So out of 5 volumes being released this month One Piece get's a whopping total of one volume and was beaten by Soul Eater which was released nearly 3 months ago.


This is best seller list of January 3-9.

The new batch of One Piece were released on Jan 5. I don't think a lot of people check/buy manga volume releases every week. We'll probably see more sales figures in the coming weeks.


The pattern shown in this release is the same pattern shown in all of One Piece's releases, get number 10 the first week, get number 7 the next and then be off the list by week 3. Simply put it's not on the level of top selling series like Naruto, Bleach, Negima, Fullmetal Alchemist, and apparently Yu-gi-oh! GX.

Poor One Piece... I can't believe the same manga that sells millions and millions in japan was just beaten by Yu-Gi-Oh GX. Mad

Well, I'd like to think the lack of it on TV doesn't help any, but that doesn't explain stuff that goes great guns without being near the tube. One Piece always seemed to me like one of those things that would do a lot better if they gave if a chance, but figure it's too cartoony or whatever. (Or they remember the 4Kids version and shudder, so that's something we can blame them for, if you like.)
