Which Manga Sells Best - Have A Look

Usually I can spend a lot of time daydreaming, with or without my favourite manga but from time to time I get curious to see just what is happening with other people and what do they like best.

So when I get in the mood I decide to check what’s happening in the external world and this time when I checked Jornalista to see what’s new at the manga world I found a link to the list of the best selling manga at June and couldn’t resisit.

The post is by Matt Blind and it contains all the data you ever thought of on the selling rate of Manga. Just to give you a taste here’s the top 50 series:
