naruball said: You're right. I've read somewhere that One piece sold even better than DBZ back when it was THE manga to read. I guess you al have a point. In terms of poupularity, all the other anime together can't touch One piece at the moment and epxecting a bigger boost was not really justified based on the data we have about each franchise's popularity and releases. |
It is THE manga to read in Japan... it never lost the first place (well few times due Nana).
