ICv2 previously posted lists of the top-selling manga franchises for fall 2021 as measured in U.S. dollars and the "most efficient manga franchises" for retailer bookshelves, according to its analysis of sales reported by NPD BookScan and ComicHub.
NPD BookScan collects weekly point-of-sale data on print books from over 16,000 locations including e-tailers, chains, mass merchandisers, independent bookstores, and more. NPD BookScan covers approximately 85% of the U.S. trade print book market. The ranks on this chart are based on piece sales. Some publishers classify titles that are primarily text, or art books, as graphic novels; ICv2 removes those titles from the rankings.
