In a resounding testament to its unparalleled popularity, Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen has once again seized the top spot on Circana BookScan's definitive Top 20 Adult Graphic Novel list for July 2025 in the United States. The series' monumental 26th volume spearheaded this latest triumph, captivating readers with its highly anticipated and intensely dramatic confrontation between the formidable sorcerers Satoru Gojo and Ryomen Sukuna, a battle that has kept fans on the edge of their seats globally.

This achievement underscores Jujutsu Kaisen's enduring market dominance, with its presence not merely limited to its newest release. Remarkably, earlier volumes continue to demonstrate significant staying power; Volume 1, initially released in 2019, impressively charted at an astounding #9, while Volume 25 also secured a coveted position within the top 10. This consistent performance across multiple volumes highlights the series' robust and ever-expanding fanbase, cementing its status as a perennial bestseller.

The July rankings further illuminate the vibrant and diverse landscape of the manga industry. Hirohiko Araki's critically acclaimed JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 7: Steel Ball Run made a formidable entry, with two of its volumes breaking into the top 10, showcasing its enduring legacy. Alongside these titans, perennial fan favorites such as Eiichiro Oda's One Piece and Koyoharu Gotouge's Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba maintained their strong positions among the nation's bestselling titles, reaffirming their widespread appeal. Adding to this rich tapestry, Mokumokuren's compelling The Summer Hikaru Died also garnered attention, securing a spot in the competitive rankings and reflecting the breadth of reader interests.

This consistent market performance mirrors the trends observed in June, where Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 26 also led the charge, closely followed by popular series like My Hero Academia, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, and Chainsaw Man. The series' commercial prowess is undoubtedly amplified by its critically acclaimed anime adaptations, which have expanded its reach to a global audience. Seamless international distribution through major platforms such as Viz Media and Crunchyroll further solidifies its accessibility and widespread appeal, transforming it into a cultural phenomenon. Jujutsu Kaisen continues to redefine the contemporary shonen genre, leaving an indelible mark on both the Japanese and international entertainment landscapes. Its sustained sales momentum and deeply devoted readership unequivocally position it as a cornerstone of the 2025 manga market, promising continued success for years to come.
