Where would a manga have to rank in sales to be considered as a "success"? At least in top 100? 150?

Well, these are only the specialty stores (aka Comicbook stores), so even if a manga isn't very high on this list it still could be a hit in bookstores (which now make up the majority of graphic novel and manga sales). As for what dictates a success, I have no idea. Diffrent companies have diffrent standards.
