Commentary: 
  • The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse stays on top for the eighth straight week.
  • The top debut this week is the Batman: Last Knight on Earth collection, a good reminder that even though DC isn't sending out new comics to comic stores via Diamond, they still have collected editions in the pipelines that are making their way to any book stores that may be open.
  • All the other debuts this week are manga: the new volume of Boruto; pre-orders for upcoming volumes of Komi Can't Communicate and Persona 5; and the bargain-priced Kindle edition of the first volume of Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro.
  • Like last week, 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.
