Haikyuu and Tokyo Ghoul's ranks are just amazing. Tokyo Ghoul was at 26 last year and now it's 4th. Can't wait to see how Shokugeki no Souma and Assassination Classroom + TG, Haikyuu, KnB will rank next year.

One Piece and Shingeki no Kyojin are not surpirising, but there are other series that I wonder about both their appearance in the list, and other that are not on the list. Ao Haru Ride and Terra Formars being placed as high as they did, while the lack of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso is odd (since, as I understood it, it sold quite nicely overall year-round, with the release of the anime raising the numbers even more)

Well..well..well. What we have got there?
A close enough battle between One Piece and Attack on Titan, Haikyuu!! and Tokyo Ghoul came out of nowhere ranking top 5, A strong selling for sports manga, a nice boosting numbers of manga thanks to anime, Assassination Classroom performed despite its anime adaption not started yet ( and who knows how high it will get when it airs), no Hunter x Hunter in the list for the obvious reason and too bad for Bleach thought it barely keeps up. It was really interesting best selling manga list. |

Damn 10 million sales down on 2013 between One Piece and AoT alone yet year on year sales are up in the top 30 by between 6-7 million.
And the normal 1 year only rises for manga with new anime out that will drop back to irrelevancy next year. Naruto flat year on year (down less than 50,000 units). It's going to sad seeing Naruto at the bottom of the list next year (unless it gets an end of series boost). Also I was right Fairy Tail is down again even with the new anime HA!. Toriko is off the list! so much for that being Bleach's replacement (don't read it myself but has there been any hiatus's? that would be a reason rather than falling popularity). I guess shounen battle manga really are out of vogue in Japan. |

Hoozuki no Reitetsu being just outside the top 10 might surprise people who weren't fond of the anime (and its recently released OVA).
Assassination Classroom has been noted for its unusual popularity despite the relative lack of adaptation in other media, but with the anime coming out in the next quarter I'd expect it to push for the top 10 positions. |

Hopefully if the series does well in France they may consider it.... Much like you I would also be surprised if it recieved an Eglish release. I would love for it to do so and show that sports manga have a market here in the west. |

I'm not into One Piece, so I don't care if it gets dethroned, but I'd rather that dethroning not be done by Attack on Titan of all things.
That being said, I'm glad Noragami ranked. It got a really nice boost from the anime adaptation, so I'm hoping that despite the BD sales not being stellar, that might be enough to get it an S2. |

Yes, Toriko was pulled off air due to weak ratings. I'm not certain what replaced it, though I think it might have been Dragon Ball Z Kai. |

I am glad to see that Tokyo Ghoul is 4th with around 7 million copies this year! it is really high for a seinen manga! I think Studio Pierrot found its new hit series after Naruto and Bleach. I can't wait for the 2nd season of anime

I'm not talking about the anime but about the manga. Toriko has been a top 30 since it's first full year even before the anime so it's absence here surprised me that's why I pointed it out. |

Toriko had like 4 weeks off out of the 48 issues of this publishing year, plus 2 in the previous publishing year. Not a significant factor; same number of volumes released. More relevant is the fact that a decline in sales can be seen from volume to volume this year. See here.

You would be right, if being in the Top 10 TV ratings most of the time accounted has weak ratings, but it doesn't! Some examples of ratings in the end of the anime(at the time of the filler ending) from far to closest to the end: - animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-01-01/japan-animation-tv-ranking-december-16-22 - animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-01-19/japan-animation-tv-ranking-december-30-january-5 - animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-01-19/japan-animation-tv-ranking-january-6-12 - animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-01-27/japan-animation-tv-ranking-january-13-19 - animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-02-02/japan-animation-tv-ranking-january-20-26 - animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-02-16/japan-animation-tv-ranking/february-3-9 - animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-02-23/japanese-anime-tv-ranking/february-10-16 - animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-03-02/japanese-anime-tv-ranking/february-17-23 - animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-04-03/japan-animation-tv-ranking/march-17-23 Oh, Can't you see?

One piece has slow arcs , this year was slow , that's why it's not selling a lot more than other mangas , but once they start another "marine-ford like" arc then the sells go to the clouds.
Naruto doesn't has it's last volume ranked , such a shame! it would be pretty higher if it did. Bleach is doing super well seeing that it doesn't has an anime , IF an anime would come out the sells would sky-rocket. Happy to see One punchman in here , if it keeps going like this it could get an anime in 1-2 years |

No, its really because the people that joined the hype in Marineford already bought all the volumes before so they sales are drowning because not that much people bye the early volumes since they already catched up. This arc ain't slow paced at all, its damn long but it ain't slow. It is really really a damn good arc but its damn long but its really not slow.
