Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 30 Ranks 3rd on the New York Times Best Sellers List
Jujutsu Kaisen fans have great news: Volume 30 of Gege Akutami's legendary series has climbed to the 3rd spot on the New York Times July 2026 Graphic Novel and Manga best sellers list. This achievement proves once again how strong reader interest remains, even though the series concluded in 2024.
Chainsaw Man and other popular manga titles also found their place on the list. Tatsuki Fujimoto's wild and emotional story continues to remain high on the NYT list, with particular attention drawn to the interest of new readers in the series. Additionally, series such as One Piece, My Hero Academia, and Demon Slayer are also featured on the list, highlighting the growth of the manga industry in the West.
Jujutsu Kaisen's 30th volume was published in Japan in April 2026, and its English translation met readers shortly after. The series reached 271 chapters with its final installment, becoming one of the best-selling manga of all time. Even during the periods when Gege Akutami took breaks due to health issues, the fan base remained loyal, and this volume served as a harbinger for the side stories and spin-offs that followed the series.
Such chart successes are an indicator of how much the manga industry has strengthened in the mainstream book market. The regular appearance of manga titles on the New York Times list reveals that the perception of comics in the West is changing and that series like Jujutsu Kaisen are now seen as serious literary works not just for anime viewers, but for the general reading public as well. We look forward to more news about Jujutsu Kaisen spin-offs and Akutami's new project in the coming months.
