Dragon Ball Super is used to breaking records, and its manga is no exception. In the wake of the anime's end a few years back, many flooded the manga to get their dose of Dragon Ball goodness. That only doubled when a brand-new arc kicked off in the manga, and the most recent volume of Dragon Ball Super has hit a milestone thanks to its big sales.
Recently, Dragon Ball Super put out a new volume that covers an epic part of the Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc. After Moro returns to Earth to beat down the Z-Fighters, things take a turn when Goku and Vegeta show up. Many of those chapters are counted amongst volume 13, and that is why it had record sales it first week out.
According to reports, Dragon Ball Super's new volume sold nearly 113,000 copies its first week. That happens to be a record for the manga to date. This means hype is high for Dragon Ball Super's ongoing arc, and fans overseas are really eager to get their hands on the physical volume.
