Just a small bit of error but if you add the two volumes of Tokyo ghoul:re it sold 1,516,819 copies.



True, since both volumes were released after Nov 16, where Oricon starts counting from Nov 17 for 2015. The extra sales would've been from weeks where it didn't reach Top 10 manga series ranking, but had still had individual volumes within the Top 500 manga, and were still counted as a result. I will add a correction column to account for these cases.



If you find any other such cases where every single volume of a series was released after Nov 17, 2015, and will therefore equal its total sales for 2015 (if we know all its current sales), please let me know thanks.

Those rankings are from the weekly top selling light novel series. If something is on the volume rankings (top 50) but not on the series rankings (top 10) then the volume sales totals can produce the higher sales.



But if you take the series rankings for the weeks when that data is available and the volume rankings in weeks when it is not (but volumes do appear in the rankings), the figure would likely be higher still.



My explanation for these rankings is that it is a compilation of all the individual volumes for a particular series that ranked within the Top 500 (as that's how far Oricon counts to). The thing is that we only get access to the Top 50 manga now, so the total number of sales from the Top 50 is always less than or equal to the sales provided in the Top 10 manga series by Oricon.



I also included the maximum possible sales every manga series there could possibly have, which was calculated by:



Total known weekly series sales + Sum of the threshold sales for every week it didn't chart in the Top 10 weekly series - the number of weeks it didn't chart in the Top 10 weekly series. So it is likely ONE PIECE is above Nanantsu right now, since it only has 7/20 weeks of sales known, but unfortunately we can't say that for certain. However, it should be above it by next week since it will probably sell 1M+ in week 2 as usual.



So this is how the ranks would look with max possible sales (but it may not entirely be this way, as it depends how close they were to the thresholds in each week):



*1 6,293,205 ONE PIECE

*2 5,810,510 七つの大罪

*3 4,077,289 暗殺教室

*4 3,769,992 進撃の巨人

*5 3,389,708 ハイキュー!!

*6 3,199,980 NARUTO

*7 3,061,712 アオハライド

*8 2,985,368 テラフォーマーズ

*9 2,792,172 東京喰種:re

10 2,671,033 新世紀エヴァンゲリオン



vs know sales:



*1 5,810,510 七つの大罪

*2 4,960,245 ONE PIECE

*3 3,323,513 暗殺教室

*4 2,107,394 進撃の巨人

*5 1,752,514 ハイキュー!!
