TSUTAYA and COMIC ZIN Weekly Tankoubon Sales Ranking via Natalie: December 13, 2021 to December 19, 2021

Tokyo Revengers leads TSUTAYA’s sales chart for the week between December 13 to December 19 with its 25th volume at 3 days of sales. Copies sold were at a steady rise from Volumes 22 to 24, all of which had 3 days of sales when charted on Oricon Manga sales chart, buoyed by the positive impact of its TV Animation series that ran from April 11 to September 19, 2021. However, we may not see a significant jump in sales like the one that happened from Volume 22 to Volume 23, and Volume 23 to Volume 24. As such, we may see a similar turnout. With sales of Manga on a crawl as of late, it may note fewer copies sold than Volume 23.

It is thanks to the wonderful folks over at Natalie.mu that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis, so be sure to head over to their site here and show them lots of love! Plus, all the data you find below is accessible via Natalie.mu right here. If you prefer Google charts, I have left the links to their respective charts at the bottom of the post.

Number 5 is Uma Musume Cinderella Volume 5, a series that has been doing really well recently. Volume 3 saw 93,287 copies sold in its first 5 days whereas Volume 4 did even better at 148,572 copies sold within the same number of days. We may see a lower turnout for Volume 5 considering the fact that it will only have 3 days of sales when charted on the Oricon sales chart. But, judging from its past two volumes performances, sales will most likely stay above 100,000 copies sold for the 5th volume.

Aka Akasaka’s Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen places 6th with its 24th volume. Sales were on a roller coaster ride seeing a weak performance by its 22nd volume which 5 days of sales at the time churned out only 146,590 copies as opposed to Volumes 16 and 20’s 148,913 copies and 161,263 copies in their first 4 days. Copies sold recovered for Volume 23 at 153,363 copies in its first 4 days. Volume 24 will have 3 days of sales on the chart, as such outcome should be closer to that of Volumes 19 or 21. So expect somewhere between 120,000 copies to 130,000 copies. 

Skip over to Number 8 and you will find Golden Kamuy Volume 28. Sales remained rather stable for the series with Volumes 22, 23, 26 and 27 which had 3 days of sales produced above 90,000 copies sold when charted, though Volume 24 did the best at 102,546 copies. The rest had 4 days of sales with copies sold at roughly around 140,000 copies for Volumes 19 to 21, however that number fell to 116,341 copies for Volume 25 which had 4 days of sales too. We can expect Volume 28 to see a similar turnout of 90,000 copies sold and above. Yet, we may have to prepare for a possible decline for Volume 28 of under 90,000 copies.

Right after is Blue Lock’s 17th volume at Number 9. Previously, the series did 48,181 copies sold for Volume 16 in its first 3 days. Very likely that Volume 17 will see a similar result or much more. Copies sold were high for Volume 15 at 6 days of sales of 95,396 copies, which is an improvement over Volume 14’s 79,726 copies sold in its first 7 days.

Then, at Number 10 is Tensei Kizoku no Isekai Boukenroku: Jichou wo Shiranai Kamigami no Shito Volume 7, a Manga adaptation of the Light Novel of the same name, publishing through Mag Garden’s MAGCOMI magazine. You can check out some of its chapters available for free right here in Japanese.

There are a couple of releases you would definitely not want to miss on COMIC ZIN’s chart. First up would be Souryuu’s Kouiu no ga Ii Volume 2, a fairly new series which started serialization from October 16, 2020 via Tonari no Young Jump magazine. The author has worked on a plethora of titles, though mostly on very NSFW works. Some of the author’s ongoing work right now include: Machigatta Ko wo Mahou Shoujo ni Shiteshimatta and Black Gakkou ni Tsutometeshimatta Sensei. You can check out the several chapters of Kouiu no ga Ii for free right here in Japanese.

If you are really, really a big fan of the Tokyo Ghoul series, the author, Sui Ishida’s new work goes for a simultaneous release for two of its first volumes placing Number 4 and Number 6 for the week. Choujin X began serialization in May of this year also through Tonari no Young Jump with up to Chapter 15 available in Japanese. Better yet, Manga Plus is having simulreleases of its chapters in several languages including English, so be sure to head over here and give it a try!

Jump over to Number 8 and you will find Kimi no Koto ga Daidaidaidaidaisuki na 100-nin no Kanojo Volume 8. The series is published via Shueisha’s Young Jump magazine and has made two appearances before on COMIC ZIN’s sales chart. Feel free to give its first few chapters a try here, available in Japanese.

Number 9 is probably a title that you are familiar with as it received an Anime adaptation by 8bit studio back between January 10 to May 27, 2020. Oshi ga Budoukan Ittekuretara Shinu Volume 8 is a series by Auri Hirao which is serialized in Comic Ryu magazine. Several of its chapters are available for free in Japanese including the first chapter right here.
