The manga was in its final stages, so it's no surprise that it will end up as one of the best-selling titles of 2024. While the manga has wrapped things up, the anime has yet to release its final season.

Kingdom has been an ever-present figure on bestseller lists, and that's no surprise given the quality of Yasuhisa Hara's writing. The Kingdom is heavily inspired by Chinese history and gives readers a glimpse into what it was like back then.
The manga has sold over 3 million copies in 2024, which is a huge achievement considering it doesn't have an online presence like some Weekly Shonen Jump titles.

For the first time, Freiren was among the top 3 teams. While the anime had a dedicated fan base, the anime adaptation brought it to mainstream audiences. The anime adaptation helped the manga attract a larger audience, which in turn helped boost sales.
Frieren offers a different experience than most manga titles and has been a driving factor in its popularity. The second season of this anime has already been announced and will probably air in 2025. Therefore, there is a good chance that this manga will become a bestseller for the second year in a row.

One Piece had to settle for second place for the second year in a row. The manga only released three new volumes and still managed to sell 5 million, which shows how popular the series is. The One Piece manga entered a new arc in 2024 that boosted overall sales.
Oda was also forced to take numerous breaks due to his health, which led to a reduced number of seasons. One Piece fans are hoping that the author of their beloved series can overcome his health problems, even if it means fewer seasons next year.

Kaizen Jujutsu ranked first in sales in 2024. The manga sold more than 7 million copies, more than 2 million copies away from One Piece. Manga sales were very high because the series is in its final phase. Fans were desperate to see how Yuji's story ended.
Considering that the manga has ended, it is unlikely that Kaisen Jujutsu will retain the top spot in next year's rankings. However, if MAPPA releases the third season of the anime, it could be in the top 3 games.
