TSUTAYA and COMIC ZIN Weekly Tankoubon Sales Ranking via Natalie: September 27, 2021 to October 3, 2021

3-gatsu no Lion Volume 16 tops the TSUTAYA weekly Top 10 chart with its Regular Edition leading the pack at Number 1, while the Special Edition can be found placing 10th for the week. Sales have not been as strong since Volume 13 which recorded 658,058 copies sold in its first 10 days of sales, while Volume 14 and Volume 13 are visibly lower in terms of sales produced. Despite Volume 15 having taken into account a day longer, it still could not match the sales of the previous two volumes, and the Anime did not seem to add any extra boost. With its potentially decline trajectory, we may see fewer copies sold made for Volume 16, however with its 5-day sales, it may be able to push number of copies higher than Volume 15 in its first 4 days.

At Number 2 is Kuroshitsuji Volume 31. Previously, the series saw 209,947 copies sold for Volume 30 in its first 6 days, and Volume 29 recorded 148,306 copies sold in 3 days. Oricon’s two-week sales put the two volumes at roughly 280,000 copies each, but with Volume 30 having longer days of sales of 13 days. You can expect the title’s 31st volume to see a bigger number of copies sold as it will have 7 days of sales when Oricon publishes its weekly chart. Expect copies sold to hover around 200,000 copies sold or more.

Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun Volume 16 comes in 4th for the week. The series did get a push after the broadcast of its Anime with Volume 13 seeing 113,825 copies sold in its first 5 days. Volume 3, though witnessed lower copies sold of 77,859 with an average sales of 25,953 copies due to its short days of sales. Although Volume 15 went on sale longer when its number of copies sold were considered, average copies sold dropped to 16,623 copies for its first 6 days as it accumulated 99,736 copies sold. Expect its copies sold to increase slightly for Volume 16 as it will capture 7 days of sales, and if it ends up selling less, it will be too soon to say whether if sales are slowing down for the title.

You might be surprised to see Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 17 to be on the list. It settles in at Number 5 on TSUTAYA’s chart. This is certainly due to its pre-release sales, though do not expect that many copies to have been sold as I believe it may only account sales produced on the 3rd of October. I have started a survey on how many copies sold does the community expect the 17th volume to sell with most suggesting between 1.2 million to 1.3 million copies so far. Note that it will have 7 days of sales when Oricon publishes its chart the following week, and as such it is highly plausible that it can easily achieve the amount as suggested. We can be a little bit more positive and expect it to sell between 1.3 million to 1.4 million copies as both Volumes 15 and 16 had fewer days of sales, yet managed to sell 1,138,798 copies and 1,165,681 copies respectively..

Move a spot lower and you will find the 1st volume of Disney Twisted Wonderland – Episode of Heartslabyul by Wakana Hazuki and Koono Sumire. Volume 1 can in fact be previewed here for those of you who are interested. Kidou Senshi Gundam Thunderbolt Volume 18 settles in at Number 9. Its previous two volumes could not perform well enough to find spots on Oricon Top 30 charts. It last made an appearance for Volume 15 which had 38,063 copies sold it is first 3 days.
