Edit: Oh, and take into account this is only this year and pretty much just the personal info I have, not even close to complete sales or anything like that. I do know what series are sold out the most often but that is really not an indicator of what are the best selling since they print varying numbers of copies.

A collection of 4 short stories by Arinaga Nie. One could say the story focus on fantasy in urban setting. Felt melancholic at a times. The main theme, from what i read is connection between people. I like it. The art was nice and easy on the eye. It's nothing that's going to make you goes woah, but it still a nice read. Feel good manga.
Kaguya Wants to be Confessed To: The Geniuses' War of Love and Brains 16
The continuation of kabedon story, this time from the girl sides. Kaguya keeps on losing this time around. Did you know to understand true love, you need to fight against society? Become an anarchist!

Poor doge. I can't believe a story about uncle doge can be this relatable!

I expect great things for One Punch Man, Im thinking of buying it because of the messy online scalations, and it seems your clients dont like shoujos and is so weird to see Naruto and Dragon Ball so low with you
Why would you want that?
I prefer mild-medium levels of ridiculousness.
When you start transferring energy through your nipples things are a bit too far for me.
But that's no fun! Why let yourself bound by common sense?
Different series get different amounts of ridiculousness caps.
Something like peephole, perfectly alright to go right off the rails straight into outerspace from the get go.
For me, keijo started really low on the amount I expected and the caps slowly been raising. But energy transfering nips are a bit far past what won't take me out of the story.
I'm sure with eventually more pros/higher tiered rivals the powers will get more ridiculous and by then I'll probably be okay with it but for now there's definitely a line.
You're too serious!

Hey guys do I need to watch any Yu-Gi-Oh series before watching Arc V?
I mean I fuzzly remember the original and I guess the one after in a academy or something... and then I saw bits here and there of other series via clips, etc... idk do I need to crawl through everything to get to Arc V?
-------------------------
Oh and what up Kasane
Long time now see... I think
Also read the ARC-V manga, its really good.
That is because the list is just for this year, Naruto, Dragon Ball and shoujos sold heavily when their first few volumes released constantly, now that we are getting into the 10's for volumes its winding down, but they are still selling, just not as much in comparison to the newer series. That makes sense to me.
Attack on Titan is the exception because the first few volumes (1 to 7) where virtually sold out for a long time, so reprints are constantly selling to those who missed out on the before, its crazy how popular it is.

Man, Shinsuke sure has come a long way from when he was introduced as a fake bumbling swordsman.

Indeed, though what's even more crazy to me is how it seems to be very popular all over the world.
Here in Italy Panini is bringing everything they can related to it (the school spin-off dropped this month), even the novels.
Despite claims of the series becoming bad at some point, it seems to be a very constant/big seller in every market it gets released in.

As much as the arc was kind of a dud, the ending was surprisingly heartfelt and nice for as serious as it was.
Akane still the best though.

I'm only reading this to remind me of my longshot hope that someone makes a doujin of the short-haired gym rat friend.
Kaguya Wants to Be Confessed To 16
Holy shit, this chapter was a riot. I think the manga stumbled a bit in the first volume, unsure what it kinda wanted the tone to be or where to go with the characters but the last 5 or so chapters have been absolutely a blast and it's really hit it's stride.
I lost it at "I was here earlier but I had to run to the drama club to get the hat and magnifying glass"
Not my Fault I'm Not Popular 94
Ha ha, some of the shit Tomoko said this chapter pretty much shows why she gets shit on so much and why it's so deserved. Sorta hilarious that when her brother thinks of her actually being a decent person he whiffs at soccer.
trash. 35
Well that was close. Dammit DP, I know you're a porn artist, but stop making me unable to read this at work.
Alice in Borderland 44
Oh my god fuck that fake out. If that actually happened I would've locked my computer in the closet for being bad. Dude's just running from his problems at this point in time and he knows it and she knows it. And man, his backstory and asking if it was okay for him to be happy was real rough. This manga can be pretty ridic at times but sometimes when it tackles character's backstories and motivations it can be extremely effective.
Immortal Hounds 25
I totally forgot what happened in 24 so went back and read and man, her coworker finding that log book is...really not good.
Slapping Ikegami was a little fucking harsh, dude. She literally just found out her coworker was trying to kill her boss and everyone else knew it.
Mama looks good for her age, even if she's a fucking terrible person and mother. Tied with Goose for just super cunt. They sure are making it very hard to sympathize with the terrorists and people behind Windchime in this manga. The Vectors are worth feeling sympathy for but not the people supporting them. Making her kill Mizushima was really fucking hard to read but I literally jumped out of my chair when she shot Mama too cause fuuuuuuuuuuck her. If I read that shit I'd need that many cigarettes and booze too, Kenzaki. That last page was real rough.
This is a surprisingly good and heavy manga.

"In Chapter 75 of original manga, half of Ayato's bones were crushed. Maybe trash compactor finishes the job in Chapter 75 of :Re?"

That's amazing performance for The Ancient Magus' Bride.

Such confidence.
Although, I know I've felt that way after tests in college.

Huh it got localized? Might pick it up. Read the first three chapters and it was pretty... unique.

Well One Piece just released Volume 15 so is older than Dragon Ball and not much younger than Naruto and is pretty high, also is Highschool of the dead the full color edition?
It's so liberating though!

A collection of four oneshots with supernatural elements related to the character's psyche. I tend to like stories about protagonists whose problems manifest themselves in strange ways, so these ended up being quite fun to read, especially the first and third stories.
