List of best-selling manga

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

The following is a list of the best-selling Japanese manga series to date in terms of the number of collected tankōbon volumes sold. All series in this list have at least 20 million copies in circulation. This list is limited to Japanese manga and does not include manhwa, manhua or original English-language manga. The series are listed according to the highest sales or circulation (copies in print) estimate of their collected tankōbon volumes as reported in reliable sources unless indicated otherwise. Ties are arranged in alphabetical order.

Note that most manga series are first serialized and sold as part of manga magazines, before being sold separately as individual collected tankōbon volumes. This list only includes the number of collected tankōbon volumes sold.
