I initially struggled to outline what "sexually explicit manga" exactly means, but I ultimately went with "any manga where a sizeable portion of its content consists of considerably perverted or sexual acts, subjects, imagery, etc."

The content does not have to be titillating, meaning something like Berserk counts too, which obviously is not meant to arouse you (unless you have questionable fetishes).

Of course, this list will NOT include straight up hentai. Erotica or borderline hentai is okay, though I will mostly try to avoid them.

Number of sales and date that number was acquired from in notes for each. Some of them I have personally estimated a higher figure than the date says.

No. 147 would be the Himitsu Series of books. It's for children and I can't find it on MAL. It has 116 volumes and started in 1972, and has sold 23 million (June 10th, 2018).

No. 11 is Senri no Michi mo by Ippo Ohara & Satoshi Watanabe, which started in 1989 and ended in 2022 with 134 volumes & 501 chapters in Weekly Golf Digest.

No. 23 is Hakuryuu, which started in 1996. I have put Hakuryuu Legend instead because I could not find an earlier version.

No. 26 is Kowashiya Gen by Hoshino Hideki & Sadayoshi Ishii, which started in 2003 and is onging with 106 volumes & 1028 chapters in Weekly Manga Times.

No. 37 is Kabachitare! by Takashi Tajima & Takahiro Kochi, which started in 1999 and is ongoing with 93 volumes & 974 chapters in Weekly Morning Kodansha.

No. 46 is Impact by Nobuhiro Sakata & Ryouji Ryuuzaki, which started in 2002 and ended in 2019 with 85 volumes & 851 chapters in Par Golf.

Manga dealing with the lives of married couples and individuals, or those in a domestic partnership.

These manga have serious discussion of sexual relationships and sexuality. Not just shameless smut!
