Wow Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji sure is popular. Hibi Chouchou, Hirunaka no Ryuusei, and Nijiro Days. Lots of shoujo romance/slice of life manga up there ^^

Anime isn't particularly interesting, which is a bummer.

Great stuff that seem to get too little attention in the west.

This too.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Because the guy (whose name is Tanaka Yoshiki) decided to continue after >20 years of break. He now says that after he finishes with the Hero Legend of Arslan, he would proceed to write the vol.5 of Tytania.

Is it still just a bunch of old dudes discussing thing without much happening? I mean, I enjoy LoGH but Tytania was just dismally boring.

Wow, this is great.

What would be even greater is if somewhere down the road they make a new anime adaption. Scrap the one they did in 2008, completely redo it from the start. Make it a 110 episode OVA series that airs over the course of 10 years and it'd be golden.

How many volumes did you go? To be honest, I found LoGH slow-going already so I never bothered checking Tytania.... Tanaka is an old-style writer, meticulous in details and setting for plot. I can see how some love this style though not sure if it is for me...

Date a Live vol 8 doing well. It's only about a thousand sales lower than volume 7's final figure, and still going strong.

You're right, SnK has really made the manga top 50 a top 40 for the past year.

Good for Chihayafuru! Some josei on the list, even if it often feels like shoujo.

And go Machine Doll!

And new Guyver live action when? LOL, used to love those movies.

Am I the only one who thought this has something to do with Oreimo at first? xD

Still waiting for the next 2 weekly rankings to see if Machine Doll's anime and the Mahouka announcement would give them a significant boost.

Kuroneko is a bit of a stray cat too, isn't she? I'd adopt her!

Me too on Machine Doll and I'm hoping NouCome will finally rank as well.

And Kokoro Connect Precious Time... though as the final novel I say with sadness that the time for season 2 has come and gone :'(

Is this the greatest hiatus ever in the anime/manga scene?!
