Japan Top Weekly Manga Ranking: January 18, 2021 ~ January 24, 2021

Although sales have slowed down for Jujutsu Kaisen, its entire catalogue (except Jujutsu Kaisen 0) still recorded copies sold above the 1 million mark. The week between January 18 to January 24 saw the series total copies sold at 1,331,833, down 24.24% week-on-week. Kimetsu no Yaiba is making a comeback with almost half of all its volumes on the chart with Volume 11 recording nearly 60% growth week-on-week. The week’s chart looks more like a battlefield between the two.

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 is all accessible via Oricon right here.

Due to lack of heavyweight titles, only one new release made on the chart for the week, at number 9 is Skip Beat! Volume 9 with 89,407 copies sold. The full list is as follows:

    1. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to the full chart, so I have no idea exactly how much it sold 🙁

      Since the cutoff is 75,000 copies, and based on previous data, sales tend to drop to around 70,000 – 60,000 copies, we can assume that it is within that range.
