It's time to look at the best-sellers of 2024! Manga is a worldwide industry worth over $15 million in the United States alone, and teens are becoming the top audience!
Of course we all have our personal favorites, but let's look at the numbers.
Here's a rundown:
First Place: Jujutsu Kaisen by Gege Akutami - 7.5 million copies
In a world where cursed spirits feed on unsuspecting humans, fragments of the legendary and feared demon Ryomen Sukuna have been lost and scattered about. Should any demon consume Sukuna’s body parts, the power they gain could destroy the world as we know it. Fortunately, there exists a mysterious school of jujutsu sorcerers who exist to protect the precarious existence of the living from the supernatural!
Second Place: One Piece by Eiichiro Oda - 5.2 million copies
As a child, Monkey D. Luffy dreamed of becoming King of the Pirates. But his life changed when he accidentally gained the power to stretch like rubber...at the cost of never being able to swim again! Years later, Luffy sets off in search of the One Piece, said to be the greatest treasure in the world...
Third Place: Frieren: Beyond Journey's End by Kanehito Yamada - Almost 5 million copies
Frieren has broken the curse of Diagoldze and released herself and Denken. Now they face Macht and Solitär in a final battle of retribution. With his memories of his wife driving him, Denken challenges Macht, his former master. Frieren takes on Solitär, who is confident of victory. But demons have always underestimated Frieren, one of the greatest mages to ever live, and Macht and Solitär would do well to not count Frieren out just yet!
