Japan Top Weekly Manga Sales Ranking: May 1 – May 7, 2023

Compared to other volumes with six days of sales, Ao no Hako Volume 10 sold 68,308 copies, representing a minor drop of 6.65% and 6.53% compared to the sales of Volume 3 and Volume 7, respectively. Additionally, the latest performance of its 18th volume is not as good as Volume 6’s 62,209 copies in its first four days. However, had it gone on sale for one more day, it may have overtaken Volume 2’s 74,740 copies sold.

Spy x Family Volume 11 has reached 1,122,251 copies sold in its first 34 days.

The sales of Dandadan Volume 10, which sold 52,642 copies in its first six days, represent a drop of 31.65% compared to Volume 7’s 77,015 copies sold in the same timeframe. Additionally, the latest volume’s sales performance is not as great as other past volumes with shorter days of sales, such as Volume 1’s 57,761 copies in its first five days, Volume 6’s 69,814 copies in its first four days, and Volume 8’s 65,866 copies in its first five days. Based on this, it can be concluded that the series is experiencing a decline in physical sales of its manga volumes.

Kingdom Volume 68 has sold 480,294 copies in its first 20 days.

Chainsaw Man Volume 14 has sold 453,495 copies in its first 34 days.

Detective Conan Volume 103 has sold 375,571 copies in its first 26 days.

Gakuen Babysitters was last seen with Volume 22 and Volume 23 on Oricon’s Top 30 sales chart at 36,819 copies and 35,759 copies sold, both in their first six days. Note that only the Regular Edition of Gakuen Babysitters Volume 24 appeared on the chart for the week, with the Special Edition not present. Assuming it made it onto the chart from the bottom 51 and onwards, it most likely sold within the range of 5,000 copies to 8,000 copies. This should put the total sales of the latest volume at either a high of 35,000 copies or a low of 32,000 copies.

“Gakuen Babysitters” was adapted into a 12-episode TV Anime series by Studio Brain’s Base, which aired from January 7 to March 25, 2018.

Including its pre-release sales, Kekkaishi no Ichirinka Volume 2 has sold 39,210 copies.

Shuumatsu no Harem Volume 17 has seen perhaps its worst performance to date since Volume 11. The latest volume has experienced a significant drop of 56.05% and 40.22% in sales compared to Volume 12 and Volume 14, respectively, all in their first six days. When compared to other volumes with shorter days of sales, Volume 17 has sold fewer copies than Volume 11’s 61,033 copies in its first five days. This further traps the series in a declining trend for its physical Manga volume sales and may see the situation persist until its final volume is released.

In October last year, Studio Gokumi and AXsiZ adapted Shuumatsu no Harem into an 11-episode TV Anime series.

Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear was last seen with Volume 9 on TSUTAYA’s chart back between October 31 and November 6, 2022, in its first three days, but it failed to chart on Oricon’s list for the same week.

“Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear” was adapted into a 12-episode TV Anime series that aired from October 7 to December 23, 2020. The series was produced by Studio EMT Squared. Currently, the show’s sequel season is being broadcast by the same studio and is scheduled to end on June 19, 2023.

Fuuto Tantei Volume 14 has sold 52,999 copies in its first 10 days.

There are no direct comparisons for Sousei no Onmyouji Volume 31 in its first six days. However, the latest volume has performed poorly when compared to the sales of Volume 26 and Volume 30, which sold 27,977 copies in four days and 26,942 copies in five days, respectively.

In April 2016, Pierrot adapted the work into a 50-episode TV Anime series.

Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 22 has sold 1,296,628 copies in its first 66 days.

Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: Onodera Ritsu no Baai was last seen with Volume 17 at 29,178 copies sold in its first 2 days. The latest outcome for its 18^th volume represents a significant drop in sales.

“Sekaiichi Hatsukoi” was adapted into an 11-episode TV Anime series that aired from April 9 to June 25, 2011, by Studio DEEN. The studio produced a sequel to the show that aired later that same year in October, followed by a third season that premiered in February 2020.

Yamada-kun to Lv999 no Koi wo Suru Volume 7 has achieved 120,106 copies sold in its first 17 days.

Youchien Wars last made an appearance with Volume 2 on COMIC ZIN’s list back in April 2022 in its first six days, but it failed to chart on Oricon’s Top 30 sales chart for the same week.

2.5-jigen no Ririsa was last seen with Volume 16 on COMIC ZIN’s chart in January 2023 within its first five days, however, it did not make it onto Oricon’s Top 30 sales chart for the same week.
