Number of sales and date that number was acquired from in notes for each. Some of them I have personally estimated a higher figure than the date says.

No. 11 is Senri no Michi mo by Ippo Ohara & Satoshi Watanabe, which started in 1989 and ended in 2022 with 134 volumes & 693 chapters in Weekly Golf Digest.

No. 19 is Kowashiya Gen by Hashino Hideki & Sadayoshi Ishii, which started in Jan. 10th, 2003 and is ongoing with 112 volumes & 1067 chapters in Weekly Manga Times.

No. 20 is Hakuryuu, which started in 1996. I have put Hakuryuu Legend instead because I could not find an earlier version.

No. 43 is Kabachitare! by Takashi Tajima & Takahiro Kochi, which started in 1999 and is ongoing with 93 volumes & 974 chapters in Weekly Morning Kodansha.
