So the evidence is in, and the conclusion is final:
Pirates beat Ninjas.
By more than five to one, apparently.
One piece will always be the one in my heart.
Fairy Tail coming up! Wizards> Pirates!
FT doesn't even have a solid story line, it's been mini arcs after another and a ton of lousy fan service + chibified midgets
Wait... you are reading/watching Fairy Tail for the story?
I'm pretty sure Natsu doesn't want to find the dragon that is his 'dad' to kill him. Same with the other dragon slayers. It's true though, FT is full of mini-arcs and fan-service.
well i wouldnt say there isnt a main story line for fairy tail like i mean its abt natsu being a dragon slayer and dragons going missing on the same day year and month. so heres a thought that the dragon slayers haf to go find the dragons and kill them i dunno just a thought.
First they have to beat Exorcists XD
And if we're talking about Wizards/Mages. For me the:
40. Mahou Sensei Negima! [1,103,573]
was a nice information (though I hoped it would be higher)
Don't forget that Negima is going out only once a month, so it's popularity is way lower... It's not always that way though.
Umm... I could be wrong, but isn't Negima a weekly series? Sometimes Akamatsu takes 3 weeks off, but it should still come out weekly. It IS puplished in a weekly magazine after all.
Not really - One Piece has more sales then the other top EIGHT competitors.
Pirates > Wizards + Ninjas + Exorcists + Food + Mangakas + Samurai
And toriko is also coming up really fast, with a lot less chapters.
So, Food > wizards.
FT = OP for perverts
Prime example of person who think FT is actually good. Nakama power ups FTW /s
FT has a horrible story but it's still good. Kind of like Gintama, although for different reasons.
bestseller ranking, the only ranking that makes sense
┐(=_=)┌
Don't worry, someone will jump with the "This list is crap" sign.
i am still looking for the sign.
you;re all crap
This anon is crap
This list is crap
Wow, what a difference from 1st to 2nd.
One Piece really is awesome.
37,996,373 X 410 YEN = 15,578,512,930 YEN ≒ 200,230,000 USD
WTF
If Ishithara ban all manga & anime, then Japanese economy will get in chaos for sure
Tbh, 2*10^8 is actually almost insignificant to an economy as large as Japan's.
OMG is this correct WTF!?
And the PM wants to Bann ANIME!!!
Sadly the guy that makes the damn thing wouldn't even see 5% of that revenue, it would all be going to magazine it's published in and their investors.
whats the japan's primary source then? schoolgirls pantsu?
that is why he should go eat shit like his name suggest
nice move of trying to eliminate japan alternative source of income
hell, i even hope one day it will be the primary source of income
Not PM, but ISHIThara the one who wants to ban Anime
this is incorrect, according to today's exchange rate 37,996,373 YEN = 488,454.95 USD So .5 million USDs is quite understandable for a manga in one year
Actually, you are incorrect. Your post assumes that a tankoban sells for 1 yen.
488,454 USD x 410 = still >200 million USD
If in doubt, use google anon.
Typing in "38000000YEN to USD" will convert it for you without having to do complicated mathematical tasks like multiplication.
best selling doesnt always mean best quality
True, but for a series to reach 600+ chapters and still be so interesting, I would probably agree with it's 1st place ranking.
Though the difference between 1st and 2nd is still pretty surprising.
I beg to differ. I think the series got MORE interesting as it went on. However the reasons manga reading sites have Naruto listed as #1 is because Naruto is more popular over here in the States than One Piece. In my opinon, One Piece's story/characters are a lot better written than Naruto's
so u r saying.. the ninja readers pirates more than the pirates reader :O?
I can't help but agree. If you checked multiple manga reading sites, Naruto is usually #1 and One Piece is usually in 5th or above.
Popularity does not mean quality.
Twilight. Enough said.
What's surprising about it is the fact that One Piece wasn't interesting in the beginning and only got less interesting as it continued.
Yeah, its good quality is coincidental.
In this case it's the freakin quantity that's driving things. And the length of time.
That argument might hold water if the other comics aren't also far into the double digits. Naruto's total volumes are 5/6 One Piece's. It's selling at 1/7.
If I was to start reading One Piece today, and if I liked it, I'd probably buy the rest of the volumes.
One person, 64 sales.
This isn't that hard to understand...
no idiot. this is the total sale from nov 2010 to Nov 2011. so it's valid to compare.
@Notto Disu Shitto Agen
Lets not forget the buy 1 for collection, 1 for loaning out and 1 for general reading. >.o
probably 1 person bought 35 millions
Really surprised to see Bleach so low.
I'm surprised it's so high... :P
I'll have to agree with Anon 17:11. It's been a few years since the last time Bleach was good.
Over half of the Bleach fanbase gave up on it midway through the Hueco Mundo arc.
At first when I started watching it Soul Society Arc had just ended and I kept watching the 1st filler arc 'n' it was still cool, but den I read the manga and was like "come on cut this filler crap and get on with the awesome Arrancars already!!"
But den the Hueco Mundo Arc finished and I was like "GOD, WHY AM I STILL READING THIS CRAP FOR 3 FUCKING YEARS..."
And then, I guess, I stopped reading...
oneshitpiece sucks..
You're shit
Are you mortified that One Piece is so popular? Ooooh how I hope you are!!! :)))
