The Dark Horse Comics' Berserk collections were once again the top manga franchise across all channels combined for Fall 2022 (September-December), following up its strong performance for Summer (see "Top Manga Franchises – Summer 2022"), as measured in dollars, according to ICv2’s analysis of sales reported by NPD BookScan for the book channel, and of sales reported by ComicHub in the comic store channel.  Demon Slayer also held its #2 position, while Chainsaw Man moved up two slots behind the U.S. streaming release of the anime in October.

Two older series, Attack on Titan and Dragon Ball Z, appeared on the chart for the holidays.
