The folks at ICv2 have pulled together the data to build a top twenty list of what moved during the month of November 2022 when it came to non-kids graphic novels. While the last few months have given up a slot for a non-manga title, January through June 2022 brought us back to the majority of the list being full of manga.
November has arrived and we’ve gone from three last month to two this month. That has the new release of Lore Olympus had the top spot last month but has now slipped to seventh while First Second Books steps in with Shuna’s Journey from Hayao Miyazaki.
This month saw Viz Media dominate things as expected with the new release for Spy x Family going well and the continued interest in Chainsaw Man amid the debut of the anime making clear its potential.
This month doesn’t have anything from other publishers as Viz Media has so many volumes of Chainsaw Man charting with nine of them this month.
