Analysis
Blue Lock Volume 24’s 201,573 copies sold in five days retains the series’ overall momentum ever since the adaptation of the work into Anime. However, the performance of Volume 24 only presented a small rise of 2.46% over Volume 23’s 196,726 copies in four days. The gap is certainly much larger when compared to volumes prior to that. For instance, against Volume 13 with the same number of days of sales as Volume 24, the growth is a staggering 195.97%. It is very likely that Blue Lock will not see another significant jump in sales with its performance expected to be in the range of 150,000 to 200,000 copies for future volumes before a slow down in sales trend occur much later into the future.
Additional Comments

Kininatteru Hito ga Otoko ja Nakatta Volume 1 has reached 97,856 copies sold in its first 26 days.
The improvement in the overall sales of “Oshi no Ko” Manga volumes over the past two weeks, during which it experienced a slowdown in copies sold, has propelled the series to the number one spot on Oricon’s series sales chart at 195.57 million yen (≈1.40 million USD). With all the Manga individual volumes accounted for in the top 30, the total number of copies sold reached 300,574, surpassing the sales figures between April 10 and April 16, as well as April 17 and April 23. Therefore, this could very well be the series’ best performance on the charts so far. The rise in sales can be attributed to the restocking of Manga volumes as demand began to rise after the airing of the first episode of its Anime adaptation on April 12. In addition to Manga sales, the Music sales also contributed to the overall sales.
At number two is Mo Dao Zu Shi with sales worth 153.72 million yen (≈1.10 million USD) for the week, mainly driven by the sales of its anime Blu-ray release, “Wanjie Pian,” which sold 6,161 copies in its first five days. Apart from the sales from its Video department, which is its largest contributor for the week, the series’ Music sales were also considered.
Blue Lock settles for the third spot with sales of 150.12 million yen (≈1.07 million USD), thanks to the release of its 24th volume, which topped Oricon’s Manga sales chart for the week. Blue Lock encompasses sales from all segments tracked by Oricon, including Video, Music, Books, Novels, and Manga, with the latter being its biggest contributor for the week.
