2008 Top-Selling Manga

news from ANN,

the Top 10 best-selling manga by series in japan are,

01) One Piece (5,956,540 copies)
02) Naruto
03) 20th Century Boys
04) Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
05) Bleach
06) NANA
07) Soul Eater
08) Nodame Cantabile
09) Rookies
10) Gintama

as for the Top 10 best-selling manga by volume in japan,

01) One Piece #50 (1,678,208 copies)
02) One Piece #51 (1,646,978 copies)
03) NANA #19
04) One Piece #49 (1,544,000 copies)
05) NANA #20
06) Nodame Cantabile #20
07) Nodame Cantabile #21
08) Naruto #43
09) Naruto #42
10) Fullmetal Alchemist #19

somehow, i'm surprised that Nodame and Nana got into Top10 for both lists.

hmm.

maybe i shouldn't be surprised, since both series had anime and live-action adaptations that were immensely popular.

but all in all,

ONE PIECE (still) RULES!!

WOHOOOOO!!!
