New manga, a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles book, and Bill Watterson and John Kascht’s The Mysteries all made the Top 20 Adult graphic novels in the book channel, based on Circana (formerly NPD) BookScan data for November (10/29/23 – 11/25/23) provided to ICv2.
Two new volumes of top-selling manga series, Vol. 104 of One Piece and Vol. 21 of Jujutsu Kaisen, take the first two slots in the November chart, with two October releases just behind them. In fifth place is another November release, Vol. 14 of Dark Horse Comics’ deluxe edition of Berserk, with the first volume in 12th place.
The Mysteries, which debuted in the number 2 slot (see “October 2023 Circana BookScan“) stayed on the chart for a second month, moving down to number 7.
The blockbuster Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin, one of the few Superhero titles to frequently show up on the Adult chart, was joined in November by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin—Lost Years, a hardcover collection of stories set in the world of the original.
Finally, another new manga release worth noting is down at number 19: Vol. 4 of [Oshi no Ko], which seems to be gathering a following; the first volume made the Top 20 in July (see “July 2023 Circana BookScan“), and the anime began streaming in English in May.
