New volumes of popular manga series dominated the chart of the Top 20 best-selling Adult graphic novels, while Dav Pilkey’s creations ruled the Kids chart, based on Circana (formerly NPD) BookScan data for March 2024 (3/3/24 – 4/6/24) provided to ICv2.

The latest volumes of My Hero Academia, Spy x Family, One Piece, and Chainsaw Man (a February release back for a second month) take the top four slots.  In sixth and seventh place are the first volume of One Piece: Ace’s Story—The Manga, which is adapted from a novel, and the one-shot One Piece: Shokugeki no Sanji (see "VIZ Licenses One Piece/Food Wars Mashup”).  It’s not unusual to have one or two volumes of One Piece in the Top 20, but the March chart has four, including the first volume of the omnibus edition.

All but one title on the chart is either manga or manhwa; all the manhwa are volumes of Solo Leveling from Ize Press (driven by the streaming anime), and all but one of the manga are from VIZ Media.

Topping the Kids chart is the 12th volume of Dog Man, and between the Dog Man and Cat Kid series, creator Dav Pilkey takes 12 of the slots in the top 20. What’s more, Graphix pretty much owns the chart, with just two titles from other publishers making the March top 20: InvestiGators: Agents of S.U.I.T.: From Badger to Worse, a February release that’s back on the chart for the second month, and the latest Big Nate book, which came out in March.
