As for copies sold, Chainsaw Man saw strong sales for its 7th volume within its first 26 days of sales at 38,883 copies sold. This is significantly better than sales made for Volume 4 which also saw the same number of days of sales when charted. Also, it is a decent improvement from Volume 5 which had 33 days of sales. However, Volume 6 would have had more copies sold if it were charted with the same number of days. Copies sold for Volume 6 appeared lower due to its shorter 19 days of sales.

As mentioned above, Attack on Titan Volume 34 did considerably well taking into account its short 12 days of sales. Copies sold are at a very good 38,714 copies sold. Note that it last made its debut back with Volume 33 at 23,550 copies sold in its first 26 days. As such, Volume 34 saw quite the major bump in number of copies sold debut-to-debut.

Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 12 is 3rd at 29,827 copies sold. Though it appears to have tanked from Volume 11 as copies sold have fallen sharply. Note that Volume 11 only had 19 days of sales. It is still unknown whether this is amid the supply issue the US is facing at the moment, however that could make a strong case. Nevertheless, the amount of copies sold still fared better than Volume 9 which had 26 days of sales. Volume 10 had 33 days of sales, hence the higher number of copies sold.

Spy x Family Volume 6 on the other hand, faced better copies sold debut-to-debut with its 4th volume which with the same number of days of sales accumulated 12,272 copies in the month of its release. Volume 6 saw 22.34% higher copies sold than the volume at 15,802 copies. Volume 5 was at 18,653 copies in its first 33 days. Note that the title is set to receive an Anime adaptation which will be produced in collaboration between Wit Studio and CloverWorks. Do check out its trailer below if you missed it!

Then, head over to Number 7 and you will find Wotakoi’s 5th volume at quite a good 15,804 copies sold in its first 26 days. Then at Number 9 is One-punch Man’s 23rd volume at 13,356 copies sold in 26 days.
