Oshi no Ko far surpassed all other anime solely with its sales in the anime sector. However, it is worth noting that even as a spin-off focused on just one character, Konosuba Megumin also performed well in terms of anime sales.

Now, let’s see the rankings separated by categories:

The 10 anime that sold the most for Kadokawa:

  1. Oshi no Ko
  2. Konosuba Megumin
  3. The Village
  4. Re:Zero
  5. Overlord
  6. My Happy Marriage
  7. Iseleve
  8. KamiKatsu
  9. Bungo Stray Dogs
  10. Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear

The 10 publications that sold the most for Kadokawa (manga/novels/etc.).

  1. Mushoku Tensei
  2. Toaru Kagaku no Railgun
  3. Sword Art Online
  4. Yamada-kun to Lv999
  5. Pan Dorobou
  6. The Eminence in Shadow
  7. Bungo Stray Dogs
  8. Kadokawa Manga Gakushu Series
  9. Re:Zero
  10. Overlord

What stands out here is the surprise appearance of the anime Iseleve in the top 10, and it’s also surprising to see ReZero in this ranking even years after the end of the second season. Though the third season has been announced, it is still impressive that it remains in the top 10.

Seeing Oshi no Ko completely dominate Kadokawa’s sales is entirely expected, considering how the first episode swept the internet.
