One Piece leads latest manga and light novel sales charts

Even after nearly three decades, Eiichiro Oda's One Piece continues to prove it is the ultimate titan of the manga industry.

As of July 2026, the release of Volume 115 saw the series storm to the top of Japan's Oricon sales charts, selling over 627,000 units in just a few days.

This feat solidified its place at #1, outpacing other major hits like Hunter x Hunter.

With over 600 million copies in circulation worldwide, One Piece remains the best-selling manga in history, showcasing an unparalleled level of brand loyalty.

However, the market is nuanced.

While it dominates in Japan, its performance in the U.S. print market can fluctuate, sometimes trailing behind trendier series like Jujutsu Kaisen, which are currently benefiting from high-profile anime adaptations.

The resilience of One Piece is driven by a massive ecosystem, including ongoing serialization, the anticipation of the Elbaf Arc, and successful live-action projects.

Ultimately, the series is more than just a bestselling book; it is a cultural phenomenon that sets the industry standard, proving that a legacy title can still outshine the newcomers.
