Analysis

Tokyo Revengers ended its main storyline Manga volume run with Volume 31 registering a total of 547,991 copies sold in physical sales as tracked by Oricon in its first 6 days, higher than Volume 29’s 444,084 copies sold in its first 5 days (averaging at 88,817 copies a day whereas Volume 31 was averaging at 91,332 copies, the longer it goes, the lower the average per day sales tend to be). Nevertheless, it would have seemed that the latest volume sold less than Volume 30 had it gone two days longer. The previous volume was at 407,179 copies sold in its first 4 days (averaging at 101,795 copies per day).

Note that its other related new volumes released alongside saw the series sold a total of 842,588 copies with older volumes such as Tokyo Revengers Volume 30 at Number 15 and Tokyo Revengers: Baji Keisuke kara no Tegami Volume 1 at Number 29 also rallying along, further bolstering its position for the week.

Additional Comments

In April 2021, it received a 24-episode TV Anime series adaptation by LIDENFILMS. Its 13-episode sequel TV series titled “Seiya Kessen-hen” is currently being aired this season (as of the time of writing), produced by the same studio.

Analysis

“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.

Additional Comments
