests that a rounder number may be less misleading.
