It's always so interesting to see what Japan prefers. I've wanted to get more in touch with Japan's culture, and have been interested lately into what anime and manga sells the best over there. Though, it's no surprise One Piece is dominating.
My signature is lame...

Shout out to them! This list does sorta remind me of how "inflated" 2020 and even 2021 rankings were (especially 2020 with demon slayer just doing Numbers)

The gap Between 1 and 2 in Light Novel Sales is crazy.I'm surprised to see in manga sales by series 2 romance titles in Top 10.

One Piece is at a point where those numbers are considered “low” for it yet it’s still at the top. Unc still got it. 🙂‍↕️🙏
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

Yeah, the gap in LN series ranking is funny.
Did people get sick of Ayaji and decide to jump to Mao² instead?

I remember when One Piece volumes used to sell that many copies in a few days and roughly 3 million volumes each.

@Geark77 Oricon does not include digital copies and overseas sales~

COTE still has high sales but not as high as Apothecary Diaries.

Slime Isekai and Apothecary Diaries have the highest sales according to the publishers~

It's funny how JJK fans complained so much about the ending and it's final two volumes are still selling over a million copies each. Another funny thing is the "new cultural phenomenon" is not even among the top ten either by series or volumes. I am surprised by Yotsuba selling that much. I love the manga and I never realized it's actually that popular.
