9. Overlord IV Vol. 2 (NEW)

Analysis
Overlord IV Volume 2’s 3,116 copies are indeed lower than Volume 1, however, this is due to its shorter days of sales of which had it sold two days longer, copies sold may have been more than Volume 1’s 3,236 copies. Still, when compared to its past seasons, its latest season’s disc performances are still not as encouraging, particularly against Season 2 and Season 3.
