Actually, scratch that. Dragon Ball has sold 350M since 2008 according to Oricon, which means Dragon Ball has probably passed 450M and is at 475M right now. So... 475M divided by 42 volumes is 11.30M volumes sold per average. Lmfao.
>Dragon Ball has the highest per-volume average in manga history
But Shueisha hates Dragon Ball and tries to sabotage it to prop up new gen crap like Demon Slayer because it makes the decline of Jump after DB ended more obvious (lol).
>Dragon Ball is the true most-read Japanese manga worldwide
Which Shueisha hates, because that means people still prefer a manga that ended 30 years ago over One Piece (lol).

Read this Spic, from Oricon themselves back in 2008.
>『ドラゴンボール』は、全世界で3億5000万部を売上げ、連載終了後10年以上経ってなお世界中で圧倒的な人気を誇る日本の大人気コミック。これまでもその実写映画をハリウッドが製作することや、伝えもれてきたストーリー、ビジュアルなどが話題を巻き起こし、映画の仕上がりについて様々な憶測を呼んでいた。
>"Dragon Ball" has sold 350 million copies worldwide, and even more than 10 years after the manga ended, it remains an overwhelmingly popular Japanese comic across the globe. The fact that a live-action movie was being produced in Hollywood, along with the rumored story and visuals, stirred up significant buzz and speculation regarding how the movie would turn out.
