Haikyuu Manga has Sold an Insane 3.1 Million Copies since Season 4 Ended

The fourth season of the beloved shonen Haikyuu!! ended last December and left us all on a pretty f**king high note of a cliffhanger. While a large number of fans have been patiently waiting for the announcement of the fifth season so they can finally see the much-awaited battle at the trash heap, a huge number of fans have moved towards reading the manga.

The Haikyuu manga series has now sold a whopping 3.1 million copies in Japan just between the December of last year and this June. The manga is currently the ninth highest-selling manga series of 2021 so far in Japan even though volume 45 aka the final volume came out back in July 2020.

And the streak has continued even in the current year as it has constantly managed to chart on Oricon often among the Top 15 Manga Series of the Month.

Haikyuu: To the Top’s second cour aired during the fall anime season in 2020 and aired the final episode of the season in December. The season featured Karasuno’s battle with the ultimate challengers of Volleyball, Inarizaki High, as they continue to rise to the top to win the Spring Inter-High Volleyball tournament.

Haikyuu was also the third biggest show on Twitter last year. The anime will most likely resume its flight to the top next year.
