Manga Midlist 500
(adjusted sales rankings excluding volumes from the top 5 series)
for the week ending 1 February 2009

To better illustrate how 2nd-tier titles are performing, the 100 or so books from the top 5 series are excluded, and then a top 500 chart (this ‘Midlist 500’) is re-run and re-numbered with the volumes that remain.

More Next Week. Promise.

Originally compiled by Matt Blind for the benefit of the Manga Community and posted in the rankings category at RocketBomber.com. Derived from publically available information; if you feel your intellectual property has been infringed upon then I’d advise you to chill, consult your lawyers again, maybe grow a thicker skin, and then also recognise that you’re getting a free, weekly link directly to your manga offerings [right at the top of the post, in case you missed it] on a blog that specifically caters to fans of the medium. Maybe you should be sending me money, or free manga, as opposed to getting your boxers/panties in a bunch over imaginary copyrights.

All data as posted released back into the public domain (be free, little numbers, go frolic and prosper) with merely a humble request that you link rather than steal, and that any derivative works include an attribution and also remain free to all.

Additional information on sources, methodology, bad habits, wastes of time, trivia, what is and isn’t manga, how alcoholism and OCD directly contribute to the compilation of the rankings, the thaumaturgical formulas used in the spreadsheet, answers to readers’ questions (if you ever get around to actually asking me anything) and other similar esoterica can be found in the Charts’ FAQ.

…if you’ve read this far, you’ll no doubt be interested in the Weekly Commentary Posts.

More Next Week. Promise.

Originally compiled by Matt Blind for the benefit of the Manga Community and posted in the rankings category at RocketBomber.com. Derived from publically available information; if you feel your intellectual property has been infringed upon then I’d advise you to chill, consult your lawyers again, maybe grow a thicker skin, and then also recognise that you’re getting a free, weekly link directly to your manga offerings [right at the top of the post, in case you missed it] on a blog that specifically caters to fans of the medium. Maybe you should be sending me money, or free manga, as opposed to getting your boxers/panties in a bunch over imaginary copyrights.

All data as posted released back into the public domain (be free, little numbers, go frolic and prosper) with merely a humble request that you link rather than steal, and that any derivative works include an attribution and also remain free to all.

##

Additional information on sources, methodology, bad habits, wastes of time, trivia, what is and isn’t manga, how alcoholism and OCD directly contribute to the compilation of the rankings, the thaumaturgical formulas used in the spreadsheet, answers to readers’ questions (if you ever get around to actually asking me anything) and other similar esoterica can be found in the Charts’ FAQ.

2008 Rankings: and Blood+ may just be my Rosetta Stone

filed under , 30 January 2009, 02:46 by

Note: not the software, but the reference to a key that unlocks mysteries

Let’s start with what Blood+ is: It’s a book from Dark Horse about Vampires. Blood+ isn’t a top ten title. Or even a top 50 title: as a series, it ranks #58 on my year-end chart. Actually, I might call it a solid midlist title — it does well enough but no one is cosplaying as any of the characters.

Blood+ is notable for two reasons though; 1. it’s a 2008 release (vol. 1 came out in January and after a brief initial pause volumes have been releasing every 3 months) — and 2. (as noted here) Dark Horse gave us a unit sales number.
“The first three volumes of Blood+ manga have sold over 52,000 copies!”

Oh yeah, baby, it’s on. Let’s take the information I have, see what else we can track down, and maybe drag my arbitrary “scores” into the real world.

Let’s start not with my numbers, but with ICv2’s

Top 100 Graphic Novels Feb ’08
31. (3.42) BLOOD PLUS TP VOL 01 $10.95 DAR: 2,333

Top 100 Graphic Novels May ’08
69. (1.58) BLOOD PLUS GN VOL 02 $10.95 DAR: 1,609

Top 100 Graphic Novels Aug ’08
59. (1.63) BLOOD PLUS GN VOL 03 $10.95 DAR: 1,688

Top 300 Graphic Novels Dec ’08
59. (1.73) BLOOD PLUS GN VOL 04 $10.95 DAR: 1,617

For each volume, note that it only ranks in the ICv2 Top 100 for the month of it’s initial release, and then sales drop to the point that it no longer registers (less than 1000 copies — though the GN charts from ICv2 expanded from 100 to 300 just this past November; now they have titles ranking that sell as few as 400 or so units in a given month)

Adding up ICv2’s reported unit sales for the first three volumes, we get 5630. My own charts show a different (and somewhat more complete) sales picture

According to my estimates, the Blood+ books don’t peak online until a full month after their release, and then there is a drop-off. For Vols. 1 & 2 you can see something of a plateau after the peak-and-slide; residual demand keeps sales chugging along about 3 months before a final drop.

For the novels, you can see a much flatter graph with a single up-and-down sales bump — but interestingly, also delayed 1-2 months from the actual date of publication.

The delay might be the result of one of two things (or maybe both working in concert): Either there is a significant delay between actual sales on a site and the corresponding higher ranking reported in my sources, or people actually do shop in stores first and only buy online a week or two after they can’t find it anywhere.

Or maybe all folks don’t follow blogs with new manga release charts so there is a much slower ‘discovery’ process even for titles that they already know, like, and own.

Year End Rankings from my spreadsheet:
197. Blood+ 2 – Dark Horse, May 2008 [4377.1] ::
422. Blood+ 1 – Dark Horse, Jan 2008 [2094.1] ::
850. Blood+ 3 – Dark Horse, Aug 2008 [768.7] ::

that’s a total score for the year (all three volumes) of 7239.9. My data is for 37 of 52 weeks; setting up a quick ratio I get an adjusted score of 10175.

I estimate that online sales as a proportion of all bookstore sales is 20% (based on analysis of reported sales from Amazon, B&N, Borders, et al. in 2007)

If my estimates (both for the volumes, this series, and the market) are true, and if all assumptions are correct, and if I’m not too drunk tonight:

Aw, hell, I just won the lottery: My arbitrary scores for Blood+ vols 1, 2, & 3 seem to match up with actual unit sales within a margin of error that is scary

10175 * 5 = 50875 (as compared to 52,000 reported unit sales)

What we also see is that the direct market is about 10-15% of total sales (5630+ of 52,000 — at least for this title). Let me press my bet:

Remember the ‘pivot’ volume I listed in the Naruto Analysis? The one that hovered right at 6000 points week after week all year? (I divide by ten to go from “points” to “scores” — hence the decimals above — mostly so you folks don’t confuse the points and scores with Actual Sales)

Let’s check ICv2: what’s interesting is that each volume ranks, but once again only in the month of its release, in the case of Naruto vol 28 that’d be March when it ranked 3rd with sales of 5,427.

If ICv2’s estimates of Direct Market sales in fact represent 10% of overall sales, that’d put Naruto vol 28 at sales of 54,270 units overall. Seems low. We might suppose that for a title like Naruto, half of all sales take place the first month and another half of sales for any particular volume will take place in months and years afterward. That is an OoMA* estimate, and it actually gives Naruto credit for much longer legs than many books: More often than not, most book sales occur in the first couple of weeks; here, have some data

Stanford Graduate School of Business: Valuing Bestselling Books
Rampant TechPress: Inside the Amazon Sales Rank

Switching back to my estimates, Naruto vol 28 scores 20971.2 on my year-end chart, adjusted to 29473 for the full year (as noted above), and if online sales are in fact 20% that’d put overall sales at 147,365 units for this one title.

Do Bookstores sell Naruto at three times the rate of Diamond-dependent Local Comic Shops? Hm? I’m thinking more ‘yes’ than ‘no’ on that point.

Also of note:

–-Let’s put the book biz into perspective for most of you, big-picture-type-stuff:
Source: the June 2007 Harper’s Index*

Minimum number of different books sold in the U.S. last year, as tracked by Nielsen BookScan: 1,446,000.
Number of these that sold fewer than 99 copies: 1,123,000.
Number that sold more than 100,000: 483.

*and I paid $26 for a subscription to verify on Harper’s website what I thought I’d read a couple months back — I might have saved the money because the same info can also be found via a Google search cited at a random blog or two. But now we all know.


[that’s a pull from 5by8, #26: So what’s the target? which also doubled as my 2006 year-in-review post.]

50,000 copies of anything is nothing to sneeze at; in fact, it’s beautiful. 10,000 copies is cause for much rejoicing at most publishers. With Naruto, Viz has a license to print money. Not just books — that damn ninja sells magazines, DVDs, merch, headbands, orange jump suits, and given the age of the fanbase and the strength of the franchise — there are probably a dozen or so college freshmen who have used the popularity of Naruto in one way or another to get laid.

Believe It!

##

This post has a lot of ifs, ands, & buts to qualify and hedge what really are merely estimates and best guesses.

3 volumes of Blood+ sold 52,000 units in 2008. That we know. Single volumes of Naruto sell at least 100,000 each. —no one is reporting that as fact, but damn, that looks about right.

And my arbitrary rankings, well…

I think I over-represent titles at the top and under-represent titles at the bottom of my list. Somewhere in the middle, though, there is a sweet spot, and I may (repeat: may) have come up with estimates that are damn close to actual sales.

Footnotes:
* OoMA = Out of My Ass — that’s a standard scientific statistical term. Well, it should be.



2008 Manga-related Prose Fiction Chart

filed under , 26 January 2009, 18:26 by

Because of a tie-in to a famous manga property (or publisher) the following novels earn a spot on my manga charts. Some are light novels (with manga style illustrations), some are straight prose, and some are just here (*cough* Avatar). And a fair chunk is yaoi.

2008 Charts: Naruto

filed under , 24 January 2009, 17:47 by

…oh sure, you know I post long lists of text-formatted charts, but you might have asked yourself, What’s The Point? “Oooo, Naruto’s number one again, I could have told you that, Matt.”

Occasionally I’ve also posted pie charts. They’re easy, too. [dr.horrible] “Like Pie.” [/dr.horrible]

Can I attempt a deeper analysis, with maybe some graphic interpretation to make the points clear?

Gee, that sounds like work…

…This is a hobby, folks, I’m not sure I want to do work

(you should be thankful I like math)

2008 & Naruto actually combine to make a very good case study, by virtue of the popularity of the series (which results in large, trackable sales) and also because 2008 was ‘normal’ for Naruto, a pause between the Fall ’07 and Winter ’09 Sales Putschsen.

Releases:
Naruto 28 — Mar 2008
Naruto 29 — May 2008
Naruto 30 — Jul 2008
Naruto 31 — Sep 2008
Naruto 32 — Nov 2008
Naruto 33 — Dec 2008

Naruto vol 28 is the pivot: first volume available after the ‘Naruto Nation’ promo, available all year, and sold both to the folks who were collecting individual volumes and to those who bought the ‘Shadow Box’ box set (vols 1-27) who’d like to continue with the series. It’s the pale blue line that hovers around 6000 in the posted chart above; it’s our baseline for demand.

Underneath that, hovering around 3000 initially, you can see a tight knot of titles early in the year — not just the backlist (vols 1-5 are charted above) but also pre-orders for volume 29. And then we watch each volume break out in turn (dark green, light green, purple, orange, and red lines above) and the overall lifting effect this has on the series — from Feb to Dec the overall scores have risen from a 2500-3500 range to a 4500-5500 range.

In other words, even with more volumes available and presumably with more fans ‘graduating’ from starting out with the early volumes to collecting only the most recent volumes — more and more people are signing on with volume one.

Sure, I said demand was softening. —and I stand by that. Long term this is not a sustainable model —But for the short term, Viz has a license to print money.

Yes, all the links are broken.

On June 1, 2015 (after 6 years and 11 months) I needed to relaunch/restart this blog, or at least rekindle my interest in maintaining and updating it.

Rather than delete and discard the whole thing, I instead moved the blog -- database, cms, files, archives, and all -- to this subdomain. When you encounter broken links (and you will encounter broken links) just change the URL in the address bar from www.rocketbomber.com to archive.rocketbomber.com.

I know this is inconvenient, and for that I apologise. In addition to breaking tens of thousands of links, this also adversely affects the blog visibility on search engines -- but that, I'm willing to live with. Between the Wayback Machine at Archive.org and my own half-hearted preservation efforts (which you are currently reading) I feel nothing has been lost, though you may have to dig a bit harder for it.

As always, thank you for reading. Writing version 1.0 of Rocket Bomber was a blast. For those that would like to follow me on the 2.0 - I'll see you back on the main site.
