Is this the first time ANN has created a complete list of top selling manga for the year or have there been other articles like this in the past?

Yahoo!
I'm happy about Naruto, Bleach, FMA and Hitman Reborn. I'm actually surprsed about Reborn, I didn't know it was popular. |

Number of One Piece copies sold:
14,721,241 Number of Naruto copies sold: 6,836,494 Number of Bleach copies sold: 6,471,021 Total number of copies sold for Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Mei-chan no Shitsuji, Fairy Tail, 20th Century Boys, and Saint Young Men combined: 14,927,572 That's scary. One Piece easily outsold Bleach and Naruto combined, and almost outsold the sixth through tenth Manga combined. I've been watching Bleach, but maybe I should be reading One Piece? |

That just means we can expect another 10 years of One Piece. Perhaps One Piece won't end until the author dies. I don't mind if it takes 10 years more, I just want an ending.

yes, there is a reason this series is so popular. It is actually really good 
One Piece is supposed to end in more or less 5 years according to Oda. |

Oda didn't say that. He said he planned the whole One Piece story to finish within 5 years when it started, but it obviously didn't work out that way. Some websites translated his sentence wrong.

In any case I guess I better start with the One Piece manga straight away there must be a reason it totally outranks all these other great manga

Awesome to see One Piece, FMA, Gintama, and 20th Century Boys on this list.
And yes, One Piece is just that awesome. |

One piece is the type of series that the further you read into the series, the more you come out impressed with Oda's storytelling ability and the stracture of his story, both are rare traits for Shonen Mangaka.
Most shonen mangaka either fell into endless loop like DB toward its ending; Story stracture gets too grand and cause the series to start crumple [Air Gear], or the series has lossed its original charm [Naruto]. Personally I consider Oda to be Rumiko Takahashi and Mitsuru Adachi on drugs, or even better, the combination of Naoki Urasawa and Akira Toriyama. There are many great "Shonen" mangaka that excells in certain area like Kazuhiro Fujita's Karakuri Circus [story], Hirohiko Araki's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure [stracture], or Jōji Morikawa's Hajime no Ippo[hot-blood]. But none of them are able to put everything together the way Oda did. Closest I've seen would be Yoshihiro Togashi with YuYu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter, but I personally think OP was better then both series. There's something there for everyone in OP. Not to mention you can actually see the improvement of his art as the series go by. The only other series I can remeber where the mangaka's art improve this much was Kōsuke Fujishima' Ah My Goddess. |

I thought Takehiko Inoue's Slam Dunk got a great improvement in art as the volumes went by. His current work in Vagabond really shows that I still need to read JoJo and I might check out Ippo, but the chapter count scares me on both series'.

The longerst continuing manga is Golgo 13 which has been going on since 1969, and Kochi Kame has the largest volume count with more than 150. |
