The latest volume of My Hero Academia took the #1 slot, one of seven VIZ Media volumes and eight manga titles overall in the Top 20.
The latest hardcover volume of Dynamite Entertainment’s Brandon Sanderson's White Sand (see "Preview: Brandon Sanderson’s ‘White Sand’") showed the property’s bookstore roots with a strong showing, debuting at #5.
Two interesting titles from months past worked their way into the Top 20 for the first time: The Dialogues: Conversations About the Nature of the Universe, from MIT Press, and The End of the F**king World, from Fantagraphics.

NPD Bookscan covers approximately 85% of the U.S. trade print book market. The ranks on this chart are based on piece sales.
