Better to say, Shounen Manga. Where’s Vinland Saga and I am a Hero?
One Piece- A billion years in the making
Bleach- Totally epic with Reaper cream fillings and action packed fights
Tokyo Ghoul-The Ideal atmosphere for a fast food meal. Touka-Chan is best with Pizza.
Naruto- Got to the final chapter. Ninja wars and stuff.
Fairy Tail-Magic beyond Harry Potter animated.
Shingeki no Kyojin- Straight violation of Giant’s rights and murder of their species.
Prison School- Abuse. Gore. Abuse of man’s existence. More gore and abuse. And a crazy lewd chick who wants to see a prisoner pee.Psychopathic mode active in manga and anime.
_Sounds legit.
want to see Jitsu wa Watashi wa Manga in this list. I don’t know how many times I nearly died from lung implosion just because of the countless genius comedy found in the manga.
Is this japan only sales? And those otaku buy like ten copies so we gotta divide it by ten of course…
But fucking one piece tho…
Is Japan small? Definitely not. Most of these titles is Shounen which cater to audiences like older kids to teenagers. If we assume they are plenty of rich kids, the figures would still sound ridiculous because this is about Tankoubon (hard copy) sales and not their relevant magazines sales.
Bleach is on the list? Kubo must’ve bought those or some 10 year old begged his parents to.
