That wiki isnt 100% accurate btw, not to mention it includes worldwide figuresAre we sure it's right?
Why the list of best-selling manga says differently:

Hokuto no Ken is at the 12th place. While Comicdata listed it as having 47~60 million in circulation (which is also the figure shown in the tweet), I've also seen the article where it's mentioned that the 100 million circulation. I can only assume 100 million is the worldwide circulation number.
Those are worldwide numbersAre we sure it's right?

I don't know, usually the anime made years after the end does not raise sales much ...
Haikyu!! Land Vs Sky: 19,710 copies

Slam Dunk is actually over 170 million when including WW numbers, alot of series on that wiki arent accuarte and havent been updated, the 126 million include the original 121 million copies plus the 5 million copies sold in 2018
This needs a lot of explanations and stuff to determine, as for example, dates. Kochikame's number from 2014 already was 157.200.000 (https://web.archive.org/web/20140430025858/http://adnavi.shueisha.co.jp/mediaguide/2014/pdf/boys.pdf). Naruto's outdated, since it's 153.000.000 since 2019 (https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/culture/20190502-OYT1T50164/). Also, Bleach's is from 2014, and isn't up to date with the 120.000.000 worldwide number that was given back in 2018, so it's a bit sketchy. Haven't checked them all, but there are some inconsistencies.
Didn't it give HxH another boost?
Damn, those Dr. Stone numbers.
Yeah, the 73 million figure is from the 2019's Annual Index of Publications, which only accounts sales data and not circulation numbers.

In order to look for sources and numbers of every series here, I have made this I'll try to keep updating it as soon as I can, and also people from the WSJ server will be able to help me. If anyone notices any inconsistency, just say so to modify it with the latest known data.I'm translating all this in Excel right now. Going by place 44 out 90. For some reason they didn't update Neverland (these are the numbers of volume 11).

I finally ended translating that pic. Besides the Hokuto no Ken stuff, I think there are more things wrong in that list. Anyways, seems a lot of that list is based on Savi's video ().
Some missing stuff:
Whistle (1700), Black Cat (1200), Highschool Kimengumi (1000), Black Angels (800), Jungle King Tar-chan (700), Hareluya II BOY (600), ****** Kamen (600), Shape Up Ra (550), Moeru Onii-san (500), Fuma no Kojiro (450), Psyren (100), Wingman (50), Hinomaru Sumo (48), Otoko Ippiki Gaki Daisho (22), Astro Kyuudan (20), Yoroshiku Mechadoc (11).
And then there is Mazinger Z and its ??? status.
Boruto had that after 4 volumes?
That thing keeps being sketchy. There's an ANN article that mentions Mangazenkan and some post saying that it indeed had 70 million copies, but the source of Mangazenkan says it's on 60M, and the other post also redirects to Mangazenkan. I don't really know where does the 70 come from or if there are other sources with the number, so will need to look a bit further.
