The intensity the chart exhibits for the week between May 31 to June 6 is certainly palpable with big names making onto the list. It would have been even more interesting to see a new volume from Tokyo Revengers releasing in the same week as these titles. Nevertheless, despite the tense competition, sales were rather stable with most titles seeing ups and downs for some. To begin with, Jujutsu Kaisen‘s Volume 16 comes in 1st for the week at 1,165,681 copies sold. This marks the third consecutive rise debut-to-debut for the title, albeit a small one. However, Jujutsu Kaisen will be going on a hiatus for around a month according to latest news with publisher Shueisha citing that the reason is due to the author’s poor health (Source: ANN).

It is thanks to the wonderful 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).
As expected, One Piece Volume 99 sales are down debut-to-debut from 1,237,929 copies sold for its 98th volume to 1,051,403 copies. Competition will continue to go strong on Week 2, and it will be a hard fight to see it recouping back sales to match its previous volume’s performance. Likewise, Spy x Family may have reached its comfort zone as sales are also down debut-to-debut by 7.18% seeing it ended the week with 498,984 copies sold.

Both Kaijuu 8-gou Volume 3 and Dr. Stone Volume 21 experienced better debut sales compared to their own respective previous volumes. The first has seen sales improved by a small amount to 318,973 copies while the latter continues to fluctuate. Sales for Dr. Stone’s 21st volume is close to sales of Volume 18 which was its best performer thus far, among its latest ten volumes.

Sales for Owari no Seraph‘s newest volume could not impress as it failed to reach the level shown by Volume 19 to Volume 20. Sales are down to 50,253 copies from Volume 23’s 65,911 copies, most likely attributable in part to the many heavyweights present in the week’s list. It will be a tough battle for it to stay on the Top 30 list the following week.
