Best-Selling Manga of the Week of June 1-7, 2026 in Japan Announced

The weekly sales charts that track the pulse of Japan's manga world are here again. The ranking for the week of June 1-7, 2026, published by Comic Natalie and based on Oricon data, reveals which series readers are turning to. The series at the top of the list reflect both the excitement of new volume releases and the loyal readership of long-running series.
Compared to last week, the biggest notable change this week was the climb of romantic comedy titles alongside popular action series to the top of the charts. Giants like Jujutsu Kaisen and One Piece placed in the top five as usual with their new volumes, while newer series like Kaiju No. 8 and Spy × Family also showed strong sales. The surprise of the week was Gachiakuta, whose anime adaptation was announced last month – the series managed to enter the top ten with its seventh volume.
Sales data not only indicate popularity but also provide important insights into the overall health of the industry. Weekly lists play a critical role in helping publishers determine printing strategies and plan marketing budgets for new series. For example, sales of series like Dandadan and Chainsaw Man, which found a place at the bottom of this week's list, have picked up ahead of the upcoming anime seasons. This trend helps studios and publishers shape their marketing calendars.
Another important aspect of the ranking is the performance of independent and boutique publishers. This week, apart from Kodansha and Shueisha, Square Enix and KADOKAWA also had multiple titles on the list. In particular, the inclusion of printed volumes of some series that are originally published on the Shonen Jump+ digital platform shows that the shift from digital to print continues at a steady pace.
In the coming weeks, the list is expected to become even more active with new volume releases around late June and early July. Especially with the start of the Summer Anime Season, sales of adaptation series may see a surge. Manga fans continue to follow official sources, especially Comic Natalie and Oricon, to keep up with the weekly lists.
