The latest monthly rankings from The New York Times highlight consistent demand for high-profile manga series. Tatsuya Endo’s Spy×Family volume 16 emerged as the highest-ranking manga title for October, securing the #6 position. Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen volume 1 also maintained its momentum, appearing at #10 after holding the #7 spot during the previous month.
Joining these shonen hits on the chart is the second volume of the Witch Hat Atelier: Grimoire Edition hardcover, which landed at #15. This specific list, which tracks retail performance across the United States, has served as a barometer for the graphic novel market since its inception in October 2019.
While these titles represent the current top performers in the manga category, the list serves as a broader indicator of how specific volumes resonate with North American readers. It remains to be seen if the consistent presence of legacy volumes like the first entry of Jujutsu Kaisen will continue to crowd out newer releases in the coming months.
