The latest Japanese comics annual sales ranking: "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" surpasses "One Piece" and approaches 30 million

"One Piece", which once occupied the top of the Japanese anime market for many years, has been dethroned by "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba". Recently, the latest annual Japanese anime sales ranking was released. With nearly 9 months left until the end of this year, "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" has already approached 30 million.

"Demon Slayer" is a fantasy manga created by Koyoharu Gotouge. It tells the story of the Japanese Taisho period, when it is said that after the sun sets, demons come out to eat people. There are also demon hunters who kill demons and protect people. The ordinary and happy daily life of Tanjiro, a charcoal seller, changed drastically on the day his family was attacked by demons. His mother and four younger siblings were brutally killed, and his sister Nezuko, who survived with him, also turned into a ferocious demon. In order to cut off the chain of sadness, the boy never stopped fighting with demons.

The annual sales record of Shueisha's boys' comics is 37 million copies of One Piece. Now it seems that Demon Slayer will surely break the historical record.
