Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s New Dinosaur has been out for five weeks, and was at the number 2 spot.
Kyou Kara Ore Wa!!, a live-action adaptation of a gag manga, held steady at number 4.
Fate/stay night: Heaven’s Feel III. spring song, which had previously been at number 6, made its way up to number 5.
The movies Yowamushi Pedal and Love Me, Love Me Not, both based on manga, have been edged out of the top ten, but are still in theaters and selling their fair share of tickets.
Movie-going isn’t the same during COVID, but people are still attending. Do any of these movies catch your interest for something you’d like to watch?
