22./ Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray - ~1,425,000
23./ Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun - ~1,370,000

I have to say, Haikyu!! is really impressive. The series ended in 2020, and it hasn't had an anime since 2020 either. It's been almost two years (22 months) of no content and it's still selling quite well. Demon Slayer is at least understandable (and still impressive, of course) since it was (or is) so huge and had an anime run from late 2021 through early 2022.

Thanks, Rouk'!

Four series over 10 million is impressive in any year, although there's a huge difference compared to the manga boon of 2020/2021. Those two years were quite something indeed.

Strong year for Spy x Family. The second cour doesn't seem, at least to me, to be getting as much attention as the first cour, so I wonder how that'll impact it moving forward.

Nice to see One Piece getting back over 10 million. Best year for it since 2017.

MHA remaining as stable as ever. It never *quite* took off to what I'd call "breakout" status (2021 being the only year it broke 7 million), but any series would hope to do 5/6 million every year since 2016. It's ending either next year or in 2024 it seems, right? (No spoilers, please! I'm about 3 volumes behind.)

2023 seems kind of unpredictable, doesn't it? Nothing strikes me as a safe 10 million series. I suppose CSM might have the momentum to get there, but could be wrong. Might come down to JJK or OP aiming for ~8-10m?

Also, MHA, JJK, and OP all look to be ending in the next few years. Going to be tough to replace those, OP in particular which has always been reliably there for WSJ and Shueisha when other big series come and go.

Kind of wild that Blue Lock might be taking the year without a single volume over 1 million. When is the last time that happened?

2019.
Demon Slayer won that year with its best volume selling 926,446 units.

But that one aside, before 2008, we don't have much data. It most likely never happened in the 90s and 00s. Probably not in the 80s either, so you'd have to go back to the 70s?

thanks! so 2019 and probably this year are massive outliers in that regard huh.

Nah, it's just that OP won literally every single year prior to Demon Slayer breaking its streak, making the fact that 2008-2018 were all million selling/vol series not that impressive because...it's one series! It's one piece every year

If you don't count OP, for instance, 2012, 2015, 2018 would have had winners below that million selling mark, and 2016 would've barely crossed it.

Blue lock is an outlier though, its individual volume sales (atleast physically) are lower than not just every prior #2 but also every prior #3 as well.
