Mmm Tokyo ghoul doing some pretty sweet numbers! Thanks to the anime, it got really popular.

Bleach below Gintama? Not good...but Gintama anime helps boost sales quite a bit while bleach anime ended a few years back. Once the last arc gets Animated, it should pick up some steam :)

Jojo is also showing some versatility for a 30 year old Manga :D thanks to that sweet anime adaptation no doubt.

My buddy keeps telling me to read haikyuu, might do it. He says it's basically kuroko with volleyball xD

Is that so about Tokyo Ghoul? I thought it was just overall popular. I had some friends tell me it was great and recommended to me o:

Jojo was quite popular where I lived in Japan, but that could be because the manga artist was from that city, so maybe it was part of their pride in living there, haha.

And yeah, Haikyuu was quite popular. A lot of my students had goods of it. It took over after Kuro Basuke ended xD

Tokyo Ghoul was pretty popular berfore the anime, but with anime it just skyrocketed in popularity(probably helps that the anime is crap and everybody wants to read the obviously better version xD)

Jojo has always been extremely popular(selling almost 100 million copies is proof of that I think xD) and it's also one of the most influential mangas out there. You can see references in a lot of very popular series' these days, so I don't think it was just where you lived. Although him being from there probably gives people a push to read his work xD

I just think anime has helped widen the audience for these mangas and can do it for many more as well.
