Analysis

Among the volumes of Mairimashita! Iruma-kun that have been on sale for four days, Volume 32’s sales of 93,371 copies show the series’ best performance to date. This represents a 46.79%, 19.93%, 23.76%, and 8.53% increase over Volume 21, Volume 26, Volume 29, and Volume 30, respectively. When compared to volumes that had longer sales periods, such as Volume 24, which sold 89,998 copies in seven days, and Volume 27, which sold 79,044 copies in five days, Volume 32 has shown much stronger sales. This could indicate that it is very likely the series’ highest debut so far.

Additional Comments

The TV Anime adaptation of the Manga has recently concluded its third season, which was produced by Bandai Namco Pictures. The latest season aired from an unspecified date until March 4. The first season aired from October 2019 to March 2020, while the second season aired from April to September 2021.

Analysis

When compared to its two latest volumes, Arslan Senki Volume 19 witnessed a 16.75% and 16.88% drop in copies sold compared to Volume 16 and Volume 17, respectively. It’s important to note that this comparison is limited to its Regular Edition copies. Interestingly, the 19th volume’s Limited Edition does not appear on either the Top 30 or the Top 50 sales charts for the week. Considering that the cutoff for the Top 50 sales chart is around 15,000 copies, it can be assumed that the Special Edition likely sold within the range of 10,000 copies to 15,000 copies. This would result in a total sales estimate of approximately 80,000 copies to 86,000 copies for the latest volume.

Note. Volumes 18 & 19 without Special Edition

Additional Comments

Arslan Senki Volume 19 also has a Special Edition, priced at 1,800 yen (≈13 USD) and comes with an acrylic stand.

SANZIGEN and LIDENFILMS adapted the Manga into a 25-episode TV Anime series in 2015 before a follow up season in 2016.

Analysis

The 17th volume of MF Ghost experienced a direct drop of 13.62% compared to Volume 15, both of which were in their first six days of release. Additionally, the latest volume sold fewer copies when compared to others with shorter sales periods, such as Volume 11 and Volume 13, which sold 62,799 copies and 59,532 copies respectively in their first four days. This could very likely be the series’ worst performance in the physical space, as tracked by Oricon, up to this point.

Additional Comments

The series is expecting a TV Anime series adaptation by Felix Film to happen in 2023, though the exact date of the broadcast is not yet known.

Gekikaradou tops the Oricon weekly series sales ranking, securing 321.48 million yen (≈2.28 million USD) in sales for the week, heavily boosted by the release of its Season 2’s official soundtrack, a single titled “Shiawase no Hana,” which charted 1st on Oricon’s single chart for the week with 216,313 copies sold in its first five days. The song is sung by Johnny’s West, a Japanese seven-member boyband formed by the Johnny & Associates talent agency. Apart from the sales of its soundtrack, which is its largest contributor to sales for the week, the series also derived some amount from its Video segment. The live-action Japanese drama series first began its broadcast in January 2021 before Season 2’s release on April 6, 2023.

Despite a slowdown in overall sales tracked by Oricon, “Oshi no Ko” maintained its Number 2 spot, down 26.14% from the previous week’s 188.01 million yen (≈1.33 million USD) to 138.87 million yen (≈985.26 thousand USD). Much of the series sales here are still supported by its Manga, with some contribution from its Music segment. However, the series is set to receive its Anime’s 1st volume this coming June 28th, which, if its popularity trickles over, may witness a stronger rebound at the end of the month.

Finally, we have Boku no Hero Academia at Number 3 with 127.98 million yen (≈908.00 thousand USD) in sales made throughout the week. Like “Oshi no Ko”, much of its sales here are driven by its Manga, with Video and Music segments being the two other contributors. The series, however, failed to chart in the Top 3 the week before, despite Volume 38 making its debut then.
