Hehe, Kamachi's on there as always. I wonder what H2 will be like.

Glad to see Koimonogatari and Toaru are doing good.

I still have no idea why Japan is going crazy over this series.

And MAL still didn't have anything about this series.

The rest are...Kamachi, SWO, Monogatari,etc... Usual residents.

Index NT vol3 selling better than vol4. Well, vol4 is a kinda weird volume.
And SAO has a larger sale in the latest volume than AW, though AW has 2 volumes in there. Will probably get a bigger boost once the anime airs.
And lol, HSDxD getting in there. Anime did its job well. S2 when?

At least Durarara!!'s still up there...

ToAru Majutsu No Index and Durarara!!! next season anime where?

There's already been two manga serializations of Biblia.

Time to add them to the database.

Baka to test S3 Please.

*8, 194,649 Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu vol.10

This haS made the start of the day good- high hopes for S3 :D

They are too busy giving 12 episode adaptions to unfinished manga with +100 chapters.

My god that sale. It's like the second coming of Haruhi. What is this series about? o.o

tell me about it. if this series doesn't get an anime, something is wrong somewhere lol.

EDIT: DRRR and Ro Kyu Bu Season 2 where? :3

Biblia Koshoten no Jikentecho looks good. I hope a good production studio get it.

Koimonogatari!!! Someone translate it!!!

Edit: Hoping for 2nd season of Durarara too.

No surprise. (Hopes for news on Season 3 right after the movie)

Accel World and SOA? 8D
Yeahhhh!

×Biblia Koshoten no Jikentecho
