TSUTAYA Weekly Manga Sales Ranking: January 9 – January 15, 2023

There have been some changes to the reporting style here on the Blog. Please refer to the post here for further information.

All of the data you find below are all thanks to TSUTAYA, one of Japan’s largest bookstores chain which has around 1,200 stores in its local market. You can check out their website here and show them lots of love! As for access to TSUTAYA’s weekly sales charts, you can no longer do that on their website. Instead, you will have to download their app as noted here, though it will be difficult to access without having an account associated with Japan and a VPN. To access the sales data, be sure to click on the “Analytics” accordion and then click “Chart”. This should bring you to the Google chart page that contains the latest available sales data.

Without further ado, the full Top 30 is as follows:

2 thoughts on “TSUTAYA Weekly Manga Sales Ranking: January 9 – January 15, 2023

  1. Hello Erzat! Thank you for your efforts.
    I downloaded Tsutaya app and got to the ranking but I don’t see an analytics or chart button. and the data is up to jan 14 and the weekly isn’t updated yet. Do I need to register an account to see the buttons and google chart?

    1. Hey!

      The way I do it is to have a VPN set to Japan, then create an email account which location is set to Japan then access the Japanese app store. I downloaded the TSUTAYA app there.

      I tried with my normal (country based) account and downloaded the APK originally, but it wouldn’t work. It couldn’t be updated nor are the charts the latest ones.

      If you need further assistance, feel free to email me at: erzat.blog@gmail.com
