Japan Top Weekly Manga Ranking: December 28, 2020 ~ January 3, 2021

The latest Spy x Family volume was certainly a hit as sales reaches an all-time high with 537,558 copies sold in the first week. This is an overall improvement of 33.53% from the debut sales of Volume 5, which came out back in August 2020. Viz Media currently has four of its volumes under its belt, with Volume 4 now up for pre-order.

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! All the data you find below can be accessed via Oricon right here (Manga) and here (series).

Other than that, Kimetsu no Yaiba‘s sales saw most of its volumes down for the week while Volume 23 and Gaiden recorded a jump in sales. Jujutsu Kaisen is nowhere to be seen in the week’s chart. Without further ado, the full list is as follows:
