TSUTAYA and COMIC ZIN Weekly Tankoubon Sales Ranking via Natalie: November 15, 2021 to November 21, 2021

Kingdom Volume 63 tops TSUTAYA sales chart for the week between November 15 to 21 with its last appearance being back in July 2021. Sales of Volume 62 at the time was at 349,862 copies in its first 3 days, displaying a downward trend especially when compared to Volumes 58 to 60, all of which had higher sales with the same number of days. Volume 63, its latest, will see 3 days of sales when charted in this week’s Oricon sales chart, therefore it is crucial for it to amass above copies sold made by Volume 62. As competition is not going to be as stiff as before, it may very well do so.

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 all the way down below.

At Number 2 is a title that has been gaining popularity recently. Sousou no Frieren made its debut with sales of Volume 5 at perhaps its best performance ever as sales peaked at 177,334 copies sold in its first 3 days. Volume 4 which did quite well too at 115,912 copies sold in its first 5 days. At the time of Volume 4’s release, Volumes 1 to 3 were also charted along to see the series cumulative sales hitting 248,365 copies sold. This came after the series was announced to have won the Manga Taisho 2021 award on March the 16th 2021. If all goes well, it may see a similar turnout for its 6th volume.

Kakkou no Iinazuke (No. 4) has been seeing a steady number of copies sold at 50,000 copies in their first 3-day debuts for Volumes 5 to 8 with a drop experienced between Volume 6 and 7 of 12.89%. The number of copies sold however, had a minute climb with the release of the 8th volume at 52,010 copies in its first 3 days. Volume 9 should see stronger sales given that it will be having 5 days of sales when charted on Oricon. That should put it between sales of Volumes 3 and 4, both at 4 and 6 days respectively. Expect copies sold to be around 60,000 copies sold if everything goes well.

As for Shangri-La Frontier: Kusoge Hunter, Kamige ni Idoman to su at Number 6, it was last seen with Volumes 4 and 5 at 38,450 copies and 51,503 copies sold respectively back in June and August 2021. Volume 5 had longer days of sales of 6 days as opposed to Volume 4’s 4 days. Volume 6 will be having 5 days of sales when charted, as such it should see somewhere between 40,000 to 50,000 copies sold.

It is quite interesting to see that Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari’s “Oshi no Ko” not placed together with Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen this time around. Nevertheless, “Oshi no Ko” Volume 6 should see a strong turnout for its volume. Previously, the title’s Volumes 4 and 5 reported a steady and roughly 95,000 copies sold with the latter volume having a slight edge over the other. But, copies sold could potentially come out weaker since Volume 6 will only have 3 days on the chart. That said, a bigger number of copies sold in such a short span of time would be most welcome.

Of course, not to forget is the sequel to Nanatsu no Taizai, Mokushiroku no Yonkishi Volume 4 at Number 8 for the week. The series had a good start with Volume 1 at 35,796 copies and Volume 2 at 51,142 copies sold. Unfortunately, it could not see Volume 3 placed on Oricon’s sales chart the week of its release. Instead, it was ranked 23rd the following week on the chart at 36,246 copies. Volume 4 should be able to see a good number of copies sold this time around seeing sales have slowed down for other popular titles such as Tokyo Revengers.

As for COMIC ZIN, Nekoguchi’s Amano Megumi wa Sukidarake! saw simultaneous releases of its 27th and 28th volumes which came out on the same day. Both place 1st and 2nd respectively. Note that the 28th volume is the final volume of the series. The title first began publication on August 25 and was serialized in Shounen Sunday. You can check out previews of its 1st volume right here in Japanese.

Tonikaku Kawaii’s 18th volume is 3rd for the week. The title received an Anime adaptation by Seven Arcs which aired back between October to December, 2020. Nearly one year later, it received an OVA titled Tonikaku Kawaii: SNS on August 18. The good news is that it was recently announced that the Anime will receive a sequel on an unannounced date. Do check out its official announcement down below! The Manga has been in turmoil due to strong competition from titles such as: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Jujutsu Kaisen and Tokyo Revengers. Thus, its appearances on Oricon sales charts’ Top 30 fluctuate a lot. It was last seen for Volume 16 placing 16th at 38,636 copies sold in June 2021, then Volume 12 at 36,329 copies sold in August 2020.

Head over to Number 4 and you will find Houkago Teibou Nisshi Volume 8, another title you may be familiar with. The title too had an Anime adaptation which was broadcasted in September 2020. The Manga is currently published through Young Champion Retsu with some of its Volume 1 now available for read for free in Japanese until December 2, 2021. So do check it out!

Kubo-san wa Mob wo Yurusanai at Number 5 with its 5th volume has made a couple of appearances on TSUTAYA’s chart before this. The title is serialized in Young Jump magazine with several of its chapters available for free here in Japanese. Sabageppanashi Volume 9 is 7th while Amagami-san Chi no Enmusubi Volume 3 is 9th for the week. If you are interested, do check out both titles right here (for the first) and here (for the latter).
