Analysis

Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 19 debuted with 6.68% fewer copies sold compared to Volume 16, which sold 36,075 copies in their respective first 12 days. The latest volume also falls short in comparison to Volume 11 and Volume 17, which sold 50,145 and 42,103 copies, respectively, representing a decrease of 41.95% and 30.86% in their first 19 days. Even if Volume 19 had been available for seven additional days, it is unlikely to have caught up to the sales performance of these volumes. The graph below also indicates a significant disparity in the number of days of sales compared to other volumes. However, this latest outcome suggests a slight decline in sales for the series.
