The final volume of Kimetsu no Yaiba was finally out and released on the 4th of December, with some news reporting that people have been lining up on the day of its release, forming long queues in order to get their hands on the volume [source: Kyodo News]. Two volumes were released, the Regular and Limited Editions with the latter containing a figure of a character from the series. The sales of Kimetsu no Yaiba‘s volumes have been on an upward trajectory ever since last year, reaching a peak in February with the release of its 19th volume at 1,378,361 copies. The debut sales of its latest volumes dipped the following months, but were still very high before climbing up again in October when the release of Volume 20 hit a new record with 1,464,617 copies sold. It has been noted that publisher, Shueisha informed that it has readied 4 million copies of the final volume, but no expectation of how much the final volume is able to sell was mentioned [source: NHK]. It could reach near the 2 million copies sold mark, or even breach it.
The above chart is only comparisons among the Standard Edition of the volumes. The Special Editions did splendid as well on their debut days. Sales of Volume 22’s Special Edition were amounted to 739,662 copies back in October 2020.
As usual! It is thanks to the amazing 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! The data you find below can be accessed via Natalie.mu here. Plus, don’t forget to check out sites TSUTAYA and COMIC ZIN by clicking on their names below as this would not have been possible if not for them!
Interestingly, TSUTAYA’s chart has featured Jujutsu Kaisen occupying spots 6 to 10. The title is another one that is being on the rise with Oricon’s latest yearly chart noted that the series has sold 6,702,736 copies from November 2019 to November 2020. It had a splendid run from November 2 to November 8 and November 9 to November 15 selling 328,780 copies as well as 528,823 copies respectively. However, it was off the Oricon’s chart for the two weeks after.
