I don't think Bleach is doing that bad. 400k in 2 weeks is pretty good for a manga that hasn't had an anime in almost 3 years. If anything, Attack on Titan's sales seems to have declined. It used to be up there with One Piece, but even with all of the spin-offs and movies it has been getting it still only sold 860k in its first week while One Piece sold 1.6 million.

Seraph of the End seems to be getting a healthy anime effect with the early volumes all popping up towards the bottom of the chart. Will be interesting to see if this continues as the season goes on.

Bleach is still in the top 20 every year anyways, so that will keep it going till season 2

Gintama barely beat Toriko, despite having an anime Anime hyper
You should be disappointed in gintama instead.

But Gintama has never received the kind of push and publicity that Toriko did. Back when Bleach fell out of grace, WSJ started pushing for Toriko as their next big thing, but in reality, even when it did have an anime, it never managed the kind of sales Bleach had in its prime and it barely makes the top 20 yearly lists. Basically the amount of promotion WSJ gave this series was never reflected in its sales, which is why it looks like an even bigger failure

If you combine the regular and limited editions of AoT is about 1,056,634, right? Pretty good.

If you add the limited edition it would be 1 million. Plus it was released only 4 days ago.
Volume 15 did 1.2 million in 6 days. So not really that much of a drop off.

Bleach has fallen....that's why it's in the top five sellers this April. ok it seems Bleach haters have gotten even more obnoxious than the fanboys recently. as for Toriko jump stopped giving it a push a long time ago as Assassination classroom took it's place, all those One piece cross overs can't keep it a float forever

Nope Toriko got so much push just to be where it's at. Imagine if it got no push....

maybe that was an overreaction, sorry about that, I'd still say it's doing ok for a manga that hasn't had an anime in god knows how long and I can't exactly prove whether or not Periot wants to revisit good old soul society for one last time if you know what I mean, this isn't exactly something like Attack on titan where you know the anime's continuation is inevitable

Roughly where Isobe Isobee Monogatari is? I didn't even know it got volume releases. Heck, it doesn't even have a Wikipedia article.
