Jujutsu Kaisen claims the top spot as the best-selling anime and manga franchise in Japan for 2024. The report, based on physical media sales, highlights the success of the anime adaptation and the conclusion of the manga series. Slam Dunk's impressive showing at number eight is attributed to the success of the anime film 'The First Slam Dunk'.
It's no secret that the anime industry has experienced a boom in recent times. Coming off a record-breaking year which saw the industry generate nearly 20 billion dollars in revenue, 2024 swung for the fences with new releases from some of the biggest franchises around.

The Apothecary Diaries was an impressively close runner-up, no doubt due in large part to its anime's first season, along with the popularity of its light novels and manga. The biggest surprise on the list is Slam Dunk, coming in at eighth. The original manga series by Takehiko Inoue ceased publication nearly thirty years ago, but was able to bring in big-time revenue from the anime film, The First Slam Dunk, which released on Blu-ray in Japan in February 2024. Frieren also saw a massive jump after its anime adaptation's first season was met with enormous acclai
