Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Manga Breaks Dragon Ball Record
The Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba manga has become one of the biggest franchises in the world, and continues to build on its reputation. From manga to fantastic anime it has become a worldwide hit. And now, a new report has revealed which manga record the series has just broken.
The record in question is unique in that Dragon Ball topped the list before Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba appeared. The award relates to the number of manga copies sold per volume. When the Shonen Jump series total ran, Demon Slayer came out on top recently, and it did for both Japanese and worldwide readers.
According to Shonen Saito, Demon Slayer took first place with 6.52 copies sold per volume. While Dragon Ball is in second place with 6.19 globally and 4.29 in Japan. This gap continues with the manga Slam Dunk in third place, selling 5.48 worldwide and only 3.91 in Japan. In fifth place is One Piece with 4.90 worldwide and 4.08 in Japan.
When you look at this list, many famous manga series also appear on the list. Including Naruto, Bleach even Saint Seiya listed here. The top 50 even includes Chainsawman, Black Clover, and more. However, there was only one series in the first place, and that was Demon Slayer.
However, this manga still has a long way to go before it can reach the highest manga record. The highest selling manga to date is none other than One Piece with over 480 million copies sold. This overall number competes with Batman's sales. Currently, overall Demon Slayer is at number ten on the list, having sold at least 150 million copies to date.
