Dude, you're disappointed in One Piece's performance? I'm shocked by it. I mean, that volume came out approximately 5 weeks ago, and it's STILL on the top 30. It's sold over 1,567,000 copies; that's gotta be a record of some sort. And even if it isn't, I'd say that it's still extremely impressive. Seriously, I wonder if it's possible to find sales charts for Dragon Ball volumes from when they actually came out, just to compare. Does anybody know where to get 20 year old Oricon rankings?
@Kaiten.Sama: If sales halved for One Piece every week, then in the second week it would sell half a million copies, judging by the last 3 or so volumes. The way One Piece sales seem to work at this time (meaning in the last year or so) is that about a million copies get sold in the first week, and then another 500,000 over the next month. The sales seem to settle at a more calm level after the initial humongously large surge. Either way, I still find One Piece's sales immensely impressive, and I must admit that they do a fair amount for my fan-ego.
