Hoshi in the Girls' Garden Tops Oricon September Comic Ranking
The chart splits cleanly between new releases moving their first month of copies and older volumes like Kingdom and Chiikawa still adding to multi-month totals, so a September rank says as much about a volume's age as its demand.

Oricon's Monthly Comic Ranking for September 2026, tracking estimated print sales from August 31 to September 27, puts the fifth volume of Yama Wayama's Hoshi in the Girls' Garden at #1 with 182,399 copies.

Oricon announced the September 2026 ranking on October 9. The window covers August 31 to September 27, and the figures are estimates of print copies sold at retail outlets across Japan.
The top three volumes all shipped in early September: Hoshi in the Girls' Garden on September 8, Kagurabachi on September 4, and Dandadan, whose 25th volume ranks third.
