NEWS: Manga With Biggest 1st Printings from Kodansha, Shogakukan, Shueisha: 2020-2021

OP over KnY. Thank goodness.

Rurouni Kenshin still doing numbers with no anime or live action movie (delayed due to Covid), but people might have still got it due to the movies. ANN doesn't even post the ranking no more, but its clear Hokkaido is still on fire.

It's a good surprise to see World Trigger there. I really think that if the hiatus hadn't happened and Ashihara-sensei remained in Jump, that manga would be among the three biggest in the magazine right now.

Keep in mind this was likely intentional as vol. 23 suffered from severe stock issues while no OP volume in the past couple years has sold anything more than 2 million copies. They likely just didn't want KnY to oversell One Piece.

They're tied on this list, and this is just for the first printing.

That's the point. OP hold the record for the highest first print which Jump certainly don't want any other series to break. All of KnY volume sold more than 4 mil copies while OP could barely move more than 2 mil. And Jump clearly know that the initial print for KnY wasn't enough so they already prepare the re-print before they run out. All of that showed Jump was trying to keep OP record.

Or maybe other factors like a global pandemic affected the number of printings they could make.
It's not a conspiracy, dude.

I find it utterly unfathomable why Jump would have any such aims.

The 23rd volume alone will have an initial run of 3.95 million copies.

KnY sold 4 mil per volume during the pandemic and Jump has been printing those number even during the pandemic. Also how is the pandemic affect how many printers they can run or how many copies they could printed. The most suspected aspect is the number of print they choose, literally just below OP.
