Well, I think its number 2 spot will be kicked out soon when Arslan Senki releases its volume (I wonder why it is taking so long time).
Even it written by author of FMA. it has no guarantee Arslan Senki will have good tank sale.

It does have guarantee for Arslan Senki to have good tank sale because Arakawa Hiromu is currentlyone of most popular mangaka in Japan.

People buy manga just for the sake of the authors name and not for the content?

Well, people gonna buy the first volume for the author's name value because of the author's fans. The question will be how much it'll increase after the first volume.

Arakawa already proved herself as the great author from FMA and Gin no Saji, so everyone just gonna buy Arslan Senki because Arakawa did the comicalization. My question is why it is taking so long time to release the first volume.

Of course. People do that with everything. It is just like people watching a movie based on the star. That doesn't guarantee sales comparable to Hagaren or Gin no Saji. Arslan is just a side project, it's not receiving the same amount of promotion as her main project. Jyuushin Enbu, her side project while writing Hagaren, sold decently well and inspired an anime. I'm sure Arslan can sell about 100,000 copies per volume. Probably not much more. Becoming the second best selling series in Betsu Mag is only realistic because the bar is set so low. I can't imagine Arslan selling any more prolifically than Jyuushin Enbu.

There's also the fact that Arslan Senki is an adaptation of an already established fantasy series. Perhaps, it can appeal not only to the manga readers, but to the novel readers as well, an broaden the usual trade volume audience?

This is a sample pictures for what it looks like for upcoming Shingeki no Kyojin live-adaptation movie. This pictures wer for upcoming Subaru (Japanese car) commercial (it made a collaboration with SnK). Also, the full commercial hasn't released yet.

Didn't Aku no Hana sell around 200k per volume. that's mean Arslan still lower than Aku no Hana if it true.

10 vol. = 2.2m so 220k per volume.
I don't think publisher overprinting it.
This doesn't necessary mean each volume have printed 2.2 million copies. The total printing for each volume is different, like the volume 1 going to have most number of printouts and the volume 10 going to have least.

Unless you look at very long period of tank sale, like sales for several months.

Is that a number for just original series or as a franchise (like including spin-offs).
