Kimetsu no Yaiba has been killing it this year, it rly was huge hit both Japan and internationally! Those series sales, even One Piece couldn't come close. Also nice to see Kingdom doing so good even if it's not rly talked in the west. Light novels aren't rly surprises to me, as they are all popular series that had rather recent anime adaptions.

Wow Kimetsu no Yaiba domination

 

[Darkseid]

I’ve been recommended this one.
Any thoughts on it?

It's amazing, probably my fav manga going on rn
It's set in Ancient China during the Warring States period. Amazing action, battle strategy where generals decide how to win wars with their tactics, lots of political intrigue as well. You won't regret

 

[Darkseid]

Also wow Kimetsu no Yaiba really took off huh

I had no idea it would outsell the others by that much lmao. I'm pretty much just used to seeing One Piece on top, Boku no Hero Academia holding on at 5th place, not bad.

What Ozy said, he was actually the one who recommended it to me xd

It's pretty captivating, at first the amount of volumes it already has out is intimidating but i got quite into it so just binged it xd The story is based on China's history when there was still lot of different areas with their own kings battling against each other for domination. But i'd definitely recommend the manga over the anime as war CGI isn't often the best.

I am shocked it actually beat one piece.
but then... one piece wano arc is coming soon so maybe in the second half....

One piece has always been in atleast top 3 for the past 20 years thou so I’m not worried

Kimetsu no Yaiba has been rly dominating, but One Piece got the long game :d
