The start of the month of October presents a weak turnout for releases that started their broadcasts in the Summer of 2021. Uramichi Oniisan Volume 2 (No. 5), Kanojo mo Kanojo Volume 1 (No. 7) and Seirei Gensouki Volume 1 (No. 9) are all on the chart, however fail to sell enough to place them on the Top 20 Oricon Blu-ray sales chart. Note that the cutoff on the Top 20 belongs to Kimetsu no Yaiba Movie: Mugen Ressha-hen‘s 646 copies sold, and as such, these titles have sold below the amount.
It is thanks to the awesome 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 lots of love! Plus, all the data you find below is accessible via Oricon right here (Blu-ray) and here (DVD).
But of course, the chart is not too bad, especially for the release that tops the week’s chart. Tokyo Revengers both Blu-ray and DVD copies sold went on to sell a great 3,618 copies and 4,146 copies respectively. This is the first time the number of copies sold for its DVDs to have overtaken copies sold for its Blu-ray since the 1st volume was released. In addition, the total amount it made for the week is by far its best, and improving as much as 41.87% over Volume 4’s 4,513 copies sold. Note that all are for 5 days of sales. Its final volume is set to hit shelves this coming November the 4th, and with its current trajectory, we may see another climb.

Coming in 2nd, would be Summer Season’s Otome Game no Hametsu Flag shika Nai Akuyaku Reijou ni Tensei shiteshimatta… X Volume 2 at 2,059 copies sold. Copies sold marks a small rise over Volume 1’s 2,013 copies back in September, both having 5 days of sales. Still, this is nowhere near copies sold achieved by its first season, where all of the volumes at the time of their releases hit above 4,000 copies sold.

As for Blu-ray sales, the number of copies sold for Tokyo Revengers Volume 5 allows the volume to reach approximately 31 million yen (~280,000 USD) in sales for the week. If sales of its DVDs are taken into account, that should be roughly 63 million yen (~562,000 USD) in total. Love Live! comes in 2nd while Kimetsu no Yaiba film’s Regular Edition still doing well. Both Blu-ray and DVD copies sold should allow it to bring in around 6 million yen (~56,000 USD) for the week.
