Kimetsu no Yaiba continues its momentum going into the first week of May according to Oricon’s latest chart accessible here. All volumes are accounted for, but sales have plummeted after a good run it had the previous week. On a side note, volume 20 of the series went on sale a couple of days ago (May 13), based on sales of volume 18 and volume 19, it is most likely going to top the chart for the week between May 11 to May 17. Any predictions? Do leave down in the comment section below!
For the week between May 4 to May 10, the chart sees Arslan Senki’s latest volume topping the chart as it debuts at a humble 61,695 copies sold nationwide Japan. While the list is still made up of titles that have already made into the chart, a couple of new faces can also be seen in the week’s chart, which includes Ajin (No. 11), MF Ghost (No. 20), Parallel Paradise (No. 25) and Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku (No. 28).
