Number of copies sold for Kimetsu no Yaiba‘s Volume 23 have shown a dramatic rise as it recorded almost 60% growth ending the week with 587,016 copies sold. Nevertheless, it was Kimetsu no Yaiba Gaiden that was the MVP for the week, climbing as much as 74.39% from 78,607 copies it sold the previous week to 306,924 copies. The rest of the series’ volumes have recorded minute drops in sales, however the amount of copies sold for each volume remained strong.
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 lots of love! The data you find below can all be found through Oricon right here (Manga) and here (Series).
Apart from that, there are three new releases which made their debuts in the chart with Kingdom‘s Volume 60 at number 2. Sales for the 60th volume is modestly better than the 59th when it came out back in September — it sold 392,632 copies then. It remains to be seen if it can maintain the number of copies sold above 200,000 copies sold the following which if it does, will give it a slight advantage over 59th. At number 8 is Golden Kamuy‘s Volume 24, like Kingdom, has seen better debut-to-debut sales. Compared to Volume 23’s performance in its first week, Volume 24 has reported slightly better growth. At number 9 is Detective Conan Keisatsu Gakkou Hen Wild Police Story with 101,623 copies. That said, Top 11 to 30 is pretty scary. The full list is as follows:
