Japan Top Weekly Manga Sales Ranking: January 16 – January 22, 2023

Kingdom does not seem to be able to regain its momentum with the latest performance of its 67^th volume, sitting below many of its 3-day, prior volumes’ sales such as from Volumes 62 to 65, all at above 345,000 copies sold. Going back to Volume 57 which was also charted at 4 days of sales, the newest release is down by 25.78% debut-to-debut.

The series was adapted into TV Anime series that spanned four seasons including a live-action movie adaptation in 2019 which starred Kento Yamazaki, Ryo Yoshizawa, Masami Nagasawa and many more.

Copies sold in its first 13 days have reached 271,683.

The volume has achieved 468,464 copies in its first 19 days.

“Oshi no Ko” Volume 10’s 60,307 copies sold in its first 4 days is a rather great outcome, though this is still lower than the 60,000 copies sold plus it experienced for Volumes 6 to 8 in their first 3 days. The volume may have registered a less turnout had it gone a day longer when compared to Volume 9 that sold 76,882 copies in its first 5 days (averaging at 15,376 copies per day) amid the latest volume’s smaller average per day sales.

“Oshi no Ko” is slated to receive an Anime adaptation by Doga Kobo in March 2023.

Akatsuki no Yona Volume 40’s 53,130 copies sold in its first 3 days produced a 3.75% smaller outcome than Volume 38’s 55,201 copies sold (also in 3 days) and is quite far below the 78,241 copies sold it experienced (in physical sales) against Volume 36 in its first 4 days (averaging at 19,560 copies compared to Volume 40’s 17,710 copies per day).

In 2014, the title received a 24-episode TV Anime series adaptation by Pierrot and three OVA episodes released between September 2015 and December 2016.

When compared to Volume 22’s 52,005 copies sold in its first 5 days, Volume 28’s 50,862 copies sold is 2.20% down, but this is certainly a positive outcome as the newest volume coming slightly ahead of Volumes 23 and 25 that sold 56,579 copies and 59,633 copies sold in their first 7 days.

Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu. was adapted into a TV Anime series by studio OLM that was aired in two separate cours with the first one in October 2021 while the other in April 2022.

Mokushiroku no Yonkishi’s 46,613 copies sold in its first 6 days for Volume 10 is not as great as Volume 7’s 51,971 copies (in 6 days as well), sitting below the volume by 10.31%. The most recent result is also not as promising as what it had recorded for Volumes 4 and 8 as well that saw 45,627 copies and 47,170 copies sold in their first 5 days.

The series will be receiving a TV Anime series adaptation by studio Telecom Animation Film that is slated to air this year in 2023.

Choujin X overall turnout so far is rather stable with Volume 5’s 36,800 copies, while certainly not as good as Volume 1’s 33,113 copies sold in its first 3 days, is nearly identical to Volume 2’s performance had it gone a day longer (the volume sold 29,852 copies, averaging at 9,951 copies per day whereas Volume 5 averaged at 9,200 copies per day). Apart from that, the series was also seen with Volumes 3 and 4 at 43,779 copies and 26,647 copies sold in their first 5 days and 3 days.
