  1. Kimetsu no Yaiba, a series with 18 volumes, is all of the top 18 best selling manga. Next week volume 19 will be out, I wonder how much it’s going to sell…

    Thank you for posting these, by the way, I check this blog every week.

    1. Actually, volume 19 (Japanese Version) is already out!
      I think it is going to top the chart, that is for sure. As for how much, it might just sell as much as vol. 18 did when it came out.
      When it did, it sold 950,000 copies. If all goes well, it could do more. Since it has no direct competition releasing on the 4th of February, nothing is going to hamper its sales.

      Your most welcome! And I am extremely grateful for your visit! Thank you~ 🙂

      1. Of course it came out on the 2nd, but I meant that it’ll be on next week’s Oricon. Poor phrasing on my part!

        I honestly don’t see a way of it only selling as much as 18. Hundreds of thousands of people have been buying 18 every week since then, and getting into the series, and most of them they’re going to be buying 19 on day one. (Also, personally, I feel 19 demands to be read more than 18, since it’s closer to the story’s climax.) I think it’ll sell way more. I mean, 18 sold WAY more than 17, and the the upward swing doesn’t seem to be stopping, so I am definitely willing to bet 19 will be a noticeable up swing.

        Anyway, as I said thanks for posting these! It’s easier to look at them here since with Oricon it’s annoying to navigate and look a few weeks back, and here everything is organized.

      2. Aha! No worries, I guess I misunderstood what you meant too! XD

        In that sense you are absolutely right. Perhaps this is a good chance for the series to sell more than a million? Since the upward trend has been relentless thus far, which makes it quite plausible.

        Though, I hope the spread of the virus won’t adversely affect the sales. It has for others – Nintendo Switch.

        Your most welcome! And thank you so much. I enjoyed the conversation too! Please have a good day and stay safe! 🙂
