Top Manga Sold in the US: July 2022

It was a pretty slow month for July as past titles dominate the ICv2’s Top 20 list with the Top 6 will be further discussed in the Publishers Weekly section. At Number 8 of ICv2’s list is Tokyo Revengers (Omnibus) Volumes 1-2 which was released on July 26 and had a strong start of 13,800 copies sold in its first 5 days. The Liminal Zone by Junji Ito at Number 9 and Berserk Deluxe Volume 11 at Number 11 were both released on the same day with Tokyo Revengers (Omnibus) Volumes 1-2, but failed to chart on Publishers Weekly’s Trade Paper Frontlist chart.

Now, as for the best-selling Manga for the month, that would be My Hero Academia Volume 31, sitting atop of the list at 38,816 copies sold in its first 26 days. The performance of its latest volume is stronger than Volumes 26 and 27 in their first 28 days, however, it does not seem to be able to reach the feat of Volumes 29 and 30 which 28 days and 30 days netted each of the volume 51,321 copies and 57,071 copies sold respectively. Note that as for Volume 30, to even out the sales performance with the rest, I added both sales data for the month of February (2 days) and March (28 days).

Then, we have Kaiju No. 8 Volume 3 at 27,150 copies sold in its first 19 days, a much better outcome than Volume 2 which sold 23,793 copies in its first 26 days back in April this year. It unfortunately failed to place a spot for Volume 1 back in December 2021.

As for the rest, Chainsaw Man Volume 11’s 18,088 copies sold would put its year-to-date sales so far at 91,442 copies whereas Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 16’s 17,587 copies sold would be at 53,662 copies. Spy x Family Volume 1 saw a reduction of 41.25% from the month before where it sold 49,482 copies to 29,071 copies, and Kimetsu No Yaiba Volume 1 dropped 26.92% to 21,064 copies from 28,822 copies.Without further ado, the full list is as follows:
