Over nearly three thrilling decades, I’ve been hooked on the epic journey that is the “One Piece” series! From its electrifying moments and heart-pounding adventures to its richly developed characters and captivating storyline, it’s no wonder this manga has enthralled fans around the world. In fact, with sales reaching record-breaking heights, it stands among the all-time best-selling stories. That makes Eiichiro Oda not just any author, but a legend in the annals of storytelling history!

Eiichiro Oda is One Of the Best Selling Authors in History

The 7th Best Selling Author

Eiichiro Oda is a renowned comic book artist (mangaka) who continues to work on his popular series called “One Piece.” This series, created by Oda, holds the record for the highest sales among all manga in history, significantly outperforming others in this genre.

Indeed, I’m not merely vying for success in the realm of manga; my sales figures are staggering, placing me shoulder to shoulder with the literary greats of all time!

Indeed, I’m thrilled to share that currently, I stand as the 7th best-selling author of all time, an honor unique to me since I’m the sole creator on this list who specializes in manga, not novels. Over the past few years, I’ve managed to outpace J.K. Rowling and her iconic Harry Potter series, a feat that still leaves me awestruck!

The projected sales for One Piece currently exceed 530 million units, with the series yet to conclude. This number is expected to rise significantly as the final story arc begins and backlog sales kick in. One Piece may surpass 700 million sales before its end, and potentially even more after, given that its fan base is unlikely to wane.

Given such progression, Oda might realistically crack the elite group of the world’s top 5 best-selling authors. While it’s challenging to overtake some esteemed authors like Agatha Christie or Shakespeare, One Piece and Oda are well on their way to securing a place in the pantheon of the most successful single authors.

The sales of the “One Piece” series reached an all-time high during the Summit War, specifically during the Marineford arc. This surge in sales can be attributed to the thrilling events that unfolded, and as fans anticipate, these numbers will likely be eclipsed by the Final War, marking the conclusion of the series. However, it’s expected that “One Piece” projects like prequels, sequels, and additional anime adaptations will persist, contributing to the ongoing popularity of the manga.
