Jujutsu Kaisen Officially Beats Chainsaw Man And Sets New Sales Record

Jujutsu Kaisen is a generational shonen manga by creator Gege Akutami. This manga first started in Weekly Shonen Jump on March 5, 2018, and it successfully ended its run a few years later, on September 30, 2024, dealing a devastating blow to the publishing magazine in the process. Jujutsu Kaisen’s sales were extremely high throughout its run, and even today, the manga continues to break records, not only in Japan but also in the US. Earlier this month, Jujutsu Kaisen broke the massive sales record previously held by Chainsaw Man for the highest first-week sales of a manga volume in the United States of America. This milestone is huge, and looking at the numbers, we can tell that JJK might hold on to it for quite a while.
