The transition to Circana Books

The sixth volume of Chugong and DUBU’s Solo Leveling Korean webcomic has also managed to make a place for itself on the list. The manga has grabbed the fourth spot on the list.

NPD revamped to Circana Books in March after NPD Group and Information Resources Inc (IRI) merged in 2022. The company is known for collecting weekly point-of-sale data on print books from over 16,000 locations, including e-trailers, mass merchandisers, independent bookstores, chains, and much more.

Circana BookScan covers around 85% of the US trade print book market. The ranks on this chart are based on piece sales. Some publishers classify titles that are mostly text or art books, as graphic novels; ICv2 takes care of removing those titles from the lists.

Or Harta are Hinamatsuri, Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto, Delicious in Dungeon, A Bride’s Story, and Migi & Dali.
