Spy x Family Dethrones One Piece: Latest Manga Sales Rankings Upend the Leaderboard
Spy x Family just toppled One Piece on Oricon’s Weekly Manga Sales Ranking, claiming No. 1 on the October 13, 2025 chart with 269,138 copies sold while Eiichiro Oda’s juggernaut didn’t even crack the top ten.
Well, this is a curveball: the latest Oricon Weekly Manga Sales Ranking (week of Oct 13, 2025) has 'Spy x Family' sitting at number one, and 'One Piece' is nowhere in the top ten. Yes, really.
Spy x Family leads, One Piece sits this one out
Tatsuya Endo's 'Spy x Family' Vol. 16 moved an estimated 269,138 copies and took the crown. The series keeps threading the needle between warm-and-fuzzy and sneakily tense: the new volume pushes Lloyd into a bigger spy tangle while Melinda Desmond is in for medical testing, and it drops a major Donovan Desmond reveal. Cozy family beats, comic misunderstandings, and spy-movie jitters all in one package. The Forgers are embedded behind enemy lines and on half the country's shelves.
Right behind it, Chika Umino's 'March Comes in Like a Lion' Vol. 18 lands a clean second with a volume that leans into patience, pain, and the slow, earned wins this series is great at. Third place? 'Kagurabachi' Vol. 9. Takeru Hokazono's breakout continues to prove it's more than meme momentum, with a slick, cinematic style that clearly stuck with readers.
The headline-grabber, though: Eiichiro Oda's 'One Piece' didn't crack the top ten this week. After decades of basically living on these charts, even legends take the occasional breather. Consider it an opening for newer hits to have their moment.

The read on the room: variety wins
Oricon's snapshot this week doubles as a quick vibe check: readers are spreading out. It's not just one or two mega-franchises vacuuming up all the oxygen anymore. A slice-of-life spy comedy can outsell battle shonen. A meditative drama can hang with action heavyweights. And the fight-centric books still punch hard when they show up with style.
On the softer side, 'Spy x Family', 'March Comes in Like a Lion', and 'Blue Box' are connecting thanks to grounded characters and emotional payoffs. Meanwhile, 'Kagurabachi', 'One-Punch Man', and 'Dandadan' keep adrenaline fans fed with sharp visuals, moral gray zones, and set pieces that feel built for a camera. As for legacy brands, 'Boruto' stays in the mix, and 'One Piece' casting a rare no-show this week feels less like a fall-off and more like the market making room for a wider range of tastes.
Bottom line
Manga in 2025 is healthy and getting weirder in the fun way. 'Spy x Family' keeps cashing in on heart and humor, 'March Comes in Like a Lion' continues to emotionally wreck its fans on schedule, and 'Kagurabachi' is carving out space as a legit shonen contender. 'One Piece' will always loom over the landscape, but for this week at least, the spotlight belongs to the new guard. Whether you're laughing with Anya, tearing up with Rei, or watching Chihiro cut his way through trouble, it's a good time to be reading.
