This should bring you to the Google chart page that contains the latest available sales data. Many of the titles that you see below have been discussed in the TSUTAYA’s sales chart for the same week, so do have a look at it right here. Some titles that did not make it onto the Top 30 chart were also discussed in the COMIC ZIN’s chart here. Please note that while Oricon tracks sales from a huge number of stores in Japan, the sales data below are not at the fullest since some stores do not participate in Oricon’s daily surveys.

Without further ado, the full Top 30 is as follows:
Manga Weekly Top 30
1. Kinou Nani Tabeta? Vol. 22 [Regular Edition] (NEW)
by Fumi Yoshinaga
Volume Information
Release Date: October 23, 2023
Days of Sales: 7
Price: 720 yen
Publisher: Kodansha
Estimated number of copies sold: 93,729
Link (JPN): Vol. 22

Analysis
The total of copies sold for Kinou Nani Tabeta? Volume 22 including its Special Edition at Number 9 would be 127,439 copies, 14.72% less than the 149,429 copies sold for Volume 16, both in their first week. Nevertheless, in terms of revenue, of which Volume 22 is at 111,307,880 yen (≈ USD) for the week, it would have a stronger advantage over Volume 16. Other than that, there has not been any other direct comparisons to other volumes with seven days of sales, though Volume 22 does present an improvement over its past volumes considering its stronger average per day despite the longer period of sales. For instance, the average for Volume 21 in its first six days here is 18,394 copies, and Volume 19 is at 20,459 copies in its first three days. To compare, Volume 22 is at 18,206 copies. The longer the days of sales, the lower the average per day tends to be.

Analysis
There are no direct comparisons against Yamada-kun to Lv999 no Koi wo Suru Volume 8 amongst its latest four volumes. However, Volume 8’s 83,070 copies sold in its first week is stronger than its volumes prior to its Anime adaptation. Observe the sales of Volume 5 and Volume 6, then compare it to Volume 7, all in three days, and we will find that copies sold have responded positively for Volume 7 which was released a couple of weeks after the Anime was aired (on April 2, 2023, the volume was released on April 21, 2023). As for Volume 8, the momentum held by Volume 7 has certainly diminished by some amount as the latest volume could have gone further had it retained some of the momentum initially held by the prior volume.
Additional Comments
Yamada-kun to Lv999 no Koi wo Suru was adapted into a 13-episode TV Anime series by studio Madhouse that aired from April 2 to June 25, 2023.

Raise wa Tanin ga Ii Volume 8 has recorded a small drop of 1.95% in copies sold against its 7th volume from 71,555 copies to 70,162 copies, both in their first week. The overall performance has slowed down when compared to its past volumes, particularly against Volume 5 which sold 67,475 copies in its first five days.

by (Story) Daisuke Aizawa and (Art) Anri Sakano
Volume Information
Release Date: October 26, 2023
Days of Sales: 4
Price: 680 yen
Publisher: KADOKAWA
Estimated number of copies sold: 41,967
Link (JPN): Vol. 12

Analysis
Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! Volume 12 has noted a slight fall in momentum as the 41,967 copies sold in its first four days, which is still great, are not as good as the 40,053 copies sold by Volume 11 in its first three days. The series has recorded a continuous increase in copies sold from Volume 8 to Volume 11, making this its first drop. This is despite the Anime’s 2nd season airing as of the time of writing which could also indicate a decline in readership. Nevertheless, more observation is needed before a better conclusion can be made.
Additional Comments
Studio Nexus is adapting the work into a 20-episode TV Anime series. The first season was aired from October 5, 2022 to February 15, 2023. The series’ 2nd season is currently airing as of the time of writing and is expected to last 12 episodes, worked on by the same studio.
