Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 30 Tops New York Times June Graphic Novel and Manga Bestseller List
The 30th volume of Jujutsu Kaisen has topped the New York Times June 2026 Graphic Novel and Manga Bestseller list. Gege Akutami's immensely popular series continues to sustain the interest of both manga enthusiasts and general readers with this achievement. The list is considered a prestigious index that ranks the best-selling graphic novels and manga throughout the month.
The 30th volume of Jujutsu Kaisen marks a significant milestone in the manga series' journey that began in 2018. Although Akutami's work concluded in 2024, it continues to enjoy commercial success thanks to new volumes and adaptations. The 29th volume, released last year, also ranked high on similar lists. The 30th volume reaching the #1 spot once again proves the series' strength, especially in the Western market.
Besides Jujutsu Kaisen, the list features other notable manga such as Witch Hat Atelier. Kamome Shirahama's Witch Hat Atelier, known for its enchanting artwork, has been receiving full marks from critics and making a name for itself in sales figures in recent years. Making it onto the New York Times list demonstrates how much the manga genre has grown in the mainstream and that it is no longer a niche in North America. This list, which once featured only classics, now regularly includes weekly manga volumes.
This success comes at a time when manga consumption is increasing globally due to the influence of anime adaptations and social media phenomena. A new film project for Jujutsu Kaisen has been long discussed following its second season. Fans eagerly await the remaining volumes of the series after the exciting developments in volume 30. Meanwhile, the presence of rising stars like Witch Hat Atelier on the list highlights the diversity and future potential of manga.
