One Piece overtook Jujutsu Kaisen in July Week 1 manga sales ranking… but neither was the best-selling title in June

Jul 13, 2024 01:12 AM IST

Takeru Hokazono’s Kagurabachi ranked as 1 of the most prominent manga series on Oricon's Weekly chart despite competing against other titles with an advantage.

One Piece emerged as the ultimate manga boss on Oricon's latest best sales rankings. The latest volume of Eiichiro Oda’s magnum opus (#109) was released on July 4, and its four-day sales up to July 7 were estimated at 811,541 copies, higher than Jujutsu Kaisen’s most recent volume. 

One Piece and Jujutsu Kaisen led both the best-selling weekly individual manga volume sales and series rankings on Oricon (July 1-7).

The 27th volume of Gege Akutami’s beloved series also came out on the same day as One Piece Vol 109, yet there was a significant gap between both of their four-day sales. Trailing behind One Piece, the JJK manga volume sold 582,069 copies.  

Irrespective of their individual numbers, the first week of July was a vastly successful affair for Japanese publishing company Shueisha Inc., as eight of the top ten best-selling weekly manga volumes were released under its banner. The remaining two belonged to Shogakukan Inc.

In addition to dominating the individual manga volume sales chart of the week, both One Piece and Jujutsu Kaisen also maintained their top-ranking positions on the weekly chart by series. Notably, Takeru Hokazono’s battle shonen manga Kagurabachi also held its 6th rank on both the charts despite its staunch competition against other titles whose popularity isn’t merely attributed to the manga community's fame, but also to their anime adaptations. 

Returning to the successful spells of fan-favourite series One Piece and Jujutsu Kaisen, neither of these titles even made it to the top 10 best-selling monthly comic series ranking for June 2024 on Oricon. The surprising winner in this domain turned out to be Naoya Matsumuto’s Kaiju No. 8

Meanwhile, an antithetical vision unfolded on the international front. The New York Times’s July list of best-selling Graphic Books and Manga unveiled My Hero Academia Vol 38 as the highest-ranking manga, which ultimately ranked #2 alongside other English graphic books. Kaiju No 8 Vol 10 sat at #5, with Berserk Deluxe Vol 1 coming in at #8, followed by Jujutsu Kaisen Vol 22 at #9. Chainsaw Man Vol 15 rounded out the Top 11 chart.
