This is a list comprising the most purchased manga by Tankonon volumes. This will not be limited to one single magazine, but instead include every franchise owned by the Kodansha company.

This interest stack will include the title, ranking among manga in general, and the sales of their Tankobon volumes.

Changes since March 2025: Blue Lock and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime moved up. Go! Go! Loser Ranger And Mazinger Z were added. Magical Teacher Negima! and The Quintessential Quintuplets were removed.

Weekly Shōnen Magazine (Japanese: 週刊少年マガジン, Hepburn: Shūkan Shōnen Magajin) is a weekly shōnen manga magazine published on Wednesdays in Japan by Kodansha, first published on March 17, 1959. The magazine is mainly read by an older audience, with a significant portion of its readership falling under the male high school or college student demographic. According to circulation figures accumulated by the Japanese Magazine Publishers Association, the magazine's circulation has dropped in every quarter since records were first collected in April–June 2008. This is, however, not an isolated occurrence as digital media continues to be on the rise. (Source: Wikipedia)

I base my list simply on the manga listed on MyAnimeList (https://myanimelist.net/manga/magazine/8/Shounen_Magazine_Weekly).

Those I haven't had yet and which have a good chance of moving up in the rankings: 1 2 no Sanshirou, A-bout, Ai to Makoto, DAYS, Football Taka, GetBackers, Over Drive, Sumire♡17-sai, Super Doctor K and Tokkyuu
