An extremely slow week for Manga as it ends the month with low turnouts even for new releases. Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru Volume 8 which comes in 2nd behind Jujutsu Kaisen has full 7 days of sales, however it falls short on reaching copies sold, in fact not even surpassing sales of Volume 6, which when charted only had 5 days of sales. Nevertheless, copies sold are still ahead of its 5th volume that also sold for 7 days when it was on the chart back in May 2020.
It is thanks to the amazing people 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). If you prefer Google Charts, I have left the link to the chart all the way down below. I have also covered most of the titles you see below in my TSUTAYA and COMIC ZIN’s post right here, so do give it a read!
As for Itai no wa Iya nanode Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu Volume 5 which comes in 5th for the week at 43,487 copies sold, this would be its first appearance on the Top 30 chart since the site started tracking. The title’s Light Novel, of which the Manga is adapting from is also very popular. The 12th volume of the Light Novel made its debut in the August 2021 chart with presales amounting to 5,070 copies sold. It then climbed on its actual release week to 9,855 copies to see a total of 14,925 copies sold.
And then there is another series which is adapted from its Light Novel. Coming in at Number 7 is Youjo Senki Volume 23 at 35,412 copies sold. Its appearance on the chart is rather irregular as it missed out for Volumes 18 to 20 amid strong competition. Volume 23 is not looking so good. Despite having longer days of sales of 6, it pales in comparison to the performances of its past volumes. Volume 17 was at 4 days with 50,113 copies, Volume 22 was at 3 days and at 34,449 copies. Nevertheless, it will be receiving a sequel for its Anime and that should revitalize its sales.
Then, there is Kieta Hatsukoi Volume 7 which places 7th for the week at 33,292 copies sold, and Ou no Kemono Volume 8 at 28,444 copies sold. Both are their first appearances on the Top 30 chart since the site started tracking. Blue Giant Explorer Volume 4 which places 9th at 30,398 copies exhibits a weaker performance than sales of its 1st volume which sold 55,169 copies in its first 3 days. The title failed to chart for its 2nd volume in its release week, but came onto the chart right after on Week 2 at 39,062 copies. Volume 3 sold 63,021 copies in its first 5 days.
