The latest and final volume of Haikyuu!! went on sale on the 4th of November marking the Manga’s final run after 8 years of serialization. Volume 44 debuted with 345,258 copies sold back in August which was a small jump over Volume 43’s in May. The final volume could potentially have bigger sales in its first week, which may linger within the 400,000 copies sold range. It is not alone in the chart as it is accompanied with a special release by Shueisha in the form of a Guidebook (though the name is to-be-confirmed in English).
Chainsaw Man had an encouraging outing the week it came out back in August, an improvement over its Volume 7 which debuted at 94,813 copies in June. Volume 8 saw sales climbing by almost 30,000 copies to hit 124,568 copies in August. Given the series recent popularity, we can be positive that sales could either maintain or experience an upward trend. Dr. Stone on the other hand, has seen volatile sales with number of copies sold hitting a peak back in February. It sold 93,505 copies then. Sales have somewhat struggled to beat February’s sales, but managed to sell 89,044 copies in June before going down to 79,953 copies for Volume 17 in August. I expect it to sell better.

COMIC ZIN has some interesting faces as usual including some fairly new titles such as Governess Nazuna-san and Meika-san wa Oshikorosenai. The list however, provided three titles sharing the same placings. This includes Kimetsu no Yaiba Vol. 9, Meika-san wa Oshikorosenai Vol. 2 and Long Riders! Vol. 8. There isn’t much data on titles below other than Kimetsu no Yaiba. Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio did not make the Oricon chart previously, thus it is hard to make a prediction. Anyways, you can share if you have any! I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
