The sales rankings for the first weeks of this June have become available, and as always prove interesting to examine, giving us a good look into what series are currently dominating.
These numbers (as always) are release via Oricon, the body which compiles almost all such rankings in Japan.
Notes
- Sales of Manga for the week of 6/1 – 6/7
- The “Total” column under Anime represents total sales since release.

Neither list presents any true upsets, with the penultimate Clannad After Story DVD getting strong sales its first week, and ONE PIECE and Bleach flexing their dominance on top of the manga charts (Naruto is missing from the manga charts, as it did not receive a new release recently).
The DVD version of the new Evangelion 1.11 remaster performed especially well, surprising a few given that one would expect true fans to purchase the BD version instead, since improved visuals appear to be the main selling-point of the release.
Haruhi-chan’s performance might be striking for a release of a freely-broadcast Youtube anime, but much like the Evangelion release, both series carry more than enough weight over their target otaku audiences to easily explain their high sales.

NAGISAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa
Don't worry she was resurrected when Gok-Tomoya gathered the sev-eight Drago-light orbs and wished her back to life.
You mean Ushio.
Tomoya is the one who did all the hard work of finding the light orbs.
Not to mention he resurrected Fuuko-ninja.
I really really love Fuuko, she's my favorite character in Clannad, and I'm so happy she wakes up eventually <3
I'll never forget her arc in Clannad episode 9, truly beautiful story.
Omedetou Onee-chan.. itsumademo.. itsumademo shiawase ni.. zutto.. zutto shiawase ni..
You might want to not just write random spoilers if you respect the ability of others to enjoy the anime.
Indeed - I even went through the trouble of not accidentally mentioning spoilers in the article this time, too... ^^
Dammit. I read the spoilers ><.
Artefact, is possible to add some sort of spoilers tag?
Have to see Clannad because of this
You're gonna love it :3
Clannad is LIFE!!!!
can't wait for my Kyou chapter Ova!
+900
+8101
it's over nine thousaaand!
This.
i want more Tomoyooo
+9001
what to this mean?
That you got 9001 pluspoints.. if there was such a system in place.
Some sites allow you to mark a post as positive or negative. (Hiding the post from view if the negative value reaches some count). This one doesn't, so people post this symbolical +rating ;)
The nine thousands references you ought to know by now.
Actually it just means the person making the remark has spent too long on 4chan.
+9002
thx u all ^^
The only thing that really surprised me though not by much was the Haruhi-chan DVDs selling that well.
Gundam > Clannad
Wrong.
No you
another anon on blowing up stuff compared to having a good story..
Not gonna compare two animes from different genres. But Gundam definitely has a higher production value and re-watch value than Clannad. I guessing people are buying up the LE DVDs because of what comes with it.
rotfl.
one piece>gundam>(insert random anime)>clannad
Clannad>UC Gundam>One Piece>Non-UC Gundam
UC0096 Gundam Unicorn FTW
mhmmhmh, tasty loli.
No words to describe how much "Clannad" and "Clannad - After story" are wonderful...
Indeed. And who says MOE anime can't be Masterpieces?
Me.
no 1 watch air n kanon? :(
I was a little disappointed with the ending to Clannad after story, the whole "Everything that Happened never really happened" plot twist, is kinda annoying.
Am I the only one that thinks that?
Wow thanks for the spoiler, a** hole. How about putting up a little warning next time
***Spoiler alert***
Thats not a spoiler, saying that Nagisa dies along with Ushio, is a spoiler,
Oh by the way, Spoilers Alert.
And now I officially start treating SanCon comments like YouTube comments.
Protip: Youtube comment snob works with the filter: 0 or more spelling mistakes.
Do not fear, friends. That spoiler = fake.
Maybe you should have kept up faster, eh?
well, its to be expected. Key is all about fantasy and magic, and a mix between realism and fantasy is something kyoani and key have excelled at. Plus there are two possible endings: the ending at episode AS 18 and further on 23. You take your pick.
play the game ? everything is fine
The whole Nagisa's death and the aftermath DO happened, Tomoya still remembers those moments.
Pay more attention when watching animes.
I'm going to the bathroom...
Yay Clannad is D-DOMANATING
Woot One Piece.
one piece is awesome anyone who says otherwise gets a gigantic jet gatling to the face
omg bastard vol. 26
when did that come out
what are they making Ushio hold in her left hand!
Lol, expect penis filter...
Damn Kuro-SHIT-suji.....
Clannad is the greatest Anime of all time! This is expected.
Actually,I think the AIR is the best of three tragedies series..
Why do tears come out when i see this picture?
Must be the wind...
I wonder how July charts will be when the last volume of Clannad AS with the Kyou OVA is released :3
Oh, btw. I recieved my vol.7 of the Clannad box last week, and got a trash robot keychain that is about 5 cm high. Limited edition stuff = <3
"True fans"?
Always makes me laugh whenever someone uses this term.
Are they also not true fans unless they buy the LE releases of anything not related to the series? lol
WATCH CLANNAD NAO!
Maybe you`ll say i`m fail , but it influenced me in real life.
It changed my view IN life.
The complexity of the story, how tragic life is, how valuble life is, HOW we should cherish life with the person we hold dear.
It`s all compacted in this series CLANNAD.
People who has not watch it, it`s a crime and you should go jump off a bridge.
P.S I love Clonnad ROFL ROFL yes I said "CLONNAD" correctly.
Wenk???
I haven't watched clannad and nobody who's insane enough to actually force people to watch stuff when he/she has the comprehensive linguistic ability of a 3 year old.
I LOL'd to: "Naruto is missing from the manga charts, as it did not receive a new release recently" 'Cause One Piece 54 has been out since like 4-5 months ago.
Clannad is crap because it did reset buttons wrong. Only the Series 3 finale of Doctor Who got it correctly.
In that pic Nami is not sexy =_=
Well you know people wants Kyou, Tomoyo and Kotomi... Nagisa? Who the hell is that?
Mmmm... wtf! Fuko has the Genso Koroshi! She'll rip apart that Nagisa of yours!
D.Gray.man for the lulz XD
