Riportiamo di seguito la classifica delle vendite semestrale per i titoli manga sul territorio giapponese. La classifica è stata stilata secondo le rilevazioni effettuate dall’autorevole testata ORICON. La classifica è interessante in quanto ci permette di fare delle previsioni su quali titoli potrebbero essere acquistati e portati in Italia e a dimostrazione di ciò basta vedere i titoli presenti in classifica per rendersi conto che non sono pochi i titoli che già conosciamo, ed è proprio per questo motivo che ogni settimana vi terremo aggiornati sull’evoluzione di questa classifica. I dati si riferiscono al periodo che va dal 23 Novembre 2015 al 22 Maggio 2016.
