The MHA numbers are really interesting to me, I wonder if this is the series with the highest ratio of foreign to domestic sales, 20 mil international to the 45 domestic.

That's interesting considering MHA is also still running. I'd like to see the overall series numbers for the Big Three--not sure if the anniversary additions should be included or have a separate category.

I honestly thought "Bleach" would have had over a million more in-print copies in the U.S.

Actually why is MHA being printed as single volumes for their older volumes still? So many series get 3 in 1 volumes for their older volumes yet for some reason MHA only does single volumes for rereleases. I wish I could get single volumes for series where I only managed to get some volumes when they originally came out but I'm now stuck getting omnibuses which double up some volumes I already have because the single volumes are out of print and the publishers have no intentions of reprinting solo volumes

Well, Bleach has been over for a while. I wonder if the anime re-airing will cause a sales boost.

Since Viz distributes their manga across the world including Canada, UK, and Australia, why do they specify United States? Is it actually higher if they’re not including outside the US?

Yeah when new anime comes out, manga sales will get yet another boost.

Bleach came out in a time where manga didn't sell as much and wasn't as mainstream as it is today.With the new anime that is finally adapting the rest of the story coming,I'm sure it will get a considerable boost.

Those Viz manga boxsets are great. Good value and looks nice on the shelf. Just wish I had more room for more of them!

Oh wow, I wasn't expecting these series to have this much of a difference in printed books. I grew up during the time of the big three so I guess I always kind of assume them to be the biggest, but I forget the mainstream attention manga and anime is getting nowadays. I always think it's awesome to see this kind of growth in the market, but at the same time, it reminds me of how many more people are hunting down rare OOP manga's now haha. Guess I just have to cross my fingers and how for the manga market to grow so much that those rare manga get reprints/rereleases.

I would really love to hear the number of copies that they print in a single run for some series. I mean some popular series are on their 5th printing run within a year. But I guess companies just want to boast their big success numbers and not give out all the information.

Glorious print numbers for Bleach that's to be expected now just several more months of waiting for the anime and dub to drop.
