I don't know about the manga sale statistics or anything like that but I highly doubt that DBZ is the most popular manga right now. It was obviously the best at one point but right now there's Hunter Hunter,, Naruto, One Piece, Bleach (I don't read Hunter Hunter or Bleach but i've heard things )I'd say that DBZ is one of the most popular mangas of all time though

![]() I'm just a piece of trash.. but there are things I learned. The hole in your heart is something other people can fill. If you reject your friends' feelings and this world.. Just because something didn't go as you wished, no one will ever come to you. And so that hole won't be filled either, if you just run away without doing anything people won't do anything for you either.. As long as you don't give up, you can still be saved | |

Thanks for the reply Paste Ninja ![]() Well so you think that there's any way mangas such as One Piece far surpassed the likes of DragonBall in popularity? |

Popularity? Well, I'm not sure. People like me and most people on this forum could say they prefer DB because of nostalgia. My opinion is that DB is still a legendary manga, and was the most popular of its time, and is still very much loved today, but I think that One Piece has surpassed it in overall popularity. I still prefer DB though

DB is not the most popular right now, but it was when it was originally being published in Japan. Due to the popularity that it sustained over the years, it is the top-selling manga series of all time, beating out Astroboy, Akira, Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach. So even though it's not the most popular now, it is the highest grossing of all time not only because of how many other shonen series have been inspired from it, but because of how long it's been around.

The heck is Kochikame? Not trying to make excuses, but this chart is from a year ago. DB undoubtedly sold more than before with the release of Battle of Gods. Probably not as much as One Piece, but it's still up there. Edited by Ketchup Revenge, Oct 24 2013, 05:55 AM.

Kochikaime is a gag series, it's been published since the Mid-70's, it's the longest manga series ever published, has over 1700 chapters. It's only sold that much because of the sheer number of volumes it has. Also as for the sales, I doubt Battle of Gods would do anything for sales, nothing that would make it catch up to One Piece at all. One Piece sells over 10 million volumes a year, there's no way the new movie is bringing in those kind of numbers, especially for such an iconic series that the vast majority would already be fans of anyway. |

One Piece is the most popular and highest grossing manga of all time. Dragon Ball was during its time, but One Piece has surpassed it. |

I suppose if you have a passable story and a million volumes, you're bound to surpass something with less than a quarter of that amount. I should've figured! Ugh! So STUPID! |

You mean One Piece has surpassed DragonBall in overall in popularity and sales?i don't think so DragonBall is out for a much longer time since years and years ago I don't think One Piece or any other manga are above it Now but its most likely very possible tagt One Piece has a very high change of surpassing dbz in the next years,that's just my personally opinion |

You could always look it up. It's a fact. One Piece has been going on way longer than Dragon Ball and has over 65 volumes. It also has a better story. It is known as the greatest manga of all time due to sales and popularity. |
