My Hero Academia is one of the best new-gen manga series. Written by Horikoshi Kohei, the manga has gained popularity because of its unique setting and world-building. After starting in 2014, the My Hero Academia manga came to an end in 2024.
The manga was in its final arc, so it is hardly surprising that it finished as one of the best-selling titles of 2024. While the manga has wrapped things up, the anime has yet to release the final season of the anime.

Kingdom has been an ever-present figure on the best-selling lists, and it’s hardly surprising given Yasuhisa Hara’s quality of writing. Kingdom is heavily inspired by Chinese history, and it offers readers a look into how things were at the time.
The manga sold well over 3 million copies in 2024, which is a big achievement considering it doesn’t have the same online presence as some of the titles from the Weekly Shonen Jump.

Frieren finished in the top 3 for the first time. While it had a dedicated fan base, the anime adaptation exposed it to the mainstream audience. The anime adaptation helped the manga to reach a wider audience, which in turn helped to increase sales.
Frieren offers a different experience than most manga titles, and it has been a driving factor behind its popularity. A second season of the anime has already been announced, and it is likely to air in 2025. So, there is a good chance that the manga will end up among the bestsellers for the second consecutive year.

One Piece had to settle for the second spot for a second consecutive year. The manga only released three new volumes, and it still managed to sell 5 million, which shows how popular the series is. The One Piece manga entered a new arc in 2024, which boosted the overall sales.
Oda also had to take multiple breaks due to his health, leading to a reduced number of chapters. One Piece fans will be hoping that the author of their beloved series manages to overcome his health complications even if it means releasing fewer chapters next year.

Jujutsu Kaisen took the top spot in terms of sales in 2024. The manga sold over 7 million copies, and it had a gap of over 2 million over One Piece. The manga’s sales were so high due to the series being in its final phase. Fans were desperate to see how the story of Yuji reached its conclusion.
Given that the manga is over, it is unlikely that Jujutsu Kaisen will retain the top spot in next year’s ranking. However, it could finish in the top 3 if MAPPA releases season three of the anime.
