Japan Rankings
ワンピース
Author: Eiichiro Oda
Why It’s Popular: The legendary series remains at the top thanks to its thrilling storylines, new revelations about the world of the Grand Line, and the ever-expanding adventures of Luffy and his crew.
In 2024, ONE PIECE released three new volumes, from Volume 108 to Volume 110, selling over 3 million copies in total. An absolutely staggering number!
I think the reason why ONE PIECE is so beloved in Japan has a lot to do with cultural and societal values.
Personally, I find the emphasis on friendship and bonds, as well as the theme of hard work and growth, incredibly compelling!
