2020 Fall Vol 1 Rankings
Please note: Volume 1 sales are not the best, or even a particularly good, way to evaluate a series’ performance. Sometimes one of two formats doesn’t rank in volume 1, but ranks in a later volume. Often times volume 1 sales are inflated with bonuses like event tickets or bundled manga, etc. Always, always use the average sales when evaluating anime, not volume 1 sales. I only provide these because it takes many months before we have a final average and people like to be able to ballpark a season early on. Just be intelligent about it!

Notes
Partial Ranking means a release came out on more than one video format, but only one of the two ranked.

I saw at Yaraon that Vol 1 of BD Jujutsu sold 22,701 copies in the first week. I hope it can help you.
And thank you very much for the update
Kinda sad to see Nana selling so badly such a great series was rly hoping it would sell better and get us a 2nd season….hope atleast they made enough from streamimg rights so that we got a chance for it…
If only the anime had increased manga sales … which unfortunately did not happen.
Is there any chance that Jujutsu vol 1 will reach 30k?
Selling ~35% of total sales after the first week, which is about what it would take, is possible, yes. ~20-25% is more typical for most releases (the ones that actually rank more than once anyway), but for a big seller like Jujutsu a longer tail is possible. Especially if it was undershipped in the first week or something.
Updated this for the first time in a few weeks, covering the weeks of 1/25, 2/01, 2/08.
Jujutsu is an overwhelming success and Assault Lily Bouquet sold more than I expected.
I’m aware that these sales don’t matter much anymore, still 1,1k for Maoujou de Oyasumi seems pretty underwhelming.
Where is Dai no DaibÅken?
It’s a weekend morning kids’ show so I decided to put it in the long-running list instead (you just wont see it yet since I haven’t updated the site since it came out). I know it’s technically not long-running, but it’s more similar to the shows over there (and this way I don’t need to move things around if it gets a bunch of extra seasons/episodes).
I saw in yaraon that Vol 1 of Mahouka season 2 managed to sell 7,674 copies so far, is that correct?
They just pulled that from 5ch. It only ranked in its first week, but most likely those numbers come from the NewType monthly data to fill in weeks 2 and 3. I’ll update it.
