| The trend of Naruto dropping sales continues. It used to hit 800k in the first week. Sakamato doing well. For an ecchi manga Shokugeki seems to be doing well. |

| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| The sales of Naruto have been in the range of 700k-600k for a couple of years now. It used to have some volumes hit 1 million back in 2011 and previous years. It still consistently ranks in the top 5 manga in Japan each year and 2013 was it lowest rank at 5. http://www.oricon.co.jp/entertainment/ranking/2011/bookrank1201/index05.html |

Could it be you-know-what? |

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 |

Could it be you-know-what? Noone said they wouldn't make a continuation of Sakurasou. Then again, Aria is an ongoing series, whereas Sakurasou is finished. Making anime is a lot more popular for ongoing series as it gives the series more of a readership boost. That's the theory anyway. |

| Hidan no Aria is popular enough to have characters in a video game. I wouldn't be surprised if it was an OVA or second season announcement. |
 |
| Sakurasou's main story ended in volume 10 but Dengeki Bunko is listing a side story volume 10.5 as coming... Some day. Not enough to bother with another season most likely, which is sad. It got a PS Vita game too. Golden Time is rumored to be ending the novels and anime at the same time with volume 8 and the TV run ending at the end of the winter season, 2nd cour. A better plan IMO. Except that Golden Time has worse sales in both mediums. |

grumpytoast said: also based on the latest chapter of one piece i can see the next volume topping omg OMG I want to see that so badly, man if it doesn't happen I'll be disappointed. One Piece used to break 4mil/volume if I didn't remember wrongly, but now it's only around 2.5mil, damn I want it back at 4mil, shit's getting real now. I haven't been reading any, like.. any of the other manga since I read that One Piece chapter, it was so freakin amazing that I feel like none of the others are going to actually entertain me now. The same for anime, haven't been watching any of them either. I hope it's topping the list from next volume on XD One Piece for life |

| Am I the only one surprised about To Love-Ru (an ecchi) being in the top 10? Or I guess I am still a noob when it comes to manga. |
 |
| Also, Darkness is one of the best ecchi ever made so its sales shouldn't be surprising. |
| Japan is different. They show boobs with nipples and girls having sex in shoujo manga which is a 10-18 year old female demographic (e.g. Sukitte Ii na Yo). Bible thumping puritanical westerners may run screaming from ecchi manga but it really is no big deal in Japan to see boobs or high schoolers having implied sexual relations. To Love-Ru is one of the most popular ecchi manga and anime series. Discs and manga sells very well. High School DxD is another example. But there are tons of ecchi works and non-ecchi works which don't sell well. Does ecchi mean things will sell well? No. Does no ecchi mean they will sell poorly? No. The buyers of manga are not so shallow, they want more one way or the other. But it is not a deal breaker either way. |
Hahalollawl said: Meaning no offence, it was a fellow Canadian who wondered how an ecchi genre manga could sell well. I need to do some research here, see who it is who posts, "I would like this anime if it wasn't so ecchi" and see if they're all Canada/USA or if they include Europeans. It certainly isn't a complaint made by the intended audience of To Love Ru.hpulley said: Japan is different.

And lol at the Bible thumping puritanical westerners comment. Not because I necessarily disagree with you or because I'm a bible thumper (I'm not) but because you just threw that out there lol (careful though, some people might be offended). Although I'm not sure Europe and the U.S. should be grouped together. |
| To love ru is a terrible series but has exceptional art and the Darkness incarnation decided to get pretty explicit, so that's what people went for. But we're talking about the manga. With the exception of a brief quality increase in Motto, the anime is trash and pretty useless for purposes of well... anything. Besides, i just can't buy ecchi in the first place. When the whole point of your stuff is to sexually stimulate your audience, why not just go for the broke and make porn? |
Amiluhur said: Saying "why not just go for the broke and make porn?" proves you don't get idea of ecchi at all. I would take good ecchi over hentai any day. Darkness in particular is true masterpiece, work of God. Hentai is by no means an improvement over ecchi. A lot of what hentai do, ecchi (especially Darkness) can do better and deliver much more. (to be honest, outside restrictions put on hentai are more at fault here but well, that's how things are)To love ru is a terrible series but has exceptional art and the Darkness incarnation decided to get pretty explicit, so that's what people went for.

Also, going by what you said I'm pretty sure you haven't read TLR and only know the series from mediocre anime which isn't fair at all,especially since we're in the manga thread. But well, you would have to be into M&A for few more years to properly understand everything I said here. For now just bear in mind that genres aren't bad by themselves and you should never invite your personal prejudices into talk about quality. |

| Idk why but I felt that I just HAD to quote Shiroyasha's famous words from Mondaiji for the discussion above LOL. "True art requires your imagination for the unknown. It demands you to seek out the mysterious. The best art is that which exists in your own universe within yourself. The contents of a maiden's skirt is no different. When you can see, all you are left with are vulgar panties, but if you cant see a thing, it is art!" |

(to be honest, outside restrictions put on hentai are more at fault here but well, that's how things are) I get the idea. I just don't get the meaning of it. Why bother beating around the bush when you can just be honest and get straightforward about it, honestlly? And it's not just ecchi. Harem and most romcom as well. those kinda stuff that spend most of their time walking in place instead of actually going somehwere. I really don't get the meaning of them. At all Also, going by what you said I'm pretty sure you haven't read TLR and only know the series from mediocre anime which isn't fair at all,especially since we're in the manga thread. Oh don't give me that. I did read the entire damn thing during my highschool days (about 3-4 years ago) and found it largely meaningless and left me empty inside. Unless if you find the "MC falls atop a girl and get beaten afterward over and over again" hijinks amusing, which isn't my thing at all. But well, you would have to be into M&A for few more years to properly understand everything I said here. For now just bear in mind that genres aren't bad by themselves and you should never invite your personal prejudices into talk about quality. Was i wrong for saying that? Because i'm personally curious if there's even a single individual who read TLR not for the fanservice, but for the plot or characterization instead |

It's not fan-service if the point of it is to stimulate the reader sexually, it's ecchi. Amiluhur said: I get the idea. I just don't get the meaning of it. Why bother beating around the bush when you can just be honest and get straightforward about it, honestlly? Because teasing can be more stimulating, exciting and sexier than the going all the way. At least that's how I say it. I used to prefer ecchi over hentai and nudity in movies than actual porn movies. |

SnK wasn't even really out yet (available for sale on 9th) but still managed to rank highly.Sad to see Shingeki doing so bad this time :( Also one of the reasons it was topping for a while is because of the anime adaption.. After seeing the anime adaption many of the fans went out and bought every single volume at once.. Now that the anime has settled a little the sales are beginning to. |

Also last chapter is like what everyone has been waiting for and the fandom is in a big frenzy now and all excited and happy. I think a lot of people had put it on hold because things have been rather slow but with news of the newest chapter are getting back in. |
