According to this fact check piece, for 2019, Demon Slayer probably sold around 10.8m copies (Shueisha reported such number), vs 15 million sum of the “top 750 titles” comics. Demon Slayer didn’t outsell “the entire western comic industry”, but it damn well outsold the vast majority of best sellers. I couldn’t find anything concrete for 2020.

Yeah I remember there being some uncertainty on the actual numbers when I last looked at it so I said “nearly” cause I didn’t wanna look it up. Thanks for giving the actual numbers though :)
