Publisher Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings (2009-2015)

Re: Jump Square (Monthly Shounen Mag by Shueisha)

Does anyone knows the sales for volume 1 of Ao no Exorcist?

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

Volume 1 did not make the top 30. Since Oricon does not post, or I don't know how to access, the full top 100 at their website I don't know how it sold. For an SQ series, not making the top 30 with volume 1 may not be that big a deal.

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

With Nodame, Hagaren and 3gatsu no lion being released, I think some of the series in the top 10 would be push back.

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

This certainly is a big month. Three of the top five series have new volumes out. Nodame and FMA both came out this week, I wonder which will have the better first week. From what I've seen Nodame, FMA, and Naruto are all to close to call.

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

Is there a website in ENGLISH that tells you the number of copies sold per Naruto volume starting from volume 1 and onwards? I'd like to see how well this manga did and compare the sales from Part 1 and part 2.

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

Not that I'm aware of. VIZ claims, on the back cover of recent volumes that there have been 4 million sold. I wouldn't be surprised if that's a bit inflated but whatever. Neilson, the main U.S. book tracking service, does not make sales figures public. That the entire series has barely sold more internationally then the last two volumes sold in Japan shouldn't be a surprise; manga is a niche market outside of Japan but accounts for 80% of printed material within.

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

I'm talking about Japanese sales...I know about the international sales because I've got all the Viz's Naruto volumes at home up to Volume 45

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

There is no site that I know of with a list that comprehensive in English. Heiji will post total sales at Ritual every now and again, taken from 2CH I would presume. I've never seen a break down of each volume. Last I saw Naruto had sold 84 million copies total putting it in fifth place all time. More then that I can't answer.

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

Wasn't it 90 million volumes? I know the number of volumes it has sold over the last 10 years but this was just of my general interest to see if Part 1 sales was better then Part 2...which single volume through 47 volumes has the highest sales etc. Damn. If it's in Japanese then can you translate it for me? And thanks for trying anyway...where is this Heiji site btw?

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

Here's the 2008 volume sales for Naruto according to Oricon if it hasn't been posted or if anyone is interested anyway:

# Naruto #43: 1,188,881
# Naruto #42: 1,092,295
# Naruto #44: 821,612
# Naruto #41: 707,447

Sales in general

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

Part 2 is more popular, apparantly. The volumes from 2008 and 2009 have had the highest average sales of the series. It didn't become a million seller till spring of '08. Unless sales went down then up again, stray volumes aside, Naruto is peaking in popularity right now. Or so it seems to me.

I can't speak or read Japanese. I'm no help translating. Ritual Scan Forge will put some sales info up. It's in French.

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

Naruto sales peaked during end of part 1 and early part 2, according to the 2ch Jump Log Warehouse. They have risen from their local bottom during the Hidan arc, but they're still not quite at their peak.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

Not to take anything away from Naruto, only five series average a million copies per volume. But no, there is absolutely no way a million copies in it's first week, let alone a million and a half.

1. One Piece
2. Naruto
3. Hunter X Hunter (?)
4. FMA
5. (?)

What is the fifth if you don't mind my asking? And I'm not sure about HXH...

 

[◆ T.D.A ◆]

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

Well according to Tohan/magazine sources, Naruto volumes 41, 44, 45 are all in the 1.5 million bracket roughly.

 

[Kaiten]

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

1. One Piece
2. Naruto
3. Hunter X Hunter (?)
4. FMA
5. (?)

What is the fifth if you don't mind my asking? And I'm not sure about HXH...

1. One Piece
2. Nana
3 - 5. Nodame Cantobile, Full Metal Alchemist, Naruto

I'm not sure of the exact order but three through five sell really close.

 

[blue123]

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

Probably a few of the top selling manga sell over a million per volume. HxH usually did, but I guess I wouldn't consider that a "current" manga anymore. Bleach does too, over time.

But the top five sellers in Japan are One Piece, Naruto, FMA, Nodame Cantabile, and Nana (not in that order). That's right.

 

[Kaiten]

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

I short hand them as "million sellers" as new volumes always sell that much by the time next one comes out. Bleach and Hunter x Hunter can take a long time to hit that mark, at least over the last few years.

Re: Weekly Oricon Comic Rankings

Are you sure all of those are using the same sources? The Shounen Jump ones are from the 2ch Jump Log Warehouse numbers (or something using the same source as the 2ch Jump Log Warehouse).

The Nodame volume in particular seems pretty low, however. I think it's from Oricon's data, maybe?
