Right now, Jujutsu Kaisen's success cannot be understated. Recently, it was revealed that Jujutsu Kaisen has officially defeated one of the Big Three, and that is Bleach.

Jujutsu Kaisen has surpassed Bleach in manga sales

Jujutsu Kaisen is 150 million in sales
-
Bleach has 130 million sales
The Big Three is the name given by fans to the three most popular shonen series of the 2000s. These series are One Piece, Naruto and Bleach. Each of these series is very popular and has its own very dedicated fanbase.
The dominance of the big three cannot be understated, and almost all fans hold them on a pedestal when it comes to shonen manga. That's why it's surprising for fans to see one of these series disappear with a new manga. Jujutsu Kaisen, the 2018 manga, has finally surpassed Bleach, one of the big three..
Since its inception, Bleach has accumulated approximately 130 million sales. Since its end, this number hasn't moved much, even after it received a new anime adaptation, the Thousand Year Blood War anime. Meanwhile, Jujutsu Kaisen has now sold over 150 million copies, Based on new estimates. Jujutsu Kaisen continues to sell incredibly well even after the end of the manga, and is still one of the best-selling manga.
What is more impressive, however, is that Jujutsu Kaisen achieved these insane numbers in just 30 sections. Meanwhile, 130 million of Bleach was collected in 74 volumes. It means Jujutsu Kaisen has average sales of 5 million per volume, while Bleach averages 1.7 million per volume.. Jujutsu Kaisen has twice the average sales of bleach per volume, so the gap is even more pronounced.

Naruto 100 million ahead of JJK

A piece is ahead of more than 400 million
That is true Jujutsu Kaisen Beats one of the big three, but at the end of the day, it beats one of the least popular of the bunch. Of the big three, it's always been clear that Bleach is the weakest story. While Bleach has only 130 million sales in 74 episodes, the other two are doing very well.
Naruto has over 250 million sales in 72 volumes. Meanwhile, One Piece is the best-selling manga in the world, and no other series comes close to slowly reaching the 600 million mark..
Jujutsu Kaisen could potentially surpass Naruto someday, but 100 million is a lot to bridge the gap. The new Jujutsu Kaisen animated projects might make it happen, but it would still be close to impossible to achieve.
Jujutsu Kaisen, however, can never pass a single piece. To surpass One Piece, it needs to more than double its current sales, which is impossible for an already finished manga.
Jujutsu Kaisen was heavily inspired by Bleach
While Jujutsu Kaisen Beat the bleach, it's important to remember that without bleach, it may never exist. When asked about Gege Akutami's biggest inspiration when creating JJK, he immediately cited Bleach. Fans can definitely see the similarities. Gage, after all, was a big fan of Bleach.
Say hello to Jujutsu Kaisen's new Gojo Satoru
Gojo died in JJK, but Gege created a new Gojo in Modulo.
The basic premise of JJK takes from Ichigo's story in Bleach, and of course, it doesn't stop there. Many of the character archetypes found in Jujutsu Kaisen were taken from Bleach. Jujutsu Kaisen's most famous technique, Domain Expansion, was also directly inspired by Bleach. Bankai gave birth to domain extensionsAnd without it, Jujutsu Kaisen may never have been so popular.
Jujutsu Kaisen has yet to become the most popular new gen manga
Demon Slayer is still 50 million sales ahead of Jujutsu Kaisen
Jujutsu Kaisen Definitely one of the most popular new generation manga out there, but at the moment, it's still not number one. The number one greatest new gen manga is none other than Demon Slayer. Demon Slayer has earned over 220 million sales with only 23 manga volumes. Achieving such a large number with so little volume is almost unheard of. This leaves Demon Slayer with an average of 10 million sales per volume – the highest of all time.
Fans should also not forget that while Jujutsu Kaisen will certainly receive more backlog sales over the next few years for new animated content, so will Demon Slayer.
The Demon Slayer's Infinity Castle trilogy still has two movies in store, Part 2 and Part 3. These two movies would allow Demon Slayer to stay ahead of Jujutsu Kaisen forever.
Of course, Jujutsu Kaisen still has a shot at defeating the Demon Slayer. In a few years, fans will be able to determine exactly which manga will come out on top. But, for now, the Demon Slayer has the edge.
Jujutsu Kaisen is over, but its sequel called JJK Modulo is very successful
As many fans know, Jujutsu Kaisen reached its conclusion in 2024. This was unfortunate, especially since the story was rushed due to Gege Akutami's health concerns. However, in the year 2025 Jujutsu Kaisen returned with a sequel, called Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo.
Modulo has been running for a few months now, and its first volume will be released soon. Fans are definitely looking forward to seeing how this volume sellsEspecially compared to the original Jujutsu Kaisen series.
So far, the signs are decidedly positive. On Manga Plus, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 1 was the most read chapter of the year. Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo was also the largest new manga series on the platform. It seems that even though the main story is over, JJK's dominance is far from over.
