They did it again. Kimetsu no Yaiba’s latest volume was released on July 3rd with a really strong number of sales recorded. The title occupies the 1st and 2nd spots according to Oricon’s most recent weekly Manga sales chart, available here. The Regular Edition debuted with almost 1.2 million copies sold in Japan, while the Special Edition at 850,000 copies. Together, volume 21 has sold more than 2 million copies in its first week in Japan. Note that, the figure is higher than when volume 20 was released back in May. You may see the comparisons as below:

Following close at number 3 is My Hero Academia, which volume 27 debuted at 253,000 copies. Apart from these three, you can find five new volumes (inclusive of one new title) for the week. They are Yakusoku no Neverland (No. 4), Kuubo Ibuki (No. 5), Dr. STONE (No, 7), Black Clover (No. 8) and Kuubo Ibuki GREAT GAME (No. 9).
Sales of Kingdom have fallen considerably as it dropped down the rank from the first position it held the week before to number 10. At the same time, Kimetsu no Yaiba’s volume 20 has seen an increase in sales while the rest of the title’s volumes are heavily present in the lower chart giving way to only two new titles, Act-age (No. 12) and Bungou Stray Dogs (No. 13)
