Commentary: 

• The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse returns to the top of the chart this week after slipping down last week in the wake of the Berserk tidal wave. Nothing can stand in the way of a boy and his horse! (and his mole and his fox...)
• Speaking of Berserk, sales decline a bit from last week; all of the tankobon editions drop off the chart completely, but the nine Deluxe editions still stay in the top fifteen.
• While the third issue actually came out this week, the top debut is actually the pre-order for the Kindle edition of the fourth issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin. It's joined by the pre-order for an upcoming issue of Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures, also on Kindle. I must admit I don't quite get the point of pre-ordering digital comics—it's not like the supply is going to run out—but whatever makes people happy.
• All the other debuts this week are pre-orders as well, but for physical books:
  Dinosaur Therapy (a collection of the popular Instagram comic @dinosandcomics); and upcoming volumes of manga series Spy x Family and Dragon Ball Super.
• Manga count: thirty-four manga volumes in the top fifty, down three from last week.
• Get a vaccine. Wash your hands. Wear a face mask when in public, enclosed spaces. Practice sensible social distancing. Read comics!
