Looking at the intensity that the week’s chart possesses, I must say that it is more of a battlefield for Kimetsu no Yaiba versus Jujutsu Kaisen than your typical weekly sales chart. It is true that Kimetsu no Yaiba is still well entrenched especially in the Top 10, but the battle is clearly visible from the bottom 20 with the ranks almost fully occupied by the two. The two giants belong to the same company (though different authors), thus this is a positive outcome for Shueisha.
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 lots of love! You will be able to find the data below via the links here (Manga) and here (Series).
The week’s chart has only one new release sitting at the top of the chart and with 113,249 copies sold, the sixth volume of Gokushufudou takes home the crown. The number of copies sold for the title grew from the sales of Volume 5 which made into the chart back in June. At the time, it sold 89,393 copies. This marks an increase of 21.07% over the debut sales of Volume 5. The rest of the list, are titles that have already made the chart; let’s not wait any longer! Bon appétit everyone:
