Je ne crois pas, les amateurs de manga ricains, quand je me balade sur des blogs, ns envient au niveau de la variété en générale. En termes de volumes de tirages, pas de doutes (les mag US tirent déjà à plus de 100 000 en général), la taille des marchés n'est pas la même. Mais en terme de variété on est les mieux logé, le lectorat français est plus varié et sa demande aussi. Je me balade assez souvent sur les sites espagnols, US, Italiens ou All pour en être encore persuadé.
Quelques quotes chopées à la volée sur des sites >
While manga sales have grown rapidly in the U.S., sales in France, which make up 12% of a much larger market for comic books, are seven times larger. On the other hand manga sales in Germany are currently about half those in the U.S.

Un autre quote plus récent chopé sur comicpress et qui donne une idée des volumes, chiffres à raprrocher des tirages à 60 000 ex. ou plus d'un Naruto en France >
An explanation of the data can be found in "A Look at Comics & Graphic Novel Chart Toppers: 2005-2006"
"In 2005, four volumes of Fullmetal moved more than 167,000, and in 2006, all 8 original volumes have sold 181,000 combined." (Source: "The Book Standard," A Look at Comics & Graphic Novel Chart Toppers: 2005-2006, August 18, 2006?By Patrick J. Eves)
The circulation in 2006 isn't out yet.
Between 2005-2006, the 8 volumes of FMA have sold 348,000 copies combined, which means each volume has sold approximately 43,500 copies. In the U.S., a "hit" usually means the title has sold over 10,000 copies, so 43,500 is a considerable number in the U.S. market.
Allez, c'estla fête au quote >
Just when you think the manga market can’t grow anymore, more companies and their ‘nitch’ properties make themselves known. We’ve got a little ways to go: in 2002 Japan exported 36.1 billion yen in manga sales to France and 4.7 billion yen in the U.S. compared with 520 billion yen within Japan. (Translation: In 2002, about $60 Mil USD in the US, compared to $400 Mil USD in France)

Total US sales were $330 mil for 2006, with between $170 and $220 mil coming from manga. So now we can say 51% and 66% of total graphic novel sales were manga. In 2005, ICV2 presented a figure of $145 million generated in 2005 manga sales from a market size of $295 mil, a percentage of 49% of the total market. The market for manga has grown between 14% and 34% in one year. Wow, is that big: manga is out pacing the growth of the the rest of graphic novels by 2 to 1.
Marché du Manga
en France
près de 460 millions d'euros en 2005
45% du chiffre d'affaires du marché de la Bande Dessinée en France
Croissance annuelle moyenne de 22%
Près d'une bande dessinée sur deux édité en France est un manga
Apparement, même en terme de chiffre d'affaire la France est devant... On aurait quand même acheté, au cours des innombrables rééditions, plus de 17 millions d'ex. de Dragon Ball.
