The manga industry's popularity has been on the rise for a very long time, and it will continue to increase for the foreseeable future. This is because of the unique stories and worlds that they bring to life. Additionally, they are rather different from western comics.
As more and more people are drawn towards the medium, the demand for consumption also grows. Since manga authors cannot always create new series, they branch out. They greenlight anime and movie adaptations and various merchandise. As a result, the revenue generated by that particular series skyrockets. With that in mind, here are 8 manga franchises that have earned a fortune.
P.S: This list only contains franchises that began as a manga series.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has been the talk of the internet with the Steel Ball Run anime. The manga series has been iconic for many reasons, like amazing art, highly detailed characters, and some of the most fashionable clothing in all of manga. The story of each part is connected to the previous one, but it keeps things fresh with new characters as well as returning characters and a unique power system. The franchise is valued around $9.8 billion.
Demon Slayer is one of the most popular manga franchises, and among the few that could go toe-to-toe with One Piece in terms of popularity. At this point in time, the series has 8-10 billion in revenue, and it is quite impressive, as it was released back in 2016. The series follows the story of a boy named Tanjiro Kamado, whose parents are killed by demons and his sister is infected. He then vows vengeance on those who became the source of his suffering.
Kochikame is a beloved manga series that has been going on for 40 years and has massed a total of 201 volumes, which amounts to 1960 chapters. It was created by the legendary Osamu Akimoto, who put a smile on children's faces and has inspired many manga authors with his work. These include series like One Piece, Demon Slayer, Black Clover, My Hero Academia, and much more. It has amassed a total of $16.3 billion in revenue.
Sailor Moon follows the story of a normal high school girl who is granted tremendous power, which would make Goku envious of her. The manga catapulted into popularity with the anime adaptation, which ultimately paved the way for future collaborations. In the years since the anime's debut, Sailor Moon has been part of many fashion lines, toys, and makeup. The manga sales pales in comparison to what the collaborations work generated in terms of money. Its lifetime revenue is somewhere between $13.9 billion and $14.3 billion.
