Japan Top Weekly Manga Ranking: May 3, 2021 ~ May 9, 2021

MF Ghost continues to zigzag its way as debut sales for Volume 11 fell a little from Volume 10’s 72,417 copies to 62,799 copies. Nevertheless, it leads Oricon’s chart for the week, sitting comfortably at number 1. Debut sales for the 11th volume are still far from the highest it has ever achieved among its latest six volumes. Note that Volume 7 came out strong with 90,058 copies sold in its first week.

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 some love! Plus, all the data you find below is accessible via Oricon right here (Manga) and here (Series).

Oricon’s Top 10 has two new releases in its rank for the week with a surprising title making onto the list. At number 5 is a newcomer, Onna no Sono no Hoshi‘s Volume 2 which had a pleasant turnout of 55,497 copies. The title also topped the “Kono Manga ga Sugoi!” list for the 2021 edition for female readers (source: ANN). It is worked on by Yama Wayama, who also drew Muchuu sa, Kimi ni. And then, there’s Ajin‘s Volume 11 at number 8 with 52,651 copies sold. However, it sold less than Volume 16 in its first week. Although the number of copies sold remain to be above 50,000 copies for its 17th volume, I had expected it to sell more being the final volume.

Other than that, sales for Boruto: Naruto Next Generations has climbed by 16.91% from 45,599 copies it sold the week before to 54,882 copies. This has allowed the title’s Volume 14 to see copies sold past 100,000 copies as of Week 2. Both Tokyo Revengers and Jujutsu Kaisen also sees better sales week-on-week as the two battle it out on the chart. Without further ado, the full list is as follows:
