Akira Failing in Love, Shinta Harekawa's romantic comedy, passed 1 million copies in circulation worldwide, announced by Weekly Shonen Sunday on September 16 and reported in October 2026, the same day the eighth compiled volume shipped. Viz Media publishes the series in English, with the fourth volume out September 8.
Shinta Harekawa's Akira Failing in Love launched in Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday in August 2024, and by its eighth volume it had passed 1 million copies in circulation worldwide. The magazine announced the figure on September 16, 2026, the same day the eighth compiled volume shipped.
English-language readers are further back in the run. Viz Media publishes the series in English, with volume four out September 8. That places the license gap at roughly four volumes between the Japanese release and the English one at the time of the million-copy announcement.
Wider coverage of the series is limited. The only other appearance in this cluster is its participation in International Cat Day on August 8, 2026, when anime and manga accounts, including Cyberpunk 2077, Pragmata, Inherit the Winds, Black Torch, Kodansha, and Kojima Productions, posted cat-themed art and messages.
