The month of November witnessed few new releases on ICv2’s chart between October 31 to November 27 with Demon Slayer Complete Box Set leading the charge at Number 1. However, Publishers Weekly has omitted the release on their very own chart. It is quite highly probable that the Complete Box Set has sold above 30,000 copies by looking at Publishers Weekly chart (note that ICv2 took into account only 4-week sales). The Complete Box Set was initially set to release earlier, but many reported, and had experienced multiple times of delays amid production issues. Luckily for myself, my order was delayed only once, and I managed to get my hands on it some time in mid November. The Complete Box Set is out of stock nearly everywhere, though you may find one on Amazon at quite a hefty price. If you would like to check out what the product is like, feel free to watch the unboxing video I made for it right here.
A million thanks to those amazing 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 tonnes of love!
