World Trigger Volume 30 Leads Japan’s October Manga Sales

World Trigger volume 30 ranked first in Japan’s October 2026 comic sales with 280,785 copies sold. Oricon Inc. announced its monthly ranking on November 9.

The chart covers estimated print sales at retail outlets across Japan from September 28 to November 1.

Daisuke Ashihara’s World Trigger volume 30 shipped in Japan on October 2. Its anime will return with a “Reboot Project” adapting the manga again from its first chapter.

Toei Animation will continue producing the anime. Staff described it as a “powered up World Trigger 1st Season,” covering these arcs:

• Border Enlistment Arc
• Large-Scale Invasion Arc
• B-Rank Wars Arc

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken) volume 33 placed second with 261,337 copies sold. It shipped in Japan on October 8.

Taiki Kawakami’s manga adapts Fuse and Mitz Vah’s light novel series of the same title. The long-running anime bases its story on the manga rather than directly on the novels.

Kodansha USA Publishing releases the manga in English. The anime’s fourth season will debut its third cours—a quarter-year broadcast run—in July 2027.

Gōshō Aoyama’s Case Closed (Meitantei Conan) volume 109 took third with 209,686 copies sold. It shipped in Japan on October 16.

The Counterfeit Case of Ultra 30 (Detective Conan: 30-gō Satsujin Jiken) debuted in Japan on September 25. It was the franchise’s first new two-hour special in 10 years.

Detective Conan: Fallen Angel of the Highway (Detective Conan: Highway no Datenshi), the franchise’s 29th film, opened in Japan on April 10.
