Anime is propelling a handful of titles to the top of the Author and Manga charts, while the Turtles continue to rule the Superhero Top 20.

Year over year sales of Author and Superhero titles were up, but manga continued its decline.

These are unit and dollar sales rankings based on sales tracked at point-of-sale by the ComicHub system at stores selling American graphic novels (and manga) around the world.

This chart of the top Superhero, Author, and Kids graphic novel franchises reflects sales in the bookstore and comics retail channels from September through December 2023.

The January charts include plenty of manhwa, the massive ROM omnibus, and a whole lotta Jujutsu Kaisen.

Solo Leveling and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles led strong sales on the Author and Superhero charts, while manga sales sagged.

When the anime ends but the manga keeps going, fans pick up the manga; on the Kids chart, two new titles in long-running series break the Top 20.

Sales of the Top 20 Adult titles were down year over year, but the Top 20 Kids titles were up.

Here’s a look at some upcoming anime shows and films that are adapted from licensed manga.
