The TV anime that aired in 2018 was also well-received, and the special edition with anime that was released at the same time also sold well.
The series has been highly praised for its careful portrayal of “otaku romance,” a subject that is easy to sympathize with in this day and age, but quite difficult to develop, and it seems to have a pretty strong following among fans.
No. 13 [500,000 copies] The Seven Deadly Sins (Volume 35)
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
The popular fantasy manga that has reigned as the magazine’s signature work since the end of “FAIRY TAIL” has been ranked again in 2019.

In 2019, the series took a shocking turn from what was supposed to be a grand finale and became a hot topic of conversation.
2020 is finally expected to accelerate towards the last.
No. 12 [500,000 copies] SPY x FAMILY (Volume 1)
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
The manga was one of the most successful manga series launched in 2019.
When the new series began on Jump+, it was immediately praised by many readers and became an unusually early hit, with no books in stores for a long time when the first volume was released.
The total number of copies sold reached 2 million by volume 3.
Despite being a spy story, there are almost no dark episodes, and one of the themes of the story is the building of family love, which is one of the reasons for the popularity of the series.
We can expect further sales growth in the future.

Finally, it surpassed its signature manga, Seven Deadly Sins, to become the magazine’s No. 1 selling work.
Volume 8 had the highest annual ranking, but the momentum of sales has not waned since then, and it ranked 5th in the ranking by work.
Even the character books of each heroine have been sold.
