TSUTAYA Weekly Tankoubon Sales Ranking: January 31, 2022 to February 6, 2022

Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 18 has finally been toppled off after reigning on the TSUTAYA charts for six consecutive weeks as it makes way for the 33rd volume of Boku no Hero Academia. The series has been seeing positive turnouts for its last few volumes, in particular Volume 32 which reported perhaps one of its best so far seeing copies sold as high as 452,736 in its first 7 days. Previously, the Manga had 429,673 copies sold for its 29th volume within the same number of days. Volume 33 will be on the Oricon sales chart with copies sold in its first 3 days. Expect a turnout of between 240,000 copies to 270,000 copies. Apart from that, the Anime adaptation is looking to have its 6th season this coming Fall 2022. So do check out the promotional video below if you have missed it!

All of the data you find below is 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! Plus, for the week’s chart, you can find it through the link right here.

The week also features a plethora of other new releases starting with the 2nd volume of The Fable: The Second Contact the sequel of Katsuhisa Minami’s Manga “The Fable”. The follow up title began serialization on July 19, 2021 through Young Magazine of which several of its chapters are viewable here for free in Japanese. Volume 1 did quite well in its first 3 days between November 1 and November 7 to sell 32,620 copies. It was ranked 11th the week after at 42,956 copies, putting its total 10-day sales at 75,576 copies sold. It should see a similar outcome with its 2nd volume.

Coming in 4th is Higeki no Genkyou to Naru Saikyou Gedou Last Boss Joou wa Tami no Tame ni Tsukushimasu. Volume 3 which is the Manga adaptation of the Light Novel of the same name. You can check out several of its chapters for free right here, but in case you are not able to find it on the page, Chapter 1 is viewable here. Right after is Owari no Seraph Volume 26 a title that has been struggling for some time now. Copies sold used to at least be above 100,000 copies sold in just 3 days, but it has not been able to achieve similar feats with its latest volumes. For instance, Volumes 22 and Volume 24 had 3-day sales which only amounted to 50,000 copies sold whereas Volume 12 was at 125,282 copies. Volume 26 will have 3 days of sales too, so it is expected to see around 50,000 copies sold.

The spin-off title to Boku no Hero Academia, Boku no Hero Academia: Team Up Mission can be found at the 7th spot. The 1st chapter can be accessed for free right here in Japanese. Sakkon no Cinderella wa Kutsu wo Otosanai. Volume 2 which is 9th on the list is a title that started serialization on June 5, 2020 by authors Emu Osanai and Akira Shikibu through Zero-Sum Online magazine. Some of its chapters can be found here for free in Japanese with Chapter 1 viewable just right here. Number 11’s Ouji-sama ni Dekiai sarete Komattemasu: Tensei Heroine, Otome Game Funtouki Volume 2 is the Manga adaptation of the Light Novel of the same name with some of its chapters are readable via Comic Pixiv right here, so do check them out!

Number 12 is most likely a title that many of you are familiar with considering the Anime adaptation is currently being broadcasted with Studio A-CAT at the helm of the project. The Manga is an adaptation of the Light Novel which began serialization in 2016 via Comic Ride. Some of its chapters are free in Japanese via its Manga page, so be sure to give it a try.
