looks like Shueisha is #1 in term of manga.

I'm a gigantic One Piece nerd and I'm still shocked a comic about cartoon pirate superheros has almost twice the prints as it's closest competitor.

Titans 13 is 2.75m, an increase of .5m from Titans 12, despite that there was no more new anime running from December to April.

It makes me curious if Titans 14 or 15 will get up to 3m.

-

Checked March ranking, and all Titans volumes still in the top 100. Top 84. So in March, they were all still averaging at least 10k copies per week.

When was the last time D.Gray-man had a new chapter? Two years ago? These printing numbers basically mean Hoshino can do what she wants and even if she never finishes it, they'll most likely never cancel it, right?

I'm pleasantly surprised that a manga about a farming school is in the top 3 against a rubber pirate, and cannibalistic giants. Laughing

More like Top 4, since a manga about an enthusiastic ninja sold more copies that the farming school manga. Still, I think this tells a lot about how good Arakawa's manga is. Who needs numerous fight scenes when you have a hilarious yet realistic slice-of-life story to tell?

Printing numbers go down if sales are really slow.

Interestingly enough, Magi and its spinoff: Adventure of Sinbad are together ranked top 5 in Shogakukan respectively.

I think France is something like the second largest manga market. Many manga also make it to Taiwan as well.

I'm shocked that Silver Spoon and Space Brothers haven't been picked up for English release they may never be at this point but i'm not that surprised cause it isn't about fighting ... Already collection Space Bro's manga in French. heard at least the anime would be picked up by Sentai but has been a while nothing about it while they are actually released Flowers of Evil anime go figure.
