by

The popularity of Demon Slayer has been surging over the past month, largely due to the release of the Infinity Castle film. This recent endeavor has caused a significant stir within the anime community, attracting numerous new fans. The Infinity Castle movie is now being screened in various regions, and eager viewers are queuing up for hours to catch the show.

Demon Slayer Overtakes One Piece In Oricon Rankings

Demon Slayer Has Made A Shocking Comeback

  • Demon Slayer manga has outsold One Piece
  • The manga got a big boost from the movie

Upon the debut of the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie, a remarkable surge was observed in the sales of the original manga. Interestingly, this boost propelled the manga to the second spot on Oricon’s Weekly Rankings, selling an impressive 123,366 copies. Despite One Punch Man holding the top position with 123,649 copies sold, the fact that Demon Slayer broke into the top three is quite astonishing, given that the manga concluded in 2020. What’s more intriguing is that even after Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece, a long-standing titan in the manga world, Demon Slayer managed to outsell it.

The popularity of Demon Slayer, as evidenced by its high ranking, underscores the depth of fans’ affection and admiration for the series. Additionally, this demonstrates that Demon Slayer continues to captivate new audiences. However, even though the manga has achieved such great heights, it won’t maintain this position for long. It’s expected that Demon Slayer will slip down a few spots in the coming weeks, but it might still hold a spot within the top 10.

As an onlooker, I’m delighted to note that the phenomenal Demon Slayer manga has surpassed the 220 million copies sold milestone, placing it among a select group of series with such impressive sales figures. This achievement positions Demon Slayer above other renowned titles like Attack on Titan, My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, and Kingdom in terms of sales volume. With just a few titles ahead in the rankings, enthusiasts of this captivating series are eagerly anticipating the day when Demon Slayer overtakes at least a couple more.
