Trending
The manga, serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump, surpassed an unprecedented circulation of 12 million copies back in July. While it experienced a slight shift downwards as other manga titles reached the top, Oshi no Ko is now making a strong comeback.
The series has once again exhibited a remarkable increase in sales, according to data from Oricon, a prominent Japanese statistics and information-generating company. It secured the top position on Oricon's Top 10 Weekly Chart between August 7, 2023, and August 13, 2023, with an astounding total of 172,698 copies sold during that period.
In accomplishing this, the manga series has effectively surpassed major titles, including Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece, and Chainsaw Man. While these series have consistently maintained their dominance atop manga charts, the rise of Oshi no Ko has unquestionably showcased the series' power once more.
While Oshi no Ko secured the top spot, Jujutsu Kaisen also performed remarkably, taking second place with 169,072 copies sold. It was followed by Drifters, Kaiju No. 8, and then Chainsaw Man. The Blue Lock manga was seen in the 8th position, followed by One Piece in the 9th, while Dragon Ball Super claimed the 10th position.
