The sales trend of Chainsaw Man is so brutal it’s making me nauseous.

3：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:31:15.78 ID： ID:vUom7DdH0

What on earth happened?

4：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:31:31.35 ID： ID:vUom7DdH0

Lower than Oshi no Ko? Lower than Kaiju No. 8?

Is this for real?

5：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:31:57.33 ID： ID:pXluI6Xw0

Demon Slayer is amazing.

6：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:32:23.68 ID： ID:rBHZHcaV0

What about DB?

14：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:35:17.57 ID： ID:tJ2KvgQn0

Oricon probably only started releasing data around 2010.
As a reference, the initial print run of the final volume is this, so actual sales can’t be higher than this.

21：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:38:59.87 ID： ID:rBHZHcaV0

>>14
It’s surprising there were no reprints.
Was the Buu Saga not popular?

22：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:39:20.11 ID： ID:b0SKwCvC0

>>14
Demon Slayer fans are crazy lol
They’re more than double the sales of classic giants like Gon and Slam Dunk during their prime.

26：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:43:06.47 ID： ID:snchZRvM0

>>14
If you can’t wrap it up in 10 or 20 volumes, it’s trash from the planning stage.
Don’t drag it out until the original readers become senile and can’t appreciate it anymore.

27：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:43:26.31 ID： ID:tPUhZN8B0

>>14
Speaking of which, My Hero Academia is the only one of the three major Jump series that never reached a 1 million first-print run, right?

If they could get reprints within the year, Shueisha should at least try to ship the final volume with a 1 million first-print run.

37：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:56:02.05 ID： ID:G2PUWTACM

>>14
I thought Hikaru no Go would have sold more, is that all?
Excluding the outlier that is Demon Slayer, it seems that 1.2 to 1.6 million is the range for manga that become social phenomena, involving even people who don’t usually read manga.

53：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 05:10:40.13 ID： ID:wPgMAioi0

>>14
Dragon Ball and Yu Yu Hakusho are in the same league? w
Dragon Ball is deified, but it’s surprisingly not that amazing. w

7：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:32:30.76 ID： ID:+miDMcPo0

Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man are 40 times different? Seriously?

8：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:32:47.96 ID： ID:gzPcXVj20

Ah, it’s over. That’s my only thought.

9：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:32:52.81 ID： ID:OuKH8FkB0

Demon Slayer is too amazing.

10：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:33:49.91 ID： ID:io8TZRVE0

Even Oshi no Ko, which was a huge controversy, sold over 200,000 copies. Is this really true?

11：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:34:13.87 ID： ID:YX+X1Z2c0

Lower than Kaiju No. 8?

12：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:34:34.72 ID： ID:ZflNuh2D0

Nobody was reading Chainsaw Man by the time it ended anyway.

13：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:34:45.95 ID： ID:lk39ylJu0

Chainsaw Man is available for free on Jump Plus.

15：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:36:33.73 ID： ID:LrdCEbAn0

>>13
Kaiju No. 8 and Oshi no Ko agree.

16：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:36:54.73 ID： ID:25y+Ejx60

That’s hilarious.

17：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:37:12.39 ID： ID:ezJVh+r80

80,000 is too low! lol

18：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:37:48.81 ID： ID:jp7kdycL0

The fans of “Look Back” and similar works were so obnoxious back then.

19：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:37:49.17 ID： ID:qUvl7Q/70

Wasn’t Kaiju No. 8 having all its chapters free near the end?
What about Chainsaw Man?

20：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:38:32.74 ID： ID:/a8WC3Qv0

It was really not funny, you know.

23：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:40:41.99 ID： ID:b0SKwCvC0

It’s sad that Gon and Slam Dunk, from the paper era’s peak, are being completely crushed by Demon Slayer in the digital age.
Demon Slayer is just too crazy.

24：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:40:57.83 ID： ID:RxEGRxZQ0

If it sells 100,000 copies, it’s considered a success for manga outside of Jump and similar publications.

25：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:42:05.49 ID： ID:jT+w0X5z0

Tokyo Revengers is fighting hard.

28：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:43:44.67 ID： ID:/kNoWoDL0

The type of people who read Chainsaw Man probably think, “Digital books are fine.”

29：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:45:55.25 ID： ID:ZflNuh2D0

This momentum has also spread to the publishing industry, and on July 17, Shueisha announced that “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” had reached a total of 220 million copies worldwide across its 23 volumes. This figure, which rivals long-running popular works like “Dragon Ball” (260 million copies / 42 volumes) and “Detective Conan” (270 million copies / 107 volumes), was achieved by “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” in a short serialization period of only 4 years and 23 volumes.

The average sales per volume is 9.57 million copies. This is the second highest figure in manga history, surpassing “Black Jack” (Osamu Tezuka), “Dragon Ball” (Akira Toriyama), and “SLAM DUNK” (Takehiko Inoue). And there is still a number 1 record above that. Go Nagai’s “Devilman,” serialized in “Weekly Shonen Magazine” from 1972 to 1973, holds that record. With 5 volumes, it had a cumulative circulation of 50 million copies, meaning 10 million copies per volume. The fact that a work from over 50 years ago still holds the top spot is a testament to its enduring influence.

30：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:46:48.44 ID： ID:YX+X1Z2c0

Demon Slayer is bought by parents and children.

31：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:47:58.98 ID： ID:yHTqYbPU0

Fujimoto Tatsuki’s fans are just loud.
I often saw their cheesy poems on X.

32：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:48:41.82 ID： ID:usenzS7T0

I really don’t understand why Demon Slayer sold so well.

33：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:49:09.55 ID： ID:KSRJOyBk0

Tatsuki’s fans who were hyping it up should buy the volumes.

34：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:49:34.91 ID： ID:ys3I6sTk0

I liked Chainsaw Man back when Makima was in control.

35：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:51:00.24 ID： ID:jx4pZm+80

If you look at the popularity poll, the top characters are Makima, Power, Aki, and Reze.
Killing them all and failing to introduce compelling characters in Part 2 was a fatal mistake.

36：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:53:59.19 ID： ID:+SRSiJa00

Overall summary of Chainsaw Man Part 2: The art is degraded and gross, the romance is like something a virgin would write, the pacing is too slow, there’s no substance, no compelling characters, and it’s a dream sequence ending.

It makes Tokyo Ghoul:re seem like a masterpiece compared to how bad Part 2 of Chainsaw Man is.

38：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:57:35.82 ID： ID:cFFchWLd0

It’s tragic how Chainsaw Man has fallen compared to its rivals at the time, but compared to current Jump manga, it’s doing alright.
Manga like Sakamoto Days and Kagurabachi are way worse.

39：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:57:50.15 ID： ID:44HBCJgm0

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is amazing.
Is it necessary to end it within a certain number of volumes?

40：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:57:51.02 ID： ID:JPMuqAJM0

Demon Slayer is still selling reasonably well with new volumes.

41：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 04:59:19.97 ID： ID:C02HV6Zf0

Once the third movie of Demon Slayer concludes, anime-only fans might buy the manga volumes to relive the experience.
During the Mugen Train arc, Demon Slayer was really dominating POS sales.

42：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 05:03:47.30 ID： ID:HCWbur6p0

The good thing about Demon Slayer was that it gained attention with the double buzz of the pandemic and the Mugen Train movie,

and then it concluded quickly when everyone was starting to collect the manga.

The momentum from the boom to the conclusion was incredible.

Anime Season 1 Broadcast: April 6, 2019
Mugen Train Release: October 16, 2020
Final Volume Release: December 4, 2020

Jump usually stretches a boom for at least 3-5 years. It’s amazing they let it conclude so quickly.

56：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 05:16:18.46 ID： ID:rnHNpy4/0

>>49
When the anime became popular and the hype started, they had already written “Final Arc: Infinite Castle Arc” in Jump.

62：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 05:19:21.42 ID： ID:n1PTC1Hn0

>>56
Oda-kun in 2022: “One Piece, finally entering its final arc…!!” 😤

It’s been 4 years already, lol.

43：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 05:04:46.32 ID： ID:Q/oXhTGMd

About one in five chapters involved Denji being lured by lewd things, and it was tiresome.

44：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 05:05:04.10 ID： ID:JPMuqAJM0

It’s all the same.

>>44
It’s better that it ended with such a thrown-together ending. The sales decline in the volumes was severe, so if they had done it properly, the final volume sales would have dropped even more.

45：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 05:05:13.75 ID： ID:rnHNpy4/0

With Demon Slayer, no matter how much you analyze it, you’ll only reach the conclusion that “I have no idea why this happened.”
It’s a bug.

Chainsaw Man, a trash manga where the author got bored and passed it off.

48：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 05:07:16.69 ID： ID:MrsUiV390

Demon Slayer really sold well.

52：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 05:10:02.56 ID： ID:WfNZS+Aa0

It sold too much…

54：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 05:13:04.20 ID： ID:Ed7WDChf0

>>1
3 million views for the final chapter on Jump+ regularly.

Effectively 2nd place.

55：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 05:14:51.88 ID： ID:apEJCCDD0

A valuable sample of a manga where the author’s motivation visibly disappears is Part 2.

57：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 05:16:42.33 ID： ID:NachoHZAa

In the end, what was Part 2 trying to do?
It ended with that question still lingering.

58：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 05:17:16.15 ID： ID:aTDt8s110

Chainsaw Man started Part 2 with the strange confidence that they could still make it exciting even after killing all the main characters, but they couldn’t find a solution.

59：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 05:17:17.90 ID： ID:n1PTC1Hn0

Bleach… 😭😭😭😢

Final volume sales:
NARUTO – 870k
BLEACH – 240k

60：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 05:18:50.91 ID： ID:rYyWrDnra

The final chapter, it’s the kind of situation where Denji would normally say “This isn’t the world I belong in” and destroy everything.
And it just ended like that, lol.

61：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 05:19:11.22 ID： ID:6KuNW52o0

It’s good that Demon Slayer has a manageable number of volumes to collect later.
I’d never think about collecting One Piece or similar series.

63：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 05:21:34.61 ID： ID:O+9vLPj40

It’s just that the anime director’s actions made the author lose motivation…

65：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 05:22:48.65 ID： ID:i+f8cF7pM

Chainsaw Man Part 2 was nonsensical from beginning to end, I couldn’t figure out what kind of manga it was.
I had low expectations for the final chapter since Part 2 was consistently boring, but at least let the protagonist choose his ending.

Something like Pochita saying, “Denji hasn’t seemed happy since he became a Devil Hunter. So I’ll reset the world~” is too passive.

At least let the protagonist, Denji, make a choice and end it.

64：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/06/15(月) 05:22:08.40 ID： ID:WxrLuyFg0

Oh, it was already over.
