The popular belief that people read less is increasingly wrong. Indeed, thanks to Oricon’s statistics, we can see that manga are selling quite well. What reinforces this finding is that sales concern both classics and novelties. Discover here the 20 best-selling manga during the week of August 08 to 14 in Japan.
