You know, I hadn't heard about Billy Bat in a little while. Glad to see it's still going strong.

I've wanted to read Deadman for quite some time ..

Hoorah for Rozen Maiden!

So in 1 week Haruhi is already 2nd place in overall LN sales in the 2011 fiscall year. As expected from the goddess.

Dang, "Cooking Papa" made it, this has to be coming from Japan then. XD

Slow week for manga. It was to be expected that a lot of people would pick up copies of Blue Exorcist. Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukanai seems to be continually gaining popularity.

And, damn, Haruhi sold like hot cakes.

So the new Genshiken manga is selling good. I hope that could mean another anime series.

WOW~~~ Congrats!

With baka-tsuki banned from publishing their Haruhi translations online, will there be translations for volume 10 available any time soon?

Glad that OP is one of the top 5. LOL
I was just wondering, if Naruto and Bleach are part of the big 3 then why arent they here in the list?

You're right...but I guess they are the big 3 not in Japan but in USA or in other countries

You don't know how this list works, do you?

Billy Bat in first is surprising, but Urasawa deserves it.

SBR #11 is also pretty damn cool.

It is great to see that Shinrei Tantei Yakumo is on the 6th place whit volume 5, but I can't finde the volumes. All I found was vol 1-2 and 3.

Yay, Rozen Maiden! XD

Toshokan Sensou :3

Papa no Iukoto made it at number 6 nonetheless. Although not surprising since the same vol no of Baby Princess also made it in the rankings when it was out, lucky 7 ftw.

I need to get those raw scans from the blog and start reading it.

This is showing that Japan is beginning to have some taste.

I need to read Billy Bat. Yay at Deadman Wonderland being so high up.

kekkaishi good bye u will be miss

Ooh, nice to see good manga like Billy Bat and Genshiken doing well. I'm waiting on that Billy Bat license so I can own the pretty volumes instead of reading it online.

Question. Did the Haruhi novels come in two seperate books or were the books put together?

Because shouldn't it be 170,500 units sold each book?

Way the go Haruhi!

Because a new volume hasn't been released yet...

People can't purchase things that don't exist.

gotta see this Billy Bat manga

Billy Bat is insanity and it is awesome.

Good pick for Number 1, Nippon.

I'm guessing people wanted Haruhi then? lol

Oh well the rankings looked good (don't read most of them series but oh well)

17, *38,051 *,*38,051 Rozen Maiden vol.5

Yeeeeees. All according to keikaku.

Wow!! Three volumes of Ao no Exorcist made it in the rankings!
