 * Unfortunately, Kimetsu's circulation hasn't been updated since 2021. I'm always on the lookout for an updated number, so it will definitely be added when they decide to announce it. ManjirouEdits (talk) 05:41, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Soul eater should be Added to article
Soul eater has now surpassed 20 million sales and so should be added to this list. 2A00:23C8:5910:E401:213A:8D2B:BB08:F8F7 (talk) 01:05, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Dragon ball has 350 million copies in circulation according to multiple sources including shueisha and oricon news. The references are there in the dragon ball separate wikipedia page.

 * Recent reports (from official sources) state figures lower than that, like this press release from Toei,, so I assume that the figure from that 2008 article was just not accurate. Xexerss (talk) 17:23, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah if it was at 350 million in 2008 why would sources published within the last few weeks place it at 260 million? If the 2008 number was correct at the time I would expect it to be more like 400 million now, yet they report far under that. I'm not sure where that number originated, but I think this is probably a case where WP:CONTEXTMATTERS should be taken into account. Link20XX (talk) 18:07, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

I can't believe Dragon Ball has been brought back to 260M copies in circulation, despite it being notoriously wrong
For years now there have been several well-known and important sources that put the manga at over 300M copies in circulation, some even at 350M. Even adding the official sales country by country it easily exceeds 300M, but the number here never changes

The fact that it's still at 260M in particular due to the stubbornness of some users is simply absurd, and does damage to the reliability of an otherwise exemplary wikipedia page which, among other things, is also used as a source by many sites and articles which then spread this error. I can only hope it gets fixed soon 146.241.94.211 (talk) 11:03, 10 October 2023 (UTC)


 * I have added 3 sources that state Dragon Ball total sales are 300 million. I have thus changed the number of total sales to 300 million and rearranged the order in the table. Luka316 (talk) 08:43, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Wonderful, many thanks for the excellent work 146.241.67.11 (talk) 21:36, 17 December 2023 (UTC)


 * 350M figures comes from 2009, and since then many other sources started using at random times, including Wikipedia and have been circular reported WP:CIRCULAR and WP:AGE should use new figures and here is a reliable year by break down of the numbers with multiple reliable sources.

as you can see the gradual increase of the numbers over the years, not random figures. Beastmastah (talk) 16:59, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Natalie Comic, Toei Animation, Oricon, and these brand new ones from MaiNichi and Nikkei (I'm sure you can find more), all have Dragon Ball at 260m in circulation. The sources you're posting are over a decade old, and there was never a 260m figure posted prior to the 2008 source you're providing for it to be old data. But I do believe an update to 270m may be coming soon. ManjirouEdits (talk) 02:35, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * 300M updated

 * The CBR article you linked here also says the source is an unrevified fan account and, which suggests they did not fact check it at all. This clearly fails WP:RS. Link20XX (talk) 03:56, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
