The following is a list of the best-selling Japanese [[manga]] series to date in terms of the number of collected {{Transliteration|ja|[[tankōbon]]}} volumes sold. All series in this list have at least 20 million copies in circulation. This list is limited to Japanese manga and does not include [[manhwa]], [[manhua]] or [[original English-language manga]]. The series are listed according to the highest sales or circulation (copies in print) estimate of their collected {{Transliteration|ja|tankōbon}} volumes as reported in reliable sources unless indicated otherwise. Ties are arranged in alphabetical order.

Note that most manga series are first serialized and sold as part of [[manga magazines]], before being sold separately as individual collected {{Transliteration|ja|tankōbon}} volumes. This list only includes the number of collected {{Transliteration|ja|tankōbon}} volumes sold.

==Collected tankōbon volumes==
