Boruto Two Blue Vortex: Japan-Only Physical Sales Chart and Market Trends

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, the highly anticipated continuation of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, has reignited fan excitement across Japan and abroad. Following the major time-skip and redesigned characters, this sequel arc has generated a new wave of interest — not only in digital platforms but also in Japan’s traditional physical manga sales market.
Below, we analyze Boruto: Two Blue Vortex’s Japan-only physical sales chart, ranking trends, and how it performs compared to other Weekly Shonen Jump titles.

1. Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Physical Sales Performance in Japan

Since its launch in 2023, Two Blue Vortex volumes have maintained solid physical sales numbers within Japan’s manga market. According to recent Oricon and Jump Manga Index reports:

• Average Sales (First 2 Weeks): 70,000–90,000 copies per volume

• Cumulative Sales (Japan-only): Over 400,000 copies across the first few volumes

• Peak Demand Period: The debut volume release (Vol. 1) saw a strong spike due to the timeskip storyline and the reintroduction of older Boruto, Sarada, and Kawaki

Although these figures are smaller compared to mainstream giants like One Piece or Jujutsu Kaisen, they highlight Boruto’s resilience and its ability to sustain long-term readership, especially among fans of the Naruto legacy.

2. Ranking and Comparison with Other Jump Titles

In Japan’s weekly manga rankings, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex consistently places in the Top 30 during its launch weeks. Its sales remain comparable to other sequel-type manga from major franchises.

While Boruto may not reach the explosive numbers of top-tier Jump titles, its performance is consistent and stable, especially considering the reduced physical print market and increased reliance on digital readership.
