There have been some changes to the reporting style here on the Blog. Please refer to the post here for further information.
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! In addition, all the data you find below is accessible via Oricon right here (Manga) and here (Series). To access the sales data, be sure to click on the “Analytics” accordion and then click “Chart”. This should bring you to the Google chart page that contains the latest available sales data. Many of the titles that you see below have been discussed in the TSUTAYA’s sales chart for the same week, so do have a look at it right here. Some titles that did not make it onto the Top 30 chart were also discussed in the COMIC ZIN’s chart here. Please note that while Oricon tracks sales from a huge number of stores in Japan, the sales data below are not at the fullest since some stores do not participate in Oricon’s daily surveys.

Overall series performance for the week remained on the low side allowing Blue Lock to retain its Number 1 spot, though with a stronger outcome as it nudged 17.38% higher sales than the week before to 173.25 million yen (≈1.27 million USD). Then, Konya, Sekai kara Kono Koi ga Kiete mo clinched the 2nd spot to settle in at 170.82 million yen (≈1.25 million USD) driven by sales of its film’s discs that saw a total of 21,427 copies sold in its first 5 days. Out of the total, 13,898 copies sold were for its Blu-rays while its DVDs registered 7,529 copies. Love Live! came in 3rd at 118.35 million yen (≈865.87 thousand USD) thanks mainly to the sales of Love Live! Sunshine!! Aqours 6th LoveLive! Blu-rays at a total of 5,012 copies in its first 5 days.
As for Blue Lock, sales here took into account all factors (Video, Music, Books, Novels and Manga) with Manga being the largest contributor. Love Live! is nearly identical to Blue Lock with all segments accounted for, however, sales from its Video segment were the most significant. Konya, Sekai kara Kono Koi ga Kiete mo, like Love Live!, had the Video segment as its biggest, but it did not derive any sales from the Manga segment.
