Les ventes de mangas en France (2024-2025) #5DC – S11 E3

The overall French manga market is down by -12.1% in units compared to the September 2023 - August 2024 period.

The ranking provided above explicitly excludes manhwas I believe, hence why Solo Leveling is absent. It probably wouldn't be far from the top 5 otherwise.

Instinct, French youtube creator Inoxtag's manga, sold close to 500,000 units in that timeframe. It is the best-selling single volume.

The best-selling new manga series aside from it is Kagurabachi, selling more than twice as many units as the next best-selling new series (ONE's Versus)
