Best-Selling Manga Series of All Time

About This Dataset

This chart ranks the best-selling manga series of all time by copies in circulation or collected volumes sold, measured in millions across all their tankobon volumes.

✨ AI Insight

Eiichiro Oda's One Piece is the best-selling manga ever at roughly 600 million copies, twice the total of the series tied for second. Doraemon and the long-running Golgo 13 both sit at about 300 million, followed by the detective series Case Closed at 270 million and Dragon Ball at 260 million. The list mixes decades-old titles that accumulated sales over long serialisations, such as Golgo 13 and KochiKame, with far newer breakout hits like Demon Slayer at 220 million and Jujutsu Kaisen at 150 million, both of which reached those totals in only a few years. That range shows two paths to the top of manga sales: steady accumulation across a very long run, or explosive short-term popularity fuelled by anime adaptations.
