I'm curious how this person sourced their numbers, it seems like they're doing worldwide. According to Shueisha directly ( http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/20 ... lume-sales , their media guide is the base reference for this) One Piece is the top seller (in Japan) with Dragon Ball being second, although the rest of the top 7 is unchanged. Which leads to what I consider the very interesting question of: "Which Latin American or European country(ies) pushed Captain Tsubasa into the top 10?" (it doesn't crack the list based only on sales in Japan) Considering the Shueisha list put Yu Yu Hakusho (#10) at just under 50 million copies and this list has Captain Tsubasa with 70 million, some country loves their soccer manga to the tune of 20+ million copies.

I was surprised to see Bastard!! on that list, I didn't really know it was that popular. I also didn't know it was still ongoing... :shock:
