I can't wait for Shingeki no Kyojin numbers in 2013 after anime airs. Manga is great, I hope anime does it justice, PVs look promising.
Shingeki no kyojin already sells between 600k ~ 700k per volume by default .Ocassionally just below 800k.
The anime might boost that figure to 1.2 million ~ 1.5 million per volume.Only few mangas have passed the 1 million mark.
Shingeki no kyojin does seem to have the potential to achieve that.

Dude, the margin between 1st and 2nd place is quite amazing. Well, that's expected from One Piece.
But I couldn't believe that Kuroko no Basuke is doing THAT well.
14 volumes from previous years getting almost 400k boost + 5 new volumes selling 600k results in 8M for 2012. Kuroko will likely fall out of top10 (e: maybe it will be #8-10) next year even though its volumes will be selling slightly better than now.
One Piece, Naruto, Kimi ni Todoke, Hunter x Hunter, Ao no Exorcist, Gin no Saji, Bleach, Thermae Romae, Shingeki no Kyojin, Yotsuba, Kuroshitsuji, 3 Gaatsu no Lion - all those manga sell better than Kuroko in reality, it's just that majority of Kuroko sales were cramped up in 2012 even though the series is like, five years old?
Kuroko will be above some of them next year thanks to bigger number of volumes released yearly but will lose to other series getting huge boost thanks to anime like probably Magi. I can't wait for Shingeki no Kyojin numbers in 2013 after anime airs. Manga is great, I hope anime does it justice, PVs look promising.

No big surprises here.

Wow KnB second??!!!I didn't know it sold so well.Seems that the anime gave it a powerful boost.I am waiting for S2 announcement.
Glad to see FT in the top 5,Shingeki no Kyojin and Ao no Exorcist.

Of course it is all volumes combined, but the number of new volumes has a significant impact.
If an extra naruto volume had come out on the last week of the year, that would have probably given it an extra 600k sales, putting it above the figure for last year.
And one piece DID drop. The reason for the drop doesn't change the fact that its sales did go down significantly.
You do realize that OP had 1 less volume also? Same as Bleach and Naruto.
Last year OP vol 61-64, this year OP vol 65-68
That's four both years. And with both years also having similar amounts of residue sales from the last volume of the previous year.
Bleach did have one less volume, though, yes.

Well, no surprise with One Piece. (Volume 65 could be #8 on it's own) and Kuroko did surprising well.
Uchuu Kyoudai selling more than Fairy Tail makes me happy.
Glad that SKET Dance and Chihayafuru are doing well too.
Damnnnn ,OP completely dominates the manga industry it's hilarious really. Selling over 1,404,220,000 US dollars(excluding this year) and over 273 million copies there is no contest for OP whatsoever.
Though the highest selling volume isn't the most recent one, so it may be going down a bit.
There's always one that dominates an industry. (Harry Potter? :O)

Also seeing Bakuman and Magi doing good is not bad either.
