A shame for Kekkai Sensen (did they move to another magazine?) and Gintama, but I'm glad Seraph of the End made it.


It moved to another magazine with D. Gray-Man that only comes out every 3 or 4 months i believe.

Not really a move though, the previous magazine ended. And so it was the series also ending or get into the new magazine that would take the place of the old.

If you follow the links on the original article, you will realize it has, albeit it is made with computer graphics.

Nope. Full CGI anime is something like Arpeggio of Blue Steel or Knights of Sydonia.
Kingdom anime was a 2D with the use of 3DCGI, like Arslan Senki.

AoT is suffering from the lull where the anime is not in session, so not a lot of people are going to pay as much attention to it. One Piece though is business as usual.
What? AoT's new volumes sold more than last year.

World Trigger could have beat Bleach if it had 5 volumes out this year instead of 4. Shame the mangaka is unwell and often has to take hiatus weeks.

Good to see Kingdom kicking some ass, i have sung this series praise for years now, finally its starting to catch on Smile

If a good animation studio picked up this manga, and made a decent budget anime without censoring everything like the previous anime, it could explode. Explode is really an understatement, this series has the potential to be the next hunter x hunter.

Btw. If you want to get into the series, read the manga, fudge the anime, its horrible in comparison. Also, the series gets really good around ch 60, then it just keeps spiraling upwards with each arc.

Naruto likely ranked so high because the main series ended and a lot of the sales could have been from earlier volumes. That is, a lot of the sales could have been from fans are wanting to have the whole series (this year's Gaiden included) and now they do.

Not a Bleach fan but its rapid decline has been saddening. 3 One Piece volumes have outsold Bleach's annual sale. No disrespect to OP meant, though. Hope Kubo salvages at least something and crafts a good ending for this manga..

So Naruto with only the last volume released in this time frame outsold Fairy Tail, Magi and Bleach to be the 14th best selling series not bad for it's last chart listing.

Poor Toriko can't even get in the top 30 anymore.

Well done to 'The Seven Deadly Sins' you will see a huge drop next year but still impressive.

Fairy Tail grew year-on-year for the first time in several years for some reason.

Shogakukan really needs Silver Spoon to come off of hiatus ASAP as they are doing even worse than last year.

That is not a bug, it is a feature Twisted Evil

I do not understand why you expect a sales drop, if anything the manga really takes off where the anime ended.

If the fate of a whole company rides on only one manga (not called One Piece) then they have difficult times ahead no matter how you look at it.

My bet is that Kubo is like the energizer bunny, he will continue to pump new Bleach manga chapters even if Shueisha drops the title.
