The Adventure Zone: The Eleventh Hour placed #2 in February adult graphic novel sales, behind the latest My Hero Academia, Volume 33. That's the same position The Adventure Zone: The Crystal Kingdom, the previous volume, held in its first month of release in July 2021 (see "July 2021 BookScan").
The rest of the Top 20 was manga, including two non-VIZ Media titles: Square Enix's My Dress-Up Darling, and Kodansha Comics' Blue Lock.
