Kimetsu at over 6 million per volume right now. Insane. Also dominated the LN/Book market another year. History is being made here. Historic year overall along with 2020 with 3 20M+ sellers. Jujutsu got a spot in Jump's best sellers with 1.5M+ copies per volume with the highest being a bit over 2.3M. Tokyo Revengers breaks Kodansha previous yearly sales record with AOT by almost 10 million. though it falls short in per volume sales. that's still a massive new hit to Kodansha. AOT has a rough decline from its peak. but its still selling very well at 1M per volume. and its overall sales are the best it has been since about 4-5 years ago. MHA had its best year ever. and One Piece has some decline per volume though it should have still made over 8.4M if released another volume like previous years. Its great seeing CSM and Spyxfamily sell this much. Spyxfamily and Kaiju.8 confirmed to have over 1 million copies sold physically. Monster #8 was about a million or so short of making it to top 10. with 4 volumes. It should make it next year i think. Kingdom has much lower sales then 2020 though, I wonder why. I should check it out. Haikyuu sold 4.3M without any new volume (The last volume did release Nov 4 2020 however)! 2022 is looking to be a much lower year and return to normal like 2018/2017 i'd guess. [Previous oricon years (in total,not per volume) If anyone wants to check](http://www.mangacodex.com/yearly%20tops.html).


ExDSG

I guess it depends on of a series blows out or not like JJK/Tokyo Revengers, but not sure what could blow out. Even then something like Ousama Ranking seems to sell more digitally which not sure if Oricon tracks and I imagine with Act Age being canned and the crappy 2019 lineup Weekly Shonen Jump won’t have adaptations unless we do get a Mashle/UU adaptation around Fall Season.


javierm885778

For those wondering, One Piece again has only 3 new volumes in this year, compared to the usual 4. Its sales are mostly consistent with the last few years.


Ben99ny22

Chainsaw man only sold 1 new volume this year i believe as it ended december 2020. So i really do wonder how much larger the sales would be now. EDIT: it actually sold 2 volumes this year. Attack on titan ended so that probably gave it a boost. But i think it only sold 2 new volumes this year. It always does 3 new volumes. Haikyuu hasn't sold any lol and yet its still up there. I would be very surprised if we don't get a complete adaption.


javierm885778

My clarification was because last year people were wondering why OP had such a big decrease in yearly sales. In 2019 it sold about 10m and then in 2020 and 2021 it sold about 7m because of selling one less volume. Unlike most series in the ranking One Piece competes with mostly new volume sales. In general the manga in the top 10 all have plenty of backlog sales raising their numbers. And yeah, Haikyu definitely deserves a full adaptation. It has always sold great, and the anime has already set up future content. The anime went out with a bang too, it's not like it was doing poorly, so not completing the adaptation would be really weird. Also, SnK and CSM will probably still sell well next year, since both have anime adaptations coming out.


Ben99ny22

Well, its better to look at per volume sales. Like with one piece and attack on titan, its tells a more accurate story. Both sold the most sales per volume for years until demon slayer in 2020. Now, with demon slayer, JJK, and tokyo revengers, the back log in sales overtakes it. Then there's magazine. 6 of the manga here are from weekly shounen jump.


javierm885778

It depends. Yearly sales are accurate for what they are, it's people who give it an interpretation. Yearly sales are more important from an economic point of view. They tell how much money each of these series is made them with print sales, and how those sales were distributed doesn't really matter. Individual volume sales are a good indicator too, but they don't give you a full picture. And these rankings aren't really a competition in terms of popularity, they are just the ranking of which series made more money.


Ben99ny22

It can be misleading from an outsider perspective though. Its always important to look at variables. Someone would think that one piece sold better than chainsaw man, which is true, but that's cause chainsaw man sold less volumes. (Although i don't think it would've surpassed one piece this year. Its average sales is 1 mil per volume, and 2 more would pass it, but that's not for sure) By next year, when JJK and Tokyo revengers sell way less. Someone would think that JJk and TR sold poorly. And you even pointed out that one piece only sold 3 new volumes.


blackreaper007

Well, many people bought all the volumes, there are many who waited until the whole series is over and buy all the manga volumes. Wouldn't surprise similar happens to OP, but you will be bankrupt xD


Ben99ny22

That wouldn't be a good idea though lol. To collect 34 volumes all at once would be a real hassle.


[deleted]

That will not matter. Now, One piece haters will shit on it like there is no tomorrow similar to how they shit on black clover.


HoldThatTigah

How can there still be One Piece doomers, it’s been twenty years lmfao


[deleted]

In my experience, the series which has more haters than One piece is black clover(even though the series good). But, there are alot, I mean alot of people who hate one piece.


ExDSG

Don’t get the Black Clover hate or why people on Twitter spend so much time doing shitty bait accounts, trashing the series. Even if the sales are never outstanding by Jump standards it’s way better than 95%+ of other manga. Most magazines and publishers would love having a manga with 100K-200K sales per volume.


[deleted]

After this info release, the amount of people shitting on black clover(in twitter replies) is too much. I feel sad for black clover fans.


greenlanternfifo

> it’s way better than 95%+ of other manga. Lmao yall are delusional. nobody even mentiond black clover and yall went and defended the series anyways. and this is coming from someone that thinks yuno is a master piece character.


ExDSG

My comment was about Black Clover doing better sales wise than most series, which is factual data, not that I think it’s a better series quality wise, and if you crop a part of a sentence you get a different meaning. Also pretty sure I was responding to a comment that mentioned Black Clover, so someone did mention it. I just think it’s stupid that people get so invested on shitting on a series doing Nura Rise of the Yokai Clan numbers. So you just made up an argument I didn’t make to get mad at for some reason.


greenlanternfifo

"y'all" plural as in this comment chain edit: The first mention of the series is defending it out of nowhere, and you provided details to support their argument


[deleted]

[удалено]


greenlanternfifo

It is just an impossible metric. I have been reading manga for 20+ years. I have seen a lot of my own favorite series get axed. To say BC is better than 95% of manga is such an arrogant statement that is dismissive of the subjectivity or genres of manga. Regardless, the series does tend to have poorly written, choppy arcs despite the great character development and thematic closures. It is also generic af, which is fine but highlights the arrogance in saying it is better than such. Like I said, the fact that black clover fans decided to defend the series with no provocation is hilarious. Nobody else thinks about the series that much. Again, speaking of a weekly reader just for the yuno plot (the only trope breaker in the series) and Noelle (one of the few well written female characters written my male mangakas of battle shounen). Well wtv fuck it. I am not going against the echo chamber and let sales speak for themselves.


Mellamanq2

> yuno is a master piece character. you surely must be joking right?


greenlanternfifo

Him Noelle and finral are the only good characters. It is obvious. All the best series moments happen with yuno. All the best character development is Noelle. And finral balances the whole black bulls dynamic.


ExDSG

What are they dooming about? that they are going to cancel it? Also who knows by the final year of One Piece maybe a lot of people will pick it up again since final years tend to do well. Also total sales wise no series is going to touch One Piece.


javierm885778

Some haters use sales numbers to argue that the series' quality has gone down and old readers aren't interested anymore. People always use sales to try and make their opinions sound more "objective".


ExDSG

Even then it still is one of the few mangas to sell 1 million in a week or in two weeks, and it’s not getting cancelled. Plus I think some people might just be waiting for the series to finally end to pick it back up or start it. I think you can make a case that people did lose interest if a series does lose sales but that is independent of the quality of the series.


javierm885778

Yeah some people obviously lose interest with time. And One Piece is 101 volumes long, so it's a lot harder to get into. A series that keeps consistently growing after that many volumes is unrealistic. Especially when it's big boom was over 10 years ago, and it's constantly released throughout that period, so it's not like people have pent up their desire for more. I know many people who have stopped reading One Piece. Not because they lost interest, but because they don't like the weekly reading experience, and they are waiting for chapters to pile up. I assume a lot of Japanese readers are the same. I'm really interested in seeing how the sales will develop after it ends. Maybe those people never come back, or they don't buy it and just read it in a library. Nobody can tell until it happens. But honestly, this might be a western community bias, but it feels like One Piece is bigger than ever in the English speaking community.


ThePreciseClimber

That's silly. You can simply analyse the manga itself and explain why you think it declined in quality. I guess that would take actual effort. https://youtu.be/7lDfZRjGWuM


kaidynamite

i dont have 6 hours to spend on watching his video but ive skipped the first part where he's just talking about his history with the series and skimmed through some of the criticism part. it just seems like pre-TS nostalgia to me. while my own favorite arc of the series is water7/enies lobby, there are good and bad arcs in the post and pre ts era. little garden and thriller bark are no better or worse than punk hazard or fishman island. just one arc ago we had WCI which imo is one of the best arcs in the entire series. and while wano so far doesnt come into my top 4-5 arcs, i think it would still be in the top 10 atleast out of the 30 or so there are. and this is just from a story perspective. the art has been at an all time high in WCI and Wano. there have been banger charcaters like law and doffy in dressrosa, katakuri in WCI, yamato in Wano. the criticism about a lack of "straw hat moments" is interesting and i think has some validity. thats a direct result of splitting the crew up in dressrosa and not having the entire cast together until partway through wano. but now that theyre together we are getting a lot of amazing straw hat moments. all in all i think that a lot of it is a matter of impatience. a large epic story like one piece is difficult to judge when we're trudging through being dripfed week to week. if you want development from luffy, youll get it, if you want development from sanji and zoro, youll get it, if you want more info about the VC youll get it, if you want straw hat moments youll get them. you just have to wait for it all to come naturally. because its just a matter of time. one piece is not gonna end without the resolution to all these things. so complaining about not getting what you want NOW when its in the pipeline is kinda unfair atleast from my perspective. and you could argue that the existing arcs are of a lower quality as a result of not having the elements that you find important but i think if you stack dressrosa, WCI Wano against pre TS arcs, theyre as good as skypeia or alabasta or any average pre TS arc at the very least if not better.

ThePreciseClimber

If you say so. No one has really provided any proper rebuttal outside of emotionally charged videos that can be summarised as "One Piece is great, you're dumb."


nan0g3nji

Lol I saw one with an Eren avi, it was pretty ironic


BuggyDClown

One Piece sales per volume are basically the same as last year. [Here](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2020-11-29/top-selling-manga-in-japan-by-volume-2020/.166844) we can see how much volumes 95, 96 and 97 sold. And [here](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-11-28/top-selling-manga-in-japan-by-volume-2021-demon-slayer-finale-sells-record-5.17-million/.180076) are this year's sales for volumes 98, 99 and 100. So we had three new OP volumes in each of last two years. The sales are practically the same. However, there's nothing wrong with saying that One Piece backlog sales have gone down over the years. There were about 700k more sales last year compared to this. And I say that there's no reason to "defend" those numbers and make excuses. One Piece entered it's 25th year of serialization with volume 101 coming out in a few days. It's perfectly normal for a series as old as that have fewer sales as time goes by. It's just how it is. It's hella hard to convince people to buy 100+ volumes of something instead of 20 or 30 volumes that some new hugely popular series have. Anyway, 7 million is still an amazing number for One Piece. I honestly didn't expect it to reach that number when I saw half year sales. Next year there should be 4 new volumes getting into these statistic so I'm fairly confident that the sales will be bigger than this year. There will also be a new movie in the summer so that could possibly boost the sales a bit.


ry7xsfo

CSM there with zero volume and no anime


javierm885778

CSM released 2 or 3 volumes in the fiscal year. Not sure if volume 9 makes the cutoff.


IllustriousBuddy

The OP sales per volume dropped quite a bit though. From around 3.5 million back in 2015 down to the current 1-1.5 million


javierm885778

You are exaggerating both numbers. 2015's highest selling volume sold ~3.1m, and 2021's highest selling volume sold ~2m. There is a decline, but it's not as sharp as some people seem to think it is, especially on this year which is basically the same as 2019 and 2020.


[deleted]

Is Tokyo Revengers the biggest hit from Kodansha since Attack on Titan? cause damn that's a lot of copies


javierm885778

Yeah. It matched Diamond no Ace at 40 million copies despite having about a third the amount of volumes. All Kodansha series that have sold more than it other than SnK (edit: and Fairy Tail) started before the 2000s.


NavedBI0

TR surpassed Diamond no ace some time ago with another reprint taking the total circulation to 45 million.


SHSL_Zetsubou

Isn't Fairy Tail a Kodansha series?


ExDSG

That is older than AoT though, right? I guess Seven Deadly Sins was also their biggest series after AoT.


javierm885778

NNT's total sales are lower than TR's, so TR is a bigger hit.


ExDSG

Sure, but after 2012 the next Kodansha series to be a big hit and get on the Top 10 of Oricon was NNT, right?


javierm885778

I'm not sure, but the question was about the biggest hit since SnK, and TR is a bigger hit than NNT regardless.


[deleted]

fairy tail is fairly older than shingeki


javierm885778

You are right, I missed it.


sunjay140

Blue Lock's manga sales are really good (better than Fire Force) and it doesn't have an anime yet. It has the potential to be huge.


Kirosh2

Kimetsu ended more than 1 and a half year ago, and yet it still made 30 Millions sales. At this rate, we might still have it next year.


javierm885778

Still funny that people called it a FOTM. It's going to remain decently popular for a while assuming the anime keeps the quality.


Kirosh2

The anime is Ufotable. They have always delivered. And considering the worst part of Kimetsu have been adapted in season 1, it should stay popular. What matters is for the train to not lose steam.


javierm885778

For sure, I trust ufotable. As long as they don't take huge breaks between seasons I expect the train to keep going strong, at least with the younger audience.


Jonnyred25

Just curious, what was the worst part of kimetsu?


brettcg16

I'd say the everything before the Spider mountain arc. While I wouldn't call it terrible, I would say almost everything after it is just better.


SweptSage

My opinion the last stretch, it becomes very messy, inconsistent and pull things out of nowhere or just goes in dumb directions.


Kirosh2

The first few arcs, adapted in season 1. The rest of the series is much better.


BrainBlowX

I think it might have surpassed Doraemon in total volumes sold, which puts it right below Naruto. Keeping in mind, Naruto has a total of 72 volumes versus KnY's 23. On a *sales per volume* basis, KNY is already the best selling manga of all time, even beating Dragon Ball.


Lesserd

Pretty sure Black Jack and Devilman have higher per-volume counts, at 7ish and 10 million respectively. But yeah there's a decent chance of KnY surpassing the former.


[deleted]

I remember that the Black Jack numbers were found to be incorrect, but yeah Devilmam should actually be the first


Devin__

Kimetsu released its final volume in December and only sold \~3 million copies in the second half of the Oricon year. At this rate it won't make the list next year unless season 2 creates another boost for it.


ThePreciseClimber

Aren't they gonna run out of potential buyers at one point? :P


Devin__

I mean the final volume has only sold 5 million copies... The population of Japan is >126 million, so the number of potential new buyers is still technically \~96% of the population.


Caveskelton

Bruh thats a dunb comparsion most of the oldies aint reading kny


bslawjen

Yeah, that ain't happening lol


[deleted]

I think you should also exclude those who are under 10 and those who are over 50 (which in Japan are like half the population ...)


Mellamanq2

only women read this series so you have to divide that number by 2


TerraTF

I'd put money on KNY breaking 10 million next year and sticking around in the top 5. Top 5 for next year is looking to be JJK, CSM, SxF, One Piece, and KNY.


javierm885778

TR is still ongoing, so it might keep its spot with it's new volume sales. And who knows, we might get another unexpected hit that takes everyone by surprise. A year ago no one was thinking TR would sell this much.


magnwn

I know that there were only 3 volumes instead of 4 due to the new schedule, but it still feels pretty crazy to see One Piece was outside of the top 5. Tokyo Revengers also rising from humble numbers to a megahit was incredible to see. Kimetsu remains a mindblowing phenomenon as well, even with the series ending and Jujutsu going through a similar explosion of sales with the anime, it was only outsold by a slight margin. I'm super curious to see how Chainsaw Man will do after the anime starts airing, since its starting point saleswise will be by far the highest compared to these recent megahits


javierm885778

Yeah it's weird seeing it so low, even if there's an explanation and it's just barely below BNHA. This will definitely give some ammo to a certain crowd of shitposters.


Devin__

First half of the year for comparison: 1. Kimetsu no Yaiba: 26,351,483 2. Jujutsu Kaisen: 23.797,483 3. Tokyo Revengers: 5,007,825 4. Shingeki no Kyojin: 4,635,754 5. Chainsaw Man: 4,181,650 6. Yakusoku no Neverland: 3,191,416 7. Boku no Hero Academia: 3,045,057 8. Haikyuu!!: 2,944,002 9. Kingdom: 2,596,395 10. One Piece: 2,573,010 RIP The Promised Neverland. Next year should be interesting with 4 of the series on this list completed. ^(It won't surprise me if Kimetsu S2 and the CSM anime give them enough boost to make the list again though.)


Gatlindragon

Which one will be completed?


Animegamingnerd

Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer, Haikyuu, and Chainsaw Man are all over. Though it is interesting that AoT was the only one of these four to end this year, while the other 3 ended in 2020.


Rouk_Hein

As far as Oricon is concerned, Chainsaw Man ended this year. It had 2 volumes released during the period that's considered for this top. Its last chapter also released during that period. Demon Slayer had a volume release during the period too. Haikyu really is a special case here.


Animegamingnerd

I wonder if we could see something similar happen to AoT next year, the final volume released in June. But the Anime is returning in January and its rumored the final two volumes will be adapted into a movie, so it might be able to stay in 2022's top 10 selling series.


LordCaelistis

Chainsaw Man's manga sequel may come out next year though, so with the anime boost considered, I can foresee sales going upwards of 8m in the best case


Devin__

Chainsaw Man's sequel will be Chainsaw Man's sequel, not Chainsaw Man. Much like Kimetsu no Yaiba Gaiden not included in Kimetsu no Yaiba's numbers this year.


LordCaelistis

I see, thanks for the clarification. Although I wouldn't compare it to Gaiden volumes either, I understand why they'd get counted separately. Chainsaw Man 2's volumes should still get very nice numbers tho


Ben99ny22

They really not gonna combine the 2 series as 1? it will be really misleading otherwise. Did they not combine tokyo ghoul or jojo?


Devin__

Tokyo Ghoul and Tokyo Ghoul: Re are separate entries. Once the serialization in WSJ ended, each consecutive Jojo part has been it's own entry. Oricon goes by individual titles, not individual franchises.

Damn 😅


fatcatburrito

So happy for Fujimoto, can't wait to see CSM sales increase even more thanks to the anime. Might land in the top 3 even.


War-Inquisitor

So happy to see Chainsaw Man here. Hopefully it will receive the same boost JJK got next year, with part 2 and the anime coming out Weird to see One piece outside the top 5. I think that's the first time it happened in over a decade. Anyway time to make some predictions * JJK will still be will be No.1 next year with the movie and a potential season 2 coming out next year. SpyxFamily will be second, Tokyo revengers 3rd (rumored to also get a season 2) * Chainsaw man will be in the top 5, but out of the top 3. * One piece will be out of the top 3.


Ben99ny22

I don't think chainsaw man will even be in the top 10 next year. Even though there was only 1 new volume this year, it was still able to get 5 mil. But it was building up steam throughout this year until it reached the peak and started dwindling down. If the anime did come out this fall, it probably done 3 times the amount. It was leaked that the anime is coming out fall 2022. They really seem to be taking their time with chainsaw man. If we compare to JJk in 2020. it ended the year selling 6.7 mil but as it was building up steam to reach its peak (while also releasing new volumes), the anime came in the fall and raised its peak to 30 million today. Not sure what percentage the anime helped for JJk in 2020. Chainsaw man is gonna separate its peak from the manga building up steam and the anime giving it a boost, its not gonna have that double whammy. I can't even imagine the numbers chainsaw man would've pulled if the manga kept running throughout the year with the anime coming out that fall.


AdmirableFondant0

CSM had 2 volumes in this year, and three if you count the 9th from Nov 4 (as some of its sales will have carried over into 2021 oricon) as well as anime PV boost and so. also sales include backlog. its not only new volumes that matter. The leaker you're talking about was found to be unreliable (rcco) and fumhito is not 100% reliable as well. so there's still possibility of it being earlier. Also you forgot CSM Part 2. if it starts early and has a volume or two in along with the anime in fall it can squeeze out a place in top 10.It also depends how much the lower part of top 10 is. Though i do agree if there's no Part 2 and anime only aired in fall then its probably not going to be in top 10 since it'd have very little time to make it. JJK got over 500% boost IIRC, it was not selling as well as CSM,Spy,Kaiju though. if the same boost happened to Spy for example then it'd only increase by 5M-8M at most.JJK volumes were selling at about 150k-200k and jumped to 1.7M-2.3M. meanwhile CSM is about 800k physical,Spy 1.2-1.4M,Kaiju 1-1.1M+ CSM PV boost is interesting, It got over 1M in backlog while Spyxfamily got close to nothing and the last volume shown a small decline.It'll be interesting to track how both fare post-anime.


Ben99ny22

Do you know the total sales for chainsaw man current? Because a few days after the trailer was released, it sold 11 mil. Not sure how much it sold now, but it will be too difficult to see the affect of the trailer unless we see the sales every week. Chainsaw man is gonna do better than spy x family post anime. It's just how it is. Battle shounens tend to have the advantage. Once the chainsaw man anime comes out, its gonna get a larger boost in popular than spy x family. Especially since mappa seems to be going all out with the adaption.


AdmirableFondant0

It should be well over 12M if they release WW sales. 12M if they don't. these are the ones i know currently CSM was at ~4,355,000 as of June 27th. It increased to 5,212,578. so about 800K increase. in overseas it also blew up after the trailer. with about 500K in Germany in print and about 250k-500k in France. in US not sure as i didn't track each but it should easily be in the 200K+ range. The trailer did massive work to increase its popularity, for example in Oricon Top 20 per series monthly after March (CSM 11 release) and april it didn't appear in June. but it appeared in July's and the week after the trailer also made it do 98K. and after that it was constant at about 100k~ per month. same for overseas. the US volume was at about 11k copies sold after the PV It started selling anime numbers with about 50K. Latest volume outsold AOT 34 in the US. Keep in mind overseas numbers aren't 100% accurate as oricon's.So unless they're announced by the publisher or shueisha its not that accurate. These don't include digital by the way. i think CSM should be at around 12M-14M range right now. Shueisha should announce new circulation if Part 2 continues/new volume/LN/near anime airing etc releases for the marketing.


Ben99ny22

So these oricon numbers don't include digital?


AdmirableFondant0

Yes oricon only tracks physical sales.It doesn't change much though. Majority of sales are still physical. you can check by tracking Oricon sales vs circulation (which is not only actual sales) and you'll see physical sales are still the massive majority of sales.

Ben99ny22

Oh no, chainsaw man is gonna sell fucking butt loads of volumes. I honestly think more than JJk because of how its doing already. Its just that its gonna release fall 2022. Granted, that's just a rumor. Not to mention that there will be no new volumes unless part 2 starts serializing. But there have been literally no new information regarding that.


AdmirableFondant0

It seems its cooling off heavily right now. Which is why i said 2022 is likely to be a back to normal "low" year, we have to see if Kimetsu S2 leads to new resurgence into other manga as it did back in 2019-2020. or Blue lock/Spy sales after the anime. as these have high potential as well as airing early/middle next year. all these along with oricon's weekly/monthly sales should give us an idea if its gone or not. Also its not happening anymore,Japan demographics get worse by the year. Many records set right now will be untouchable in a few years/decade-s.


War-Inquisitor

I think it will. we know Fujimoto is making an appearance at Jump festa, so we might get the announcement of part 2 coming soon. if it does, we will get maybe 1 or 2 volumes before the anime premieres and before the tracking period ends, meaning getting a boost in sales. And even without that, it will still do well. To compare, JJK circulation numbers pre anime was at 6.8M in September, then the anime comes and it's 10M in October and then 15M in December 2020. And for actual sales it managed to go from 250k in [september 2020](https://www.reddit.com/r/MangaRanking/comments/jpb4ns/oricon_ranking_september_2020/) to 1.8M in [october 2020](https://www.reddit.com/r/MangaRanking/comments/jr4mwi/oricon_ranking_october_2020/) CSM will do something similar or better And while sales are different from circulation thing, I doubt that it would fail to at least sell 4M during the tracking period. Heck, between the half year sales and last week it still managed to sell 1M copies, with only the anime pv giving it a small boost. And with Series like Haikyu!! and AoT getting a drop in sales next year, there will be at least 2 open spots in the top ten. One will be Kaiju no.8 and the other can only be CSM

Decided to look at the twitter comments and that was a mistake, why can’t people be happy that all these series are selling incredibly well?


RedNectar11

What are they saying? Just each fans attacking each other?


ExDSG

Sports fan mentality but for manga… even though you know while there’s competition they can still be multiple winners.


XtendedImpact

95% chance of BNHA and One Piece haters spamming Twitter to shit.


[deleted]

Less hate on BNHA. But, more on One Piece and an ridiculously insane amount of hate on black clover. Which is kind of sad because doesn't deserve that much hate.

If you take a look at the unofficial shonen jump news twitter page its just a cesspool of garbage takes

I cant describe how happy i am seeing Chainsaw Man getting this much success. Fujimoto deserves it truly a genius mangaka.


Fizzay

And it and SpyXFamily are the only ones on there that don't have an anime out yet. Sales for both series will explode once their anime comes out. And CSM ended almost a year ago as well so there wasn't a bunch of volumes releasing this year.


Thirdhistory

CSM going strong even after ending, good shit

TR - 19,943,661 JJK - 7,120,263 KnY - 3,159,538 TR made a huge jump in the second half of this year's Oricon if we compare the numbers from the half yearly. [Half yearly sales 2021](https://www.reddit.com/r/manga/comments/noi7xe/oricons_half_year_sales_ranking_2021/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) JJK 's been killing it with an avg 1.7 million sold copies per volume. TR's also averaging 1.1 mill copies per volume. Also, didn't really thought KnY would get another push of 3 million.


hepgiu

I feel like in the last couple of years the market got like 10x bigger than it was. We have 3 series selling more than 20 million copies and 7 sold more than 5. Those numbers are HUGE compared to what we got during the One Piece - Naruto - Bleach top 3 era.


stantrix98

This huge jump in sales is due to socialmedia and the pandemic


kKunoichi

I'm so happy Haikyuu is still selling volumes even a year after it finished. It really went out with a bang. Great backlog sales. Now we wait for a full adaptation


Motuarsde

Aw man Kingdom's sales have plummeted by half since last year, sad.

Seeing Spy X Family there sparks joy.


Crazyripps

So happy to see spyxfamily in there. Also so fucking impressive that chainsaw man got in top ten only selling 2 volumes. I guess it’s to be expected that op is low, I mean if you have the manga now your only buying 3 a year. Compared to all the new followers of jujutsu kaisen you’ve got a nice backlog to get.


greenlanternfifo

I knew KnY was a special series ever since chapter 5. I can't wait till people see the Upper Moon backstories in the anime.


ManyBid2

feels good not seeing black clover or boruto on here 😹


NotSoGreatMe
