All four of the aforementioned volumes were released on the same day, that is on June the 1st. Head over to the 5th spot and you will find the latest volume for Spy x Family.
It is thanks to the wonderful folks over at ICv2 and Publishers Weekly that we get to see these charts on a monthly basis, so be sure to head over to their sites here (ICv2) and here (Publishers Weekly) and show them some love! Besides, all the data you find below is accessible via the two site right here (ICv2) and here (Publishers Weekly). If you are looking to get more data from the two sites, you can check out the links for ICv2 and Publishers Weekly here and here respectively. Note that the Blog is not sponsored by any of the two.
You will have a hard time getting hands on most of the titles be it new or old down below. Publishers Weekly recently reported that the supply chain is disrupted due to pandemic-related printing and shipping delays, and the continuous growth of demand has not made it easy to address the current shortages. According to Kevin Hamric, the Vice President at VIZ Media, the problem will definitely not be sorted out this year. Therefore, expect reprints and supply to return back to normal, hopefully in 2022.
