One Piece Volume 103 and Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 20 remain as the Number 1 and Number 2 best-selling volumes for the second week in a row with One Piece Volume 103 maintaining an advantage over the latter, though this time, at a small amount. Copies sold for One Piece’s 103rd volume slips 72.64% week-on-week to 349,055 copies, bringing its 11-day sales performance to a massive 1,624,798 copies sold, one of its best performances in a long time. The 11-day sales produced by Volume 103 is 5.32% less than Volume 93, however it has a 4.39% lead over Volume 98’s 1,624,798 copies sold, both in their first 11 days. The performance of its latest volume is also better than the 12-day and 14-day sales of Volumes 97 and 102. The rise in sales could be attributable to two factors: 1) The release of its latest film One Piece Film: Red and 2) The latest arc which featured some very interesting developments. As for Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 20, its 11-day sales of 1,167,704 copies sold is still nothing to be scoffed at, and these are numbers without its Special Edition (in its second week). Its latest performance still sells 4.7 times more than Volume 11 but is not as good as Volume 15’s 1,370,363 copies sold. Note that even with the Special Edition combined, Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 20 would still not rank higher than One Piece Volume 103 as the volume is completely left out of the Top 50 charts, selling below the 18,000 copies mark.
Dungeon Meshi makes a return to the chart with the release of its 12th volume after nearly a year of absence (it was last seen with Volume 11 back in September 15 last year).

Copies sold for its latest volume is also only a small improvement over Volume 9’s 3-day sales of 135,713 copies. Dungeon Meshi is serialized in KADOKAWA’s Harta magazine with more than 8.5 million copies in circulation including digital (Source: Screen Online), some of its chapters are available for reading in Japanese for free right here through Comic Walker.
