hueheuheuheuheu, yaps, for a second there I thought it was exact the same thing as last week, but it's not exactly the same thing, just the same thing

And that makes what? 6... 7 weeks with me making snarky comments about NY times manga list?

Boy do I feel fulfilled

That OPM HYPE! XD

The sales won't be stopping ever, the dub should be around the corner so even more exposure for it :)

At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if OPM airs on Toonami soon.

I miss Mahoutsukai no Yome. Hope to see it again soon on the list.

It kind of annoys me when people say there is no change. Like, manga releases already occur very infrequently in the US. The reason the list doesn't change is because manga is already an unpopular form of media in addition to the fact that no new manga are really being released. If manga releases were as frequent and abundant as they are in Japan this list would be very different I think.

Actually it's only one manga now, OPM, that sells the most. Tokyo Ghoul kinda stopped the hype train.

It's fair, casual anime watchers only get expose to the mainstream stuff, and publishers take advantage of that

Monster Secret got on the list because of the monster girl train hype last year ( monster musume) . The anime is mediocre so i'm surprised it got on the list, the manga executes the face expressions better .

Two weeks from now Food War Volume 10 should be up there .

It has been on this list for 2-3 years now. Especially vol 1 for 120 weeks. Do you really expect it to be here every week after 3 years the anime has ended and most fans have brought all the vols already.

It used to barely get in. Now with TG and OPM, it's unlikely that it will even appear during it's first week of release.

Naruto being here doesn't surprise me, since I know how big it is in the US, I've seen more Bleach than One Piece (and Bleach's popularity declined these past years).

My monster Secret had an anime in summer 2015 so I'm surprised people are saying it's on the list because of MonMusu.

The anime of My Monster Secret: Actually, I am... was pretty average at best and wasn't commercially successful. Monster Musume was pretty much successful and the manga volumes in the US have all entered into the top 10 chart at least once. In a way Monster Musume could be referenced as indirectly helping sales as both series are somewhat similar, minus the ecchi and harem aspects.

excepy monmusu and my monster secret is totaly different series. rather than monmusu relation, tv series (which is complitely abomination), or other reason, it's because the booming of online manga reader with lot of meme from it.

It's probably the same honestly, just because they buy it in higher quality than us doesn't mean it's different.

Not to mention you can't just change how other countries measure individual publications, the only reason why this one goes up every week is because NY Times posts this list every week with solely manga, in the majority of countries they're grouped in with graphic novels so it's not as easy to find an isolated list of just manga.

They are different. There is more varied taste in France and Europe. Of course the top 3 or so manga are shounen but the rest of the list isn't just shounen and harem.

There are monthly list for France and a yearly one, I dunno why the news team doesn't bother posting them considering they are more important quantity wise but you can find them in this thread:

There is also some lists for Germany.

To be fair, most people on myanime list arent from France, and while japanese comics may thrive more, it doesn't represent the level of acceptance or validity a best seller list from the New York times does.

Basically what im saying is, U S A, U S A, U S A

Yet we have lists for Japanese DVD/BD sales. lol

Most people on MAL aren't from USA either. I've probably seen more Canadians...
