| Does this mean Demon Slayer sold an additional 26 million after November 2020 ? Damn. |
| kny placing first on 3/4 of them, damn. as expected tho. jjk dominating the sales by volume too, good for them |
| Kusuriya no Hitorigoto got the third rank in the light novel ranking. I hope this series will get an anime adaptation soon. It is a great series after all. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Damn KNY still going strong somebody stop this series. And AoT too, all this backlash about a horrible ending and people burning series and making petitions to make their own endings and shit and it still sells so good. Man whats wrong with these fans. |
 |
| I expected kny to have those numbers but damn did Jujutsu Kaisen surprised me. Manga sure is growing pretty fast. |

| Tokyo Revengers going strong. |
 |
| Amazing! Jujutsu is in all tops! Waiting for the prequel movie and season 2 and more seasons to adapt all the manga!! |
 |
| Looks like there's a lot of interest in flashy modern takes on Japanese folklore. One Piece has been dethroned. Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen manga sales have surpassed One Piece's and MHA consistently beats it in anime viewership. Though, most surprising to me is the popularity of Tokyo Revengers. |
 |
| No doubt what two series are dominating the charts, lol. It's really good to see Tokyo Revengers and Shingeki no Kyojin up there too! And Chainsaw Man too although I've no experience with it. Surprised by no One Piece, definitely hoping to see it come back stronger for the remaining half of the year. |

Fruscio said: RIP One Piece. Only a second "Shanks Entrance" could save you from reaching the peak sales you once had. why One Piece low sales? |
| I'm kinda surprised to see Tokyo Revengers in top 3. |
| Japan and their battle shounen obsession. |

Rogerhunter said: Fruscio said: RIP One Piece. Only a second "Shanks Entrance" could save you from reaching the peak sales you once had. why One Piece low sales? I doesn't really have low sales, it just has a steady release of volumes that each sell well but it simply doesn't have the kind of mass buy phenomena that Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen have become, no doubt because their respective anime adaptations have been so successful. If you have tons of new fans buying all the volumes it's easily going to surpass a decades old series where the dedicated readers already have all the old ones. |
| I wonder how many of these are kids taking money in secret just to buy some shounen manga smh |
RNG best girl!!! RNG best waifu!! RNG is life!Long live RNG! |
| wow love to see KnY JJK and Chainsaw there but JJK just have 15 valume when KnY is 23(of course KnY did very well till now and it arleady sold alot and its not that new like JJK) but JJK will surpass KnY in sec Half bro:x and glad to see finaly AOT dissapiring from rankings:) chainsaw man did well without anime |
| Nice to see Tokyo Revengers doing well, I'm reading the manga right now and its really good. AoT, JJK, and KnY continues to dominate in manga sales. It's only a matter of time before Chainsaw Man doubles its sales when the anime for that series comes out. I expect Spy x Family to blow up too. |

Man whats wrong with these fans. except these sales are about the first half of the year and don't include the final volume which hasn't even be published yet |
| Don't really understand the sensitive takes in this thread with people complaining battle shonen the genre that has always been super popular is dominating in sales. I mean sure it would be nice if Oricon released more sales numbers instead of just the top 5 but what did you expect lol? Also was honestly surprised that Chain Saw Man and Tokyo Revengers are doing as well as they are. Ramkec said: Damn KNY still going strong somebody stop this series.

While over reactions to any media is incredibly stupid there is nothing wrong with being critical. Naruto still sold well towards the end of it's life but plenty fans found it flawed. There isn't anything wrong with that. |

| Welp, not surprised to see Kimetsu no Yaiba and Jujutsu Kaisen dominating the list. Pleasant surprise to see Tokyo Revengers on the list too, at least. |

Those who make the most noise do not represent the majority. An example of this is the last of us 2, a lot of noise was made with that game but in the end it sold very well and it is GOTY 2020. |
top 6-10 by manga series https://twitter.com/WSJ_manga/status/1399085940681936898/ |
| Mass volumes of the big boosts are killing the lists, fucking awful for the last 2 years. Can't even see what else sells since they are now pushed down by nearly 40 volumes of 2 series. Also one piece posters making excuses, it sold 3 million+ several years ago per vol, now it can't even break 1 million in the first week, LMAO |
 |
| It's good to see Re:Zero on that list, such an amazing series. |
| Wow KnY even dominating LN sales, Japan really loves their Demon Slayers huh Good to see Chainsaw Man in the top 5. |
 |
Avinash_rtw said: release of second season again gonna boost its sales only series I can think have potential to beat kny is jjk thats what im trying to say:p |
| I honestly had no clue JJK was that strong good lord. GG both JJK and KNY. Wonder what will happen to CSM bruh. |
| Chainsaw Man will be a heavy hitter versus Jujutsu Kaisen and Kimetsu no Yaiba if MAPPA makes a quality adaptation. It's surprising how far he has managed to get without an anime |
 |
| As expected Demon Slayer continues to stay top. I'm grateful to see Jujutsu Kaisen trailing behind and surprised to see Chainsaw Man at #5. I expect to see a huge boost in sales once the Anime is adapted. |

| "I think I wanted to attack something. Like betraying people or hurting people. And, well, it's not exactly nice, but hurting the readers too... In all honestly, I feel that's what I really wanted to do. For me, as a reader, when I think, "this manga will remain in my heart," it means, for example, it phenomenally hurt me: It's those kinds of experiences I'm after." - Pajime Hisayama (My favourite hurting author). |

I don't think jjk will be able to take #1 from KnY for 2021. S2(every shit after S1 is amazing as well) will give the sales a major boost. There are also a very high probability of another 'ep19' plus it is KnY, every thing it has done so far is like a miracle and was unpredictable. Also Jjk's anime boost seems to be fading. Jjk might take the #1 spot for 2022. This are just my predictions though. I might be wrong in future ofc. TR and chainsaw are also tough competitors. y it was miracle but jjk valume sales broke record too like most selling valume in intial print with 1.5 copy:xD so yeah jjk will definitly get KNY after valume 17 and 18(but both of them are my favorite series) |
Interesting to see Yakusoku no Neverland in 6th despite its terrible anime adaptation. It's possible the bad anime made more people want to buy the manga and find out how it should have gone, instead of the dumpster fire we got instead. |
| Lmao. KnY still rocking the sales even after ending a year ago. If it had gone on for a 2-3 more years it even had the potential to catch up to One Piece. JJK is also getting popular but it still needs that "blow-up" that KnY got.... |

Mr_Srijan said: Lmao. KnY still rocking the sales even after ending a year ago. If it had gone on for a 2-3 more years it even had the potential to catch up to One Piece. not even close... it needs to go for like 10 more years or until it reach around 50 volumes selling at least 10 million each to surpass the current overall sales of one piece |

It is no. 9 most highest selling manga ever and it started in 2016. Not any other recent manga are even close. One piece has managed to sell around 500 million in 25 years. Also, KnY sold record 82 million last year. It has humungous popularity in Japan and that was rising exponentially. At that rate, it could have easily overtaken One Piece in a few years (if not 2-3 years). |

| I wished I enjoyed JJK half as much as its fans do... |

That's 125 million copies in 14 months. And it's popularity was still rising exponentially in Japan (thanx to the anime adaptation). If we go by only the earlier rate rate, in less than 5 years it would have crossed 500 million mark.... It sold 82 million copies in a year while Kingdom was at number 2 and One piece at number 3 with only 8 million. That's how hugely it blew up. Bruh, the manga became 9th highest selling manga ever in just 4 years while other super popular mangas like MHA, Haikyuu etc have been going on for way longer time and have barely managed 50 million sales in all this time. Hell, it left behind some of the all time popular - HxH, Rurouni kenshin, Bleach etc. The only shounen manga with more sales than demon slayer is Dragonball, Naruto and One piece, which all ran for 15-25 years. |
