Japan – Two New World Records in the Manga Sector. Carlsen Verlag Breaks Two Print Run Records in Manga Land with Around Three Million Copies.
Carlsen Verlag has set two new world records. According to the publisher's reports, the paperback version of the manga series "One Piece" not only achieved the highest initial print run ever for a manga paperback in Japan with three million copies but also the highest initial print run for any book in Japan's history. "One Piece" even surpassed what is likely the most famous wizard of this generation—"Harry Potter." By May 9, 2010, 2.82 million copies of Oda's story had been sold. And there’s no end in sight.
