General & Others One piece is only a best seller because it's long

OP is getting more sales due to FOMO and timing, if Naruto and Bleach were still a thing I think OP wouldn't get as much attention as it's getting now, it's like the only golden goose shitting bad turd and inside that turd there is gold
One piece was outselling Naruto and Bleach by Leaps and Bounds when they where all three airing at once

Yeah Naruto was a bit more popular in the west thanks to the anime and Ninja's being more popular than Pirates especially during the early to mid 2000s but when it comes to Manga sales op was always consistently on top

And taking into account the length of one piece and how toxic the fan base can be these days new fans are a dime a dozen

Yeah probably is because of that add to the fact that many people grow up watching it same shit we can say about inuyasha or dragon ball though those mangas already ended
Though conan is one year older than one piece it isn't that popular because "anime fans" didn't grow up watching it and they are not interested in kind of thriller/mistery manga
Im not in the because is too long is going to be a great manga team and this the perfect summary for op but conan for the other hand imo is better

One Piece was best selling selling manga for 6 out of its 10 first years. In fact OP had more sales per volume in its earlier years than today
From 1997 to 2010 one piece was not up there, even slam dunk was doing way better, only times It was popular was from marineford to Zou/start of WCI.

And I the last 8 years it was not even up there, as in from end of WCI to Elbaf

Not quite, Case Closed started in 1994.

Also, Case Closed has spent A LOT of time dicking around one-off cases instead of the main story arc of investigating the Black Organization.
December 2017 got this panel

Everyone including me was sure, it was finally beginning of the end

And here we are, 8.5 years later and the plot hasn't progressed that much. None of the BO members in the picture have been taken down yet.

That popularity was just highly concentrated in Japan though where manga sales at the time, were much more accessible than other times worldwide. Anime gapped manga by far in terms of popularity. So a majority of the fanbase wasn't even reading the manga let alone buying it. Naruto was much more popular worldwide as anime was the biggest medium. Even manga wise, I don't think OP surpassed Naruto in international sales till 2024 LMAO a decade after Naruto ended.
