https://www.booklista.co.jp/ranking2024/ The overall number one ranking for 2024 is the comic “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime” volume 25. The same comic ranked in 2nd place with 26 volumes, and in 3rd place with 27 volumes, showing the popularity of the different world fantasy “Tensura” as it did last year. In addition, in 4th and 5th place in the overall ranking, Volume 5 of “An old man from the countryside becomes a swordsman – I was just a rural swordsmanship instructor, but my successful disciples won’t let me go” “Jujutsu Kaisen” volume 25 ranks in 6th place, and “Funeral Freeren” volume 13 ranks in 7th place. 1st place in the comic category goes to “Kingdom,” an ancient Chinese taiga romance that is gaining momentum. In the vertical reading comic category, which was newly established this year, the otherworldly doting love story “I’m a Mob, but I’m Doted on by an Overprotective Duke” won first place. First place in the novel category went to the Yatagarasu series, an epic Japanese-style taiga fantasy series that was even made into an anime. In the light novel category, “Yakuya no Hitorigoto”, which is eagerly awaited for the second season of the TV anime, and in the magazine category, “Weekly Play” took first place for the second time last year. I hope that I will have encounters with various works in 2025 as well.
