COMIC ZIN features five new releases out of the eleven titles on the list for the week between December 27 to January 2, though it will be hard for these releases to go up against Jujutsu Kaisen which is making a return. Sitting in 1st on the list is the 22nd volume of Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio by Ark Performance. The series was adapted into a 12-episode Anime series by SANZIGEN, and a special parody series titled, Ars Nova – Kirikumas. In 2015, it received a recap film of the 12-episode TV Anime series, then a sequel called, Cadenza the same year. Performance has been rough for its Manga with its latest appearance was for Volume 21 at 31,805 copies sold, Volume 18 at 41,179 copies in October 2019. Volumes 19 and 20 failed to place on the Top 30 Oricon sales charts. Currently, it has up to Volume 19 officially out in English with Volume 20 slated for an October release this year. Feel free to check out Chapter 1 available here in Japanese.
It is thanks to the wonderful folks over at Natalie.mu that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis, so be sure to head over to their site here and show them lots of love! Plus, all the data you find below is accessible via Natalie.mu right here.
Skip all the way to Number 5 is Kine-san no Hitori de Kinema Volume 9 which missed out on the chart the week before. Jumping over to Number 7 is Kenta Ishizaka’s Zatsu Tabi: That’s Journey Volume 6 which has ranked quite often on COMIC ZIN’s chart. The series is published in KADOKAWA’s Dengeki Maoh’s magazine and began serialization in 2019. You can follow Suzugamori, the series’ protagonist as she travels around japan by visiting the 1st chapter viewable here for free in Japanese.

At Number 9 is Kyou mo Curry desu ka?, a fairly new series that began serialization in 2020. The story centres around China Kurobe who is at the age of 18, attending college for the first time in Tokyo. And as the title of the Manga suggests, she loves curry. The Takeshobo title’s 1st chapter can be accessed for free via the link right here so do check it out!

And of course, Yuru Yuri is a title familiar by many. Its 21st volume is placed 10th for the week, but it has so far not made onto Oricon’s Top 30 Manga sales charts. It last made its appearance for its Blu-ray which was ranked 4th back in November 2019 at 1,126 copies sold. Ichijinsha is publishing the title and it received a slew of Anime adaptations from 2011 up to the latest in 2011 titled, Yuru Yuri,. You can check out its Manga’s official website right here in Japanese.
Finally, we have Heterogenia Linguistic: Ishuzoku Gengogaku Nyuumon Volume 4 sharing the spot with Yuru Yuri at Number 10. In the Manga, a novice linguist, Hakaba is appointed to take over his mentor’s research in the Netherworld (source: Yen Press). There are up to 36 chapters available in Japanese with the 1st chapter available here for free. The title also has up to three volumes published in English at the moment. So do check it out!
