In what has become a pattern in recent months, the newest volume of Jujutsu Kaisen topped the chart of the Top 20 best-selling Adult graphic novels according to Circana (formerly NPD) BookScan data for November 2025 (11/2/25 – 11/29/25) provided to ICv2.
Each new volume of Jujutsu Kaisen is the top selling graphic novel in its release month, and often beyond; a volume of this series has sat at the number one spot for six of the last eight months. November’s Top 20 also includes three earlier volumes. With the theatrical release kicking off the third season of the anime over the weekend (which grossed over $10 million on over 1,800 domestic screens), and the upcoming streaming premiere of Season 3 in January 2026, the property is likely to remain strong through the holidays and beyond.
Last month’s number one title, Vol. 19 of Chainsaw Man, moves to number 3 in November, and Vols. 1 and 18 are also in the Top 20. This series is getting a boost from the theatrical anime (see “‘Chainsaw Man’ Carves Up BO“). Most of the other series on the chart also tie in with popular anime, although it’s worth noting that Vol. 1 of the 25th Anniversary Edition of Nana is on the chart for the second month in a row. This series continues to have a strong following.
The sole non-manga title in the Top 20 was Vol. 1 of Absolute Batman, on the chart for the third time in four months. The hardcover edition of Vol. 9 of Lore Olympus and the Compact Comics edition of Batman: The Long Halloween, both October releases (see ” October 2025 Circana BookScan“), did not make the November chart.
