Close to 47 million manga volumes have been sold in France in 2021, generating 353 million euros of revenue.
That's more than twice what it did in 2020.
Manga represented 55% of all comics and 13% of all books sold (up from 7% of all books sold in 2020).

- Best-Selling New Series (One Piece Episode A)
- Best-Selling New Volume (One Piece

No pretty infographics from me, you know where to find those. So let's talk about this year and what's noteable about these numbers.
1/50
Until this year, only one manga had ever managed to get a first print of over 200,000 units in France.
Naruto.
However it all changed this year as five more manga series reached that threshold.
Jujutsu Kaisen, Mashle, My Hero Academia - 200k
One Piece - 230k
Kaiju No. 8 - 250k

French Manga Sales, Gfk data via LivresHebdo
With 274,975 units sold, Naruto Volume 1 was the 9th best-selling book and the best-selling manga volume of 2021 in France.
Its sales increased by +115% compared to 2020 and by +366% compared to 2019.
Doesn't make Chainsaw Man outselling My Hero Academia in their launch week any less impressive.
It was still a first. No other manga had ever done so since My Hero Academia first exploded in popularity in the US.
Remember this?
Well, it didn't age well.
The most recent Dandadan volume (
#6
) received a first print of 90,000 units (via LivresHebdo)
That's a -70% drop, not even a year later.
To compare: Kaiju No. 8

still had a 250k first print, the same as volume 1.

TV Channel PBS aired a segment on manga popularity in the US with this graph showing the amount of manga volumes sold per year there.
Previously, we only had the ComicsBeat estimates.
I'm assuming PBS got direct data from Circana and, therefore, their data is closer to reality?

Pas encore d'adaptation de sortie, mais Mortelle Adèle est également un succès comparable à très très peu de mangas en France.
Difficile de parler de "niche de passionnés" pour une BD qui vise un si jeune public.

It's important to look at the axes with graphs like this.
Here is Boruto's graph put on Bleach's, to scale
And then a comparison to Demon Slayer...
If you don't look at the axes, then you can only comment on whether or not they'd make a nice ski slope (shout-out to AoT)
IDK if you made the numbers on this graph too small to read on purpose, but 400,000 (lowest point for bleach) is more than 350,000 (peak boruto sales) actually

Representation matters.
Look at how many Indian people are happy about being represented in these Netflix shows (like Bridgerton). It's normal to feel happy when you see someone who looks like you on screen.
The ~500 million Arab people all over the world also deserve that
@MugiwaraSAS
MHA declining should have no effect on One Piece's sales. The manga market is not a zero-sum game.
I legit think the Live-Action trailer is the main reason for this growth this past month
We'll know for sure when it releases
For the first time since March 21st, 2017, a Bleach volume charted in a daily Shoseki ranking.
Bleach
#73
was ranked 454th and
#74
was 500th
It seems the anime does help the manga sales ever so slightly.
It's insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but eh, still a fun fact
For the first time in almost 40 years*, the two biggest manga magazines by circulation are NOT Weekly Shonen Jump and Weekly Shonen Magazine!
Monthly Corocoro Comic has obtained the second rank over WSM by a hair.
*around 1985, but we lack data to be sure
