From left to right (columns):
Volume->Initial Circulation (print) of said volume->Total circulation of said volume (till end of 2015)->Total Circulation of the whole series in 2015->Total circulation of the whole series from its start till the end of 2015.
For example, Ajin's 7th volume had an initial print number of 400k units but it was later reprinted and ended 2015 with 440k units. The series as a whole (which means every volume) had 1.44 million copies printed in 2015 alone and 4.17 million overall (at the end of 2015, which means that by now it should be higher with the new volume and the anime boost).

Both OP and SnK are now running behind their respective previous volumes so they will definitely end up as the worst performers in years. One Piece average first volume print is now 3.6 million (down from 3.8 million last year and from the all-time high of 4.05 million in 2012). Snk's at 2.25 million (down from its peak of about 2.75 million in 2014). The megablockbusters aren't really in their best shapes right now (let's see what effect if any, the movie and second season will have on each of them respectively).
Boku no Hero seems to be following Arslan Senki rather than Haikyuu/SnK based on its huge Post-GW drop. Still looking at an average of 500-600k per volume when all's said and done.

The boost from the first season hadn't ended yet by the time the second one hit (almost every volume was still in the Top 200) so the second season's boost did not actually match the first one at all, it just added to it.

Indeed BTOOOM! is still doing great for manga sales. The anime sold like dirt but the manga has kept the anime boost ever since it came out in fall 2012 so that goes to show you that it is worth it to have anime for a manga that will continue for 4 years, doubling the readership pays off even if the discs don't break even. And Himiko is pure gold for merchandise.

Pretty meh week. Didn't know Arslan sold so well, but I guess it is an Arakawa work so not too surprising.
That sad moment when Seraph of the End outsells Gintama... Especially when Gintama has been so good lately!

The thing is if it doesn't sell millions now, it probably never will. Nowadays a series almost never grows in popularity after its anime aired and second seasons usually have only a small impact. So, if this was ever to blow up this is the time and the fact that it's 2 years in or not won't change that. The only recent exception I can think of is Kingdom and that was a very particular case that BNHA is likely not to replicate.

I think Tokyo ghoul and haikyuu were still riding the momentum from their previous seasons. If bnha wants to keep its momentum then they shouldn't wait long to air season 2 or otherwise fans will lose interest like what's been happening with nanatsu and shokugeki.

Hmm two series in the top 10 this week I've never heard of before.
Glad to see Btooom! up there with them though.

Souma might be cancelled before Bleach ends if it keeps with those sub par arcs XD

During the first cour of the second season most of the Haikyuu volumes jumped into the top 200, and when the second movie released every volume of AssClass was back in the top 100
Also, does anyone have the top 10 series?terraformars and I am a hero may be included

So i don't know french so how does this work.
The first column is first print numbers? and the second column is total print numbers in the year(2015) in this case. the numbers that are in green are the ones where it had some sort of extra print?
From left to right (columns):
Volume->Initial Circulation (print) of said volume->Total circulation of said volume (till end of 2015)->Total Circulation of the whole series in 2015->Total circulation of the whole series from its start till the end of 2015.
For example, Ajin's 7th volume had an initial print number of 400k units but it was later reprinted and ended 2015 with 440k units. The series as a whole (which means every volume) had 1.44 million copies printed in 2015 alone and 4.17 million overall (at the end of 2015, which means that by now it should be higher with the new volume and the anime boost).
only data i found of Print numbers before was these two
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-06-06/manga-with-biggest-1st-printings-from-kodansha-shogakukan-shueisha-2014-2015/.88955 (april 2014 -march 2015)

yeah its pretty clear that the first print numbers for both have fallen , not sure if its really significant since they adjust it according to sales and sales are effected by the current content of the volume, and this recent volume of OP wasn't exactly filled with action, next volume is in july don't think it will do much better either though
on another page shame this Bnha anime won't get to the best moments of the manga so far, the recent chapters have been fantastic and they will be included in volume 9. From looking at these numbers i guess that volume 9 of BnHA will probably have 700-800k first print
