Japan Top Weekly Manga Ranking: October 5, 2020 ~ October 11, 2020

Sales of titles in the Top 10 for the week between October 5 to October 11 have all dropped across the board with the Special Edition of Kimetsu no Yaiba’s 22nd volume saw sales diminishing by about 85% for the week. Nevertheless, these are still good numbers considering that the rest – other than Kimetsu no Yaiba and One Piece – have managed to retain more or less the same numbers as the week before.

Remember! It is thanks to the awesome 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. The week’s data is accessible via Oricon here.

At number 7 and 8, you will find Seijo no Maryoku wa Bannou desu and Yuusha Party wo Tsuihou sareta Beast Tamer, Saikyoushu no Nekomimi Shoujo to Deau. Both were expected to make the list if you have seen the TSUTAYA and COMIC ZIN’s chart I posted a few days ago. The numbers projected by Seijo no Maryoku wa Bannou desu is slightly lesser than its volume 4 debut. Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san, at number 11 did not perform as well as its 5th volume. The 5th volume which came out back in June sold 63,208 copies in its first week while the 6th volume managed to sell slightly more than half of than figure. This is the same for Beastars, which volume 21 sold 34,119 copies, lower than the sales of volume 20 in its first week. Without further ado, the full list is as follows:
