International Shonen Jump Sales Figures
At the top of the 2/1 entries at Manga News Service is a brief report about the sales of the various versions of Shueisha's Shonen Jump magazine. The figures include a 3.2 million number for Japan and a 350,000 "annual circulation" for the American version. Can anyone tell me if that 3.2 million and the 350,000 figures are comparable sales or if one's a sum total and one's a monthly or something similar? Because the Japanese figure seems high to me while the US figures seems slightly high for a monthly, way low for an aggregate. The article also reports a Norwegian version debuts next month and mentions in passing the German version launched a year before the American, which is news to me.
