Japan Top Weekly Manga Ranking: May 18, 2020 ~ May 24, 2020

The latest weekly ranking for Manga for the period between May 18 to May 24 is finally out and available via Oricon here for your perusal. It is thanks to Oricon that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis, so do head over to their site here and show them your support!

For the most part, sales for those in the top 10 have somewhat settled down after their debuts the week before, except for several volumes of Kimetsu no Yaiba (other than volume 20) which have climbed up the ranks for the week. Sales of its twentieth volume remains strong going into its second week, but have shown a drastic decline from the week before. Nanatsu no Taizai, among all showed the least drop in terms of copies sold in the top 10, however Haikyuu!! and Rurouni Kenshin plunged considerably to settle for spots 13 as well as 29 respectively.

Titles such as Chihayafuru, Boruto and Act-age are nowhere to be see for the week. Some series that you may want to look out for would be Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu. (No. 22), Grand Blue (No. 23) and Saint☆Oniisan (No. 25), all are titles worth picking up.
