Publisher Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings (2009-2015)

[Rejuvenation]

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

I'm interested in which will come out on top between Gintama and Reborn in overall sales this time around. XD

Kuroshitsuji and Pluto almost breaking the 500K mark.

I think this is the first time I get to track Asu no Yoichi's sales. o:

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

Reborn always outsells Gintama. The big competition will always be between Reborn and D. Gray Man; both have nearly identical sales, D. Gray Man usually maintains a slight edge.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

D.Gray-man has had the edge recently, but Volume 25 of Reborn looks like it will pass Volume 18 of D.Gray-man next week (428,000). So the tables may have turned for right now.

 

[Kaiten]

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

Volume 18 didn't do quite as well as normal. Maybe because it didn't focus on any of the main characters, until the very end.

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

Not a very high selling week it would appear.

 

[Kaiten]

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

None of the big titles (500,000 plus selling) came out this week or last week, so sales were pushed down. In general, the third and fourth week of the month are dominated by Shonen Sunday and ShoMag, so they tend to be lower in sales.

 

[Rejuvenation]

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

Shonen Sunday all over the top 10. I enjoy each of the series they have there although they get dwarfed by WSJ series. Although most get titles get dwarfed by WSJ lol.

I wonder if Reborn's 25th volume will manage to break 500K or if it will drop off next week.

 

[Kaiten]

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

It will break 500,000 by the time volume 26 comes out. D. Gray Man 18, Reborn 25, and Gintama 29 all sold a little under average for some reason. DGM I can understand, the main characters weren't the focus, the other two I'm not so sure about

I can only check the latest sales of vol18 when DGM was still in top 50.
(2009/6/15～6/21:428,299). 2ch hasn't updated the sales record after that period so Im wondering the sales of DGM 18 should be more than that.

 

[Koshi_Inaba]

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

Kuroshitsuji's that popular? I mean, I know the anime helped the sales, but still, I don't know GFantasy has a large circulation.
When is the ranking for 20-26 coming out?

 

[Kaiten]

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

New rankings are always on Wednesday. I was a bit late this week

Kuroshitsuji is consistently one of the most popular manga, generally selling 500 - 600,000 copies per volume. Nana and Nodame Cantobile both sell more then a million copies per volume from magazines with, at best, moderate circulation. St. Young Men sells about the same as Kuroshitsuji from a far lower circulation magazine. It's not that unusual for a magazine with 100 - 200,000 (or less) readers to produce a hit. It's not like magazines and anime are the only way to expose an audience to a series.

 

[kewl0210]

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

Sales are kinda low because about every Jump series comes out next week. Except Gintama and One Piece.

[Rejuvenation]

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

Ah, Reborn almost made it. XD

Hayate seems in position to break 300K.

That is a pretty good start for Saki. I'll have to look around and see if anyone is working on it since I've been curious about it for a while.

Anyone know the difference between the two Haruhi manga on this listing?

 

[Kaiten]

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

The one ranked fifth is the real series. The one ranked eighth (Haruhi Suzumiya - chan) is a 4koma with chibi versions of the S.O.S. Brigade. The good people at Null are currently releasing Saki.

I'm a little surprised by Moyashimon. I knew it was popular, almost 200,000 in a week a popular, I had no idea.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

Well, having an anime airing will do that for you. It seems like the release of the new log gave One Piece a nice sales boost, too. That volume has been out for a while now.

Hayate and Cross Game are still behind their previous volumes, but they're doing a good job picking up sales.

 

[Kaiten]

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

Not all anime are equal. It says a lot about Pandora Hearts that it gave such a big bump. Especially considering the anime industry is hemorrhaging money.

 

[Koshi_Inaba]

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

well, Pandora Hearts anime is popular and praise for it's story and art so I'm not that surprise, same thing happened to Kuroshitsuji, even bigger for Kuroshitsuji, pushing from 200k-300k to 500k - 600k.
Can't wait for next week ranking, I hope Toriko and Mago break 100k from first week. I expect big things from those two, I hope the anime can push the sales to 300k-400k.
