Recent reports that have come out pointed out that Solo Leveling Blu-ray volume 2 has bombed miserable in Japan despite its overseas popularity. One week after the release of the Blu-Ray, it has failed to appear on any sales rankings in Japan, falling significantly below expectations.
Solo Levling Blu-Ray volume 2 sold fewer copies than the lowest-ranked titles for that week, which included Mashle: Magic And Muscles season 2 Vol. 2 on Blu-ray, which sold 629 copies, and Ao no Exorcist season 3 on DVD, which sold 164 copies.
Solo Leveling Blu-ray vol. 1 had also failed to make it to any sales charts.
While Blu-ray/DVD sales are not the sole indicator of success, they remain a significant measure of a show’s popularity in Japan, reflecting the number of fans willing to invest in merchandise. Despite the anime enjoying immense international popularity and confirming a sequel, its reception in Japan seems to have fallen short of expectations.
