| Congrats Demon Slayer, the series that dethroned One Piece after a 12 year reign. And given how backlog volumes are still selling, it could repeat the feat next year. Also, it seems like things have finally stabilized after the huge declines we've had in manga sales since 2016 (when digital sales started cannibalizing physical sales). The Top 10 has significantly higher sales than last year, and most importantly, it is probably the most diverse and interesting lineup since 2014/2015. Definitely the start of a new cycle/generation similar to 2014 when Naruto (second only to One Piece in terms of manga readers) passed the torch to the rising stars of the time (Attack on Titan, Assassination Classroom, Tokyo Ghoul, Haikyuu, Seven Deadly Sins...). This time, it seems like its Attack on Titan's time (again, second only to One Piece in number of readers) to bid farewell. Though, some things never change, like Shueisha utterly dominating the list and One Piece towering over everything else in per volume sales.

Mattinator95 said: So which is correct im seeing like 2 different news saying that KNY is first and another saying OP is first ANN and crunchyroll are saying one piece are first , and another is saying demon Slayer are first ANN also posted the Oricon ranking: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-11-27/top-selling-manga-in-japan-by-series-2019/.153758 This is Oricon vs Shueisha. Who can you trust? Who knows. |
| The most surprising thing for me on this list is 5-toubin selling more than BnHA and SnK. Just wow. |

Peeti said: BestBoiEren said: Calm down. Your ass is burning. Control it or it will catch up to your baby maker.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 One thing I do agree with you: Why Snk didn't sell more as I heard it's getting better and better in the manga? Well it getting better is subjective most in the Western community feel that it has IDK how Japan views it. I mean some people might not have liked the direction of the story from survival horror which it initially sold itself compared to more of a war drama (I am biased there since I tend to prefer war stories). Most manga as they get near the end drop off with sales though. That said the reason it's not higher is more the success of other titles than it dropping sales. It's not that drastically different from last year when looking on a volume by volume basis. The yearly sales have dropped a bit though that might just less people buying older volumes. Series like Yaiba, The Quintessential Quintuplet and Neverland recently got anime this year so a lot more people are getting just into those series and are buying up older volumes which is why AOT despite being number two by per volume sale behind OP lost out in yearly sales. Most people who still care about it are caught up with it and there has been enough time for people to consider if they want to continue the series or not as it has been running for years and years. Anyway I guess other notes on other titles happy March Comes in Like a Lion is selling well hopefully a S3 maybe..... some time soon I know Shaft is having some issues. LN rarely have premises that interest me but The Pharmacist's Monologue seems quite interesting. If it's selling that well hopefully an anime? Good on Kingdom for selling well. Anyway regardless of how people feel about Yaiba it's probably good that high production shows do well in promoting their sources. May encourage better practices in the anime industry. Also yeah it would be nice if MAL started posting weekly and monthly sales again for manga/LN. |

| It's crazy that 5-toubun out-topped even BnHA and SnK. Gonna start reading this ig, even tho I don't like harem. Put aside Slime novel, its manga is always on top 10, damn. That Oricon vs Shueisha tho. Slime novel is strong as always. Hype for S2. Also yea, #BringBackWeeklySalesThread |

Also Shūeisha reported total Kimetsu no Yaiba sales that are 1,2kk lower than reported by Orikon. I can believe that OP sales were underestimated by Orikon, but I do not believe KnY ones were this much overestimated. |

| Oh this is kinda interesting |
| This post is off-topic, but re: #BringBackWeeklySalesThread We stopped posting the weekly sales threads because we needed to change Oricon accounts to continue paying for access to this data. When we changed accounts, it became apparent to us that we were in violation of the Terms of Use for personal accounts—namely, that the data should not be posted elsewhere. For several weeks/months, we were investigating the possibility of a corporate account to post the Weekly sales without being in violation. To be frank, the amount of money Oricon wants is outrageous, and it is simply not financially feasible. Since other Japanese outlets are not posting this data (likely due to the exorbitant price), we have no reliable sources for this data aside from the shortened versions of the rankings which Oricon makes publicly available. These top 10 are often similar titles, and since we'd already stopped posting the full rankings for a number of weeks, it didn't seem worthwhile to start posting a shortened version of this data again. The LN sales ranking is particularly problematic, because we were taking data from two rankings and removing the non-LN series to make the final ranking, which would not be as easily possible without full access. We've been investigating other rankings/sales data options in Japan, but haven't found any that we deemed suitable within a reasonable price range yet. I will post this in NeoAnkara's thread as well, so please reply to it there if you'd like to discuss further. |
| For manga: I'm so happy for One Piece, Kimetsu no Yaiba, Yakusoku no Neverland, 5-toubun no Hanayome, Boku no Hero Academia, Shingeki no Kyojin, Haikyuu!!, Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai and One Punch-Man. All great and excellent series, all selling fantastically. As for the controversy of the #1 spot, we still have conflicting information from trustful sources. But since I love both One Piece and Kimetsu no Yaiba, it really doesn't make much difference in the end to me. I'm only going to say this: If you honestly believe that Shueisha, the biggest manga company in the world, is gonna risk getting international ridicule and possible lawsuits just so they can have one of their series on top of another of their own series in a particular ranking, you seriously need to stop reading so many conspiracy theories and come back to reality. Now, if they have outdated data of the sales and published the ranking without verifying, that's a completely different story. Kaiser-chan said: Funny how the authors can respect each other but the fans of the series feel the need to trash other series when their favorite manga sales got overtaken. Bunch of children the lots of you. I know right? I mean, haters of OP and KnY are just as irrelevant as always, but it's really sad seeing fans of both series fall to the level of attacking each other. For light novels: I'm glad for Sword Art Online and the Kimetsu no Yaiba novels. There's also many works on that list that I need to start reading/watching. Finally, #BringBackWeeklySalesThread |

I don’t follow print and sales numbers anymore but “overprinting” is normal for Shūeisha. I remember them printing over 4 Million copies for a new One Piece Volume, even though it sold only around 3 Million in a year. I don’t know how the business works but I suppose that it is probably cheaper to store them somewhere then needing to reprint every year.

I can believe that OP sales were underestimated by Orikon, but I do not believe KnY ones were this much overestimated. Then let us do a little math. Most of the sales for KnY are backlog sales(means older volumes). I don’t know how many Volumes KnY has but let us say 20. The average sales per week were around 50k. So let us assume they sold 5k less than that. So 5k*20 = 100k less volumes per week. And if you do that for 20 weeks than this equals around 2 Million less sales than they thought. You can make the same calculation for One Piece. If every OP volume sold 500 copies more than they thought. Then in 52 weeks it would mean 2.5 Million more sales then estimated. But all of this doesn’t matter. The following is my last argument and is also my strongest. I think Shūeisha is a listed company. This means you can buy shares. Those companies have to follow strict laws to protect investors. The publishing of false sales numbers is literally illegal. Not only can the board and management go to jail if they knowingly published false sales numbers, but the company would become liable and open up for lawsuits from investors if they did. If you think that the management of the company would risk going to jail and being suid into nirvana for something this insignificant like OP not being number 1 then I will never be able to change people’s opinion. your argument is full of assumption, not based on data. 1. there is report FOR UNDERSTOCKING in kimetsu, not reverse. the latest reprint is just 3 days ago. it's 25 million in circulation, based on KnY upcoming volume 18 wrap up. shueisha also boosting their 1 million initial printing (which only the second time happened in this decade for new series). 2. oricon is not simply just estimating, they tracking then put estimation on data they can't gather, and has been reputable for years. every number from previous year is from them too. the whole previous top manga sales data also from oricon, not anyone else. 3. why are you wondering oricon is very relied even among industry, because most company in japan is private company. they didn't demanded to release their sales data, neither they usually went to. this not special to manga, anime, music, novel, all the same. 4. even oda acknowledge oricon data. only people like you denial about it. to only disregard oricon this year, while using same company data for previous year where OP topping. |

Because ultimately what this has done is distract everyone that one piece has lost its #1 spot and that its still up in the air whether one piece lost or not, atleast that seems to be the intention, who ever decided to release those fake numbers is a one piece fan. |

KnY data actually match with volume 17 circulation number, IN SEPTEMBER! (who would expect KnY to increase circulation by 4 million in just 1 month? no one!). |

Kuma said: keragamming said: I have brought up that exact same point as well, that all of a sudden they pull these numbers out of their ass before oricon releases theirs when they have never done this before just seems shady, as if they knew op has lost and decided to cause confusion.

But still though, I don't know why they didn't just wait on oricon results like they always do. |

| The shueisha guy posted 12 million for OP and 10 million for kny, the oppisote of Oricon. This is impossible since even oricon's limited data is above 12 million for kny so it can't be lower by the offical ranking, shueisha doesn't release their hard data either except for this case. I still don't know what bleach's worldwide sales are. |

So I'm pretty sure the sales has gone up since then with the release of 3 more volumes. |
