Commentary: 

• The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse stays on top for the twelfth straight week.
• The top debut this week is the One Piece spin-off One Piece: Ace's Story.
• Other new items on the chart this week consist of either manga volumes: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Dr. Stone in print; Lazy Dungeon Master, The Hero Life of a (Self-Proclaimed) "Mediocre" Demon!, and Loner Life in Another World on Kindle. Or two issues of the digital-first Batman: The Adventures Continue.
• More than half of this week's top fifty are manga collections, continuing the manga renaissance of late. 
• 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.
• Wash you hands. And practice sensible social distancing. Read comics.
