It’s evident from the staggering number of times that CHAINSAW MAN appears on this list that it thoroughly dominated the market last year, with a whopping eight volumes making the cut.
ICv2 also released a list of the top 20 manga volumes for 2022, sourced from ComicHub, a point-of-sale system used by comic book stores. You can find that list by clicking HERE.
With any luck, some of Saturday AM’s titles will make it onto the list next year – fingers crossed! Speaking of which don’t forget to check out our line of GRPAHIC NOVELS RIGHT HERE.
