Spy x Family has taken the top spot in Japan’s latest weekly manga sales ranking, pushing Dandadan into second place despite both series releasing new volumes on the same day. According to Oricon’s sales data for November 2–8, 2026, Spy x Family Volume 18 sold an estimated 253,866 copies, while Dandadan Volume 26 managed 63,028 copies.
This means Tatsuya Endo’s manga outsold Yukinobu Tatsu’s supernatural action series by approximately four times during the same tracking period. The result highlights the continued commercial strength of Spy x Family, which remains one of Shueisha’s biggest manga properties.
The figures were reported by Oricon News, with the weekly ranking covering physical manga sales in Japan.

Spy x Family’s Manga Success Comes Ahead of Its 2027 Anime Return
Created by Tatsuya Endo, Spy x Family follows Twilight, an elite spy who must establish a fake family to complete an important mission. He adopts Anya, a young girl with telepathic abilities, and marries Yor, an assassin who secretly leads a double life. Their unusual family arrangement becomes the foundation for the series’ blend of espionage, comedy, action, and family drama.
The latest sales performance arrives shortly after an important announcement for the franchise’s anime adaptation. On November 8, the official Spy x Family website confirmed that Season 4 and a second theatrical movie are both scheduled for 2027. A new Season 4 teaser visual featuring Loid, Yor, Anya, and Bond was also unveiled. However, neither project has received a specific release date yet.
Meanwhile, Dandadan also has an important year ahead. Science SARU has confirmed that the anime’s third season is scheduled for 2027, giving both manga franchises another opportunity to attract audiences through their upcoming anime releases.
Although weekly manga rankings only represent a specific sales period, Spy x Family‘s latest performance demonstrates the franchise’s considerable readership in Japan. Its fourth anime season and second movie announcement could further strengthen interest in the series ahead of their 2027 releases.
