TSUTAYA and COMIC ZIN Weekly Tankoubon Sales Ranking via Natalie: October 11, 2021 to October 17, 2021

Jujutsu Kaisen remains steadfast in its position refusing to budge from the 1st spot it achieved the week before. The title is followed by the latest release of Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon Volume 3 at Number 2, and its Special Edition can be found four spots below at Number 6. Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon last made its appearance back in September 2020 with the 2nd volume selling 101,643 copies in its first 5 days. Note that its Light Novel, of which it is adapted from, is really popular in its home country. Volume 5 went on to stay for eight weeks on Oricon’s Light Novel sales chart, and a total of 147,741 copies were sold during the period. It is quite likely that the Manga will see a better turnout considering Volume 3 having one day longer on the chart compared to Volume 2.

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! Plus, all the data you find below is accessible via Natalie.mu right here. Don’t forget to visit sites TSUTAYA and COMIC ZIN by clicking on their names below as these lists would have not been made possible if not for them!

Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii Volume 11 places 3rd for the week. Its three week sales for the past three volumes have however shown a decline in sales trend. Note that Volume 9 had an extra 2-day of sales in the three-week chart. Its latest, Volume 10 experienced a small drop in sales when compared to Volume 8, which like Volume 10 had 3 days of sales. 178,357 copies were sold for Volume 8 on Week 1 when charted whereas Volume 10 could only manage 143,357 copies sold. It should see better copies sold with Volume 11 as it will have 4 days of sales on the chart, and if it sells less than Volume 10, it may not bode well for the series.

At Number 5 is Detective Conan. Though, if it gets onto Oricon sales chart this coming Friday, expect low number of copies sold as they will be pre-sales where at most only a day or two worth of sales are taken into account. Nevertheless, the Manga has been performing quite well for the past three volumes. A dip was observed between Volume 97 and Volume 98 by 20.30% before climbing back back to almost hit 300,000 copies sold for Volume 99. While copies sold will not be as many this time around, expect a stronger rebound the following week as it will have 7 days of sales on the chart.

Blue Lock Volume 16 places 7th for the week, and if you inspect its sales performance further, you will notice a bump between Volume 14 and Volume 15 by 16.43%. However, Volume 14 took into account 7 days of sales at the time with an average 11,389 copies sold a day in its first week. Volume 15 had a day less with 15,899 copies sold on average. Unfortunately, Volume 16 will most likely see a weaker turnout on the week’s chart given the fact that it only has three days of sales. Looking at how well it has been doing, it is quite plausible that it would hit roughly 50,000 copies sold in its first 3 days.

Right below is Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card-hen Volume 11. Volume 10 saw its 4-day sales at 54,943 copies sold when charted hence the low number. Both Volume 7 and Volume 9 had 6 days of sales, but the latter recorded fewer number of copies sold than the first by 20.87%. Volume 8 would have seen better copies sold than Volume 9 had it sold a day longer. Volume 11 is having 5 days of sales, therefore it should see a better outcome than Volume 10. Hopefully the slowdown of sales for Tokyo Revengers volumes may help it to see an improved number of copies sold.

The final new release on TSUTAYA’s Top 10 chart is Enen no Shouboutai Volume 31. Volume 26 and Volume 30 do benefit from the higher number of days of sales, allowing the two to see a better turnout at 91,486 copies and 85,882 copies sold respectively. But, when put side-by-side, Volume 30 noticed fewer copies sold than Volume 26 despite having the same number of days of sales. Volume 27 and Volume 29 may have been its best considering the shorter days of sales they had. Volume 27 had 5 days of sales while Volume 29 at 4 days of sales, yet copies sold remain strong for the two. Volume 31 3-day sales should put it closer to Volume 28’s performance. Do expect somewhere around 50,000 copies to 55,000 copies sold.
