The Tensura Series registered excellent sales for the week between March 29 to April 4 with three of its titles making onto the chart for the week. The parent title’s latest volume recorded the highest debut sales amongst the latest six volumes, an increase of 40.48% debut-to-debut from Volume 16’s 191,803 copies. Tensura Nikki: Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken is placed at number 27 with 44,875 copies while another side story, Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken Ibun: Makokugurashi no Trinity is at 28 with 39,685 copies sold. Both recorded modest sales.
It is thanks to the amazing folks over at Oricon that we get to see these charts on a regular basis, so be sure to head over to their site here and show them some love! Plus, all the data you find below can be accessed via Oricon right here (Manga) and here (Series).
However, many of the new releases you find in the Top 10 could not replicate the success of their previous volumes, despite seeing their Anime broadcasts ended a couple of weeks ago. Boku no Hero Academia, Dr. Stone, Dragon Ball Super, and Black Clover are all down debut-to-debut. While sales for Boku no Hero Academia and Dr. Stone are relatively stable to what their other volumes have been able to achieve, the same could not be said for the other two. Dragon Ball Super and Black Clover‘s latest volumes have the weakest debut sales amongst its latest volumes thus far, with the latter title falling below 70,000 copies.
It is still too early to say if the performance of these new releases have indeed worsen. The following week should provide a better insight on their actual performance since there have been instances where sales would go up on Week 2. So, do keep a lookout.
