Whilst the dominance of Naruto is no where near the monopoly the title possesses over western markets, it is still a spectacularly strong showing which puts it amongst the greatest shonen heavyweights, perhaps deservedly so.
Those who despair in the unassailable hegemony Naruto enjoys over international manga markets can at least take solace in the fact that even in Japan his popularity is booming…

* FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP *
I'd hit that old granny.
Anything with huge tits deserves to be on top, by my terms ^_~
Kind of makes me wish Bleach had been in Naruto's place.
I don't even watch/read either one. but... BUT BOOBS *_*
Well humans like looking at things that aren't in their lives or in reality.
Well, I mean, ninjas are hard to dislike. Even if they're wearing orange.
its so nice, the most-loved manga Naruto is not better than One Piece in any way, but if you surf the net, you are alway confronted with that shitty orange ninja.
only beacuse it´s more booming right now, it doesnt mean that it´s actually better.
that´s what we alle know, and that´s why I dont complain about it.
because I know, that there are so many people out there, who are dumb, or just dont know anything else, which is raising Narutos score dramatically.
its so good to know, that there are hundreds of better Mangas/Animes than naruto.
but I think, sankaku complex is more "in depth otaku" then some shitty anime-site, so we all know that.
peace,
spiral ^^
retards covered 90% of the world's population
this is somewhat natural
Why do everyone think that ninjas used black suits or something... Study more idiots
Kinda funny that you're saying that, seeing how the black suit thing is something invented for the movies.
They blended in, by appearing like ordinary folks. The gardener working in the garden, the cook in the kitchen etc.
A quick thrust and twist of a knife or the usage of poison as opposed to fancy swordplay.
study what? about ninjas?? *sigh...
Its more like: All manga in every country=Naruto.
THE NARUTO SALES ARE OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!
BELIEVE IT~!
Hey Art, take this crap down! If Naruto sales are worst than the last volume's, One Piece still sells more at a quicker pace and sells the most overall doesn't this make this article completel bullshit? Or are you a narutard? This is actually an illogical argument with enough evidence of One Piece selling more than Naruto so your claims are false.
I don't understand how your mind works but this crap is wrong so take it down. Japan is for One Piece and Dragonball. America is Narutard land but that's an unfortunate truth. The American perspective towards manga and anime makes their expectations and judgment towards One Piece weird and distorted, they don't even try to read it.
Uhm.. This is HIS site, he can put up what he damned well pleases.
You don't call the shots, he does.
His house, his rules, his articles. You don't like it, then either skip it or you know where the door is.
Well if he wants people to take him seriously he needs to take the DAMN lies off it. Can't help but think this guy might have some sort of problem in his head if he can't do basic math or use simple logic.
And calm the crap down, you're not fighting for some mystical cause, hero.
Why you rage so much?
If someone reads the article COMPLETELY, he/she will notice that One Piece sells more than Naruto by himself/herself.
If another person just rush to the comments to say: "First!" or "LOL NARUTO IS THE BEST MANGA OF ALL TIMEZZZZZ" then probably his/her objective is to troll or simply they don't know how to read.
So why don't you enjoy One Piece as much as other people do and let the fanboys/fangirls of Naruto be happy with the title of the article?
Personally I find both titles pretty entertaining, so I don't mind who's first or second.
Oh, and BTW, there are better ways to ask someone to correct their mistakes, I find that all this "take the article down" is a little too extreme IMHO.
Peace.
the website is his house? O_o
Dude, Onemanga is an ENGLISH site, and English is not The World's Language... I mean, it could be an standard (I'm Mexican) but look at the charts from other sites, Naruto is a really awesome manga, but One Piece rulz over Italy, France, and Spain (And of course, Japan), and if it is so fucked up in the US, it's just 'cause those shitty 4kidz censored it.
Just as an example, to read ANY manga, I recomend my spanish-speaking friends to read it in OneManga... I've got the same response from every one of them: "Neh! Está en Inglés! No le entiendo..." ("Neh, It's in English, I don't understand it...")
Conclussion: OneManga rules over ENGLISH people. Most of ENGLISH people are from the US (Where Naruto rules).
Use your brain dude, don't think that an English ".com" site will give you the answers of "The World" -Felt like Dio Brando, lolz-.
So sad, so true. I'm reading from onemanga aswell, and i'm from italy. everytime i find something cool, i link it to my friends, but since it's in english, very few of them read it.
ZA WAAARUUDOOOO!!!!!!
"soshite toki wa ugokidasu."
Gintama is still awesome =D
2nd
third
and fourth
I don't like the anime - the manga is decent - but people complaining about the clothe's colors... They're magic ninjas, they don't use that much stealth actually, when they need they use genjutsu and other tricks. They were never supposed to be like real life ninjas. You people miss the point entirely.
I'm sure that the current sales on the Naruto Manga are because the EMOtive saga that's currently on the jump...xD and equal... the sales are lowing...
wait for One piece 54 and compare then...xD it will break records... I'm sure of it...
I am so happy for Ouran! It deserves to be up there.
I don't mind the success, I just hate spoilers.
Hmm it seems there are more kids in Japan than we realised....
top selling mangas in japan in 2008:
one piece
nana
nodame cantabile
fullmetal alchemist
naruto
hunter x hunter
bleach
See I no longer understand this shit....I thought the anime with the hottest girls is the most popular....but besides Tsunade, Anko, and Kurernai.....where are the hotties. The action isn't even that cool.
is it just me but if u look at the total sales its not that big compared to some other ones look at op 53 sold like 1.7 mil total
MOE GOOD, SHONEN BAD!
Oh sry, just wanted to fit in with all the cool kids here
wait...how did Yugioh GX get in that chart??
Believe it. Naruto manga and anime suck.
booo!
FHAP FHAP FHAP FHAP FHAP FHAP !!
"...manga sales charts for the first weeks of May show a spectacular showing from the orange ninja in Japan, with his compiled adventures crushing all boners…"
*fixed(?)
Ouran = ghey
people who spell ghey = gay.
I wish there wasn't a leash in that picture :(
But obviously I saved it anyways.
Come on Claymore, show your SJ superiority and crush that fucking ninja. YOU'RE SO CLOSE CLARE, DAMMIT
JUST LET IT DIE YOU NARUTARD FUCKHEADS!
Ok, he's a blond headed loudmouth ninja who clearly has down syndrome, and to top it off he wears bright orange. Seriously... Just let it die.
see, he's street cone orange because people instinctively avoid street cones. it's like that episode of szs, he's stealthy because he's absurdly obvious
Narutards are everywhere. D:
"Believe it!!!"......., meh.
Kinda surprised Kojikan and Bamboo Blade (possibly the most underrated franchise ever existed in AMG history) aren't there..
Well, I saw the Kojikan animu, and some episode of Bamboo Blade, they was just massive fanservices, nothing remarkable at all. The manga of Kojikan was actually good, but I don't think it's underrated. Not everyone are lolicons, like us... :P
When i said "underrated", I'm actually only referring about Bamboo Blade.. and speaking of fanservice, Bamboo Blade is possibly the most modest series despite featuring a lot of cute girls. Too modest that it makes you think Lucky Star is a hentai show.
Do you know where i can find a "in the past x years" sales chart ?
America is more of the action junkie country - so its only right that naruto be on top and share the same fame dbz enjoyed in America. so when things like k-on go to america its like (k-on wtf gtfo girly shit)
more like k-on = mindless moe shit. The manga is 100% useless. I mean, it's doesn't have a plot and isn't even funny. The anime is marginally better becuase it's actually got some music in there, but it isn't better by much. *yes, i have watched k-on. About 4 episodes.
Hmm... I wonder how well Bakuman sells when it releases...
Considering both the author and the artist were the creators of Death Note, I'd expect it to sell quite well. I think it'll be animated too, but not for a while.
