| 1. xxxHolic, Vol. 19 |
| I watched Sailor Moon way back in the 90s (in Europe) and I'm now wondering why the manga seems to be so popular that it is in the charts, I mean it's quite old (as a franchise), can someone explain me the popularity in the US? |

| Naruto is going to be up there because of the younger teenage fanbase...anyway... I nearly bought Mardock Scramble a few days ago... I settled for Blue Exorcist,Durarara, Soul Eater and Fairy Tail though..... |

Because the first runs of the manga were printed left to right, the names changed, etc. And it's been out of print for years and years. As someone who also watched the dubbed TV show in the 90s, but couldn't get the manga (except online and horribly localized), this recent reprinting is doing a superb job of capturing the original tone of the manga series. And I plan on collecting all of them. never knew this. thanks for the info |

Is Toriko even licensed in America? And if it is it hasn't had a whole lot of time to get as many buyers, unlike Naruto and Bleach the anime hasn't been aired on American televison either. 24601 said: VioLink said: Now everyone is going to start respecting america's taste since " Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei" and "GTO: The Early Years" are on there. not me as long as Naruto is above conan or One piece i lose respect for you taste And every time a new One Piece volume outsells everything else by millions I will lose repect for Japan's taste. |

This has got to be the most ignorant statement on Japanese manga taste I have ever heard. Do you not realize that manga originated in Japan, and that the Japanese have had just as long to be critical of their own manga? One Piece is the best selling manga series constantly, month by month, year by year for a VERY GOOD REASON. It is no fluke, believe me. The Japanese knows what makes an amazing series. I will always trust the taste of the Japanese when it comes to manga. They know what's up. |

I mean I like One Piece too, I think it's a good series, but you really think it deserves having so much greater success by far than every other series? And I guess that despite One Piece being in your favorites of anime and manga you're not biased at all right? But from what you've written it seems you'd be incapable of forming your own opinion on a series anyways and would just listen to what Japan thinks with a, "they can never be wrong" type of attitude. From what else you've said I guess you believe in quality by popular vote then too. Like I said I think One Piece is good but still not deserving of such high sales numbers, especially with the latest volumes. |

| I now have an urge to read that Soulless manga. Wonder why. >.> |

What the others above me said. It's being reprinted for the first time in years, in the original right to left format and with the characters' original names and proper translations and so on. It's basically bringing back an old out of print classic and treating it better this time. |
| Kinda interested in xxxHolic. |

| I just can't believe Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's is a best seller. :/ |
| This list is different than the usual ones. Nice to see SZS, GTO and Mardock Scramble on there. I'm also happy that Sailor Moon is still in the top 10, and Naruto will most likely always be on these lists due to it's huge fanbase. |
Wooooo |
| Wish there was more info about Soulless. |
Part-time_Ninja said: I just can't believe Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's is a best seller. :/ how many times do i have to mention on each time a thread like this is made that most people buy yugioh manga for the card that is in there not to mention that yugioh has the guinnes world record for the most cards sold, making it the most popular card game. which the general public doesnt realize how popular the game actually is. |

| If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card). |
Samurai_ said: Wish there was more info about Soulless. Alexia Tarabotti is laboring under a great many social tribulations. First, she has no soul. Second, she's a spinster whose father is both Italian and dead. Third, she was rudely attacked by a vampire, breaking all standards of social etiquette. Where to go from there? From bad to worse apparently, for Alexia accidentally kills the vampire -- and then the appalling Lord Maccon (loud, messy, gorgeous, and werewolf) is sent by Queen Victoria to investigate. With unexpected vampires appearing and expected vampires disappearing, everyone seems to believe Alexia responsible. Can she figure out what is actually happening to London's high society? Or will her soulless ability to negate supernatural powers prove useful or just plain embarrassing? Finally, who is the real enemy, and do they have treacle tart? Basically a manga about Vampires and Werewolves and the Undead.. |

| That's embarassing that Yugi-ho 5DDs beat out Psyren, even... |
| Happy for Durarara!! and Bakuman :D |
| Sadly one of the greatest series ever - One Piece - got stained heavily in America because of its 4kids dub and thus tainted many who gave the series a chance. It's since been redubbed by funimation but the 4 kids really killed it. Animes a lot more accessible than manga over here so kinda watch anime to get into manga first =P. |
