The Record has Broken

was it beaten by another one piece book?
-
If it was broken by a Shingeki volume, I will be sorely disappointed in the nation of Japan.

News source or it didn't happen.

what Grizzlay said you don't just post something like this and not give a source
-
Trust Kaizou on this one, he's not just anyone. He knows his stuff.
-
It is confirmed that Eien no Zero (the novel by Hyakuta Naoki) has recorded as the highest selling book series in Japan (based on Oricon). Before that is the volume 61 of One Piece.
-
Even so, some details would be nice.
-
I don't trust him. I just went to google and there is nothing on this
-
For people who don't trust me, here is the source:

I have included the source for that on my first post. Now, everyone can see it.
-
It will be beaten by another One Piece volume further down the line, don't worry.
-
ah there's the source now I believe you.
-
So, a single volume novel? Whatever. Now, if that single volume sold 400 million copies, that would be different. But its just outselliing a volume.)
1)Oda matches those sales on the new volume every three months.
2)Oda's sales keep rising.
3)First printing isn't the final numbers over the course of decades. -
If true it will be funny to know by what
EDIT
Oh a novel… OK nevermind -

For people interested, here is the trailer for live-adaptation movie of Eien no Zero

looks like a nice movie, I wish I could speak japanese sometimes

Do you have the exact number of copies sold for Ein no Zero(I can't read Japanese)? Because I'd wager that volume 1 of One Piece, which is still in print after 15 years, and was selling for the 10 years before Oricon started collecting sales data, has still sold more.
-
The trailer looks like a beautification of kamikaze fighter planes during WW2. Damn this is a bad day.

- volume 61 of One Piece = about 3,718,000
- Eien no Zero = about 3,765,000
Also, this news is based on Oricon, so we never going to know the figures for the One Piece's volume which released before 2008.

Heh…but sales of the first volume of One Piece should be a lot higher than volume 61. Then again Oricon exists since 2008 so that number is a mystery (it got 100 printing though).

The link says Ein no Zero got 3.765 million copies sold. While One Piece 61 has sold 3.718 million.
-
So in other words, it'll take like a year for One Piece to get ahead again.
-
Honestly I think it could be a good movie. I've seen seppuku justified so I'm sure somehow their fight will be. But it's still not an ongoing series since 1997 and flourishing a non-existent world in our minds week by week.
IMO I'm more interested in the studio ghibli plane one. I've become indifferent to live actions often now. The acting has to really sell it.

Here is a noteworthy article surrounding the author, Yamada, and his popularity within the rising sentiment of Nationalism in Japan: http://ajw.asahi.com/article/behind_news/social_affairs/AJ201307040005

I'm wondering though if this is based on the first print or if they are counting all the print runs. If they are doing it on just the first print then it would make sense as to why they have those specific numbers and why they are not updated to have sold more. Just a thought.

Given how many volumes One Piece has shipped in total, the average per volume is over 4 million. So it is highly likely that multiple early volumes of One Piece have sold significantly higher than the book

It is based on just first printing.

I think this "record" is a bit stupid becouse Oricon only counts sales from 2008 to the present. I´m pretty sure that first One Piece Volumes sold more than 3,765,000 copies.
For example, in 2011 One Piece Volume 01 sold 545,045 copies, 14 years after its original release date. You can imagine how many copies sold before 2008 (I think probably close to 5,000,000 copies).
And I think there are more Manga Volumes that have been able to sell more than 3,765,000 copies.
-
It's just a single volume novel.
Not very worrying. One Piece is still the fast-selling Japanese comic, as far as I know.
-
More important, have somebody already translated Eien no Zero novel?
There is not really any problem for a good novel to surpass One Piece, relax guys, If it was a news about Naruto surpassing it I would be choked.

@RobbyBevard:

Well then that should put everybody's worries to rest then. This is just one volume and one printing, I don't think Oda's going to be worried about this at all. He only makes $25M a year from the manga and anime royalties, licensing, music, events and etc. right? I think people might be jumping the gun a bit.
-
I have weird feelings about eien no zero but i'm sure they are shared by some people
-
OP sells a shitload of copies…that
s the gist i
ve taken with me here. -
Congratulations fully deserved as well.

A lot of you guys are forgetting it's about first print run, not sales in general.
Also, sadly lately overall sales of One Piece have actually dropped (and not raised like many of you think here). I don't have exact numbers, but I think it was ~18 million volumes in 2013, over 20 million in 2012 and over 25 million in 2011. Of course we can hope it will go back up later, Oda's trying to gather big players again to spice things up, but eh, you never know. Shingeki no Kyojin got close to beating OP up in combined sales in 2013 (I don't think it will beat OP further down the road since 2013 was the year anime for it released and a huge wave of newly-made fans went to buy books), so it's a sign. There's been less merchandise produced for One Piece, too.
-
The back catelog sales going down is only natural. The bubble from Marineford/Strong World was impossible to sustain. Individual volume sales have slowed too a little, but it's saying something when the series can lose sales and still be the top selling manga series.

Not sure about that since the volume 64 had a 4M print: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-11-03/one-piece-manga-no.64-gets-japan-1st-4-million-print-run

The huge drop of sales is mainly due to the fact that One Piece volumes filled the whole manga market. I doubt there are a lot of new manga [shonen] readers left to buy the whole collection. Give it another 10 years.

Don't worry Op will solo all.

novels are different.. they dont sell like 50 volume of one novel title. well, there may be one, but i doubt that one of them would go into million.
