There have been some changes to the reporting style here on the Blog. Please refer to the post here for further information.
It is thanks to the amazing folks over at Oricon that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis, so be sure to head over to their site here and show them lots of love! In addition, all the data you find below is accessible via Oricon right here (Manga) and here (Series). To access the sales data, be sure to click on the “Analytics” accordion and then click “Chart”. 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.
Without further ado, the full Top 30 is as follows:

Blue Giant Explorer marked a 15.63% improvement in sales for Volume 7 against Volume 4’s 30,398 copies which also debuted in its first 3 days back in October 2021. However, when compared to Volume 6, copies sold for its latest volume are weaker as the previous volume had charted with a slightly higher average sales per day (note that the average tends to be lower the longer it goes).
Additional Comments

8. Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! Vol. 9 (NEW)
by (Story) Daisuke Aizawa and (Art) Anri Sakano

Days of Sales: 6
Price: 640 yen
Publisher: KADOKAWA
Estimated number of copies sold: 34,343
Link (JPN): Vol. 9
Analysis
The series appearance on the Manga sales charts have been rather sporadic, being last seen for Volume 8 recently at 22,954 copies in its first 7 days. Prior to that, it made the breach into Oricon’s Top 30 with Volume 4 back in August 2020 at 24,355 copies sold in its first 6 days. As such, the 34,343 copies it sold for Volume 9 is a welcoming upgrade for the series. With the Anime being aired this season (as of the time of writing) we may see further boost in sales of its Manga’s physical copies.
Additional Comments
Studio Nexus is adapting the work into a 20-episode TV Anime series. The first episode was aired on October 5, 2022.

Analysis
The series last made its Manga appearance back in February 2022 for its 10th volume at 37,342 copies sold in its first 6 days. Therefore, the performance of its 11th volume is not as good as its previous, at least in its debut week. The title, however, has made more consistent appearances for its Light Novels, being ranked continuously for the debut sales of Volumes 15 to 18.
Additional Comments
Studio C2C adapted the work into a 12-episode TV Anime series that aired between July and September of 2021. A sequel to the Anime series is in the works, though its actual date of broadcast is still unknown. It is unsure whether C2C will be returning to adapt the second season.
