Items with asterisks (*) are pre-order items.
Items with dollar signs ($) were part of a deeply discounted Kindle sale this week
N = New listing appearing on list for first time 
R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks

Commentary: 
  • The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse stays on top for the tenth straight week.
  • The top debut this week is a new volume of Tokyo Ghoul: re; it is joined by the pre-order for an upcoming volume of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, and a bargain-priced Kindle edition of the first volume of Gleipnir.
  • There are eight volumes of Demon Slayer and eight of My Hero Academia on the chart this week. Twenty-nine of the top fifty this week are manga volumes.
  • Like previous recent weeks, the chart is actually dominated by Kindle Unlimited, Prime Reading, and other types of digital comics that we strip out of the list. I imagine this will be the case for the duration.
  • Pretty much every physical book from Amazon is now three weeks shipping instead of two days, as Amazon prioritizes essential items moving through their warehouses. It is unknown how many people just don't place orders for books that won't arrive for a while.
  • Wash your hands.
