The best selling manga to buy in 2022.

In the previous paragraph we listed the top selling manga of all time up to now (2022). However, those manga titles may be slightly different to which nowadays teenagers and adults appreciate. In fact, most of the top selling manga reported above started their serialization in late 90’s and 80’s and may appear a bit ‘outdated’ to the current generations. For this reason, in the list below we highlight the best manga to buy in 2022 which are in the ‘spotlight’.
