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”.

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.

Analysis

Considering the relatively short days of sales Volume 104 has, it is not surprising that it would sell fewer copies than the past two volumes. Volumes 102 and 103 were charted at Oricon’s Top 30 sales charts at 1,050,333 copies and 1,275,743 copies in their first 7 days and 4 days. Making this latest performance of the series way stronger than Volume 102. In addition, when compared to its other past volumes with 3 days of sales, Volume 104 has performed quite well. Against Volumes 94 and 100, it marked a 1.14% and 0.35% decline in sales, however, against Volumes 96, 99 and 101, it sold more copies by 9.18%, 11.17% and 18.45%.

Additional Comments

One Piece recently saw the launch of its latest move, One Piece Film: Red to great success, driving up sales through Toei Animation and stimulating the sales of its other related products which can also be observed in Bandai Namco Holdings’ recent performance report. The film was released domestically on August 6, 2022, to which it has already earned 17,300 million yen (≈121.94 million USD) in box office revenue. Toei Animation described it as “in the process” of breaking the company’s own domestic box office record.

Analysis

Taking into account how long it has been since its last volume, Volume 37 selling 533,689 copies in its first 3 days is really something. Yes, when compared to the 3-day sales of Volumes 32 and 33, the volume is 13.79% and 18.00% lower, but against older volumes, such as Volumes 26 and 27, the latest volume saw a 9.50% and 9.26% improvement in sales.

Additional Comments

Analysis

The latest physical sales performance of Ballroom e Youkoso is not looking so hot when compared to its past four volumes, all in their first 3 days. Volume 12 witnessed a 46.38%, 48.20%, 37.52% and 10.11% drop against Volumes 8 to 11. Seeing the gap that it has between its newest volume and its last, plus the absence of a new Anime season, it would seem that it has run out of momentum. However, the volume may see a rise in sales the week after.

Additional Comments

Note that Volume 11 was released back in April 16, 2021, therefore, there is a 1 year and slightly more than six months gap between the last volume and the latest volume.

Ballroom e Youkoso was adapted into a 24-episode TV Anime series that aired from July to December 2017 by Production I.G.

The Top Gun series is placed 1st on the weekly series chart as the entry of its discs into the Japanese market saw the Blu-ray plus DVD combo package did very well in its first 5 days, selling a total of 121,700 copies. As such, it saw physical sales worth 954.63 million yen (≈6.85 million USD) made for the week which also included sales from its Music segment.

One Piece takes the 2nd spot at 657.54 million (≈4.72 million USD), largely due to sales of its 104th volume as noted above (in the Top 30 Manga sales chart).
