Milestones reached:

700k (Blue Exorcist 2011 average anime boost per volume)


Upcoming milestone - 10m copies sold in 2013. This will most likely be reached in August and not just because it's been selling more than 300k copies per week, but because its volume 11 goes on sale in early-August.

Possible milestone - With 17 weeks left (and 10 more episodes), it's possible for its volumes 1-7 to sell one million copies in 2013.

August 1, 2013 - preparing.

Archiving factoids and numbers related to manga publishing here.

How much if the profit margin on manga volumes for Japanese booksellers?

Quote:
the Japanese bookseller is only getting a 30% discount (off the retail price of the book)

How much is the profit margin on manga volumes for Japanese publishers?

Quote:
each compiled book of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga costs buyers 420 yen (US$4.70), but once author's fees, printing costs, and paper costs are subtracted, publishers are left with 150 yen (US$1.70) per book

animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-10-09/producer/no-square-enix-anime-lost-money-in-8-years

Note: 150 of 420 is about 35%


How much is the mangaka's royalties?

Quote:
Royalty of Tankobon: approx. 50 yen per copy (8 -10% of one copy of Tankobon priced 500 - 600 yen)

http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=77202


Approximate Breakdown:
30% - retailer profit
30% - publisher profit
30% - paper & print costs - this probably goes down as the numbers get bigger
10% - mangaka royalties
