Info AoT Volume 12 First Print Run becomes 2 highest ever.55x it's first.

Mantan Web reports today that the 12th volume of Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan manga, which is officially scheduled to be released in Japan on December 9, has 2.2 million copies for its first print run, breaking the 2 million record for the first time. The number is 55 times more than the first volume's first printing in March 2010, only 40,000. The 11th volume published in August 2013 got 1.85 million copies initially. The total sales of the manga series in Japan has reached 28 million copies. Obviously the number is still growing strongly.



The only other Japanese manga title which had over 2 million first copies is, as you guess, Eiichiro Oda's One Piece.The 71st volume of the manga published in August 2013 had 4 million copies in its first printing. So it is still a long way to go for Attack on Titan to be the top selling manga?

Attack on titan can beat 4 million, definitely
One piece may have a larger fan base, but what I love about SnK is that it doesn't have a community like most mantas that have half the fan base thinking the mangaka sold out, and the other half reading normally

Just saying. but next volume will break record again. an increasing still not stop yet.
Maybe when Live-action come out, 3 million printing would not just a dream anymore.

This volume flew of the shelves like nobody's business. Popped down to the store early this week and they already couldn't get a hold of any copies anymore.

Really stoked SNK is doing so well
