Here’s a list of the bestselling manga of all-time along with a list other recent hits and favs all just waiting for you in Libby!

Let’s dive into those bestsellers:

One Piece by Eiichiro Oda

516 million copies sold
Perfect if you like a swashbuckling spectacular 🏴‍☠️

This story follows Monkey D. Luffy and his pirate crew, the Straw Hat Pirates, as they explore the Grand Line in search of the One Piece to become the next King of Pirates. Luffy is more than just your ordinary pirate—because he (unintentionally) ate a Devil Fruit, his body is now rubber-like. Along his quest for the One Piece, he meets many other pirate captains and learns what abilities the Devil Fruit has given them.

This series has been running since July 1997 and has over 102 volumes in English.

Case Closed by Gosho Aoyama

270 million copies sold
Perfect for mystery lovers and armchair detectives 🕵🏻‍♀️

I love Case Closed. This series follows Shinichi Kudo, a high school detective who was investigating a mysterious criminal organization. He was ambushed and caught by one of the syndicate members, and in an attempt to kill him, they force-fed him an experimental drug. The drug doesn’t kill Kudo, but it does rapidly shrink his body until he ends up the size of an elementary schooler. The series is made up of whodunnits as Kudo works to solve crimes that he happens upon while also trying to take down the mysterious crime syndicate and get his old body back.

This series has been running since January 1994 and has over 100 volumes in English.

Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama

Perfect for lovers of epic quests and superhuman battles 🦸‍♂️

You’ve probably heard of the TV series Dragon Ball Z, but before that, there was Dragon Ball. This book introduces us to naïve, young, monkey-tailed Goku, who’s life is forever changed when he meets Bulma on her quest to collect seven Dragon Balls. He joins her quest to collect the Dragon Balls and hopefully see Bulma’s wish granted.
