how is it that volume 1 is still in first place? Do people not realize that there are more than one volumes?



American manga market is really low in costumers and irregular. When a series gets a good stream of sales, even it being small, it easily gets a ton of times in the top.

Im saying why is Volume 1 of tokyo ghoul always on the top Im saying why is Volume 1 of tokyo ghoul always on the top



Because it has a good and regular stream of sales. Is popular enough to get a little(and by little I indeed mean Little) number of new people interested to buy it every week, just to see what is about.

In any other country, specially Japan, that would mean that it would appear around the Top 500 or maybe even 200, but it wouldn't certainly appear in a Top 10. In America is enough to appear at Top 10.



For Example, last year Attack on Titan volume 1 sold 54k copies and it stayed all year long(or almost that) in the Top 10. This means that per week it sold only around 1k copies. That was enough to get in the Top 10.



One Piece best new volume the entire last Year sold 5.9k copies(Yep, One Piece in America sells horrible, in France it sells 18 times more), I believe this is One Piece volume 76 2nd week, so Tokyo Ghoul volume 1 didn't need to do much to surpass it.

You keep misunderstanding him, that's not his question. He's asking WHY vol. 1 is still on top instead of the other TG volumes which should have theoretically being outselling it since they were released later. I've bolded his main gripe.
