Unprecedented Surge: Kagurabachi Manga Surges Past Jujutsu Kaisen, Setting Sights on Dethroning One Piece!

The recent release of the fifth chapter of the Kagurabachi manga has further solidified its success and popularity. It has once again climbed up the ratings chart on MANGA Plus, surpassing even the highly acclaimed Jujutsu Kaisen manga series by Gege Akutami. This achievement is all the more remarkable considering the widespread popularity of Akutami's work, despite the fact that it was on a break week when Hokazono published the fifth chapter of Kagurabachi.

The latest

As mentioned earlier, the Kagurabachi manga series has overtaken Jujutsu Kaisen in MANGA Plus' ratings chart and is now posing a challenge to One Piece for the top spot.

Currently, Akutami's series holds the third position with 865 thousand reads, Hokazono's comes in second with 885 thousand, and Oda's maintains its lead with just over a million. Chainsaw Man claims the fourth spot with 767 thousand reads, approximately a hundred thousand fewer than Akutami's manga.

Interestingly, Hokazono’s series appears to be the first true contender challenging One Piece's reign at the top, ever since Chainsaw Man released its second part in July 2022. Upon its comeback, Fujimoto’s series managed to maintain its supremacy over Oda's creation for an entire year, only relinquishing the first-place position this past summer.

Although other series have temporarily surpassed MANGA Plus juggernauts during that one-year period, these two have consistently remained in the top two positions. Interestingly, similar to Chainsaw Man, Kagurabachi is another "fresh" manga that has the potential to surpass the popularity of all established series.

However, it is expected that One Piece will reclaim the number one spot as it continues its final arc, mainly due to the excitement surrounding the series' sprint towards its conclusion. This is understandable, considering that the story has been a 25-year-long adventure in the making.

However, the popularity of Hoazono's series cannot be underestimated, nor can its success in climbing the MANGA Plus rankings.
