We can see that both Oshi no Ko and Kimetsu no Yaiba: Katanakaji no Sato-hen are very close in the top two positions of the pre-order rankings. Kimetsu no Yaiba isn't surprising, considering that the previous installments in the franchise were huge sales successes one after the other. The surprise, however, comes from Oshi no Ko, a brand-new series that has already enchanted audiences after just two episodes.
It's pretty obvious that the listed positions will change in the coming months, but this start is already an important indicator of popularity and sales potential and who will dominate this season.
