It seems it's circulation
So the Oricon numbers we have been seeing were wrong?
It seems Jujutsu should be 3 million when the two new volumes drop in January, these are some nice numbers.
Maybe they use that term for circulation, I don't know.
People who have counted may have forgotten numbers (maybe they do not have access to numbers, for example when it's not in the top 50 weekly). Or, as said above, Shûeisha added digital sales.
Also, I think Oricon is independent and do their total in terms of reported sales with them. I think I'll wait til Oricon releases their data
I highly doubt you miss three million in your counting of a series sales. Digital seems infinitely more likely.

If the claim that these numbers are reported directly from Shueisha is the truth, then Oricon's numbers don't matter anymore. Shueisha's numbers are always going to be more accurate than projected estimates.
Do they release this every year or is this the first time they write an article like this and about this? It's the first time I've read this honestly. Most of the time I see Oricon as the main reference to check sales and all that.
I never understood this. They won either way, regardless if its OP or Kimetsu at the #1 spot. It's not like OP lost its feat of best selling manga of all time lol.

Thats why i said is super off, by public known numbers Yaiba is supposed to be at 12+ million so how by Shueisha Yaiba is just around 10 million and One Piece suddenly jumps to almost 13 million? it just doesn't match at all, and if it includes digital Yaiba numbers should be much higher than 10 million.
I mean that's still pretty accurate sample size... I mean just to compare, TV ratings company like Nielsen in the US uses a sample of thousands to represent millions....
