We finally have sales numbers from Oricon to tell us which manga were the most popular in Japan last year:
1: One Piece (11 495 532 copies sold)
2: Attack on Titan (6 622 781 copies sold)
3: Kingdom (6 184 214 copies sold)
4: My Hero Academia (5 852 310 copies sold)
5: Tokyo Ghoul:re (5 303 514 copies sold)
6: Haikyuu!! (5 067 939 copies sold)
7: Seven Deadly Sins (3 592 571 copies sold)
8: One-Punch Man (3 223 151 copies sold)
9: Food Wars! (2 792 441 copies sold)
10: Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic (2 713 074 copies sold)
Except for the undefeated behemoth One Piece who takes the lead for another year, it’s actually a pretty tight race for most of the contenders and My Hero Academia certainly seems to have skyrocketed in recent years.
