Jujutsu Kaisen Confirmed Its Historical Status, Manga Still Dominates Other Popular Series

As a seasoned gamer and manga enthusiast with a knack for seeking out the hidden gems, I must say that Jujutsu Kaisen has truly solidified its place among the greats. Having followed this series since its humble beginnings in 2018, it’s been an absolute pleasure to witness its meteoric rise to global fame. The manga’s consistent dominance of the Oricon sales charts is a testament to Gege Akutami’s masterful storytelling and the series’ captivating world-building.


The popular series Jujutsu Kaisen has wrapped up its story. A few weeks ago, the final chapter of the manga was published, and the last two volumes of Gege Akutami’s work will debut in Japan this December. Rest assured, more seasons of the anime are on their way as there is still much content to explore. Nevertheless, for the manga, its story has already been told.

As a devoted fan, I must say, even in its farewell, Jujutsu Kaisen left an indelible mark of style, solidifying its continued reign as one of the top-selling mangas. This year, it’s primed to reclaim the number one position once more.

Based on the data gathered from Oricon between November 20, 2023 and November 17, 2024, user RoukHein has made an educated guess as to what this year’s top chart might be. You can find these sales estimates provided below.

  • 1. Jujutsu Kaisen – 7,610,995
  • 2. One Piece – 5,280,000
  • 3. Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End – 4,955,000
  • 4. The Apothecary Diaries – 4,695,000
  • 5. Blue Lock – 3,881,269
  • 6. Kaiju No. 8 – 3,415,000
  • 7. Kingdom – 3,235,000
  • 8. Haikyu!! – 3,075,000
  • 9. My Hero Academia – 2,910,000
  • 10. Spy x Family – 2,710,000

In a recent analysis by RoukHein, JJK has been ranked as one of the leading mangas yet again, outpacing the second place contender substantially. Since 2021, Gege Akutami’s work has consistently dominated the Oricon sales charts, with brief interruptions such as Blue Lock taking over in 2023. It is anticipated that JJK will regain its top position in 2024, outperforming the competition once more.

As a devoted fan, I’ve witnessed firsthand how Jujutsu Kaisen has solidified its standing as an unquestionable hit since its debut in 2018. The series sparked an immediate interest not just among Japanese fans but also globally, igniting countless discussions and debates worldwide. Even after the somewhat contentious ending, it managed to conclude with a flourish that left us all in awe.
