In case anyone ever questioned how large a phenomenon Kimetsu no Yaiba actually was, here are the numbers, and numbers don’t lie! For such a new and short-lived series, especially relative to most of the others on this list, these circulation numbers are beyond impressive. In fact, the entire franchise has become a major cultural touchstone in Japan, with Mugen Train beating out Spirited Away as the country’s highest-grossing film of all time.
