No doubt Monster Musume took the crown in 2014 to replace Rosario + Vampire (the 2013 winner) as the most popular Manga series here at RACS. And I have no doubt why - it's awesome! :-)

Thanks for providing this information. It's always interesting.
Attack On Titan #10 only. Random right?
And nothing for the criminally underrated Knights Of Sidonia?
How does that Manga sell?
Thank you again for taking the time. Good stuff.
All the Titan releases of 2014 are in the top 150. Remember that this list represents only around 6% or 7% of the total releases for the year. I'm thinking we got around 850ish new manga volumes last year, but I haven't bothered to get a formal count. RACS fans tend to fall into the more hard core rather than causal fan category, so their interests are always more focused within the genre and not as high with the more 'mainstream' or mass market titles. While Titan and Naruto will post right at the top of a general bookseller list, we will always see titles like SAO, DxD, Rosario, Mayo Chiki, Spice and Wolf, Haruhi, Claymore, and Dragonar do better here. These are the sort of titles that don't have as much crossover interest into other genres outside of core Anime and Manga fans. Titan, as good as it is, is definitely a crossover property.
Knights Of Sidonia Vol #11 and #12 rank in the 40th percentile, they are quite a ways down on the list. A good example of an excellent series that has only seen a very niche readership. We see a lot of that.
Thanks Robert. That's very interesting and insightful as always. Guess I'm showing my age as well as my interest.
