For outliving its contemporaries as well as some famous titles of the next generation,One Piecehas gained unparalleled prominence in the anime industry. It has been more than two decades and the manga has continued to grow in worldwide popularity. The previous year proved to be a blessing in this respect. Due to the live-action adaptation and the Gear 5 commotion, the popularity of the series reached new heights.
Whenever a manga becomes popular because of an exciting development, the sudden spike in popularity is temporary. The momentum returns to a more steady state soon after the excitement has settled down. This is seemingly what happened withOne Pieceas this month, the manga didn’t even make it to the top ten best-selling manga. This is bound to be a shocker for any fan of the series.
One Pieceisn’t Even Among the Top 10 Best-Selling Manga of September 2024
One Pieceis the best-selling manga of all time with over500 million copiessold. The manga has maintained its position among the best-selling titles for quite some time now. However, for this month the sales figures don’t look that good forEiichiro Oda‘s masterpiece as compared to the other manga.A Facebook postreveals the allegedly best-selling manga for the month of September, and the top 10 manga were as follows:
Seemingly,One Piececouldn’t make it to the Top 10 manga in the month of September. It ranked 19th on the list, with many newer titles surpassing it. At first glance, this seems quite concerning but there are some factors that could explain its low ranking. The last volume of the series was released in July, so the dip in sales could be a result of that.

Whenever a new volume is released, the most sales are made as soon as it comes out and they gradually lower as time passes. When the subsequent volume of the manga is released, the graph will probably observe an upward spike. The next volume ofOne Pieceis scheduled to be released in November 2024. So, the November rankings could bringOne Pieceback to the top. Moreover,One Piecewasn’t the only popular title that ranked low.
Not JustOne Piece, butJujutsu KaisenRanks isn’t a Part of Top 10 either
BesidesOne Piece, Blue LockandJujutsu Kaisendidn’t make it to the top ten either.Blue Lockranked twelfth on the list whereasJujutsu Kaisenranked fourteenth. In 2023, the former was the best-selling manga during the first half of the year. Similarly, there’s no explanation needed forJJK‘s massive popularity. So, the low rankings are probably just a momentary thing.
Not Even Hajime Isayama’s Attack on Titan Could Beat Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece’s Best-Selling Manga Record
On the contrary, it’s great to seeHunter x Hunter, Spy x Family, My Hero Academia,andThe Apothecary Diariesamong the top titles. Yoshihiro Togashi is making his long-awaited comeback, this is a great welcome for the mangaka. As forMy Hero Academia, the manga ended recently, so that explains its position on the list. It’s safe to assume that it won’t be long before the rankings fluctuate and those lingering at the bottom rise their way up.
One Pieceis available to read on the MangaPlus app and website.
