Still, the overall info shows what series are trending the best, and they belong to manga’s top publishers.

Jujutsu Kaisen pulled home a win for Shonen Jump, and that was not the only win from Shueisha. In fact, about half of this list was made up of Shueisha titles including Demon Slayer and My Hero Academia. Kondansha also had some wins courtesy of Tokyo Revengers to start. And sadly, Attack on Titan did not manage to make the cut for this top 15 pull.

As for sales in the United States, many of these same series are selling very well. Spy x Family even managed to become the top-selling book in America overall at one point this spring. With physical and digital stores prioritizing manga licenses, the medium is becoming bigger by the day.
