Mizuho Kusanagi's final volume of Akatsuki no Yona, titled "Akatsuki no Yona" Vol. 48, has taken the top spot on the Billboard Japan Book Hot 100 chart, released on October 29. The manga, which began serialization in Hana to Yume magazine in 2009, has achieved an impressive feat by claiming the number one position across three key metrics: physical book sales, e-commerce, and e-books.
The second manga by FANTASTICS member Yusei Yagi, "Be my," secured the second position, leading the e-commerce metric. Last week's number one, Gosho Aoyama's Meitantei Conan Vol. 109, remains at the top in terms of physical book sales. At the fourth position, Souryu's Kou Iu no ga Ii Vol. 14 leads the e-books category, while Yu Nagira's Nanji, Hoshi no Gotoku ranks fifth, topping both subscriptions and social media metrics.
This week, Akatsuki no Yona demonstrated a well-rounded performance, scoring highly across all metrics. Other titles making an impact include Akiko Abe's Cafuné, which holds the sixth position, and Yu Nagira's Hoshi wo Amu, which rounds out the top ten at number ten. The Billboard Japan Book Hot 100 is a comprehensive ranking that combines physical books, e-books, subscriptions like library loans, and social media buzz. The chart covers the week from October 19 to 25.
