Top-Selling Manga 2013 in Japan (first half 2013)
-
That's my One Piece
-
Ah man I like the Top5 a lot!
All over the world there is so much inhuman TRASH leading the lists of TV/Books/etc.
It it SO satisfying seeing that at least in Japan theres a little bit of hope in the future of mankind^^But one quick question: What's up with 'Toriko'? Was there a quality-drop (I'm still around volume 8 ) or why has the series dropped so much sales-wise?
-
On hiatus for more than a year, an official tankobon full of scribbles, and yet Togashi still gets this kind of reception. Is it any wonder he never works?
Still, that's a pretty sweet-looking Top 10.
Wonder if One Piece would get such figures if Oda had the same working ethic. What's up with the guy anyway? Is he just so lazy? What do his fans think of it? (does he even care?! :D).
I'd like to read HxH, but I'll wait till it's done. Or till the guy's dead. -

Toriko's rank is #12.
It is not that bad.
-
Gintama isn't doing half bad either, wish it was higher but alas, hope the anime doesn't end like the film previews have been leading us to think but that series has trolled us tons of times about that so I will wait and see.
Hopefully next time Naruto will be at the bottom like it deserves, that series is just aweful now.

what is magi about?
-
-
^if that description is enough to convince the user to start Magi, then you're good, blue one.
-
Jesus Christ is a delicious androgynous arabian shota.
Can you recommend Magi? I have heard lots about it, is it just hype (like Naruto) or is it really a good series?
-
I might start watching it too, based on it being #2 and involving magic/dungeons… does it have some comedy like one piece, or take itself (maybe overly) seriously?
-
Don't watch it, read it, the anime rushed and changed many many things.
-
if you want to enjoy the full "epic-ness" of magi , please don't watch the anime just read from chapter 1 , it was a disaster compared to the manga, i still cant believe they destroyed such good source material. yah its got comedy, action , awesome world building , but trust me, the anime adaptation just rushed over 100+ chapters in mare 25 episodes and not only that they just completely changed the zagan arc making it a bullshit filler and changed personalities of the characters.it should not have a 2nd season rather a remake from good studio is what it needs.
what makes the setting and orientation of the story of magi unique is both the clever use of mythology, history ,precise use of gothic artworks and writers ability to find out the dark secrets and questions behind a crisis,thoughts on slavery, politics, or other issues, most of all the shonen-esque elements required to excite the readers. apparently magi became so popular that it already has a spin off manga on its one of best character sinbad who is more or less comparable to shanks in terms of character importance and attitude.
if you want to know what magi is about , just read the summery and reviews in mal . and just read from the beginning, you wont be able to stop once the organization of al shermen and sinbad and his eight generals appear .

Like a boss! Nothing compares to One Piece and it just keeps rolling! Thanks for the links it's always great to see how all of these great manga series are doing!
-
And that is with only one chapter released and even without it One Piece would still be first xD

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, sir.
Read it. Don't watch it.
Edit: aka beat me.
Edit 2 : Headless too.

Top 10 would've been perfect if it were Toriko instead of Fairy Tail, which is quite easily the second worst major manga series out there (behind Bleach). Not gonna lie I have no clue what the basketball one about, but I'll give it benefit of the doubt since nobody else seems to mind the ranking. As much a bumrap Naruto gets, it was a top 2 quality manga up until 2011, so I don't mind seeing it top 10. Glad to see Bleach out of top 10.

Had 2 people who responded to my question without answering the question, whether about the manga or anime… :P How does that happen?

if it is the comedy you are asking about then yes it has comedy moments on both versions , basically the mangas filled with many epic fun moments , but as i said the anime rushed 100+ chapters in 24 episodes , they forgot to include most of those awesome comedy moments in anime. but rest assured , anime version also got its fair amount of fun moments . you will understand the type of comedy that magi has if you just watch the 1st episode of the anime . and the manga got loads of them.
and if i have to compare the comedies , unlike one piece where luffy's stupidity is the main fun part, magis fun moments generate mostly from the bro moments between main characters , misunderstandings and situational puns, alibabas bad luck for women, aladins over attraction for women despite of being a child ..etc… -
Is Magi manga available in english? I do not like to read volumes and volumes on the big screen

It was only recently licensed by Viz. The first volume won't be available until August.

Wonder if One Piece would get such figures if Oda had the same working ethic. What's up with the guy anyway? Is he just so lazy?
Basically, yes.
What do his fans think of it? (does he even care?! :D).
Apparently they don't care enough to stop HxH from being one of the best-selling manga of the year (of course, I think we can thank the anime for some of that).
I'd like to read HxH, but I'll wait till it's done. Or till the guy's dead.
Either way, you're in for a long wait.

Well, that would be at least a better excuse than being lazy, but it would shittier for the person, so yeah, I hope he's just being lazy :D

One piece always in the top :wub:

Magi and Shingeki's getting really popular, awesome!
But how the hell does HXH get so many sales when there aren't even any new volumes? Speaking of HXH, what's Togashi doing these days, why isn't he working??

the anime is really popular and pushing the manga sales which are already very very good.
really hoping for togashi to continue his work >_<"

it's no surprising that one piece is first but am surprised that magi, kuroko's basketball and attack on titan are taking over.. :p
and i like it.. -
@The:
One Piece has Mary Sues and ass pulls too. Same with Naruto, same with Bleach, same with Toriko. If you think these series, as well as a majority of other shonen series, lack Mary Sues and ass pulls, and that Magi is one of the few that has them, then, to put it bluntly, you're a fucking moron and are an ass kissing fanboy.
What Mary Sues are in One Piece?
I can't think of many asspulls outside of Diablo Jamble.

the figure should have been lesser than 4m is it bcoz of film Z, that ppl started to buy more copies from the start of something like that
