Business must be good for Shueisha for the week between October 12 to October 18 seeing Kimetsu no Yaiba’s volumes selling 1,689,182 copies in total. Although the 22nd volume is continuing to decline, the rest of the catalogue have recorded positive growth. Volume 1 to Volume 21 of the series sold a cumulative of 1,406,332 copies, averaging around 60,000 copies a volume for the week.
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 visit their site here and show them lots of love! The week’s data you find below can be found here for Manga, and here for series.
Apart from Kimetsu no Yaiba’s sheer dominance in the week’s chart, we do have some new titles making the list, with Chihayafuru’s volume 45 trailing Yaiba’s volume 22 closely at number 2. The number of copies sold for the title is a slightly lesser than the debut sales of its previous volume, however it is still within the realm of expectation. Likewise, Goblin Slayer at number 5 too sold around the same as the volume before in its first week, a few hundred copies lower. At number 3, is a title that did not make TSUTAYA nor COMIC ZIN’s chart the other day. Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card-hen’s volume 9 managed a 77,620 copies sold in its first week, which is a markedly better sales than volume 8 back in March. Anyways, the full list is as follows:
