In Case You Like Me Were Wondering About One Piece Sales Vs. Asterix

This article at the French-language comics news clearinghouse ActuaBD.com suggests that the performance of current world comics sales champion One Piece does indeed surpass the initial sales and initial printing figures enjoyed by the highest-selling Asterix albums. I'm not sure that it answers total sales over years and years and years -- but the initial rush to sales seems to clearly fall to the manga. If I'm reading the figures correctly, the latest volume in the Eiichiro Oda pirate series sold 1.8 million copies of its 3 million-plus print run in a single week just past. I'm not sure what to make of these huge-sellers, although if either of these were a North American phenomenon we'd be flipping out about them.
