Even more than usual, anime and other streaming video are influencing the list of the Top 20 best-selling Adult graphic novels according to Circana (formerly NPD) BookScan data for March 2025 (3/2/25 – 4/5/25) provided to ICv2.
Two volumes of the Invincible Compendium are in the Top 20, and that is no doubt related to the fact that Season 3 of the Prime Video show launched in February (see “‘Invincible’ S3 Trailer”). This was clear from the ComicHub Top 20 as well, with five volumes of Invincible compendiums and digests in the March Top 20 (see “Top 20 Graphic Novels – March 2025”).
Vol. 13 of The Apothecary Diaries is a March release, but it’s also worth noting that the new season of the anime premiered in January 2025; Vol. 12 made the September 2024 chart, so this seems to be a series with a dedicated cohort of fans who pick up each new volume as it comes out.
Solo Leveling continues to be a strong seller, with five volumes on the March chart; the most recent volume has slipped to fourth place, while Vol. 1 is in second place, so new readers are still coming to this series as well. Like most of the other series on the chart, including Blue Lock and all the Shonen Jump titles, Solo Leveling has grown in popularity thanks to the anime adaptation.
