I'm really glad to see volumes of Tokyo Ghoul and Blue Exorcist making it on the list. Here's to hoping that both series will sell better in 2015!

I'm betting on Assassination Classroom joining that set of ongoing 1 million+ volume sellers, the series has had an incredible pace from the start and has more than your usual series lined up along with an anime adaptation to show for it (3DS video game and live action movie all in the beginning of the year). Terra Formars wasn't an unpopular manga by any means at any point, but the anime adaptation seems to have not resonated with people due to the bland animation/direction and perhaps also the censorship. Given how most adaptations are worse than the source material, cases where the show doesn't spark off but the source thrives shouldn't be as rare as it is.
Ditto. It feels good to see your favourite series going stable so you can expect more adaptations or at the least, no cancellations. It shouldn't be about kicking down other interests. |

It wouldn't have hurt anybody to let that One Piece fan have his time in the sun a little crowing never hurt anyone. It really isn't any different than sporting fans bragging about their home teams.
For me One Piece and Attack on Titan are two very different shows, so I could care less who is on top. All I care about is for these shows to still keep on trucking. I remember when Madoka Magica was reaching for the stars. For every milestone it made, there would be a bunch of detractors saying "it didn't deserve it", "you are using the wrong sales numbers", and the classic, "the fans are buying multiple copies to falsely inflate the sales numbers". So I can kinda sympathize with One Piece fans, when they are being told their show is old, has crappy animation, and is on life support; when compared to the bright and shiny Attack on Titan, which is new and frantic in its pacing. Not saying you are wrong in your opinion on the respective fandoms, just that it couldn't hurt to let either side do a little bit of crowing when they deserve it, especially when we do the same thing for our sport teams and no one bats an eye, only when it is anime do we think it is a problem. |

With Blue Exorcist still being that popular wonder if I'll ever get a remake ala FMA:B that's closer to the manga, the anime started of great but once it got to filler it turned kinda bad. The movie was great though, had a different staff too.

Great to see One Piece on top. Eiichiro Oda deserves it for being able to still keep the story fresh and with great humor and action. Well done!

Some people think the Dressrosa arc is dragging too much, but I'm totally loving it so I'm happy One Piece is still on the top, and I do think it deserves it; I'm also enjoying Silver Spoon a lot, so it's nice to see it so high in the ranking as well. ^^
However, while I maybe understand the reasons behind its success, I don't like Attak on Titan. I only saw the anime, though; is the manga much better than it? At first I didn't like OP either, so I'm wondering if I should give it a second chance... |

If your work gets on that list, it's already doing extremely well.
Unless the live-action Titan movies makes hefty splashes in 2015, it may end up in third place in 2015 cause Haikyuu may pull a Kuroko or another (sports) manga get to 8 million. It probably won't have a problem staying above 5 million. As for One Piece, had it been 4 volumes released - it would have been 13-14 million. Assuming another 4m drop, One Piece will be 8m (3 vols.) to 10m (4). If still just 3 volumes, it's also within striking range of a sports manga.  If both OP and AOT are dethroned by a sports manga in 2015 - I want ring-side seats to this event.
