This article contains spoilers from Demon Slayer.
Demon Slayer is one of the hottest anime series of 2025, and given the success that the series has found with Infinity Castle, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that Demon Slayer is actually the very best anime release of this year. The movie broke all box office records in Japan and it's found tremendous success internationally as well. To say that Demon Slayer is a blockbuster hit would be an understatement.
Demon Slayer: 7 Things to Expect in Infinity Castle Part 2
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 was a hit, but now, fans are looking forward to the next movie, Infinity Castle Part 2.
While Demon Slayer continues to dominate the world of anime, its manga isn't lagging behind either. Demon Slayer manga ended years ago in 2020, however, every time the series drops a new anime season or, in this case, a movie, sales for the manga pick up again. Given how massive Infinity Castle was, the Demon Slayer manga received a massive boost in Japan for manga sales. The manga was also the best-selling in the month of August, with over 500,000 copies sold. Now, however, a new surprising manga has officially beaten Demon Slayer, against all the odds.
The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity Has Surpassed Demon Slayer Sales
The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity Is The Third Most Selling Manga For September
- Demon Slayer received a major boost from Infinity Castle
- Demon Slayer was the top-selling manga in August in Japan
First things first, it is commendable for Demon Slayer to even be in the running for the most sold manga when the series isn't running anymore. It just goes to show how massive it's gotten over the years and what an impact it's had over the years in Japan. Demon Slayer has sold over a million copies since the release of Infinity Castle, and that's truly stunning, to say the least. In August, it was the most sold manga in Japan, according to Oricon. But, in September, it seems that the sales are finally falling. Demon Slayer officially dropped from #1 to #4 in the month of August, with total sales of 345k for the month.
New 2025 Hit Anime Movie Is Coming for Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle's Throne
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is the king of anime movies in 2025, but this new movie is coming for its throne.
It has officially been beaten by a rather new manga, The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity, which sold over 363k copies overall. This massive boost in popularity for The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity comes from the anime series, which concluded not all that long ago. The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity falls in the Shonen demographic, but it certainly does carry elements of a Shoujo manga, and most would say it is aimed at that demographic instead. Regardless, it is a brilliant story that has found tremendous success this year.
Kaiju No. 8 Is The Most Sold Manga For September
The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity Closes In On The Top Spot
While The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity took the third place on the Oricon charts ahead of Demon Slayer, the top two positions have been taken by Kaiju No. 8, and Chainsaw Man. Chainsaw Man’s latest release sees it gain popularity once again, taking the #2 spot overall with 380k sales, and Kaiju No. 8, which ended recently, still goes strong and accumulated a total of 427,798 copies sold in the month of September.
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 is out in theatres now. Fans who don't want to wait for the movies to drop can check the manga out on Manga Plus. Meanwhile, for the anime, the series currently has 4 anime seasons. These anime seasons can all be found on Crunchyroll.
