Solo Leveling’s Volume 13 Overtakes US Graphic Novel Charts, Outselling Batman and Jujutsu Kaisen
While anticipation built among US fans for Season 3 of Solo Leveling’s anime, Yen Press’s Ize Press imprint’s Volume 13 achieved a significant milestone in August. It topped the graphic novel and manga charts, notably outselling Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 27 and Absolute Batman Volume 1: The Zoo. This success underscores the growing global popularity of Asian works. Japanese series such as Dan Da Dan Volume 14 and Spy x Family Volume 14 further highlight this trend, having secured spots on the New York Times Bestseller list.
