I guess it took Dragon Ball to finally dethrone My Hero Academia's top spot that it's been occupying forever now. But it makes sense since the success of the Broly movie probably helped to generate more interest in the manga.

Even with the movie increasing interest in the manga I gotta say Im impressed DBS managed to beat out MHA. Question now is how long that lead will last.

^ I guess it would depend on how engaged fans are with the new arc but I can see it lasting as fans are probably craving new content while waiting for more of the anime.

My hero didn't have a new manga in January though.

So....DBS took the top spot due to a technicality(Best term I can think of to describe it)?
