Did they only count the Japanese sales? If so, then he gets even more with WW sales. And yeah, no wonder he keep stretching those arcs. Gotta fill the volumes somehow!

That is very crazy. I imagine he's actually earning a little bit more than that now because I'm pretty sure One Piece sales kept increasing in 2011.
The sales doubled between 2009 and 2010, and once again between 2010 and 2011.
It went like this :
2009 - 6 million
2010 - nearly 15 million
2011 - 38 million
2012 - 23,5 million

One piece isn't going to end until his retirement, is it?
It's old news but

Noted that is is from 2005. So yeah surprise, Kishi is also loaded as hell.

One Piece is the new Kochikame confirmed
Is One Piece the best selling manga ever or is that still Dragonball? I think I recall reading that One Piece had passed Dragonball but I'm not sure.
EDIT: I looked it up and One Piece is the best selling manga of all time. I couldn't even begin to imagine the pressure he must be under.

What surprises me more is that Kishi doesn't hide his money from the feds.

Man, Rumiko raking it in.
Is her new series doing well at all? I've heard nothing about it.
In Japan it has long surpassed DB (288 vs. 157 million) but DB supposedly sold over 350 million times world wide and because we don't have such number for OP, there's no definitive answer.

OP doesn't seem to be as popular worldwide, though.
I wonder if any series will ever be able to touch One Piece.
Well, in France, 15% of the mangas sold in 2012 were One Piece volumes, so around 1 875 000 units.

But France is no indication of the worldwide manga market. It's basically Japan-2, when it comes to manga.
I'm sure people wondered this about Dragonball but then One Piece came out of nowhere to take the crown. I wouldn't expect anything for a long time though.
It being Japan-2 means that manga actually sells enough to actually matter though.

We need to believe in Mario and Toriko.

I wonder if a proper manga about actual mario (videogame dude) would actually be pretty big.

See, the bland art made me forget that it even exists. And the fact that no group has picked it up yet is telling.
Meh, mangas based on videogames are rarely popular.
I agree. I could see it easily outselling Bleach when it gets an anime.
That's because there hasn't been one based on Mario yet!
Even without an anime, AssClass is likely to outsell it this year.

Nintendo released Zelda manga for each new game. It's surprising that they didn't make one with Mario, but I guess the lack of story makes it a bit hard.

If that article about his sleep habits is true it will end very soon when he kills himself with overwork.
Shit, I didn't realise it was selling that well. I could see it hitting Hunter x Hunter or Naruto levels with an anime then.

Volume 4, released last week, already sold 473 936 units.
Volume 3, according to the latest ranking, sold 644 362 units.

Eyeshield 21 Chapter 7
Shin reminds me of another character so much but I just cant think of it, like he served as an inspiration for someone. Not being able to start is not good as I was curious what his skills are but at least Sakuraba will, hopefully hes truly a star and really phenomenal. Mamori is really annoying and I hope she leaves the plot, why so terrible to Hiruma, awful.
Twilight - Part 2
Young Kim continues to really make this a fantastic read. Such good artwork most of the times (one or two panels looked a bit too typical of a run of the mill shoujo art, kind of), but she always captures Edward so well. She even has him say the best lines. The little effects for most panels and pages, the touch of color here and their for special scenes and then just full scale color for the best moments work so well. Color for Carlisle's tragic backstory, and the rest of the family (he went through so much pain it seems, Edward too). Alice's backstory, though brief, was way depressing even if told from the tracker. Story is at times difficult for transitions, like it took me a while to realize they had actually did leave for Phoenix and then they just jumped to prom. Also there was too little Jacob
. Will start New Moon part 1 soon.

That 350 millions number is always thrown around because of that dumb website that made the inaccurate list. The actual worldwide sales are 230 millions

Do you actually like any female characters DTL?
Genuinely curious because most of the time I read your impressions you seem to dislike the female leads.

And people said I was crazy when I doubted that DB sold 200 millions overseas.

But the Mario lore is so rich.
We need a shonen about plummeting.
Dethroned.
I don't think a manga about people falling would be very interesting

Nodame Cantabile's author new manga is about overclocking so...
Still waiting for someone to translate more chapters...

Noooooooooo.

We need more believers.

Not surprising, considering the premise. It's hardcore niche.
The review I read about it made it sound very good.Nodame Cantabile's author new manga is about overclocking so...
