Yokai Watch has definitely been the breakout hit of the generation thus far.


Yes definitely, New IP and over 10x it sold first month and keeps on going. its a million seller already, we dont kno the digital sales this month which is important due to the promotion going on with the LL.

This reminds me of Attack on Titan + Hunter x Hunter major success in the manga department cuz of the anime (both amoung my top 10 manga/animes of all time)

You do realise that Hunter x Hunter has been one of the most outragously popular mangas since it got going in 1998, often only being beaten in popularity by one piece, all whilst having one of the shittiest consistancy of chapter releases, and if it had been even 80% as consistant at getting chapters out as One Piece (as apposed to less than half) the manga sales would be around 200m right now (assuming the manga continues to be as long as One Piece is currently) as apposed to the 65m as of Febuary 2013 (probably 70m right now). Also Attack on Titan was fairly popular in its own right before the anime hit as you don't survive 5 years as a monthly manga without good sale. Granted the Anime helped the series explode, giving the series the second highest manga sales in 2013 at ~15m.
