The lack of releases is surely palpable for the week between April 12 to April 18 as only three new titles made their ways onto Oricon’s Top 10 weekly chart. The list this time around is led by Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle – Rhyme Anima‘s fourth volume at 6,186 copies sold. This is thus far, the lowest debut sales the series has ever hit. Nevertheless, the sales of its DVDs allow it to see number of copies sold above 8,000 copies. That however, is still the weakest opening it has ever had among the four volumes. Do note that the volume only had five days of sales.

It is thanks to the amazing folks 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 some love! Plus, all the data you find below is accessible here (Blu-ray) and here (DVD) via Oricon.
Likewise, Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Raihousha-hen‘s latest volume that is placed 2nd for the week also recorded the fewest number of copies sold among the five volumes. This is the first time the title has seen its debut sales dip below 5,000 copies. Volume 1 remains the best selling thus far. Like Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle – Rhyme Anima, it too had only five days of sales.

Another new title on the chart is 6th for the week, Kamen Rider Zero-One: Short Anime – Everyone’s Daily Life. Though, it did not make onto Oricon’s Top 20 Blu-ray sales chart. The following week, 19th of April to 25th of April will see a better list. Titles such as Jujutsu Kaisen‘s, A3, Haikyuu!!: To the Top and etc. will be coming out. Yet, it is the end of the month of April that would be the busiest. Without further ado, the full list is as follows:
