@Gokuyuske:
Is there a list anywhere of how well the first volumes of past series did? I'd be interested to see what else has sold ~100k for the first volume in the first week.
Keep in mind older manga are near impossible to get that data, only available data for those would be sum totals.
Just the first volume, first week.
the (total) isn't accurately full total, just total sales known from adding all the weeks they were ranked.
Likely many of them kept selling more off-chart.
Bakuman 154k (500k+ total)
Toriko 69k (161k total)
Anedoki 55k (109k total)
Beelzebub 51k (121k total)
Nurarihyon 48k (68k total)
Nisekoi 45k
Harisugawa 44k
Double Arts 40k
magico 32k
Pajama 31k
Kuroko 20k (45k total)
Medaka 15k (98k total)
AKaboshi 15k
Hokenshitsu 14k
Inu Marudashi 12k
Kurogane unknown (under 18k, didn't make on the chart)
STARS unknown (under 15k, didn't make on the chart)
Enigma, Oumagadoki, Psyren are off the chart as well
Medaka's comeback is rather amazing when looking at numbers.
Looking back, maybe 70k for assclass is a bit optomistic.
