This performance underscores the continued strength of long-running Shonen Jump properties in physical print markets.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Returns to Top 10

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Volume 9 officially returned from its recent hiatus, selling over 30,000 copies to grab a spot in the weekly rankings. The series' return to the top 10 highlights the enduring commercial power of the Naruto universe even after breaks in serialization. The volume was released on October 2, 2026, and its immediate chart entry demonstrates that fan demand remained high during the hiatus period.
