The ninth volume of Card Captor Sakura ~Clear Card arc~ debuted at the 3rd position in Oricon’s weekly ranking, with an estimate of 77,620 copies sold in its first week of sales. This is the second lowest first week sales for a Clear Card volume, only behind volume 2. This also happened last time, with volume 8, but unfortunately the numbers for volume 9 were even lower.
Special edition numbers aside and looking at regular edition numbers alone, volume 9 had a better performance than volume 8 (77,620, against 74,329 for volume 8 in its first week), but combined with the special edition (CD Drama part 2), volume 8 had a better first week.
These numbers are for the regular edition, only. Numbers for the special edition (Stationery set) are unknown as it did not appear on the ranking. Keep in mind that pre-orders and special edition sales might have affected these first week sales numbers.
It is worth mentioning that Oricon only takes into account a certain number of shops. These numbers are only an estimate and it’s possible that the real figures are higher than these.

The Oricon charts have been consistently filled with different volumes of Kimetsu no Yaiba for ages. The #4 slot this month is for a volume that came out three years ago. What is up with that series?

I don’t know what’s up either… it seems to be all the rage recently.
Even Mika Ninagawa was posting about it the other day: https://www.instagram.com/p/CGzbuxvAgil/
I guess there’s a movie out? I have no idea, honestly….

Yes, there’s a movie currently out for Kimetsu no Yaiba and it boosted the sales of all the manga volumes. UNDERSTOOD, KODANSHA AND MADHOUSE? IT BOOSTED THEM.

I hope it’s a case of a ton of people are preordering. Seeing the sales drop like this is stressing me out x_x We’re trying CLAMP, we really are D: I’m buying the English editions and I got two friends to buy them too.

Same here, I swear we are trying. I don’t think the real figures are these ones, but I also think it’s physiological for sales to drop along the way, especially if the story is not a shounen…All the big titles are shounen series, these last years.
