TSUTAYA and COMIC ZIN Weekly Tankoubon Sales Ranking via Natalie: September 6, 2021 to September 12, 2021

Slowdown of Tokyo Revengers volumes carry on into the second week of September with none of its volumes making onto the TSUTAYA’s Top 10 list, though it should still see decent sales for its individual volumes as they build up towards the release of Volume 24, which is expected to hit shelves this coming September the 17th.

The week between September 6 to September 12 features a modest turnout of new releases for TSUTAYA with MF Ghost Volume 12 leading the chart at Number 3. Sales were seen to be on a roller coaster ride for the series, topping at 90,058 copies sold before Volume 8 and Volume 9 dragged to 55,486 copies and 50,389 copies respectively. Then, debut sales rose to 72,417 copies for Volume 10, but it fell 13.28% for Volume 11 in its opening week. Expect sales to hover between 55,000 copies to 65,000 copies sold for Volume 12 in its first week.

Coming in at Number 8 is Darwin’s Game Volume 24. Previously, its Volume 23 were ranked on Oricon’s Top 30 chart at 29,861 copies sold, skipping Volume 22 which failed to see enough copies sold to place it on the list the week of its release. Prior to that, Volume 21 did fairly well to see 41,325 copies sold in its first week. In 2020, the series received an Anime adaptation done by studio Nexus, and a Special was released in between the broadcast of Season 1.

At Number 9 is Gokushufudou Volume 8. Sales were very good for the series’ past volumes seeing Volume 6 breaching the 100,000 copies mark in its first week. Volume 4 were at 93,171 copies sold, whereas Volume 5 and Volume 6 sold slightly under 90,000 copies. The Manga was turned into a five-episode Netflix series which ran back in April, and a sequel was announced to begin this coming October. With the Anime already out, we should hopefully see better sales performance.

In January, it made a decent debut with 40,195 copies sold for its 10th volume. Without further ado, the full list is as follows:
