The Twenty Highest Selling Manga NOT Available in English

[@pede6272]

If Hajime No Ippo, Kingdom and Baki got released in those JoJo/Northstar type hardcovers. My life would be complete. A Kodansha deluxe edition of Sun Ken Rock, would also be so damn sweet

[@haggsy]

hajime no ippo and maybe even kingdom probably wouldnt get printed in english. too much content at once (idk)

[@chrisfabian711]

theres over 1000 chapters as much as i like hardcovers i feel like that would delay publication for sucha long series

[@watchbloodsunvendetta1447]

Even then the jojos manga relase so slow. I saw a video where someone did the math and at this rate well catch up to the end of jojolion in like 2029

[@rainingintokyoo]

@@watchbloodsunvendetta1447 i assume they're really slow because of translation where they have to spend extra time trying to avoid copyright because of U.S laws, north of the fist is the same hardcover and theyre much quicker to come out

[@watchbloodsunvendetta1447]

@@rainingintokyoo but unlike the anime they dont avoid rhe copyright at all they just blatantly keep the band names with no censorship( which i dont understand why its a provlem in the anime but not manga) so i really doubt that. Mabye once they get to stone ocean they might have to edit the disney shit but there not even done with golden wind

[@goombaboomba593]

Its amazing how even after 1300+ chapters, Hajime no Ippo is still delivering. I doubt any publisher would withhold the task of publishing 133 volumes, but I really hope some one grabs it. Atleast maybe a digital official translation idk.

It still blows my mind how Kingdom doesn't have a legit english release of any kind meanwhile it's been in the Top 10 best selling manga for years and years which like makes me wonder why for real

[@dang-h7682]

Most likely due to the anime not being popular outside of Japan. S1 was mostly 3 D so many people didn’t give it a chance.

[@SamTheGumMan117]

[@dang-h7682]

@@SamTheGumMan117 S2 and S3 really did it justice. S1 was still good but the 1st couple episodes put a lot of people off because of the bad art and the excessive amount of 3D. Not that I blame them. I couldn’t expect them to hand draw thousands horses and troops fighting.

[@SamTheGumMan117]

[@Reralex]

I'm late but here in Belgium we have the french version of Kingdom, it got picked up by an independent licensor in 2018. I think that some English licensor could definitely take this fantastic series

[@omnibuscollector]

Edit: I know it’s stated in the video, but this is in regards to physical release, not digital. Not in the title because I didn’t want to clutter an already long title. Note that some information in this video in regards to number of volumes may be slightly off as I realized at least one (with Minami no Teio) that I either misspoke or found outdated information when putting together notes for this video. That information though is not the primary focus of this video so it should not deter from the intent of the video if something was slightly off. Thanks for understanding.

It’s insane that Hajime No ippo, kingdom don’t have a English released yet and we have them publish in French ( the French edition of kingdom is amazing 🙌🏻)

[@kstiemsma]

I was tempted (still am!) to start learning French to be able to read the Kingdom releases since I have some experience with Spanish. Nice to have at least one European release. It gives me a little bit of hope for English release with how recent the license was too 🙏

[@Erdaxel]

@@kstiemsma That’s a great way to mix a passion and learning a new language together, that’s how I learned English because I couldn’t wait for the French voice over of breaking bad ha-ha. As well a massive plus of learning French aside from those series having a release is we have a full release of Gintama 🙌🏻

Besides the VERY HYPE ones such as "Tokyo Revengers" and "Alice in borderlands") going to be a GREAT and EXSPENIVE YEAR for manga! 🤣🤣👌🏽

[@tolga_berk]

Not only do we get to learn information no where available, but also it’s so refreshing to hear “non popular” manga on youtube. Yes they might be bestsellers but how many English speaking youtubers have made videos about them. Thank you for the effort you put into these videos. Even if you would bring out content once a month, it would be worth the waiting!

[@Weeabruh]

Very nice list! Love that you viewed it in terms of sales. Hopefully one day manga interest in the US will reach the level of France where they are already reprinting stuff like Sidooh and Rokudenashi Blues in NEW editions like dude what 😭😭😭

[@dang-h7682]

One of the major reasons to note why Kingdom didn’t get an adaptation is that it took so long to get an anime adaption (6 years) and the anime wasn’t well received when it first came out. I remember back in 2012 being put off by the 3D animation of S1. I stuck around since the story was interesting but it was basically swept under the rug for the other titles coming out that season. On another sad note, when I first saw the title Kingdom on Netflix I was so excited only to realize it wasn’t an adaptation. ;-;

[@Rush-qc1wj]

I totally agree with you on Mitsuru Adachi!!! He is my favorite mangaka and his series are great. (Miyuki’s story doesn’t revolve around a sport) Lucky, I studied Japanese in Japan and picked up most of his series that were out at that time. Still need to complete “Mix” and “Q and A”.

[@sayfsayf4484]

There is also the one in the Edo period (i think) who is not a sport serie My favorite is still Katsu, its a shame it never got an anime since its a rare case with Rough of another sport than base-ball

[@pogonpop9575]

1st volume of Tsubasa is now beeing released in Poland, I think at the end of March. It is cool because it will be in HC when preordered

[@luffyluck]

It's very odd. A lot of the ones you mentioned are published in French (e.g., ippo, Kingdowm, captain tsubasa...), although the market is much smaller. That's why I end up having them in French. For some of them I simply bought them in French because the prices in English were horrible (Eyeshield 21).

[@omnibuscollector]

France actually has the largest market for manga second only to Japan

[@the_invincible8494]

More like the american market is much smaller

[@ItalianoAltrove]

It's incredible how North America is so far behind in the manga industry. Adachi is one of my favorite mangaka, and Rough one of my very first manga ever read! From where I am from, Italy, most of these title are available, and have been available, for a long time. I think publishers here need to wake up. Sampei and Captain Tsubasa were even a super-famous anime when I was in Primary School!

[@DarthAlgar5]

I NEED Sun-ken Rock to be printed in English

[@Davies46]

[@victoriapride7575]

[@Mustangcillo]

Love your content! Here in Spain Kochikame was published in a box set a few months ago! And Doraemon is highly popular! Even people outside the manga know it! Touch! was published many years ago but today it is out of print. Luckily I got that edition, haha I hope these mangas will be licensed in the US in the future! Greetings from Spain!

[@omnibuscollector]

I think box sets as initial releases are something that should be embraced more in the US. I’ve thought this for quite a while, actually. It could help in many circumstances for longer running titles to be published quickly.

[@sjalert813]

Your intro always makes me smile. Thank you :)

[@KenpachiSauga]

[@omniframe8612]

Ippo is my favorite Manga and my favorite anime and I'm surprised that you didn't mention Karate Baka Ichidai, its one of the most influential manga of all time. It was a major influence on the street fighter franchise. Also no mention Ashita No Joe, another influential manga and anime. Great video

[@iheartjlp]

I need Adachi’s TOUCH in English, and the sequel MIX. I used to read the fan scans and import the Japanese volumes to cover the guilt. SLOW STEP is another hidden gem in this catalog

I need this more than i need to know if Maya will actually get to be the Crimson Goddess. And i would absolutely love to read Shoot! I really enjoyed watching the anime as a kid.

[@chaouenmadrid339]

I’m surprised! In Spain, that’s a much smaller market, we had Touch and Crows. Now Kindom is being published (2 volumens right now), also Kochikame (a special boxset with 10 volumes), captain tsubasa and Adventures of Dai. Hope some of the other are relised soon.

[@The_Arcadian]

Thank you this video was a big help. I’m currently in the process of learning Japanese and needed some manga to read in Japanese to help the lessons sink in.

[@SkaterBoyMG]

Great video. I am however surprised some of those are actually release in Italian and not English. Usually for us when a series is localized in English is a good hint that it's coming to Italy after couples of months, interesting we have for example kingdom and US doesn't.

[@hanseravila]

Out of this I REALLY want this to get physicals: Crows, Kingdom, Hajime no Ippo, Baki, Gintama, Rokudenashi Blues, Captain Tsubasa (really like the anime as a kid, since maybe is what made me fall in love with the sport), Kunikumon, Kochikame, Golgo 13 and Doraemon (also watch it as a kid and it was so fun). But I'm also intrigued by the other series you mention that I have never heard of.

[@jamescandeletta6868]

A complete English release of all the Grappler Baki series is all I want out of life. I know there are digital releases of the second series. Baki is the one series where I love it so much I consider studying Japanese so just I can buy the whole series in Japanese and be able to read it that way.

[@zorofan259]

I loved this video. It was extremely informational and interesting. I'd say the top 3 series from this list I want published are Kingdom, Hajime no Ippo and Rokudenashi Blues. Keep up the great work and I'm really looking forward to the next one.

[@justmason7672]

I really enjoyed this. About 8-9 years ago I did a similar search and it's what caused me to find and read Touch and collect Black Jack which is what slowly pulled back into collecting manga. To this day I'm still surprised so few of Adachi's works have been published in English. With the popularity of manga right now and Dragon Quest being released. (my copy arrives today) I believe any popular title could be reprinted. Aside from Touch I've always want to see Yawara! printed in English. That is nuts that Demon Slayer is in the top 10! I didn't realize that at all.

[@ShonenCesar]

This was such a great video, it was super interesting to hear about all these best selling series that I didn’t even know existed but the two that I’m very familiar with and pray get an English print at some point is definitely Kingdom and Hajime No Ippo! Such great manga that the English audience deserves to enjoy physically!

[@TheHawkEyeFemto]

I want Kingdom and Hajime no Ippo to be available in English in whatever format. It's such a shame that they are not available.

[@LaurensNerdyFunStuff]

[@zeji2801]

highly recommend checking out bad boys , has a slow start but it ramps up and the MC is one of the best in delinquent manga while having a fun cast

[@cyclonusg1251]

One that that I always hope hope to see is Ushio and Tora, I was always surprised that the anime a few years ago didn't push that. I'd also like to see more of the Gundam franchise translated because there's just so much of it out there, especially considering that Bandai has really been pushing for global availability for the different different anime series, it'd be nice to see more of the manga/novels

Well football has not been that popular in USA, things have changed since the 2014 world cup but still 2. From world youth onwards,the author Yoichi Takahashi used the brands of many national teams and clubs without permission,so I they try to print them outside of Japan those clubs and national federations could basically ask for a cut of royalties for the use of their brands
