Wikipedia excerpt on Hana Yori Dango:
As of September 2005, Hana Yori Dango boasted 48 million volumes published, good for second place all-time, but following the smash-hit TV dramatization, expanded its publication to 54 million total volumes, becoming the best-selling shoujo manga in Japanese history. Also, in the issue of "Margaret" magazine that went on sale on December 9th 2005, the author announced the start of a sequel some time in 2006.
