While we saw the overall month explored before with the general mix of graphic novels for the month of February 2021, ICv2 has now broken out the manga to its own category to explore and see how things went down. Unsurprisingly, it’s once again a month dominated by Viz Media with only two slots not theirs. Kodansha Comics ranks sixth with the first volume of Attack on Titan while the first box set of Attack on Titan has a resurgence into the list at nineteenth slot thanks to the return of the anime
With Viz Media, it is again the big block of mainline titles taking up space here with lots of new and first volumes for popular series. But so many of these backlist titles are even edging out new volumes of pretty popular series as the latest Beastars didn’t chart in the top twenty nor did My Hero Academia: Vigilantes. The Chainsaw Man property is making some ground though with the third volume grabbing the fifth-place slot.
