Manga mania is surging in North America in May 2025. According to industry data, Japanese comics are selling strongly in the U.S. and Canada . Circana BookScan (covering about 85% of U.S. trade print sales) shows Jujutsu Kaisen Vol. 25 at #1 on the monthly charts, with One Piece (Vol. 108) also in the top 10. Top manga titles also rank highly on e-book charts (via Circana’s PubTrack Digital), reflecting the wider digital market. Following are the highlights of a mix of long-running hits and fast-rising series that are the best-selling manga of 2025 in North America.

Key best-selling manga titles right now include:

• Jujutsu Kaisen (Vol. 25) – Gege Akutami’s occult action series continues to dominate sales. The latest volume hit #1 on the April/May list. Its popularity is boosted by a hit anime and major new story developments, making it a perennial top seller.
  
  
• One Piece (Vol. 108) – Eiichiro Oda’s epic pirate adventure remains a top-seller. Volume 108, along with omnibus editions of early arcs, are flying off shelves. The enduring anime (and even the recent Netflix live-action) fuel interest in the manga.
  
  
• Blue Lock (Vol. 1 and 18) – This soccer-themed sports manga by Muneyuki Kaneshiro is a surprise hit. The original Vol. 1 was #4 in April, and the latest Vol. 18 also charted. A popular anime adaptation (debuting in 2022) has put Blue Lock in the spotlight, drawing in both sports fans and general readers.
  
  
• Dandadan (Vol. 12 and 1) – Yukinobu Tatsu’s zany supernatural comedy is breaking out. Recent volumes (Vol. 12 and reprinted Vol. 1) charted high after the series went viral on social media and manga communities. Its mix of monsters, humor and romance has created a strong buzz.
  
  
• Chainsaw Man (Vol. 17) – Tatsuki Fujimoto’s dark action-horror series remains a best-seller. The latest released vol. 17 is among the Top 20 titles. Chainsaw Man sales stay strong thanks to its popular anime (Part 1 aired in 2022) and the build-up to the next story arc.
  
  
• My Hero Academia (Vol. 40) – Kohei Horikoshi’s superhero school saga consistently sells. Vol. 40 ranked in April’s top manga list. With the anime running and the story reaching its climax, fans continue buying the manga in print and digitally.
  
  
• Dragon Ball Super (Vol. 23) – Akira Toriyama’s sequel to Dragon Ball is also on the charts. Vol. 23 placed at #5 in April. The Dragon Ball brand’s huge global fanbase and its ongoing anime series help keep these volumes among the most popular manga right now.
  
  

Each of these titles has a story or event driving its sales surge. Like Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man benefited from the recent anime hype, Blue Lock surfed the wave of new anime interest in sports manga, and Dandadan exploded thanks to its viral word-of-mouth. At the same time, legacy hits like One Piece, Dragon Ball Super, and My Hero Academia continue to rank highly thanks to long-running popularity. Note that both the print collections and the digital editions (e-book and app versions) are giving contributions to these rankings.

If we look at the current data, the best-selling manga titles in the U.S. and Canada combine strong storytelling with media exposure. A new arc in a shonen action series or a trendy romance/comedy, these manga top the charts in May 2025 because they capture the reader's attention. Anime adaptations, anniversary events, and even social-media trends (like TikTok or instagram’s reels recommendations) are helping these titles to climb the sales lists. In short, the most popular manga right now reflect both enduring classics and exciting newcomers – all of which are selling exceptionally well in 2025.
