Haikyuus second and third season provided a smaller boost than I expected

I'm surprised Nisekoi sold 1.9 million
It didn't even make the list last year.....

Many people wait for a series to end to complete the collection. I don't know if Japanese readers have this habit, but maybe they also buy the series after it ended if they follows the magazine and don't really need the volumes immediately. There are a lot of hypothesis, but in short, people liked the series and decided to buy or complete the collection after it ended.

except chrisbj is wrong and nisekoi did make the list last year

That's actually the reason why the final volume of a series sells more than the regular volumes. This is even the case with series like naruto which went well past a million when the regular volumes sold in the 800k to one million range. If you look back through the data, naruto usuallu dropped off the chart around 900k. Its also a thing that at least 40% of jump's readership just glances through the magazine when new chapters come out. They'll be in the convenience store or places like that and will read it right there after they buy it. Theyll then probably throw it out outside the store or leave it in the subway. They'll read the stories in depth in the volume releases.

Well I havent necessarily done that, but i can see why the last volume sells more. If it's a series I like but it's super long (like Naruto) i might buy the first volume, a few others with good arcs and then the last. I own Naruto 1-10, about 5 random volumes, the last volume and the Gaiden volume.

Also how did OPM makes the list? It had two volumes released. I thought for sure it wouldn't break top 10. It looks like it had massive backlog sales.

If Spring Weapon can last until Gintama ends do you guys think it can survive

Surprising not to see anything Naruto-related stuff on a ranking list but Boruto has only 1 volume released in this fiscal year and it was no way getting anywhere in top 30, especially how dry it is so far. Bleach did 4-5 spots better than last year but it'll be interesting how it does next year with that controversial ending. FT is up 2 spots and down about 700K in sales so it's no real biggie, it did better than last year but I expect it to fall since no anime will be helping promotion for the next sales ranking. OP is always king but it almost sold 2 million less...

 

[Tamil]

Toriko never once made the top 30 after the anime ended. No volumes in the top 100 volume list too. I wonder how much Black Clover sold. How long of wait till we see the top 200 or 300 volume sales?

Go HxH lol.

Weekly Shonen Jump #01/2017 cover.

 

[Mammo]

Japanese comedian Kendo Kobayashi announced his manga awards for 2016, there are pretty meaningless but still funny

Grand Prize award : Asahinagu (last year Boku no Hero Academia won)
About time it ended award: Kochikame
About time it returns from hiatus award: Hunter x Hunter
High expectation from a new manga award : The Promised Neverland
I liked it award : Takuan and Batsu's Daily Demon Diary

2017年は俺たちの年。
Shueisha already announcing that One Piece will be promoted to exhaustion next year. I wonder what they will do in terms of merchandising that hadn't been done already. XD
Well, 20 years of success, that's One Piece.

Off Topic:
One Piece still need a good FIGHTING GAME that is as good as the Naruto Storm franchise. Burning Blood is bad. It's like J-Stars Victory VS/VS+ with One Piece Character.

Bleach did 4-5 spots better than last year but it'll be interesting how it does next year with that controversial ending.

All of the Bleach volumes for this year, 71-74, which includes the last volume, are already included in this year, because the sales period for these rankings is from November 23, 2015 to November 20, 2016. So Bleach won't publish any volumen next year, so, obviously, won't appear in the list. And the last volume, 74, indeed increased slightly the volume sales in comparison with its other volumes this year, 71, 72, 73, in the same time period.

No wonder it did better lol it was like 21-22 last year, I never was fully immersed in Bleach, like I got the gist of the stuff and read the final chapter but it's still sad of the decline in sales to me. Nisekoi won't be included next year either since all the volume sales came in the year, it did good for a harem manga and moved up a couple spots too.
