Kimetsu no Yaiba: Yuukaku-hen makes its debut once again at the top of the chart with its 3rd volume selling 10,814 copies in the first 5 days, and including sales of its DVDs at 5,631 copies, it sees a healthy 16,445 copies sold, though its debut sales performance is certainly on the slide. Volume 1 made a very strong impression in its first 5 days to close at 30,167 copies sold, but that was soon followed by a 41.37% fall in sales for Volume 2 which recorded 17,688 copies sold between March 28 and April 3. Volume 3 has sold 7.03% fewer than Volume 2 making it the weakest opening thus far.
Like we have observed through previous charts before, the end of the month tends to be filled with a lot of new releases. The same can be seen on the week’s chart. At Number 2, you will find Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru’s 2nd volume at 8,302 copies sold for its Blu-rays while its DVDs netted 1,033 copies, all in their first 5 days. Unfortunately, this is slightly less than the 10,130 copies for Volume 1 by 7.85%.
The sequel title to the 2018 TV Animation series, Dakaretai Otoko 1-i ni Odosarete Imasu. is 3rd on the list with its Spain-hen (Spain Arc) film at 4,431 copies sold in the first 5 days and it is followed by another film that serves as a sequel to the Kiniro Mosaic: Pretty Days movie released back in 2016 called “Thank You!!” at 4,002 copies sold in the first 5 days for its Deluxe Edition. Its Regular Edition however, failed to place a spot on the chart. Akebi-chan no Sailor-fuku Volume 1 makes a good debut with 3,531 copies sold in the first 5 days, if you are interested, I did an unboxing video of it right here, so do check it out! And then, there is Shuumatsu no Harem Volume 2 at 3,406 copies sold, up by 22.75% from Volume 1’s 2,631 copies sold debut back in March 2022.
It is thanks to the wonderful people over at Oricon 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 Oricon right here (Blu-ray) and here (DVD).
At Number 7 is Eighty-Six Volume 8, ending its disc run with its best opening ever at 2,782 copies sold in its first 5 days. Note that its DVDs failed to chart on the Top 20, but that should put its copies sold a tad bit above 3,000 copies. Its sales performance started off on a shaky ground when it debuted 1,703 copies for Volume 5, and then proceeded to record a small drop for Volume 6 before climbing at a small pace of 2.94% for Volume 7. Its final volume is an upgrade over Volume 7 by 38.96% and has sold more than Volumes 5 and 6 by 38.79% and 40.76% respectively.
Yuukoku no Moriarty: Yuri no Tsuioku is 8th on the list with 2,419 copies sold in the first 5 days and the 1,262 copies sold it has for DVDs nudges its total copies sold to above 3,681 for the week. The Boss Baby: Family Business is right below at 2,293 copies and finally, World Trigger 3rd Season is 10th for its 1st volume. It could not make it onto the Top 20 chart, but it still manages to sell nearly 2,000 copies.
In terms of estimated revenue, note that the Top 3 titles are the same as the ones for copies sold. Kimetsu no Yaiba: Yuukaku-hen Volume 3’s output of 16,445 copies sold has put it ahead of others and as such, allows it to accumulate 101,261,500 yen (≈785.02 thousand USD) in sales for the week. Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru is 2nd at 64,312,000 yen (≈498.57 thousand USD) whereas Dakaretai Otoko 1-i ni Odosarete Imasu. Movie: Spain-hen is 3rd at 55,986,000 yen (≈434.02 thousand USD). Also note that in the US Dollar sense, revenue will project a weaker number as the Japanese Yen is its weakest since 2002 (Source: here)
