The month of August ends with Tokyo Revengers still the king of sales after an excellent performance it displayed for the month of July which it then saw 3,026.9 million yen (~$27.5 million) worth of revenue made. Sales are unfortunately down 25.17％ to 2,264.9 million yen (~$20.6 million) for the month of August, but is still stronger than the 1,365.9 million yen (~$12.4 million) of sales it had for the month of May. Note that the series did not rank in June. It is too early to say whether sales are at a decline stage as more observation is needed in particular for the month of September especially with the impending release of Volume 24. The series experienced a sharp climb between Volume 22 and Volume 23, as much as 71.77% with the latter reporting 222,469 copies sold, up from the 62,812 copies Volume 22 had in its first week. It is safe to expect another increase in sales as the Anime is set to end two days after the release of Volume 24, and that people may start to pick up the Manga afterwards.
Tokyo Revengers Volume 24 is to hit shelves nationwide Japan this coming September the 17th!

Coming in at Number 2 is another title that have certainly surprised many. Uma Musume: Pretty Derby (TV) Season 2 remains consistent as it powers through the Anime Blu-ray charts as Volume 4 ended its opening week with 142,453 copies sold, its second best debut sales amongst the four available volumes. Revenue remains strong since the release of the first volume which then in the month of May recorded 1,394.3 million yen (~$12.7 million) worth of sales as a series. June 2021 is still the highest in terms of revenue it has seen at 2,415.1 million yen (~$22.0 million) before settling down at 1,903.3 million yen (~$17.3 million) in July. In total, the series has recorded 7,580.2 million yen (~$69.0 million) worth of revenue since May 2021!

With continuous improvement in sales, it is quite clear that Boku no Hero Academia would make the chart. The Manga has been seeing an uptrend in its two-week sales when it noted a 17.67% increase between Volume 28 and Volume 29. Four-week sales of its 31st volume went on to sell 634,347 copies, perhaps its best so far since 2019, and marks a 9.72% increase over Volume 30 for the same period. Led by Volume 31, total revenue for the month stands at 750.1 million yen (~$6.8 million).
