The previous volume of the same title also reached No. 1 on the chart released Apr. 9 (tracking the week from Mar. 30 to Apr. 5), sweeping brick-and-mortar and e-books, and the new volume now makes it two consecutive No. 1s for the series, this time with a three-metric sweep. The series has surpassed 42 million copies in circulation through Vol. 18, and on Nov. 8, during the tracking week, it was announced that the TV anime’s Season 4 will air and a second theatrical film will open, both in 2027. The latest volumes of two more Jump Comics series, also released Nov. 4, follow: Yukinobu Tatsu’s Dandadan Vol. 26 at No. 2 and Yuto Suzuki’s SAKAMOTO DAYS Vol. 29 at No. 3.
