TSUTAYA Weekly Tankoubon Sales Ranking: February 7, 2022 to February 13, 2022

The slowdown of sales for Jujutsu Kaisen can be hardly felt here as only Volume 18 remains on the Top 20 while the rest has dropped off the chart. Boku no Hero Academia Volume 33 maintains its Number 1 position on the list after a grand opening the week before, however do expect copies sold to drop for the week. Nevertheless, we do get to see a great amount of new releases between February 7 and February 13, most are adaptations of their Light Novels of the same name.

First up is Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko Volume 8 which has 7 days of sales on the list. The Manga adaptation of the Light Novel began serialization through Manga UP! back in 2017, nearly two months after its Light Novel debut. Several of its chapters are available in Japanese for free right here, and it now has up to four volumes available officially in English with the 5th volume slated for release this coming August 2022. Note that in 2020, the title received a 12-episode Anime series adaptation by Maho Film, and it was announced in June 2021 that a sequel is planned, though on an unannounced date (Source: ANN). The Manga was last seen on the Top 30 with the release of its 7th volume at 79,328 copies in its first 7 days.

Number 3’s Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku Volume 13 is another title that you may be familiar with considering it received a 12-episode Anime series back in 2018, though no follow up season has been planned so far. It too is an adaptation of the Light Novel of the same name, and started its serialization way back in 2014. Its first and latest chapters are readable here for free in Japanese, so do check them out! The title has made more appearances on the Light Novel charts, but has occasionally been seen on the Top 30 Manga sales charts as well. Its final appearance was for Volume 12 at 48,691 copies in 3 days.

4th on the list is a title that has been struggling as of late. Chihayafuru has experienced continuous underwhelming performance of its past volumes especially Volumes 42 to 47. Note that Volume 45 for instance had 6 days of sales but could not produce the same result as Volumes 37 and 40, both had the same number of days, but at copies sold above 100,000 copies. Volume 48 is also its second final volume, and the Manga will end with its 49th volume according to ANN. The Manga was adapted into TV Anime series spanning three seasons by Madhouse with the last being broadcasted between October 2019 to March 2020. Thirty of its volumes are currently up for grabs officially in English, so do give it a try!

Moving on quickly, Number 6’s Tensei shitara Dainana Ouji Datta node, Kimama ni Majutsu wo Kiwamemasu Volume 6, Number 7’s Isekai Kenja no Tensei Musou Volume 5, and Number 9’s Tensei Kizoku, Kantei Skill de Nariagaru Volume 6 are all adaptation of their own respective Light Novels. The one you may want to keep a close watch on would be Tensei shitara Dainana Ouji Datta node, Kimama ni Majutsu wo Kiwamemasu which was placed 8th on the Next Manga Awards 2021, and it was last seen with its 5th volume at 38,338 copies sold in 7 days. Isekai Kenja no Tensei Musou on the other hand was placed 28th between June 28 and July 4 at 42,407 copies sold in its first 5 days whereas Tensei Kizoku, Kantei Skill de Nariagaru can be found at the 18th place on the Next Manga Awards 2021.

Rakudai Kenja no Gakuin Musou Volume 4 which places 8th is a series that does not have a regular appearance on the Top 30 charts, and was last seen with its 3rd volume at 39,694 copies in 7 days. Skip over to Number 12, and you will find Yurufuwa Nouka no Mojibake Skill: Isekai de Catalog Tsuuhan Yattemasu Volume 4, which has not found itself on any of the Top 30 charts since it began serialization. Some of its chapters can be read here for free in Japanese. Shinjiteita Nakama-tachi ni Dungeon Okuchi de Korosarekaketa ga Gift “Mugen Gacha” de Level 9999 no Nakama-tachi wo Te ni Irete Moto Party Member to Sekai ni Fukushuu & “Zamaa!” Shimasu! Volume 3 is 13th with some of its chapters can be checked out here for free in Japanese as well.

Number 15 places Yowamushi Pedal’s 76th volume at 6 days of sales. It has not been able to make consistent breaches into the Top 30 for several of its past volumes, however it did so with Volume 75 at 39,180 copies sold in 5 days. The title was adapted into Anime that spanned four seasons with the fifth expected to hit this year in October (Source: ANN). There are now up to twenty volumes available officially in English.

Number 15 is Yoku Wakaranai keredo Isekai ni Tensei shiteita you desu Volume 10, a gender bending Manga adaptation of the Light Novel which is slated to receive its official English debut this coming May the 24th. The series has also been said to have reached 1.2 million copies in circulation. You can read its first chapter right here for free in Japanese, so do give it a try! Seija Musou Volume 9 which comes right after is another Light Novel adaptation, but was never seen on the Top 30 charts since July 2019. Next is “Kouryakubon” wo Kushi Suru Saikyou no Mahoutsukai: “Meirei Sasero” to wa Iwasenai Oreryuu Maou Toubatsu Saizen Route Volume 6 which is 17th on the list. If you are interested, Square Enix has its first chapter up for free here in Japanese.

Then, Tensei Kenja no Isekai Life: Dai-2 no Shokugyou wo Ete, Sekai Saikyou ni Narimashita Volume 15 is 18th with 2 days of sales, so do not expect a big turnout for the volume. Nevertheless, copies sold have remained relatively stable for its past four volumes with 3 days sales at above 40,000 copies for Volumes 11 and 12 whereas Volumes 13 and 14 were at 62,156 copies and 52,675 copies each in their first 5 and 4 days. Sono Mono. Nochi ni…: Kigatsuitara S-kyuu Saikyou!? Yuusha Wazu no Daibouken Volume 5 is the last one on the list at Number 20. You can check out its first two chapters here in Japanese, and for easy access, here is the first chapter.
