The new report confirms Attack on Titan has sold 110 million copies to date which puts it just below JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. This newest tally pushed Attack on Titan over other hits like Astro Boy, Fist of the North Star, and more.
Of course, there are still plenty of titles pulling ahead of Attack on Titan. Asides from Hirohiko Araki's classic series, other titles like Bleach, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, and Slam Dunk have all sold more. And of course, no manga on Earth comes close to matching the list's top spot thanks to One Piece. Eiichiro Oda's iconic manga has sold more than 515 million copies since it began.
