| wan pisu <3 |
 |
| wow, KuroBas is doing really great. Glad to see Shingeki no Kyoujin up there. |
  |
| I'm glad to see so many quality manga series doing well! I'm particularly happy to see so many of my favorite comedies, like Gintama, Sket Dance, Silver Spoon, etc. on the list. It's interesting that One Piece had four times the sales of any other series--it's popularity never ceases to amaze me. I'm looking forward to another good year! :) |
 |
| I hope we get an Ao Haru Ride anime adaptation soon, the manga sales will definitely skyrocket because of it. Considering the Top 100 are consists of mostly mangas with anime adaptations |
 |
| No big surprises here. |
Wecc said: All Hail HaXXspetten King of the Loli Traps! |
| Not a single manga on my list made this one. I am definitely NOT the average manga reader it seems, and I buy all mine in Japanese! |
| Wooooow, KuroBas did amazing. Season two announcement please. Chihayafuru is also decently high; never expected it to sell this well. It definitely deserves the popularity. |
| Somehow I'm surprised that Thermae Romae is popular in Japan... |
★  |
| im a little disappointed, one piece could of sold a few more (643384) and it would of sold the same as the rest of the top 5 combined ohwell |
 |
| Over 23 millions, One Piece never disappoint us. Magi was surprise there, sitting on 9th, beating Bleach there. |
 |
| I'm a little disapointed since Rosario + Vampire not on list. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| I didn't know that KuroBas got such a massive boost from the anime One Piece is amazing as always A bit surprised seeing Uchuu Kyoudai and Magi in the top 10 Really nice rankings |
| is Kuroko no Basket better than Slam Dunk? it beaten Naruto? Nani??? IMPOSSIBRU!!! |
| The list surprised me a little but I'm glad most of my loved mangas are in there! One Piece is still flying high as always. I really have to read it now, I can't put in on hold forever and I expected Fairy Tail to be a bit higher than this. |
| —Actually, nevermind. |
| One Piece <3 KnB beat Naruto? :O |
| Happy to see Magi on the Top 10. Sad that it's getting an shitty adaptation. |
| Kuroko is in 2nd?! Heck yes!!!! Please let this mean a possible next season!!! *clenches fist tightly and stares at the sky with determination* Seirin shalt beith victorious!!! Well, not like I'm not reading the manga, but I was really enjoying the anime as well. Oh, Natsume is a bit of a suprise to find on this list. That's awesome though^-^. I didn't think it was that popular. Yay for Midorikawa-sensei! Yeah, I can be happy with this. |
| Good job Kuroko no Basket. I'm happy to see Chihayafuru and Giant Killing made it on the list, too. |

| After many many decades of manga, the Japanese truly do have the best tastes and know what it means to be a masterpiece of a series. One Piece, the greatest manga series of all time. |
itsvero said: Wooooow, KuroBas did amazing. Season two announcement please. Chihayafuru is also decently high; never expected it to sell this well. It definitely deserves the popularity. This is why it has a second season of anime coming. Their goal was increased manga sales and they shot up, especially first week sales. Volume 18 dropped back, but it was well after the series ended. I am eager to see what happens to the sales next year with the 2nd season. |
Now blogging at TheZenOf Mysterious Girlfriend X Anime Fan Club - It's about more than drool! Tari Tari Fan Club - Hyouka Fan Club - Chitanda Eru Fans Club~ |
| One Piece dominating as always. Good to see Kuroko at 2nd place. Well deserved. |
| I can't believe Kurobas beaten Naruto. I love Kurobas but... This was surprising xD~ Sad to see Gintama out of Top 10 ;-; |
| . |
| Yeah, that proves it again - The top manga sellers are almost exclusively stuff I can enjoy, which makes it different from the top-selling anime. Seriously, from the top 19 I've seen all animes that were made, read some and the rest is on my plan to read, and with the exception of Bleach they're all stuff I really like too. Anyway, I particularly enjoy seeing Uchuu Kyoudai, Magi and Chihayafuru. And I didn't know Toriko was so far behind Naruto. It does better in the ratings, but I guess the manga is not as popular yet? |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

Do pop-up headlights really endanger pedestrians that much? |
| Good thing Bleach isn't in the top ten. |
hpulley said: The manga industry and range of titles is vast.. None of my most favorite manga (perhaps except Kimi ni Todoke) is in the list either, and I am happy that I buy those less popular manga to support diversity and depth of the manga market ;-)Not a single manga on my list made this one. I am definitely NOT the average manga reader it seems, and I buy all mine in Japanese! |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

I am definitely NOT the average manga reader it seems, and I buy all mine in Japanese! I buy them to read them and to support them. I am just glad that the industry understands that not all titles can have the same market success as One Piece. It is great that things don't get cancelled just because they lack mass appeal. I buy and read what I like. I read some of the ones on the list in monthly magazines from time to time but don't love them enough to buy all the tankobons too. |
hpulley said: This is why I always have doubt with the Shonen Jump way. That "extend it no matter what when it sells; but cut it even prematurely if it looks not popular" has ruined so many manga for me, including the very popular Dragonball and City Hunter, which are extended far far far beyond the point of being fun or appealing.It is great that things don't get cancelled just because they lack mass appeal. |

roflshanks said: does this mean naruto and bleach are not in the top 3 anymore? Bleach wasn't last year either. And Naruto is 3rd by total sales and has the top 2 non-one piece individual volumes, so how that is "not in the top 3" I don't know? I wonder how far off vol 10 of Saki was. Probably hit about 340k or so. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
What the Hell is it!? I can't believe it! |
 |
| I don't know if I should feel great for KuroBas or bad for Naruto :D |
monkeii said: Well, this has been talked about quite many times in Japan. The standard practice in Japan is 10% of the revenue of manga sales goes to the author, so you can expect 34 Yen (10% of the listed price 340 yen) per book sold goes to the author. In 2010, One Piece sold 32.3 million copies which means 1.35 billion yen for the author. If he gets even 10 yen per book sold, then how much did he make!! This is not it !!! The author is paid an amount for the serialization (the one I just mentioned above is for the tankobon, not the manga magazine serialization). For that, it is estimated to be 50k yen per page for One Piece. Each week we have on average 20 pages of One Piece and it appears 48 times on Shonen Jump in 2010. This comes to 48 million Yen for the author. And this is still not it !! The author got paid for the use of his work in anime TV series and movie. It is estimated to be 300k Yen per episode and 1 million yen for a movie. In 2010 there were 50 episodes of One Piece and one movie. This comes to 16 million Yen. Still not yet !!! The author got a share for One piece merchandise and advertisement deals. One estimate put it at 1.5 billion Yen. Add all the four sources of income, and you get 3.12 billion yen (38 million USD) the author made in 2010 !!!! |

 Join the MSP Club for an in-depth look at score progressions and other stats of currently airing anime |
| I remember that last year Kimi ni todoke wss on second on the list. |
| Good to see Chihayafuru :D and Ao Haru Ride too. Although the latter volumes has been getting weaker and weaker. |
 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ |
| Not surprise for One Piece. Yeah Chihayafuru & Beelzebub<3 |
 |
| I know One Piece will do well but I'm glad to see Magi on the list. It's one of my favourite on-going manga. There are many strong manga series ( Vagabond ) which didn't chart because it's not a weekly released manga. |
