Spy x Family has just beaten One Piece on the latest Weekly Manga Sales Ranking (October 13th, 2025) by Oricon. Yes, Tatsuya Endo’s cute spy family story is dominating the number one slot with 269,138 copies sold, and Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece didn’t even crack the top ten this week.
What’s even crazier is that Chika Umino’s March Comes in Like a Lion Vol. 18 comes second, and Kagurabachi Vol. 9 took the third position. Now, let’s break down the ranking as it perfectly sums up the wild state of today’s manga scene in Japan.
Japan’s Reading Mood This Week: Spy x Family Leads the Chart, While One Piece Falls Behind
Honestly, Spy x Family has completely mastered the greatness formula. In Chapter 16, Lloyd is thrown into a major spy game as Melinda Desmond is getting her medical testing done, and one big secret about Donovan Desmond is revealed.
With cozy family scenes, humorous miscommunication, and good old spy thrills, Spy x Family reminds us all over again that wholesome chaos is big bucks. The Forger family is not only inserted deep within the enemy’s lines, but everyone’s bookshelves, too.
Sliding into second, Chika Umino’s March Comes in Like a Lion Vol. 18 gives us the gut punch we’ve been waiting for. If Spy x Family is about laughter and love, March Comes in Like a Lion takes time with suffering and patience.
Third place goes to Kagurabachi Vol. 9. Takeru Hokazono has officially proved that Kagurabachi isn’t just viral hype, it’s a rising shonen powerhouse with a cinematic vibe. The fact that it’s coming next to Spy x Family and March Comes in Like a Lion is actually a testament to how unpredictable manga sales have become.
So now here’s the real shocker: One Piece didn’t even make it to the top ten this week. Yup, even after decades of ruling the charts, Eiichiro Oda’s legendary series had to step aside and let the new generation have their moment. Here’s the Top 10 Manga in Japan (according to Oricon Weekly Ranking – Oct 13 2025)
The Manga Trend Tracker: Slice-of-Life vs. Shonen Showdowns
The Oricon Weekly Manga Sales Chart for October 2025 is not just a list, but a vibe check on what is trending today. Those days are gone when the chart was dominated by one or two big players. Instead, we’re seeing a balanced ecosystem where a slice-of-life manga can outsell a battle shonen.
Oricon’s statistics don’t lie. Manga readers from Japan are diversifying, testing out, and showing that the emotional range and creativity now matter more than legacy alone. Below is a table showing the manga trend tracker based on Oricon’s chart.
In the end, this week’s ranking shows one thing very clearly: manga is evolving fast. Spy x Family continues to dominate with heart and humor, March Comes in Like a Lion keeps readers emotionally wrecked, and Kagurabachi is out for blood like literally.
Meanwhile, One Piece might have taken a rare break, but its influence still looms large. And whether you’re laughing with Anya, tearing up with Rei, or fighting demons with Chihiro, one thing is for sure: Japan’s manga scene in 2025 is thriving like never before.
