Tokyo Revengers manga sales: Oricon peak and total circulation
Ken Wakui's gang saga rode an anime-driven wave to the top of Oricon's annual charts before the manga ended.

Short answer: Tokyo Revengers ranked 3rd on Oricon's 2021 best-selling manga series chart with estimated sales of 24,981,486 copies, then rose to 2nd place in 2022 with 11,048,067 copies sold. The series, which concluded in 2022, has surpassed 70 million copies in circulation.
How Oricon tracks Tokyo Revengers sales
Oricon's annual manga ranking estimates physical tankobon sales in Japan for each counting year. Tokyo Revengers, serialized in Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine, saw its sales surge after the 2021 anime adaptation aired.
The ranking excludes digital sales and overseas sales. The series' sales profile is typical of a manga whose anime created a large new audience that bought through the back catalog.
How did sales move year by year?
The table below lists the Oricon fiscal-year ranks and estimated series sales we were able to verify from public year-end charts. Oricon counts physical tankobon sales at tracked retailers, so digital sales and some channels are not included.
A rank tells you how the series performed against every other manga that year, while the sales figure is the estimated number of copies sold during that 12-month window. It is not the same as total copies in circulation.
Tokyo Revengers Oricon annual series rank and estimated sales, 2021 to 2023.| Year | Oricon tracking period | Series rank | Estimated sales |
|---|
| 2021 | Nov 23, 2020 to Nov 21, 2021 | 3 | 24,981,486 |
| 2022 | Nov 22, 2021 to Nov 20, 2022 | 2 | 11,048,067 |
| 2023 | Nov 21, 2022 to Nov 19, 2023 | 9 | 3,218,117 |
What does the trend show?
Tokyo Revengers' 2021 sales of nearly 25 million copies were among the highest annual totals for any manga that year, behind only Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer. In 2022, even though the series ranked 2nd, sales fell to about 11 million copies as the manga approached its conclusion.
The 2023 rank of 9th place with 3.22 million copies shows the normal post-completion decline. Most of those sales were back-catalog purchases by readers who discovered the series through the anime or live-action films.
How do annual sales compare to total circulation?
Reports state that Tokyo Revengers has surpassed 70 million copies in circulation across its 31 tankobon volumes. That cumulative figure reflects sales from serialization through the anime and live-action adaptations.
The 70 million circulation number is not the number of copies sold in any single Oricon year. It is a lifetime count that includes print and digital editions sold in Japan and internationally.
Rank versus total sales: A high annual rank means a series sold more copies that year than most rivals. Total circulation counts every volume printed or shipped since the start. A long-running series can have a huge total without topping a single annual chart, while a new hit can top one year with far fewer total volumes.
Where does this fit in the manga market?
Tokyo Revengers joined a short list of non-Jump manga to crack Oricon's top three in the 2020s. Its peak annual sales were comparable to the biggest shonen hits of the same period, even though the series had no supernatural powers or fantasy setting.
For readers researching manga sales, the cleanest comparison is Oricon annual series rank over the same tracking period. Mixing circulation announcements, digital estimates, and regional sales without labeling them invites confusion.
