Black Jack Copies Sold Contradiction

[edit]

Wikipedia's best selling comic series list (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_comic_series) puts Black Jack at 176 million copies sold. However this page and the Wikipedia page for Black Jack itself (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Jack_(manga) ) puts Black Jack at 50 million copies sold. Which source is correct? 50.175.126.146 (talk) 03:46, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

176 Million copies worldwide seems to be correct, I believe it has originated from this AnimeAnime page published in September 2015. The reference on the list of best-selling comic series needs to be updated, a blog page should not be referenced, despite the fact that it may be credible.
50 million copies are stated to come from Japan only, both references used are of references written in English. But from the same AnimeAnime page published in 2015, it says only 45.64 Million copies are achieved within Japan, contradicting the two English sources published in 2012?

Edit: Now examining further, the source from AnimeAnime page seems to be copied off via Wikipedia originally? There are no prior article from early 2000s stating it could have sold this amount. RikaHonjo (talk) 09:11, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Both numbers may be incorrect. Newest article from NHK Science & Culture Journal published in 2023 July, indicated according to Tezuka productions, the total number of copies sold is 47.66 million in Japan. RikaHonjo (talk) 09:44, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doraemon now has over 300 million copies sold worldwide, including both physical and digital copies. As indicated by the Shogakukan Adpocket PDF page published on July 2024. And this page from Fujisan. RikaHonjo (talk) 07:10, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The manga Seven Deadly Sins has ended in 2020. So you should change the background color and edit the present date to 2020. 92.37.47.85 (talk) 20:28, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done The data also includes its sequel Four Knights of the Apocalypse, which is still ongoing (see the footnote). Link20XX (talk) 20:55, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It probably shouldn't? since then we could group Naruto and Boruto together? Then you should also group Fairy tail and Fairy tail 100 year quest? 92.37.47.85 (talk) 09:48, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The sources for copies in circulation of Fairy Tail and Naruto state that the figures are for the two respective main series (they don't mention spin-offs and other series); on the other hand, the source for the 55 million copies of TSDS and FKOTA counts both series as one.
