Denji is recruited into Public Safety to fight devils with his awesome abilities that let him summon a chainsaw from his body.

## 4  Oshi No Ko By Aka Akasaka & Mengo Yokoyari

### 5.4 million copies in circulation

Oshi No Ko volume 13 cover

It's not an anomaly for a manga's sales to see a significant increase after the anime adaptation's release, but Oshi No Ko's success story was unprecedented. The manga received more than 5 million new sales, all thanks to the incredible adaptation that has been confirmed for a second season. Written by the author of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, Oshi No Ko is a thriller anime that sees a reincarnated boy called Aqua Hoshino investigate the murder of his mother, the popular idol Ai. To do that, he must go deep into the entertainment industry, and he finds out just how brutal that world can be.

## 3  One Piece By Eiichiro Oda

### 7.1 million copies in circulation

One Piece volume 107 cover

With plenty of spin-offs, games, and movies, Eichiro Oda's masterpiece is about the young and energetic Luffy who goes out to sea to become the Pirate King. He acquires new crew mates, explores islands, and learns all about the world as he aims for the top. This adventure anime has changed the anime and manga industry forever, and will forever be remembered as one of the best.

## 2  Jujutsu Kaisen By Gege Akutami

### 8.5 million copies in circulation

Jujutsu Kaisen volume 23 cover-1

Gege Akutami's manga was the best-selling manga of 2022, and it is doing just as good this year. The series is currently in one of its best arcs so far, featuring a battle of the century between the strongest sorcerer alive, Gojo Satoru, and the King of Curses, Sukuna. The second season of the anime is also currently airing, but the manga sales would still be high even without it. The series follows a teenage boy named Yuji Itadori who harbors the evil curse Sukuna inside him, and is on a quest to fully reincarnate him to kill Sukuna and himself. From amazing side characters that are brutally killed off to a power system so fascinating, the sky is the limit for Jujutsu Kaisen.

## 1  Blue Lock By Muneyuki Kaneshiro & Yusuke Nomura

### 10.5 million copies

Blue Lock volume 23 cover

It's almost unheard of for a non-Shueisha manga to be the overall top-selling manga in a year, but Blue Lock has defied expectations. The last time a sports manga was best-selling was Slam Dunk in 1996. Blue Lock has always been a well-known manga, but there are two main factors for the surge in mainstream popularity. The first is obvious: the anime adaptation was super successful, leading to a movie and a second season announcement immediately after. The timing of the anime, though, made a world of difference. The anime aired during the World Cup, which is the entire premise of the manga. In addition to the fact that the author designed the Japanese national team's jersey, Blue Lock gained a lot of new attention.

Blue Lock is about a project of the same name where a coach named Ego Jinpachi recruits 300 football players, specifically strikers that he sees potential in and trains them to their limits. There are many stages in the project, all leading up to one player surviving and helping the Japanese national team to win a World Cup after years of humiliation on the global stage.
