Jujutsu Kaisen ≡ Vol. 1 by Yuji Iwasaki and Gege Akutami bows at No. 1 on Billboard Japan’s Book Hot 100, for the chart released Jan. 15.

The Japan Book Hot 100 is a comprehensive chart combining physical sales, e-books, library loans, subscription data and social media activity. The first volume of Jujutsu Kaisen ≡ (Modulo), a spinoff of the blockbuster manga Jujutsu Kaisen, opens atop the chart. Set in the near future of the original series, the story follows the grandchildren of Yuta Okkotsu and Maki. The volume sweeps physical stores, EC (e-commerce), and e-books, taking No. 1 across all three metrics and finishing with nearly double the points of the runner-up.

In the first chart week following the New Year holidays, the latest volumes of popular manga line the upper tier. At No. 2 is Yukinobu Tatsu’s Dandadan Vol. 22, coming in at No. 3 for physical stores, No. 6 for EC, and No. 2 for e-books. Takeru Hokazono’s Kagurabachi Vol. 10 follows at No. 3, landing within the top 5 across three metrics: No. 2 for physical stores, No. 5 for EC, and No. 4 for e-books.

Debuting at No. 19 is Samuwan Hertz (Someone Hertz) Vol. 1 by Ei Yamano. Centered on the theme of late-night radio, the teenage romantic comedy enters the top 20 in both physical stores and EC.
