JK getting top selling and by volume appearances. Very good. OP may not be #1 but its still one of the top selling series as expected. SnK appears as expected as well.

Those are some impressive numbers for Kimetsu no Yaiba and Jujutsu Kaisen and shows how a strong while adaptation can help a series' sales a lot. I'm hopeful the final volumes of One Piece experience as lofty sales as the above but Oda will still be happy with the numbers if they're similar to the current ones.
Here's hoping the sales figures for SpyxFamily continue to improve. Jump should have a variety of successful series in its stable. |

Most surprising to me is that while Tokyo Revengers is third on the list by series with almost 25 million copies in total (for 24 published volumes), it's completely absent from this list by volume. I guess spots 31 to 54 are all TR?
And good to see that One Piece is still doing pretty well. But you just can't compete with the bizarre numbers of those newer hot anime adaptations. OP has been going consistently strong for over two decades. While KnY still scores pretty darn good, it's less than half of last year. And I guess we'll see a similar pattern with JJK and TR next year. |

KnY's numbers from last year aren't sustainable, the fact that it added another milion per volume and is closing on 6M per volume (5.82M for 23 adding the 646k from the LE from december) is already pretty much beyond market limit. Getting close to last year's number would mean each volume would need to push around 8M individually, considering its closest competition in the oricon era is some one piece volume maybe having crossed 4M after years it's asking for way too much. |

Absolutely, last year's numbers were so absurd you'd almost forget the numbers this year are still pretty unique. As long as I've been following ANN only OP and SnK consistently sold multiple millions per volume, and only for the most recent volumes. KnY, JJK and also TR had some catching up to do which reflects in the totals. But while other series obviously got a boost from an anime adaptation, I don't think I've ever seen it on this level.
