The drought season has certainly spilled over to the weekly Manga sales ranking for the week between May 10 to May 16. New releases are few for the week with only four titles breaching Oricon’s Top 30 chart. The new entrees are lead by Mika Yamamori’s Uruwashi no Yoi no Tsuki with 57,538 copies sold. Ojou to Banken-kun‘s Volume 6 and Darwin’s Game‘s Volume 23 are both placed at number 8 and 9 respectively. Opening sales are decent for the two. At number 17 is Nobunaga Concerto‘s Volume 21 with 27,976 copies sold for the week. You may remember the series as it had an Anime adaptation back in 2014.
It is thanks to the amazing 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).
Titles that made the chart the week before is still heavily present with Onna no Sono no Hoshi‘s Volume 2 seeing a 13.24% improvement week-on-week as number of copies sold climb to 63,968. The two-week sales for the volume now stand at 119,465 copies. Note that, according to Manga Mogura RE, the title’s Volume 1 and Volume 2 currently have 550,000 copies in circulation.
Tensei Kenja no Isekai Life: Dai-2 no Shokugyou wo Ete, Sekai Saikyou ni Narimashita‘s Volume 12 climbed 19 spots to settle for the 4th place, however copies sold were lower than its debut week. Sales are down by 15.55% from 43,484 copies to 36,722 copies. The good news is, Manga Mogura also reported that the title’s Light Novel and Manga have 3.7 million copies in circulation as of February 2021.
