OPM, TG,SNK and BNHA, the New Big 4 in the US.

OPM and TG again seem to be neck to neck.

lol why do people always comment this on every NY Times list?

The highest sales for even the most consistently charting volume of Tokyo Ghoul only charted 6,324 units at the end of 2015, and One Punch Man only sold 3,359. (Source: http://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2015.html)

The US market isn't significant enough sales wise to influence decisions like that, it shows them that there is overseas interest in a series, but not enough to make a heavy investment such as that.

Dude do you realize not that much changes over 5 months, do you think the sales have tripled or something?

Numbers aren't compiled until year end for graphic novels so obviously I would have to use the 2015 count.

All things considered sales are far healthier in the US then they were say 3-4 years ago. Plus, if you combine a series' entire sales and take it into account, it does reveal a noticeable userbase albeit being at least around 10 times smaller than in Japan.

Yep the sales have continued to increase since 2013



Although I do wonder if there's going to be a small dip now that Naruto is over.
