We have seen this coming awhile now with the uptrend evidently hinting the possibility of Haikyuu!!’s final volume reaching sales higher than 400,000 copies. Guess what? And it sure did! It did not just stop there as the Guidebook released alongside it (No. 3) sold a whopping 158,673 copies, together, the series sold 590,747 copies in its first week. This is great news indeed, and the finale certainly ended with a BANG!
Remember that it is thanks to the amazing people over at Oricon that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis, so visiting them here is a must! As for the data you find below, it is all accessible here (Manga) and here (Series).
Apart from that, the sun is not shining brightly alone for Haikyuu!! as both Chainsaw Man and Dr. Stone reach sales higher than their previous volumes. Chainsaw Man Volume 9 sold 163,075 copies, 23.61% more than Volume 9’s debut sales back in August while Dr. Stone managed to sell 106,996 copies, which is a 25.27% jump over sales of Volume 17 in its first week. Kimetsu no Yaiba’s volumes on the other hand, experienced a fall for the week.
One interesting to note though, are the sales of Jujutsu Kaisen which are currently on a rally – probably due to the Anime. There are nine of its volumes in the chart for the week with copies sold amounting to 328,780 copies. There is a good chance that the figures are higher if other volumes are taken into account. Anyways, I shall hold you guys no further, below is the full list.
