These are some great titles all around. While I haven't gotten into it yet, I've heard nothing but good things about Oshi no Ko. I'm glad to see so much love for the Sasaki & Miyano franchise too. Yen Press has become one of my favorite publishers so it's always cool to hear what's going well for them.

The first manga I read was Oshi no Ko when Volume 1 was released in America a year ago.

Glad to see So I'm a Spider, So What? in the top five. It's my favorite LN series.
Also, the article title is a bit inaccurate. Oshi no Ko #1 was specifically the most popular volume of the year. The most popular franchise was Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun, as the body of the article states. |

Rankings like these are especially up for debate when they don't include print run numbers, literally the equivalent of prose book sales, time rankings in marathons and other timed races, and are the most stable data in absolute terms because dollar sales are unreliable due to discounts. The direct sales market hasn't had a per-unit sale figure for American comics for quite some time and, honestly, it doesn't matter the print industry, print run data is an excellent marketing tool that publishers are missing out on. Heck, most industries report their profits in monetary terms and most often in unit sales, as a marketing and publicity tool (not to mention as a tool to attract investors), so I think Yen ought to report the hard numbers.
