Oricon, a data compiling company specializing in providing data for the Japanese music/book industry, today announced the 2016 best-selling book annual rankings, which were compiled between November 23, 2015 and November 20, 2016. As expected, Eiichiro Oda's One Piece dominates the yearly manga sales ranking for nine consecutive years since 2008 by selling 12.314 million copies in total. However, the yearly sales is down 9% from the last year's 14.102 million copies. Its best-selling volume was the 80th released on December 28, 2015, and has sold 2.981 million copies in Japan.

Coming in the second is Yusei Matsui's Ansatsu Kyoshitsu/Assassination Classroom that jumped up from the last year's fourth, selling 6.887 million copies during the period. The school comedy/suspense manga ended its serialization in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump in March. Its final 21st volume tankobon was released in July and has sold 830,176 copies so far. The last year's second top-selling title, Nakaba Suzuki's The Seven Deadly Sins dropped to 6th with a huge 50% sales down, while

Kohei Horikoshi's Boku no Hero Academia/My Hero Academia and ONE and Yusuke Murata's One-Punch

Man newly join the top 10.

In addition, Makoto Shinkai's Kimi no Na wa./your name. novel, based on his anime feature film of the

same name, tops the bunko chart of 2016, selling an impressive 1,196,994 copies.
