The Special Edition of the volume places 2nd with 70,137 copies, and considering the price of each volume, it has certainly boost the title’s revenue as evident in the Top Weekly Series chart where the title comes in 3rd at 143.0 million yen. This is certainly a better outcome than sales of Volume 12, however, do note that the title’s past volumes at one point hit above 200,000 copies sold, in particular Volume 6 to Volume 9.

The series is clearly struggling as it is not able to produce the same result as Volume 41 and the volumes that came before. While a correction is possible in Week 2, number of copies sold may still not be enough to see a similar performance the likes of Volume 30 nor Volume 37. The series received three Anime seasons adapted by studio Madhouse, and Volume 47 is noted to be the volume featuring the climax of the series.
