The folks at ICv2 have pulled together the data to build a top twenty list of what moved during the month of February 2021 when it came to non-kids graphic novels. The month tends to be filled pretty heavily with manga and that is the case here once again. Out of the twenty spots, nineteen of them are manga titles – though they couldn’t claim the top spot itself.
Of those slots, it’s no surprise that My Hero Academia dominates nor that the first volume takes the top spot. The property has four volumes overall on the chart and is continuing to do well overall but it’s getting a lot more competition these days instead of when it would chart seven or more volumes. Jujutsu Kaisen is still showing some real promise and the continued strength of The Promised Neverland alongside things like Death Note and Uzumaki.
Once past the manga, the only thing that’s in there is In Love & Pajamas.
