Analysis

When compared to most volumes with shorter days of sales, One Piece Volume 106 has sold the least as the drop of 80.20% experienced by the volume has put it behind all of its volumes with ten days of sales since Volume 93. Copies sold noted a wider drop against Volume 94, Volume 100 and Volume 104 by 14.77%, 18.37% and 13.60% (in their first ten days) and present the series’ second weakest turnout so far. Volume 106 still comes out ahead of Volume 102 by 7.06% of which the older volume sold 1,219,366 copies as of its 14th day, making it the worst performer since Volume 93.

Analysis

Sales of Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 23 has considerably slowed down by 74.34%, a rather unexpected outcome as the volume was expected to stabilise by selling about 300,000 copies. The drop to 183,580 copies sold puts the total 13-day sales at 898,967 copies, much stronger than volumes with the same number of days of sales prior to its Anime adaptation—Volume 7 and Volume 12 sold 176,314 copies and 217,001 copies respectively in their first 13 days. However, against other volumes with shorter days of sales, Volume 23’s 898,967 copies sold are not as great at all. Volume 16 for instance sold 1,519,819 copies in just ten days while Volume 18 achieved 1,321,226 copies sold in nine days. With all that said, the series is stuck in a decline trajectory state and may see a slower outcome for the next volume.

Analysis

Blue Lock Volume 25 present the series best performance so far within the first three days of sales as the combined performance of the volume’s Regular and Special Editions put it at a great start of 132,004 copies sold and a total revenue of 103,487,600 yen (≈738.71 thousand USD). The gap between the sales performance with its volumes before the Anime adaptation are especially wider as Volume 25 sold 173.98%, 119.71% and 190.44% more against Volume 16, Volume 17 and Volume 20. Although the change in copies sold has narrowed between Volume 25 and Volume 22 after the Anime’s broadcast, the latest volume still comes out on top with 68.60% more copies sold. That said, when compared to the past two volumes, sales have somewhat slowed down a little. Volume 23 sold 196,726 copies in four days while Volume 24 was at 201,573 copies in five days. The Special Edition’s copies sold would put Volume 25 comfortably in front of the two volumes in terms of revenue, but it may indicate a slowdown in sales for the series in terms of copies sold.

Additional Comments

Blue Lock was adapted into a 24-episode TV Anime series by studio 8bit which aired from October 9, 2022 to March 26, 2023. A second season of the TV Anime series and a film, titled “Episode Nagi” are currently in the works, though their actual broadcast dates are not yet known as of the time of writing.

Analysis

There are no direct comparisons against Yubisaki to Renren‘s 9th volume performance of 52,070 copies. Volume 9 did sell more than Volume 4 and Volume 6, however, these are their performances in the first three days and the volumes may have been able to sell more had they been in four days of sales instead. Against Volume 7 and Volume 8, Volume 9 does seem to be quite stable in terms of copies sold, revenue-wise, Volume 7 has a greater advantage seeing that it had a Special Edition released alongside. Overall, the performance fluctuates but is fairly stable. Though the series may see a boost in copies sold after the Anime airs.

Additional Comments

Yubisaki to Renren will receive a TV Anime series adaptation by studio Ajia-do, which is set to air from January 2024.

Analysis

Copies sold for Barakomon‘s 19th volume has dropped considerably when compared to Volume 18’s 116,871 copies sold, both in their first five days. This is somewhat expected since it has been about 1,674 days (or 4 years and 7 months) since its last release, and the fact that the series supposedly ended its serialization in 2019.

Additional Comments

Note that it has been 1,674 days or about 55 months since its last volume. The volume is titled “Hibi” or “Every Day”.

Barakamon was adapted into a 12-episode TV Anime series by studio Kinema Citrus which aired from July 6 to September 28, 2014.

Shangri-La Frontier has noted a decent increase in copies sold when compared to Volume 8 and Volume 9 by 35.29% and 30.45%, but sales have dropped by 16.87% against Volume 10, all in their first three days. The latest performance is also indicative of a slightly slower trend in sales when compared to the 59,920 copies and 59,100 copies sold in four days and five days respectively for Volume 12 and Volume 13. Sales may be reinvigorated after the Anime airs.

Additional Comments

Analysis

The entrance of Kanojo, Okarishimasu‘s latest volume, presents yet again the series’ weakest since Volume 11. Volume 32’s 23,211 copies sold are way less than other volumes with three days of sales, particularly against Volume 20 and Volume 24, where the gap is much palpable—a 54.10% and 41.50% drop respectively. Overall, the decline trend for the series continues to persist and it may not be too surprising to see another drop in sales for Volume 33.

Additional Comments

TMS Entertainment adapted the work into a 12-epsiode TV Anime series in July 2020 and later produced its second season which ended its broadcast on September 17, 2022. It’s sequel is being broadcast this season worked on by the same studio which began to air from July 8, 2023.

This would put the series’ performance for Volume 13 a lot closer to Volume 11, however, is still the series weakest to date since Volume 10.

Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? was adapted into a 24-episode TV Anime series in January 2021 by studio Millepensee.

The series was last seen on Oricon Top 30 with Volume 9’s Regular Edition at 22,946 copies sold in five days between January 9 and January 15, 2023. Prior to that, Volume 7 sold 18,411 copies sold in its first four days back in February 2022. It unfortunately failed to chart with Volume 8 on any of the lists the Blog tracks. Also, please note that the 10th volume’s Limited Edition is not found even on Oricon’s Top 50 sales chart for the week. With the cutoff point being about 11,000 copies on the Top 50, the Limited Edition, if it were to be tracked by Oricon, would have sold about or close to 10,000 copies. Together, that would put it more than 30,000 copies and ahead of Volume 7 and Volume 9 in terms of copies sold and revenue.

The Limited Edition of the 10th volume comes with a leaflet and a set of photos, priced at 1,700 yen (about 12 USD).

The series was adapted into a TV Anime series by studios feel. and Gaina that aired from July to September 2022.

Sales picking up thanks to the film adaptation by Studio Ghibli.


Omae no Tsumi wo Jihaku Shiro tops Oricon’s weekly series sales chart with 384.57 million yen (≈2.71 million USD) worth of sales made, spearheaded by its Music division that saw 117,600 copies sold within the first five days for its STARS single, performed by Japanese rock duo, B’z. The work, a novel by author Shinpo Yuichi of the same name, will be adapted into a live-action film starring Nakajima Kento and Tsutsumi Shinichi which is set for release this coming October 20, 2023. Apart from sales from its Music segment, the series also derived sales from its Book and Novel segments though sales from Music were the largest for the week.

Then, we have One Piece dropping a spot to Number 2 as total sales tracked by Oricon retreated by 73.97% to 165.87 million yen (≈1.17 million USD) which is caused by sales of its Manga noting a sharp decline for the week. In total, including the week before, its cumulative sales have now reached 803.07 million yen (≈5.66 million USD). Like the week before, sales for the series here consider all segments with Manga being the biggest contributor to sales for the week.

At Number 3 is Blue Lock with 140.31 million yen (≈989.23 thousand USD) in sales thanks to the release of its latest and 25th volume. Despite that, overall performance of the series is still slightly below Volume 24 when it made its debut between May 15 and May 21 this year at 150.12 million yen (≈1.07 million USD). Like One Piece, Blue Lock’s sales for the week comprise of all segments with Manga taking the lead.
