The best-selling manga of 2024 it won’t surprise anyone, which is a sign of its elaborate success. Oricon is a Japanese company that provides statistics on various forms of media, including sales of printed manga volumes at various popular retailers. Oricon rankings provide a way to evaluate the best-selling manga in a given period of time. Oricon’s official annual rankings will be available within a week of November 25th, when this article was written, but estimates already show that Jujutsu Kaisen took first place in 2024.
The revelation of Jujutsu Kaisenits claim to being the bestseller is nowhere near as climactic as its ending, the culmination of which lasted the entire year and finally resolved with chapter 271 on September 29th. Jujutsu Kaisen being the bestseller of 2024, however, makes things much more interesting. Jujutsu Kaisen isn’t just the best-selling manga of 2024 – it’s firmly cemented itself as a legendary series, and its victory in 2024 is just a celebratory lap.
Jujutsu Kaisen is the best-selling manga for the third time in four years
Jujutsu Kaisen beats One Piece as best-selling manga of 2024
The news comes through estimates shared by user X @RoukHein. Derived from Oricon weekly rankings from November 20, 2023 to November 17, 2024, the resulting estimates show something very unexpected. Although it is normal for a manga to sell well in the same year it ends, Jujutsu Kaisen holds a marked advantage over the competition – even established highly successful franchises like One piece. The estimated top 10 manga for 2024 are as follows:

Jujutsu Kaisen is well ahead of the silver medalist One piece for an impressive 2 million sales. Jujutsu Kaisen being only in its final arc is not a satisfactory explanation, especially when other extremely popular battle shōnen My Hero Academy also finished this year, but is far behind. Overtaking one of the Big Three is a great event, no matter what, and deserves its fair share of credit.
Most importantly, this is the third time in four years that Jujutsu Kaisen tops the Oricon charts for the best-selling manga, second only to Blue Lock in 2023. This is an incredible achievement that shows how consistent the series’ success has been during its short run. Jujutsu Kaisen started in 2018, and that year the first place belonged to One piece. In 2019 and 2020 it was Demon SlayerIt’s time to shine, but after Gotouge’s series ended, Jujutsu Kaisen it simply dominated until its conclusion.
Jujutsu Kaisen It’s not just legendary, it made the big three obsolete
Shōnen has been leading charts and discussions for years
There has been a lot of discussion about Jujutsu Kaisenits place among the Big Three: naruto, Bleachand One pieceextremely successful franchises with enormous cultural impact. Although Jujutsu KaisenThe company’s influence has remained high in recent years, its ability to overcome One piece—the best-selling manga of all time—for four years should be an indication that it has earned more than a seat at the table. Jujutsu Kaisen did not suddenly reach the top. For years, it has consistently been a top-notch bestseller.
In reality, Jujutsu Kaisen it didn’t just poke at the Big Three enough to warrant a review. Jujutsu Kaisen did something much bigger. It worked to make the idea of the Big Three completely irrelevant. While series like naruto will maintain a timeless charm, Jujutsu Kaisen is part of a wave of shonen manga that build on ideas from franchises like The Big Three to better serve today’s viewers. His gritty narrative places him in the so-called “Dark Trio” alongside chainsaw man and Hell’s Paradisewhile being placed next to Demon Slayer and My Hero Academy in “The New Big Three” when evaluating sales and cultural relevance.
As manga becomes increasingly popular across the world, it is certain that old manga legends will pave the way for new legends to reach milestones like Jujutsu Kaisen he has.
