That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Manga Tops Oricon Rankings for June 2026
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime manga has once again proven its commercial success by topping the Oricon monthly comic rankings for June 2026. According to Anime News Network, the series' latest volume (volume 44) took the number one spot on the chart released on July 1, 2026. This achievement is seen as a reflection of the series' enduring popularity since its anime adaptation in 2018.
The second spot on the list was taken by the final volume (volume 19) of Chainsaw Man, while Dandadan (volume 17) took third place. Despite the conclusion of Tatsuki Fujimoto's Chainsaw Man, the strength of its fanbase remains impressive. Dandadan, meanwhile, continues to draw attention with Yukinobu Tatsu's growing fanbase. Both series are published on Shueisha's Jump+ platform.
Oricon rankings are one of the most reliable sources based on bookstore and online sales data in Japan. According to the June 2026 data, all series in the top three are also receiving significant attention in the international market. In particular, the global sales of the That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Japanese: Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken) light novel and manga series have exceeded 40 million copies.
This ranking shows that the Slime series has not yet slowed down, while also highlighting the commercial strength of the Chainsaw Man finale. The rise of Dandadan proves that manga fans' interest in new-generation works remains vibrant. It remains to be seen how the new volumes of series such as One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Spy x Family will affect the rankings in the coming months.
