The famous Oricon portal is one of the most important services to keep track of sales of manga, light novels or home video editions in Japan. In fact, since its launch in 2008, the site has grown into a trusted database in the animation and publishing industries.
ONE PIECE is the work that comes closest to that half a billion copies sold worldwide, but it's also the one that's grabbed most of the public's attention over the last 14 years. However, since the advent of Orikon, Eiichiro Oda's masterpiece wasn't the only series to achieve staggering sales. So here are the top 10 best-selling manga since the launch of the famous service:
- ONE PIECE has sold 215 million copies with 52 tankobons in 14 years;
