Yasuhisa Hara’s Kingdom’s latest volume tops the weekly Manga chart ranking for the week between March 15 and March 22 according to Oricon sales chart available here. Remember to pay the awesome guys over at Oricon a visit as it is thanks to them that we are able to see these charts on a weekly basis.
Kingdom Vol. 57 however, is trailed closely by Golden Kamuy at number 2 which managed to sell an estimated 145,708 copies for the week. The series lags behind Kingdom’s volume 57 by almost 300,000 copies apart. The two titles are followed by Kimetsu no Yaiba which is making a comeback for the week after being absent from the top 10 for the previous week. Unfortunately not all of Kimetsu no Yaiba’s volumes made into the top 30 between the week with volume 7 to volume 12 unaccounted for. Since we are closely approaching April and May is just around the corner – Kimetsu no Yaiba’s volume 20 will be on sale on the 1st of May, we may see sales for the series picking up the 4th week of April. In the meantime, expect a slowdown.
Yakusoku no Neverland Vol. 18, Boku no Hero Academia Vol. 26 and Mahoutsukai no Yome Vol. 13 all experienced a big drop for the week after taking the top 3 spots the week before. Yakusoku no Neverland fell 19 spots from number 1 the previous week to 20. Boku no Hero Academia and Mahoutsukai no Yome both tumbled 19 and 22 places to 21 and 25 respectively.
