CATDOLL: Pirates narrowly beat Titans! 2014 ORICON comic sales chart released

As the year draws to a close, various rankings in the anime field are coming one after another, making people dazzled. As the most authoritative and well-known Japanese ORICON ranking (also known as the Japanese Public Trust Ranking), the weight of the 2014 Japanese manga sales ranking released by it is self-evident, and it can be said to be one of the rankings that must be paid attention to in 2014. So without further ado, let's take a look at which work can win the sales dominance in the 11th district comics industry!

No. 1: One Piece Sales: 11,885,957

　　How many people have already started to count the number? Nearly 12 million! With the three single volumes released this year, One Piece has defended its status as the king of boys' comics in this era.

One Piece: Happy! It's No.1 again this year~

Second place: Attack on Titan Sales: 11,728,368

The love-hate relationship between Attack on Titan and One Piece has also become a major highlight of this year's ORICON list. In the comic sales list released by ORICON in the first half of the year, Attack on Titan once won over One Piece with an absolute advantage, which made many readers wonder whether Attack on Titan could shake the championship throne of One Piece, which has been in office for many years. But the result still disappointed the fans of Titans. Attack on Titan was the runner-up with a slight gap of more than 157,000 copies, while it surpassed the third-placed Haikyuu!! by nearly 3.5 million copies!

"Attack on Titan": I don't accept it! See you next year!

Third place: Haikyuu!! Sales: 8,283,709

Although there is no fighting and no dark setting, "Haikyuu!!", which won the third place, proved that in this era, people can still win their own market with simple dreams and courage.

Fourth place: Tokyo Ghoul Sales: 6,946,203

Tokyo Ghoul has become the most talked-about show of the year thanks to its animation this year. The second part of the manga has already begun, and the second season of the animation is about to be released. I believe this work will continue to maintain this super high popularity in the next year.

No. 5 Kuroko's Basketball Sales: 6,729,439

When you see which work is ranked sixth, I believe you will be amazed at the strong purchasing power of the fujoshi community!

6. Naruto Sales: 5,505,179

After 16 years of serialization, "Naruto" has become the most discussed topic among comic fans around the world in 2014. According to Mr. Masashi Kishimoto, will the story of Naruto's children that he is going to create next continue the touching stories that "Naruto" brought us?

No. 7 Diamond Ace Sales: 4,681,031

This work, which began serialization in 2006 and was animated in 2013, shows that the charm of baseball as Japan's national sport will never fade.

8. Magi: The Magic Flute Sales: 4,657,971

Finally, we can see Shogakukan's work! I'm sure many people are looking forward to how Aladdin's adventure will unfold in the new year!

No. 9: The Seven Deadly Sins Sales: 4,633,246

Once a comic is adapted into an anime, its sales will generally increase exponentially. Can the 11th episode of "The Seven Deadly Sins" maintain its momentum after the anime ends?

10th place: Assassination Classroom Sales: 4,622,108

Both the animated and live-action versions will be released in 2015. I believe that Koro-sensei's popularity will reach a new level.

11th to 20th

11th place: "Hokatsu no Kyouteki" Sales: 4,385,701

12th place: "Martian Alien" Sales: 4,295,257

No. 13 "Journey of Youth" Sales: 4,166,875

14th place: "Yowamushi Pedal" Sales: 4,098,510

No. 15: Silver Spoon Sales: 3,957,991

No. 16: Nisekoi Sales: 3,816,372

17th place: Fairy Tail Sales: 3,275,885

18th place: Death Sales: 2,986,968

19th place: Food Wars! Sales: 2,644,122

20th place: Yo-kai Watch Sales: 2,588,791

As the saying goes, it is good to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade. Looking at the top 20 on the list, works in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine still occupy half of the list, and it lives up to its status as the king of Japanese boys' comics magazines. The popularity of Bleach, which was once one of the three pillars of Weekly Shonen Jump, is not as good as before, and has dropped to the 18th place now, but the author Kubo Tite is still playing with his own poetry in the comics. Bloody and dark works seem to be particularly popular in the past two years. I wonder if the animated version of "The Species of Mars" can take advantage of this trend and climb to the top on the basis of the 12th place this year? Among the comics that exude a masculine atmosphere, the performance of the girls' comic "Age of Youth" can also be said to be quite eye-catching, becoming the king of the girls' comics after "I Want to Tell You". Another comic worth noting is "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma", which has also announced an animated version. Will this work that can satisfy readers' appetites and eyeballs explode in popularity in 2015?

"Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma": Please look forward to our performance next year!
