If the anime sold subtle but not in exceptional numbers before the anime, the work of Studio MAPPA helped blow jujutsu kaisen’s popularity in Japan. Jujutsu Kaisen did not reach the extremely high numbers of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, but managed to scrape together a few million copies per volume.
It has so outperformed other industry giants like My Hero Academia, one of the direct competitors in the Weekly Shonen Jump. But the numbers keep growing from month to month, as Shueisha-Verlag always remembers. In light of this new success, which has been one of the best-selling titles for a year, Shueisha has updated the data from a few months ago.
Jujutsu Kaisen in December 2021 will actually have a circulation of 60 million copies. A large number, with finished copies and others that are already scheduled for reprint due to the appearance of the feature film Jujutsu Kaisen 0, which will inevitably help to draw attention to the title again. When the manga sector laughs, the anime is no less given the staggering numbers that Jujutsu Kaisen has hit in China. And of course the story of this project doesn’t end there when you consider that there are still several seasons to be produced in the years to come.
