Breaking down the results:
- One Piece is the #1 selling
manga , which isn’t a surprise to anyone. - Many top sellers on the list are old-school manga.
- Some
manga on the list is relatively unknown compared to series like Naruto, Dragon Ball, etc.- Golgo 13 is an example. This is in spite of its top 10 seller list.
- If you never grew up in the 1980s or 70s, you may not know half of the
manga on this list. - My Hero Academia has come a long way to reach its seller status. And Attack On Titan even more so (not far off from reaching Naruto).
- NANA is a surprise on this list, at least for me. The anime itself isn’t the most known, but the
manga is a different story. - Great Teacher Onizuka proves it’s an OG with sales to back it up (just like City Hunter and more).
- Detective Conan isn’t the most praised in the anime world, but the
manga absolutely dominates.
