The Japanese list posted some way earlier on was more interesting and enriching. It reflected better actual popularity and the manga trends going on. This one seems as if they asked from the guys in my school where they just swear on Bleach, Naruto, DBZ. U_U
In fact, I found this list a bit f**ked up. They just added the sales of 2011 to older sales of manga - making it an overall all-time list. Obviously, that's why Yu-Gi-Oh and DBZ are still on that list. It doesn't really reflect the real popularity and ratings right now. In fact, in 2009, I checked another list like this one for manga sales and guess what - The Top 5 was like that!
1 Naruto
2 Bleach
3 Vampire Knight
4 Black Butler
5 Death Note
The newer sales are too far away to make a big difference on the list, thus making it pretty unreliable unfortunately. The Japanese Sales list reflect the actual trend of what's going on and you pretty much see how much the plot change, the ending of some series or the arrival of new animes affected the manga sales. So yeah,
