Charts giant Oricon rank for best selling manga of 2014, with the top spot once again being seized by renowned piracy series One Piece for the 6th year in a row, though with Shingeki no Kyojin hastily cutting the distance in comparison to last year – perhaps to catch up one day soon, not least with Naruto down and out.

All I care about is Mikasa’s delicious ass
why is conan ranked higher than noragami?
Jesus christ I didn’t know haikyuu was that popular, or ace of diamond.
It’s funny and great how much more manga sells than anime in japan. Manga > anime.
I’m surprised that Naruto and Fairy tail got pushed down in sales ranking that much by new series.
Funny… I haven’t seen too many of the anime adaptations of these manga but all the adaptations that were any good were ranked in the 20s (Kimi ni Todoke, Noragami, Chihayafuru). I wonder if there’s something about big-selling books that interferes with anime quality.
I think there is… that the objective changes from making a good show to catering to a demographic, but I haven’t thought too much about it.
