Eiichiro Oda is One Of the Best Selling Authors in History
The 7th Best Selling Author
Eiichiro Oda is the famous mangaka who is currently still working on his series, One Piece. Oda’s One Piece has done incredible numbers, currently being the most-sold manga in history, and by far.
However,Oda isn’t just competing on the manga side, his sales are so incredible that he is able to compete with the best-selling authors in history.
In fact, right now, Oda is ranked as the 7th best-selling author in history, being the only one on that list that has a manga, and not a novel. Oda, in the last few years, beat JK Rowling with her huge Harry Potter series.
The current sales estimate for One Piece is over 530 million. And, One Piece has still not ended, so this sales figure is only going to go up, especially as the final arc starts and the backlog sales commence. One Piece could easily go over 700 million by the time it ends, and more than that afterward, as its popularity will not necessarily decrease.
In that way,Oda could potentially break into the top 5 best-selling authorsin the world. There are definitely a few authors that would be pretty impossible to surpass, like Agatha Christie or Shakespeare, butOne Pieceand Oda will definitely have their spot in the Hall of Fame of best-selling single authors.

TheOne Pieceseries itself experienced its highest sales ever during the Summit War, when the Marineford arc was drawn. All these exciting events made the manga sell unprecedentedly, and from what fans know, this will be nothing compared to the Final War to come which will conclude the series. Of course, One Piece projects will likely continue, such as prequels, sequels, and other anime adaptations. These all help the manga.
