How the fuck is Slam Dunk still that high? It ended 30 years ago and its still one of the top-selling manga with no sequel or new anime in all that time.

Loved that movie. 10/10

>had to add an 11
I laughed. Also kimetsu basically became an unsurmountable wall. Bynthr time it's fully fine it'll have exceeded 10 million/volume.

>>280665784 (OP)
Why do you obsess over popularity and numbers so much?

>>280667091
>10 million/volume
A feat only done by Devilman.

>>280667502
Still a shit manga desu

>MHA achieved 100 million before JJK and sells better overall overseas
>But its 11th
Huh?
>>280667091
That's because the guy is a retard he also doesn't include the fact that Hokuto no Ken, DB and Jojo had re-releases across many years and didnt reach 100 million when hey first came out

>>280667789
>MHA achieved 100 million before JJK
Less volumes=better sales

>>280667578
Still more influential than Demid Slayer will ever be

>>280669769
Well yeah sure. It was influential I can't deny that. Had some pretty solid drawings and maybe I can't call it shit based on that alone. Bad childish writing all over the place, though.

>credits Toriyama
>depicts a Toyotaro's Goku

>>280665784 (OP)
The Goku pic stands out like a sore thumb with all the other characters being soulful official designs from the original mangaka and the Goku just looking like fanart and certainly subpar for what Toriyama drew

Dragon Ball is tragic because it was built by Toriyama's art being so damn good and yet 90% of the fanbase has no idea of it and just eats up the Toyotaro or Toei slop

>>280665784 (OP)
Nips really love it. I don't understand why, I couldn't even finish it

>>280665784 (OP)
Same reason Dragonball is still selling copies, they're popular and good.

>>280670650
90% of the American fanbase. Mexico gets it.

>>280665784 (OP)
>kimetsu no yaiba
>bleach
saint seiya fags : we made you

>>280670527
Toyotaro is a hack and I still don't understand how he got the job

And that's predominately WITHOUT The West's help, too. Americans hate sports manga for some reason.

But to put it in better terms, WSJ's circulation plummeted after SlamDunk ended. Slam Dunk ended before any of the Legendary Big Three even began publication. That shit was so popular that the trifecta that made manga a legitimate worldwide phenomenon instead of just being a late 90s fad STILL couldn't revive WSJ's circulation numbers.

>>280665784 (OP)
Does Boruto count for Naruto’s sales?

>>280667346
Because his peepee is really short

JJK is so astroturfed lol

>>280665784 (OP)
Slam Dunk is still one of the most beloved manga in Japan

Kochikame stands out as something I've never fucking heard of before

>>280665784 (OP)
It re-releases with a different color dustcover.

>>280665784 (OP)
demon slayer is great, but still kinda surprising how insanely popular it is

>>280665784 (OP)
They sold a lot, that means they must be good

>>280676871
Es requeté famocho aquí en España deidad :'v

>>280665784 (OP)
Damn. Why would that many people read a manga about normal sports? Like in real life it at least has connections with your nationality and it's a social experience you're sharing with others Then again maybe Slam Dunk is based on real people so maybe they read it for that, idk.

>ONLY NEW STORIES SHOULD SELL
God I hate you zoomfucks

>>280665784 (OP)
The bible ended thousands of years ago and still sells a lot

>>280665784 (OP)
>Kinnikuman is not on the top 10 anymore

choujinbros...

>>280670650
reminder that Toriyama's late artstyle looks nothing like your pic

>>280678166
happens even to the best of us

>>280670527
Kenshiro is the only one in that pic other than Goku drawn in digital art and he still carries Tetsuo Hara's soul on it

>>280678112
newbie writers are always complaining that they have to compete with a bunch of dead dudes
