Even the Guinness World Records statistics have bowed before the glorious supremacy of Gege Akutami’s masterclass supernatural saga Jujutsu Kaisen, proving its relevance in modern pop culture. In April, GWR officially declared JJK the “world’s most in-demand animated TV show”, a title previously held by the Attack on Titan series from 2020.
The show’s popularity also increased earlier this month when Jujutsu Kaisen took the top ranking spot on Netflix’s Global Top 10 TV (Non-English) chart. Ranking 9th, JJK achieved 1 million views from May 6-12, 2024. Topping that spot on a different scale, the anime’s source text took precedence on the New York Times Bestseller list on the Graphic Books and Manga Index in May 2024.
Moving up, it became one of three manga titles on the list this month. Jujutsu Kaisen volume 22, centering on a cursed spirit that threatens to endanger Maki and Noritoshi, took the lead at #2, while the other manga volumes lagged behind.

Tatsuya Ando’s Spy X Family Volume 11 maintained its position as one of the bestsellers of the month, ranking at #7. However, the manga slipped a few ranks in May and landed at 13th place.
Restoring its reign on the bestseller charts, Kentaro Miura’s Berserk Deluxe Volume 1 re-enters the market at #8 after hitting the 11th spot in March 2024. The NY Times explains its plot: “A swordsman teams up with the leader of a mercenary gang to fight the forces of evil; Collects the first three issues of the manga series.”
List of popular action-packed graphic novels
Although not a manga, Robert Kirkman’s collaborations with several illustrators led to the highly acclaimed graphic novel series Invincible. Subsequently, it inspired one of the best contemporary superhero sagas for TV, raising the stakes with its animated vision, willing to go the extra mile to accurately portray the gruesome and gritty lives of beloved characters.
Highlighting the hard facts and complexities of being a hero, both volumes (1 and 2) of the Invincible Compendium series made the New York Times Bestselling lists on the Graphic Books and Manga Index. While volume 1 ranked at #6, the second volume claimed the 14th position.

Set in an alternate universe, Kevin Eastman, Tom Waltz, and Peter Laird’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin was another popular high-octane superhero series on the list, coming in at #10. The NY Times description of the story reads, “A lonely turtle goes on a mission to seek justice for his family in post-apocalyptic New York.”
