CATDOLL: Japanese manga single volume sales ranking: "One Piece" is irresistible

The sales of Japanese manga can definitely be seen as a reflection of the popularity of manga. Generally, the sales of Japanese manga will be reprinted and sold due to the popularity, so the overall sales of manga are not the sales of the first edition. So what is the sales of the first edition of many popular manga? Recently, a netizen shared a ranking of the sales of the first edition of Japanese manga single volumes. Some of the manga on the list are still unexpected, which has also aroused everyone's discussion. Let's take a look at the list together.

One Piece 67: 4.05 million copies

Author: Eiichiro Oda

There is really no need to introduce "One Piece". Since its serialization in 1997, it has created many miracles, and the popularity and expectations have not diminished at all. The most anticipated thing about One Piece is always the next chapter. However, the first edition sales record and total sales record of the single volume are really hard to be broken by any other work.

"Attack on Titan 13" 2.75 million copies

Author: Isayama Hajime

Although this work can be ranked second, it is obviously far behind the first place "One Piece". "Attack on Titan" is a youth comic work created by Japanese cartoonist Isayama. The style of the whole work is dark. Friends who have read the comics should be able to feel the "unrestrained" style of Isayama. I wonder if this has any influence.

"Slam Dunk 21" 2.5 million copies

Author: Takehiko Inoue

Slam Dunk is an inspirational manga and animation work based on high school basketball by Japanese manga artist Takehiko Inoue. It is one of the three mainstay manga of Weekly Shonen Jump during the Platinum Era (the first half of the 1990s) and one of the best-selling manga in Japanese history. Many boys born in the 1980s and 1990s became fascinated with basketball after watching Slam Dunk, and Sakuragi Hanamichi's funny and nonsensical style was also imitated by some boys at the time.

"Chibi Maruko-chan 7" 2.388 million copies

Author: Cherry

"Chibi Maruko-chan" is one of the most well-known and influential anime works in the world. It has been ranked among the top three in Japanese animation ratings for more than 20 years. By 2013, it had exceeded 1,000 episodes and is still being broadcasted on Fuji TV every Sunday at 6 pm during prime time. It is a national animation in the hearts of Japanese men, women and children.

High School DxD 8: 2.367 million copies

Author: Ishita Ichiro

"High School DxD" is a light novel written by Japanese novelist Ishita Ichiei and illustrated by Miyama Rei. The story tells the story of Issei Hyoudou, a second-year high school student who has never had a girlfriend, and finally got his first girlfriend in his life! From this, a series of hilarious stories unfold.

In addition, there are many classic comics on the list:

NANA 14: 2.3 million copies

"Arale 6" 2.2 million copies

Dragon Ball 35: 2.2 million copies

"The Case Files of Young Kindaichi" 2.14 million copies

Detective Conan 17: 2 million copies

"Crayon Shin-chan 7" 1.9 million copies

Ronin 15: 1.834 million copies

Yu Yu Hakusho 15: 1.7 million copies

"Let's Go! Dazhong Ping Pong Team 9" 1.7 million copies

"Naruto 31" 1.62 million copies

"Kinnikuman 17" 1.6 million copies

Hunter x Hunter 13: 1.6 million copies

Fullmetal Alchemist 27: 1.52 million copies

Ranma 13: 1.5 million copies

H2 17: 1.5 million copies

It seems that the list is full of classic comics that everyone is familiar with. However, I never expected that High School DxD would have such good sales. It seems that the comics with benefits can still attract a lot of people. There must be a lot of people following these first editions of high-selling comics. What do you think when you see this list? Let's discuss it together.
