While

Demon Slayer

shakes up the manga and anime market in Japan, and

One Piece

continues its grand slam with 1,000 chapters (and it's not over), the best-selling manga in France in 2020 is a " old ”title, no less essential: 

Naruto

 !

Masashi Kishimoto's series has always been a French exception, as confirmed by its success last year, with more than 1.2 million copies sold, announces its publisher Kana, twice more than in 2019 and the equivalent one tome sold every 30 seconds.

Not bad for a manga finished in 2016.

Volume 1 is even at the top of sales for 2020, with "sales in bookstores increased tenfold in December at the end of the second confinement", explains Kana.

Masashi Kishimoto can breathe, him whose last creation

Samurai 8

failed, with five small volumes and then leaves.

He has since taken over

Boruto

, the manga on the son of ... Naruto.
