Vol. 6 9,662 1,932 5
Vol. 7 9,138 1,828 5
Vol. 8 6,765 1,353 5
Analysis

My Dress-Up Darling Volume 8‘s performance is not as impressive as its previous three volumes, with a nearly 30% drop in sales compared to Volume 5 to 7. The reason for the decline is unclear, but it could be due to issues with the supply chain, although this seems unlikely as the volume is still stocked on Amazon and Right Stuf. Another possibility is that the Anime’s charm has faded, resulting in lower copies sold. Alternatively, the data produced here may be volatile, leading to a lower total number of copies sold than expected. It is best to observe the sales of future volumes to determine if the series is experiencing a downtrend in sales.
