The weekly Manga sales chart has been finally released by Oricon for the week between December 23 and December 29. You can find them here. A visit to them you must!
The curtain rolled as Luffy made a grand entrance to the week grabbing the top spot for the week with a total 883,228 copies sold in Japan, nationwide. ONE PIECE is set to continue its retainment of the top spot going into the week after. The series is followed closely by Chika Umino’s 3-gatsu no Lion at number 2 with a more humble total number of sales. Other new titles included Kinou Nani Tabeta? (No. 4) and Kuroshitsuji (No. 5) while Kimetsu no Yaiba continues its relentless run as it ends the year on, as expected, great note.
