#BringBackWeeklySalesThread  Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
NeoAnkara said: #BringBackWeeklySalesThread #BringBackWeeklySalesThread !!! Another successful year for manga and light novel series. |
Hopefully a fan war between OP and KnY won’t happen in this thread Anyway, #BringBackWeeklySalesThread |
Good to see an increase for manga sales for the top series, 9 mil of last years' overtaken by a whooping 12 mil this year! One Piece has finally been beaten and I'm sure most people were seeing this coming, in all honesty. Rumors of this were abuzz but actually seeing it happen was a little tough to come to terms with, even now to this point in fact. But hey, One Piece obviously wasn't going to retain that position forever so it's more like the start of a new era for the manga industry now (or is it?). Pleasing to see Gotoubun no Hanayome and Kaguya-sama: Love is War join the ranks now too, credits to both the teams behind the respective anime to propel both of these to the top 10. Can't wait to see Season 2 of both of these! Surprised that Shingeki no Kyojin manga sales have decreased, albeit slightly, from last year though. I've been keeping away from the manga intentionally so I don't know the specifics but I've been hearing a lot of rumors, speculations and reactions so I figured it was going to be in the top 5 actually. A little disappointed by this, to be frank, but I'm glad it's still in the list. It better be in the top 3 next year! Didn't think the ln version of Tenki no Ko would fare this well either, nice surprise. Happy to see Re:Zero, Seishun Buta Yarou and Mahouka in the list too. Curious on "Kusuriya no Hitorigoto" though, hopefully an anime adaption of this is in the working so anime-onlies like I can have a go at this story. And of course #BringBackWeeklySalesThread, thanks for reminding NeoAnkara! Just looking at the lists, it makes me so happy that we're currently at a time where each and every of the manga shows are either getting a continuation of some format or currently airing already. A fair number of light novels too, to make things even better. And of course #BringBackWeeklySalesThread, thanks for reminding @NeoAnkara! #Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
Finally Snow said: *5. *5,895,000 5-toubun no Hanayome *6. *5,047,574 Boku no Hero Academia *7. *4,704,234 Shingeki no Kyojin MHA and AoT are beaten by harem manga  |
And so finally OP was beaten after 11 years. I have mixed thoughts. On one hand I like both of the shows. Both are 8/10 for me. But I have seen and I am more connected to characters in OP than Demon Slayer. But I know that it will change over the period of time. And yeah, happy for TenSura. |
Still the light novel sales are much lower than the manga sales. Even popular series like Sao cannot compete with similarly popular series like aot and mha. Would like to see an increase there as some light novels are much better than mangas thus giving us more light novel animes. 😁 SAO PROGRESSIVE ANIME HYPE |
demon overratedslayer on no1 is very yikes, a garbage harem manga being this high is also???? mha shouldn't be there either, snk should be higher rest is the same as usual. @light_of_amphy shield hero is at the place where it belongs, in the trash Modified by BestBoiEren, Nov 28, 2019 11:38 AM |
OP isn't on top for once, but KnY had a huge year with its anime adaptation so this isn't too surprising. Of course this thread has the obligatory salt, it wouldn't be a MAL thread without it xD. Also I agree, #BringBackWeeklySalesThread. "MAPPA is saving anime. I have spoken." -Hayao Miyazaki, 2020 (source: dude trust me lol) |
DarkHeartWind said: Salty that OP was beaten? That's just how it it, more popular/better manga according to Japs won, deal with it. Nah, I like KnY (the anime at least, didn't read the manga yet) but it had everything going in their favor. It got a new anime and the anime was adapted by fucking ufotable which is like a godsent gift. Then, seeing as it was its first anime season it had MANY people wanting more, so maaaany people started buying every volume available which is obviously a huge factor. By now OP mostly gets its numbers from the newly released volumes (just look at the top selling volumes, damn 1st through 4th place) and since Oda takes his breaks every few weeks, there are not THAT many volumes per year. I'm not shitting on KnY but to see if it really surpassed OP in popularity can only be seen in next year's sales when most of the newer fanbase caught up with the currently available volumes and at that point, I don't think it can beat OP (yet). tl;dr: high quantity with good quality (KnY) will almost always beat low quantity with great quality (OP) also #BringBackWeeklySalesThread |
Happy to see that 3-gatsu is doing well. Season 3 when? #BringBackWeeklySalesThread |

It's why the manga adaptation of slime sells much more than the LN, for example (which is not that normal btw, manga adaptations of LN don't make big numbers like that) |
It would have been cool to see One Piece complete a 20 year winning streak, but congrats to KNY. I think the volume sales are the real indicator on which are the 10 best yearly sellers and "who is beating who". I forgot why MAL stopped posting the weekly sales, but #BringBackWeeklySalesThread |

That is hilarious. XD I used to be a watchmaker. |
 Fuutarou's harem beating Eren's harem... I mean it's the Quintuplets vs. the Titans. It's anyone's guess who would be winning, lol. Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
Congrats to Kimetsu, it's finally getting the recognition and love it deserves. :3 |
Holy shit I didnt know kaguya was that huge, I'm sure its from the anime boost but still jesus, Aka has come a long way from making a canceled angsty action manga Immahnoob said: Jizzy, I know you have no idea how to argue for shit, tokiyashiro said: Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
NeoAnkara said: #BringBackWeeklySalesThread Preach it! Congratulation to Kimetsu no Yaiba for beating One Piece. I'm a fan of both manga. Kingdom at number 3. Brilliant. Look forward for season 3. |
#BringBackWeeklySalesThread back then, i was like "well, there is still ANN but then they also stop reporting it and then fuck me. the only way to found them is browsing hard to search forum post in mangahelper. god, what a disaster. mootjee said: KnY overrated as fuck. Be grateful to Ufotable because of one episode. good adaptation didn't automatically give original source sales. as well bad adaptation either.  "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
Ufotable did a hell of a job boosting interest in the manga and getting people to buy over 7M of the manga's previous volumes. I can image Shounen Jump will be using them as much as they can in the future. Still OP is selling well over 2M a volume and KNY is yet to break 1M a volume. It'll be interesting the see if the interest in the series increases next year too. On a side note: It's interesting that OP last year and this year sold 4 volumes, but sales have gone up by 2M, no doubt down to Wano. If you look at MHA, last year is sold 4 volumes, this year 5 and it's sales have gone down almost 2M. Nick-Knight said: Freakin' finally Wan Piss lost its undeserved crown after a long time. I'm so sad that Oda making a mint selling millions of his acclaimed manga series pains you so much. It must be really hard for you .........

#BringBackWeeklySalesThread Congrats to Kimetsu no Yaiba! Ufo adaptation was top tier even though the story was basically "non-stop shonen fights" and it's not a good thing honestly. |
If only we could get the weekly manga volume sales list, MAL would be back to its glory days. We looked forward to those sales list so much. Please, please, PLEASE bring them back! |
One Piece bros hold me, how could this happen for us to get beaten by some trash ass demons killing manga. This can't be happening. Btw glad for Kingdom at no.3, slowly but steadily rising up.  |
Good Demon slayers top one well deserve better than shitty mainstream shounen like one piece and most of them are overrated anyway. Glad too see SNK is up there Still awesome :)  |

It lost its crown in 1905 but again gained it in 1935 for 851 days. Then it ended. It retired with the crown. After WW2 it's volumes and author hot destroyed. New crown was then made.

i really dislike people discredit manga success "well, it's anime works". as much as good anime is, if people disinterested with manga, they wouldn't buy it (look at you Fire force). this not special to KnY. as hard as a company put advertise, if the product is not satisfying, it wouldn't sell. people have been saying this for years.

There is a high doubt that they just do not want to recognize OP being beaten (despite both mangas being published by them).  |
