Manga Anthology Circulations:

The Magazine Guide 2005 Edition has been released. It contains datas on 645 magazines from 78 publishing companies in Japan. The guide lists each magazine's format, forms of publication, dates, price, etc., and each magazine is categorized by its genre. Moreover, each entry includes a brief description of the magazine from its Editor-in-Chief.
Ultimatum has compiled a brief list of some popular Anthologies and their circulations from 2004 to 2005, below is a translation of the chart:
Manga Anthology Circulations 04-05
It can be clearly seen that the circulation of many magazines has decreased between 2004-2005, especially Weekly Shounen Magazine, Morning, and Ribon. Note that the numbers are based on the issues published, which does not reflect the actual sales number.
