It's nice to see new titles being sold like crazy in Japan :)

Chrome Shelled Regios light novel still selling incredibly well, nice.

Good numbers this week, unlike anime. Negima cracking 200,000 makes me happy.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK YEAH!

I will +1 Tenten volume 20 sometime soon.

I'm quite happy Fairy Tail is third.

Good to say FT and TRC where they are, sad to see Bloody Monday go down :<

Nice to see the Chrome Shelled Regios and Spice and Wolf light novels up there. :3

Sidooh and Sommelier. :D
Awesome series from my favorite authors.

chrome shelled is popular yes =w=

I wonder if they will continue the anime of Tenjou Tenge as well?
since the manga is selling so well...
I have yet to convert to manga myself as an anime fan.
I love it! Other shows needing an anime continuation are...
Berserk, History Strongest Disciple Kenichi, HXH.....
I wonder why it hasn't been done? I'm sure many would love to pay for it if the money would go directly to the author and the people drawing the anime...

If only there was a good, honest system to cater to our needs!:)
