Notes:

• One Piece staying as strong as ever, In fact it has improved over last year's Mid end sales which were at the time 3,110,049
• Both Promised Neverland and Kingdom have seen a nice healthy surge in popularity
• Gotoubun no Hanayame and Kaguya Sama Love is war have seen massive surges in popularity
• My Hero academia 4th place with a slight decline, with 1 more volume on the way it's likely only to reach third place at best, healthy decline not anything to be worried about.
• OPM returned to the Top 10 since 2017, could be kiciked out by year end
• Attack on Titan with a rather sharp decline but nothing to serious
• Slime continues to Improve as it's mid year sales close in on it's last year's full cycle performance.
• Seven Deadly Sins seems to have taken a massive nose dive
• This will be the 12th year in a row that One Piece is at number 1.

[Ionliosite]

I'm happy that my dear quintuplets are so high in this.

 

[The_Calaca]

I remember the time when people said SNK would take One Piece's spot.

 

[Milly_Rocking_Bandit]

Slime continues to rise.

 

[Ttenrr]

last year Oda only published 3 volumes that's the sales were down

 

[TacticalNuke002]

I am happy for Kaguya. THE best romance manga right now.

 

[Ionliosite]

Also, Nanatsu no Taizai deserved that decline in sales. The last arcs have been easily the worst, but I hope it at least won't get canceled like Bleach.

 

[Milly_Rocking_Bandit]

Can't disagree. Manga is absolutely trash now.

 

[ZackMoon1234]

It's crazy how One Piece is still reigning the #1 spot

Imagine the reactions when it gets usurped...

 

[Huesito88]

Huh I didn't think Kaguya would be doing that good.

 

[Js250476]

That begs the question will One Piece be surpassed during its runtime or after it finishes.

Was Bleach suppose to continue?

 

[Huesito88]

To be expected and it's number 5 =P

 

[TacticalNuke002]

Spy X Family will make the list in due time.

after it finishes

 

[Antvasima]

One Piece is brilliant, and uses its influence to inspire humanity to fight against tyranny, which is the most important message for any story to have. It well deserves the top spot.

 

[GojiBoyForever]

Glad to see 3 Manga I like in the Top Ten. Surprised One Punch isn't higher though with the Great Art and Storytelling tbh.

 

[Antvasima]

It is likely because it does not release chapters as often as the others (there are less volumes to sell).

 

[RotofBots]

Nice job, Shadow.

But yeah, NNT has become very subpar.

 

[Andytrenom]

I don't really keep up to date with newly released manga or I guess any media nowadays, and that explains why I only know two series among a popularity list like this

Well, all I can say is I'm happy to see MHA here

 

[Scumerage]

It is likely because it does not release chapters as often as the others (there are less volumes to sell).

Does this list only count volumes, or also online chapters? If so, OPM has free online chapters, so that might affect it as well (then again, it would be far less popular if chapters weren't free).

And good news on the volume sales, since Volume 20 was released in July, it's possible that Shueisha will keep a 3 month rate.

 

[Dragonmasterxyz]

>Kimetsu no Yaiba isn't on the list.

This breaks my heart.

 

[Milly_Rocking_Bandit]

Nor Dr. Stone or Fire Force.

 

[IMadeThisOn8-1-2017]

Seven Deadly Sins and Tokyo ghoul seem to have taken a massive nose dive,

Uhhhh because Tokyo Ghoul ended July 2018...

 

[Scumerage]

1. One Piece will always be on top. Just because it's based on loyalty, not hype. Whereas other series that come close inevitably can't maintain the hype for long enough to keep up.

2. Though Kingdom has been doing amazingly for a series with no anime for 5 years. If it ever got a better adaption, it might be able to surpass One Piece for a year.

4. A step down, but S4 will probably boost it temporarily back into the top 3.

6. Ah, the fallen titan. I can only imagine the horror of fans if Wit doesn't do S4.

10. Let's hope Volume 21 makes it by October! Might just hold OPM into the top 10 for the year!

 

[TacticalNuke002]

5 and 9 aren't shoujo.

Gotoubun is a harem with drama.

Kaguya-sama is a total seinen with comedy, romance and tons of psychological drama. And by psychological drama, I am NOT referring to their mindgames.

 

[Scumerage]

Agh, I really am ignorant, shouldn't have assumed just by the genre, keep forgetting demographic =/= genre. Thank you for correcting me.

 

[Huesito88]

Agreed

 

[Deleted member 2530]

I am quite surprised by how good Neverland, Kingdom and Slime are doing but rather disappointed with Attack on Titan and OPM. Also Gotoubun ans Kaguya are also doing great. Quintuplets has rather good art and characters. Kaguya doesn't have good art but rather good story and characters.

 

[Tincan123]

So i create The Promised Neverland Discussion Thread out of my respect and how well the series is doing do note i have a spoiler warning for those who arent update with the manga

 

[Shadowbokunohero]

generally manga sales skyrocket when they end, the last volume continues to sell well for a while,

Re: Magi,Naruto,Slam dunk,Assassination Classroom ect

 

[Andytrenom]

How prominent was Assassination Classroom in its time btw?

 

[RotofBots]

In 2014 it was #10

In 2015 it was #4

In 2016 (the year it ended) it was #2

 

[Shadowbokunohero]

Pretty big,

for reference it's ahead of One Punch mand was only recently beaten by MHA.

it sold consistently well until the end of it's run

 

[Andytrenom]

Damn no 2? Well that makes me happy since it is legit one of my favorite mangas, if not actually my favorite

 

[Shadowbokunohero]

it's also one of my personal fav and is one of the only Manga series where i own every Volume, Great read and knew when to end it's story oppose to dragging it out.

Re: Magi,Naruto,Slam dunk,Assassination Classroom ect

That's not true, a manga's final volume does have an increased sales, but the sales fall off after due to no more new volumes.

Naruto wasn't in the top 10 the next cycle after it had ended, nor was Magi and Assassination Classroom.

Slam Dunk has returned recently but that was due to the fact that it's volumes were rereleased.

1. yes But Im reffering to the timespan between the sales and the point it slows down, which generally takes around 2 manga cycles for high profile Ip's meaning if the volume came out December it's more than likely to to still be there the next year mid end cycle, manga cycle isnt a full year.

2. naruto Volume 72 was 7th in it's second Cycle.AC classroom was second, and my slam Dunk was in reference to it's Original run not re release.


EDIT: Tokyo ghoul's final volume was Physcally released in July so OOF on my part, I remembered it being released much later in the year, the volume itself, which explains why it was still in the Top 10 in it's second cycle.

in regards to that I concede, Tokyo ghoul didnt take a nose dive then, it's only sins.

 

[Epsilon_R]

Black Clover still doesn't get any love

 

[TacticalNuke002]

The Kaguya-sama fandom is easily one of the most passionate ones among recent mangas. It is by and far THE most popular manga and discussion topic on r/manga and its fans channel their creativity in unique and innovative ways.

For example, just take a look at what they did here. https://www.reddit.com/r/manga/comments/cn6zgj/we_made_the_entire_kaguyasama_manga_searchable_by/

I don't know if anything similar exists for other mangas but this is just amazing imo
