Attack on Titan, One-Punch Man also rank
The sixth volume of Sui Ishida's Tokyo Ghoul manga ranked #7 on the Nielsen BookScan's Top 20 list for April. The first volume ranked #10 and the fifth volume ranked #18.
The first volume of the manga had ranked at #9 in March, and the fifth volume had ranked at #8 in March.
The 18th volume of Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan manga ranked #11 on April's list, and the first volume of ONE and Yuusuke Murata's One-Punch Man manga ranked #12.
The BookScan rankings represent sales at Barnes & Noble and other book chains, independent bookshops, and online purchases — but not sales at comic book stores, Amazon, Walmart.com, and some other venues.
