Umamusume Manga Ends, Tops E-Book Charts

The beloved "Umamusume: Cinderella Gray" manga series has reached its conclusion with the release of its 23rd volume. This final installment immediately captured the top position on the e-book sales metrics for the current tracking period. It also secured strong placements in other sales categories, ranking sixth in physical book sales and sixteenth in e-commerce.

The manga, which focuses on the popular character Oguri Cap, follows its successful anime adaptation that aired last year. This strong performance highlights the continued engagement of fans with the "Umamusume: Pretty Derby" franchise.

Elsewhere on the charts, "Famiresu Iko. Part 2" by Yama Wayama maintained its strong performance, securing second place overall. "ONE PIECE Vol. 114" by Eiichiro Oda remained a top contender, holding the number one spot for physical sales for three consecutive weeks, with its digital edition slated for release on April 3rd.

Additionally, Andy Weir's "Project Hail Mary," recently adapted into a Hollywood film, re-entered the top 20 rankings. Its renewed visibility is attributed to the film's release in Japanese cinemas on March 20th. The novel showed broad appeal, charting across multiple metrics including social media, physical sales, e-commerce, e-books, and subscriptions.
