Nothing unexpected here.
Though I can't say I like seeing that much crap on this list.

28, *1,494,817 Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai


It sells so well...yet it hasnt been licensed yet...WHAT THE FUCK MAN!!

The anime has, if it matters.

Glad to see Gintama, Saint Young Men, Full Metal Alchemist, and Hunter x Hunter up there!! :D

28, *,707,824 Ao no Exorcist vol.2
31, *,691,030 Ao no Exorcist vol.2

huh?

That's really the difference between 1 and 2? it's huge.

I'm not surprised seeing One Piece placing first up there. I couldn't be more happy.

Volume by Volume
#30 & 31 should be Shingeki no Kyojin
like this

30, *,695,719 Shingeki no Kyojin vol.5
31, *,691,030 Shingeki no Kyojin vol.2

Oh wow. What a surpise. All shounen except for Kimino Todoke. -.-

I'm assuming there was a "special edition" to volume 2. :x Because volume 4 and volume 5 have repeats as well.

Obviously, i don't like the top 2 series at all, but Japan has different flavors than I do.

Is One Piece even that good?? I mean it obviously sells well...maybe I'll start reading it....

Sorry. I mis-pasted the link.

Well one piece is the best shonen jump read it and u will enjoy it

Kimi ni Todoke is raking.

Out of the many books I bought, I only got stuff from Natsume Yuujinchou and Thermae Romae out of that list. :O Thermae Romae will get more lovin after the movie.

20, *1,853,198 Deadman Wonderland

Its weird how the manga sells so well but its anime was a massive flop and barely even charted. I guess the demographics who buy manga and anime are different.

Nice to see One Piece, Kimi ni Todoke and Katekyo Hitman Reborn! are on the list.

Glad to see Gintama and Conan there though Conan is really dragging on too long and not resolving the initial plot.

shonen manga rules

I'm reading Toriko, as well as watching anime, and I do like it, but to be honest, I'm rather surprised that it is so popular - it just doesn't seem like the kind of setting many people would find interesting, even if it is shounen, altough with grown up people as main characters.

one piece is definitely on the top! I mean it has been a big year for the story! It made my day! <3

Shingeki no Kyojin - really deservers spot there.
One Piece, HELL YEAH!

This is more proof of how One Piece is awesome.

Wow! I mean cmon,look at the difference in sales between One Piece and Bleach and Naruto. One Piece > both of them.

One Piece is #1,no surprise.America needs to learn that Naruto & DBZ are nothing compare to One Piece.
If you haven't read it or watch it & you're interested,go READ it.Yes there's 600+ chapter & the 1st 70-ish is slow,but once you're in there's no going back.
If you think One Piece is stupid or suck,that's you're opinion.....& lost.

They sure are crazy about One Piece.

Shounens up top, not much of a surprise.



Huh, didn't see that coming. But I'm glad it's up there. It certainly deserves the attention it's getting.

Glad to see so many of my favourites up there. But Ao no Exorcist? Really? Wow, guess it's popular after all...
One Piece doesn't surprise me at all. I myself love the series, but I still can't believe it's that popular. It completely stole the top 4 spots on the volume by volume list with even more volumes below. Damn! Oda-sensei must feel on top of the world.

Haha, indeed! It's nice to see so many of them selling so good, I'll add comments about specific series a bit later...

As for the thing about the best, well, One Piece is the most-selling one, it's probably the best for a lot of people, everyone will always have their own best anime/manga, though...

Its a big year for OP every year.

Yeah I'm suprised One Piece first ,but the diffrent from the selling of One piece and Naruto are scary OO And all the volumes of OP takes the first places XD
Gintama sixth :D

looks like conan is going to be done with its run soon

Maybe because the adaptation was nothing far from horrible.

LOL that made me laugh cause that's what I was thinking. Although I'm not a fan of One Piece (Definitely not my cup of tea) its good to see it sell so well. Lots of money is always good for the industry.

Also
34, *1,281,128 Kekkaishi
In my opinion one of the most underrated series out there I really enjoyed it

japan loves one piece^^

2008 5,956,540
2009 14,721,241
2010 32,343,809
2011 37,996,373

and i still believe one piece has not reached his peak in sales^^

One Piece, Naruto-expected places, it was amazing to see One Piece's first volume on the list, as well!
Ao no Exorcist, it just shows how good that 25 episode advertisement did, congrats
Toriko-I'm kinda surprised it got so high...
Fairy Tail, Gintama, Bakuman, Bleach-even though Bleach is not as high as I expected, the rest is
Kimi no Todoke-it's one of rare not-shounen shows that are selling so good!
Things like Shingeki no Kyojin and Saint Young Man sell so well, there're also quite some sports manga
I'm still surprised about the sales of Deadman Wonderland manga when compared to the anime, it's a big difference...
There are also some others I'm really glad to see, I hope these manga sales are increasing over years, it'd be nice to see that info...

Almost no action manga adaptation selling/succeed, unless its big hits that airing on primetime or something. Really contrasting with LN-adaptation.

One Piece is huge and becomes huger with each year. 8)

Really happy about Nodame Cantabile's 1 million mark.

'3 Gatsu no Lion' with ~600,000 copies sold for last 2 volumes without an adaptation is amazing. I'm waiting for it to end, so I can read it at once.

one piece 40mliion tankabon sold
but by the year end its tv rating will not averidge over 5.5 shocking

lol at One Piece compared to all the other manga's..

You could add 2 place to 8 place and one piece still wouldnt be beaten!

Glad to see REAL.

There nothing stopping One piece just keep getting popular year in year out, good that TLR darkness is well over a million sold with only 3 vol release so far without an anime to back it, Deadman wonderland sold 1.8 mill vol, but the anime is an massive flop...

It's only 47th place but I love how REAL is up there :D

I actually read the whole new One Piece arc yesterday, I can really tell why it sold a lot better then the rest. But damn, 1st and 2nd have such a huge difference.

I lol'd.

Allow me to put things in perspective.

One Piece Vol. 61 sold about 25,000,000 copies.
There are around 125,000,000 people in Japan.

1 in 5 people read One Piece.

And for good reasons.

It's not 25 m it's 3 millions.
Learn to read \o/

Guess I need to start One piece.
And... Kuroko No Basuke is really selling that well.
It's true that i love it (the little panel at the end of each chapter is awesome) but i didn't think it was that popular)

1 & 2

I am disappoint.
