Sailor Moon NY Times Manga Chart List

BanzIVenus · **Joined:** Jan 07, 2012 **Posts:** 34

I admit I don't really like anime & comics that much but when I found out there was a specific chart just for manga I was very fascinated. I always like charts because it's very interesting to see what sells well and what doesn't. In this thread I will archive Sailor Moon's position on this chart.

Sailor Moon vol. 1

Code:

Week 1: #1
Week 2: #1
Week 3: #1
Week 4: #10
Week 5: #2
Week 6: #4
Out for two weeks
Week 7: #3
Week 8: #4
Out for one week
Week 9: #5
Out for four weeks

Sailor Moon vol. 2

Code:

Week 1: #1
Week 2: #1
Week 3: #2
Out for two weeks
Week 4: #6
Week 5: #9

Codename Sailor V vol. 1

Code:

Week 1: #2
Week 2: #2
Week 3: #3
Out for one week
Week 4: #8
Week 5: #9
out for two weeks
Week 6: #2
Out for two weeks
Week 7: #9
Out for four weeks

Codename Sailor V vol. 2

Code:

Week 1: #2
Week 2: #3
Week 3: #4
Out for four weeks

I will update this once the next chart is released.

I enjoy having all of this info in one spot as you did, and thank you for putting the time to do so. I do have a suggestion to help, in that I think if you account for the weeks where the books were not on the chart in your week numbers, it would be easier to draw comparisons to how each volume sold in their release windows. For example, you have SM V1 up to week 6 with no interruption, a mention of a two week hiatus, but start the week number at 7. I think if you adjusted that to 9 and the rest of the charts accordingly, it would be better statistically. Just throwing it out there.

^ Agreed, & thx BanzIVenus for compiling it.

Keep it up. Good info.

Also showing my support for having this info in one place, thanks for compiling!
(Now I'm interested to see how other series compare)

Thanks for putting this informational chart together - it is really useful and really appreciated!

Thanks for your guys feedback!

I'm going to update this list the next time the chart is published which I think is today, but I'm wondering. Would you guys like every release week to be one long consecutive timeline? Like say week 6 of Sailor Moon vol 1 is week 1 of SM vol 2, but I write both weeks as week 6?

Personally, I'd like it a bit more detailed, if that's not too much work to do.

Lemme get this straight. Sailor Moon keeps coming out at #1... but Negima is Kodansha's cash cow? I'd really like to see the sales numbers for comparison.

Speaking of Negima...

Where is this person?! This thing should have been updated a long time ago. xD

It's fascinating to see how popular the manga is - and I know it's not any indication of whether the anime will be brought back but I hope it does. As much as I love Sailor Moon, I'm very hesitant about buying the DVDs straight from Japan when I hardly know the language. And I don't have a job right now so... just looking at the prices on YESASIA, I feel like I'm about to have a panic attack.

The numbers for the manga have been incredible. Just goes to show how vast the "Sailor Moon" fanbase is. I mean, there's been virtually no promo for the manga re-release, right? The anime hasn't been on Western TV for years, there's no current re-dub airing for cross promotion, etc.

The numbers and chart positions do not lie! :tongue:

= #2 (1 of the 2 only Japan-origin GNs in the Top 10)

The rest are "The Walking Dead" & "Games of Thrones" GNs.

NY Times Best Seller List For April 1-7:

= #8 (Down 1 Spot from last week)

BTW, Rika, that was the monthly sales list...completely different from the NYTimes Best Seller List.
