Tokyo Revengers Volume 23 overtakes Kingdom Volume 62 the week between July 19 to July 25 to see 181,101 copies sold for the volume in Japan. The two-week sales for the volume has now reached 403,570 copies sold! Tokyo Revengers volumes also dominate the list as can be seen from Number 8 to Number 24, and sales have improved week-on-week, however not all volumes are accounted for. Volume 1 and Volume 2 are missing from the chart. Total revenue for the series for the week stands at 713.5 million yen (~$6,515,789).
Good news for Kingdom Volume 62 though. Sales on Week 2 for its 61st volume were very rough to see it falling to just 501,865 copies sold. The lowest it has ever achieved among its latest eight volumes at the time. Copies sold for Volume 62 has shown a sign of recovery, improving 4.30% over Volume 61’s to see its total two-week sales at 524,417 copies. Before coming to any conclusion, we should look into how the series perform on Week 3, so stay tune for next week.

It is thanks to the wonderful 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! Plus, all the data you find below is accessible via Oricon right here (Manga) and here (Series).
Several new releases can be seen on the Top 10 for the week. At Number 3 is Mayu Murata’s Honey Lemon Soda Volume 17 which recorded 110,271 copies sold, the best it has ever had among its latest five volumes. Note that Volume 17 sees a huge bump over debut sales of Volume 16 by 37.81%. A related volume titled ‘Honey Lemon Soda Side Stories‘ is also on the list at a very good 82,815 copies sold. Together, the two sees 193,086 copies sold for the week. As mentioned in my TSUTAYA and COMIC ZIN post, this rise could be attributable to the release of its live adaptation film on July the 9th.
