With the release of its physical volumes in Japan, Kagurabachi Volume 1 set records with its rapid sales, and now Volume 2 is following suit. Reports from @brkagurabachi on X indicate that stores are struggling to keep up with demand, with restocks yet to arrive and talks of immediate reprints already in motion.

The manga’s premise offers a blend of familial bonds, tragedy, and vengeance that grips readers from the get-go. As young Chihiro trains under his renowned swordsmith father, their idyllic days are shattered by a sudden tragedy, thrusting Chihiro onto a path of revenge and epic sword battles.
