Oshi no Ko manga sets yet another milestone

Oshi no Ko continues its incredible streak as 9 million copies of the manga have been sold so far. At the time of writing, the series has compiled the manga chapters into a total of 11 volumes. All the chapters are being published in the Shonen Jump+ application as well as Young Jump. The most impressive aspect of this staggering figure is that Oshi no Ko is not seeing a dip in manga sales despite the release of the anime series.

More often than not, manga sales tend to plateau when the anime adaptation is launched. The sales figure of the manga has already increased by 1 million copies from Spring 2023.

These stats prove how successful Asakasa’s work is at the moment. Oshi no Ko is one of the hottest anime and manga titles and the fanbase is growing steadily as the year progresses. This is a great time to revisit the status of the manga and take a look at the release date of the upcoming manga chapter as well.
