The ups and downs of Attack on Titan volume 11
Quote:
Week 1 - number 1
Week 2 - number 1
Week 3 - top
Week 4 - bottom
Week 5 - top
Week 6 - top
Week 7 - bottom
Week 8 - top
Week 9 - bottom (latest comic ranking)


Most likely stock issues is to blame for Volume 11's weird up and down movement.

Quote:
Oct. 3 - Amazon Japan has Volume 11 labelled "Usually ships within 2 to 4 weeks."

Oct. 5 - Amazon Japan stopped accepting orders for Volume 11.

Oct. 8 - Volume 10 suffers the same fate on Amazon Japan.

Oct. 10 - 10 back in stock; 11 still out of stock.

Oct. 12am - 10 went back to can't be ordered status. And volume 9 also can't be ordered.

Oct. 13am
Volume 9 & 10 - Usually ships within 2 to 4 weeks.
Volume 11 - still can't be ordered, already for over a week

HMV

Oct. 10 - HMV right now only has the special editions of Volume 11 and 7 in ready stock. The rest is "For Order - Ships when in stock" and right now - you can't even order volumes 1, 8 to 10.

Oct. 12 - 11 and 7 special edition, 3 to 5 regular edition in stock, 11 reg. ships when in stock. You can't order 1-2, 6-10.

Oct. 13am - All volumes can now be ordered. 1-10 is "In Stock - Shipped Today or +1 Day". 11 is still "For Order - Ships when in stock."

They thought 1.75 million copies of volume 11 would be enough in a previous article posted here (too lazy to find it, use the search box). Not enough obviously... just get the special edition!

Glad to see Chihayafuru 22 still has some tail on her (LOL).

And here I was, always wondering how a basketball manga could sell so good.

Then I watched the anime and realized it.

Volume 10 is back in stock on Amazon. 11 still can't be ordered. I really don't get this. Amazon usually accepts regular edition book orders even if it takes one month to fulfill.

I think the reported 1.85 million first printing for Volume 11 includes both regular and special editions.

Second to the last time I do this chart. Last time will be when 2013 full count comes out in late November.

44,309 (down from 44,841) - weekly average per volume (1-9 only) since the premiere (26 weeks ago); 6 weeks remaining in 2013 count. Yes, all volumes stayed on the Oricon chart every week while the anime was airing.

vol | regular | special edition

*11 | 1340478 | 275066 (regular edition has stock issues at Amazon Japan)
*10 | 1813584 | *30404
*09 | 1851288 | *25712

vol | Overall |2013 only| special edition
*08 | 1872232 | 1178540 | 42949
*07 | 1866585 | 1139737 | 39662

vol | Overall |2013 only| (vols 1-6 do not have special editions)
*06 | 1940897 | 1132321
*05 | 1982093 | 1133454
*04 | 2018399 | 1127360
*03 | 2145749 | 1135816
*02 | 2200555 | 1149119
*01 | 2264041 | 1174618

-Regular Edition Oricon Reported Sales-
14,176,315 - 2013 only
21,295,901 - all-time

-Special Edition Oricon Reported Sales-
544,337 - all-time (estimation based on the following computation)

20,380,000 (total all editions) minus 19,835,663 (total regular edition only) = 544,337 special edition copies sold as of September 8, 2013

Shingeki stock situation has gotten worse on both Amazon Japan and HMV. I've updated top post.

Amazon Oct. 13am
Volume 9 & 10 - Usually ships within 2 to 4 weeks.
Volume 11 - still can't be ordered, since October 5

HMV Oct. 13am
Volumes 1-10 is "In Stock - Shipped Today or +1 Day".
Volume 11 is "For Order - Ships when in stock."

Right now, I expect Volumes 1-10 to still rank next week, but not volume 11. For some reason, Kodansha can restock 1-10, but not 11.

Also, just how many special editions of volume 11 (and 7) did they print out? It's still in stock even after two months (since April 2012).
