OP 1 probably have way more sales than that? I mean, One Piece have 473 000 000 sales in 96 volumes that mean his best volume should have way more than 4m sales.
it's probably unreported though. I imagine One Piece volume 1 (and select other volumes important things happened) have quite a bit higher but they're never high enough to appear on weekly charts even if they're still selling volumes each week. If we took those into account the question would be impossible to answer.
Yeah that's what I mean... One Piece volume 1 probably have way over 10 000 000 sales alone, Dragon Ball volume 1 too.

I thought he meant "top selling in a single year". Either way, 10 million for volume 1 is quite the overestimation °°
been 10 years since last reported number, 5M is a safe bet, 6M is possible considering when that value was known
Yeah, that sounds plausible.
According to Shueisha, it's become the second-fastest and successful hit after Assassination Classroom
Well for One Piece it never had a stock problem and probably sold most of its copies in a month like most manga but both KNY18 and 19 went out of stock several times which is why is still selling 50k-100k+ every week.
Geez, when I think about how long it took for Endo to reach this success.... The only thing I regret is that he isn't in the main magazine. Now, I already know the arguments for Endo staying in Jump+, and truthfully, I agree with all of those. I'm just saying that if Endo was in the magazine, that would be a hell of a story to tell.

I don't know if this is really due to demand, or just Nakano being a cheapskate.
It's playing safe. If you see the progression of its numbers, you can pretty much guess print has always been a problem.
All those failed attempts in SQ man. Nice to see him finally establish a place in Shueisha’ proud history.
I don't know about circulation, but the last volume sold 11,135 copies in 3 days.
