NEWS: One Piece Manga Volume 63 Sells 2.1 Million in 4 Days

Doesn't Oda ever get tired of breaking records?

most of fans kids and girls just like twilight

As syrianmj mentioned (with additional pointless OP bashing however) Oricon has only been counting the manga sales for a few years (sometime around 2007 or 2008 maybe ?). Obviously, those records are still impressive but one must remember that fact when reading this article.

At least you where able to understand what Syrianmi posted. I understood Dragonball and maybe Slam Dunk, but the rest is just gibberish.
And the record is still impressive, but one wishes Oricon had been collecting the numbers beforehand so we could compare.

That's a inaccurate statement. Most One Piece manga readers, about 88%, are actually adults. The majority are between 19-29. Anyway, you must feel a bit silly. lol

Be careful not to confuse buyers and readers.

Most people who buy it probably read it too. In Japan it is probably that the teenagers read the Magazines like WSJ and the people over 18 buy the Volumes.
However it is not argueable that a LOT of Adults are reading it. There are seen in Trains etc.
Do you know where the statistic from the provided links comes from? It was a documentation about OP from NHK where they answer the question of why whole Japan does read OP

That's a possibility, and a strong one at that. However, with the circulation of the volumes, the buyers and the readers aren't necessarily the same people. How are the readers represented in terms of percentage ? We have no way to know. All I'm saying is not to extend the results of a poll about the buyers to the readers because that makes the demonstration false.
