| ugh, no chihayafuru again, this saddens me |
 |
| With the high rankings, popularity, and color pages given to Nisekoi, I was expecting it to have sold more copies. But hell, 45+K is not shabby at all for a first week and first volume release. One Piece, selling like hotcakes as always, and I can't recall ever seeing Tegami Bachi on the list. I may have not looked carefully, correct me if I'm wrong. |
| no Magico this time.. aaah.. i hope it could sell better.. |
  |
| Bakuman got to number 3, not bad. |
 |
| first time i heard about Gate 7 looks cool from the reviews and its made by CLAMP |
| Glad to see Punpun is still up there, and lmao Tegami Bachi with a booklet |
 |
| I wonder what's with the sudden surge in sales for Thermae Romae. Did the DVDs recently come out or something? |
| One piece on top of the leaderboards as usual! I can't judge if it's good or not since I have yet to get into the series. Overall, not a bad list I guess, at least, compared to other weeks. |

| One Piece sold more than two million copies for this week... Wow...Just wow... |
 |
| Hey, Nisekoi and Kagami no Kuni no Harisugawa up there, good to see them. |
| Kinda surprised to see Nagato Yuki-chan no Shoushitsu in there. |
| Dont touch me I'm in despair. |

| *1, 2,275,453 2,275,453 One Piece vol.66 *2, *,847,826 *,847,826 Naruto vol.60 No surprise here. XD I find it pretty amazing that One piece is not only always first, but has also sold double, almost triple that of second place. Oda's fame. XD Tegami Bachi vol.14 Hunter x Hunter vol.30 Yay! :D Gin no Saji vol.3 Nisekoi vol.1 Congrats to Komi-sensei! Good job to Gin no Saji too. Kotenbu series vol.1 Hyouka Oyasumi Punpun vol.10 I want to read these... |

| A lot of stupid shoujo type stuff I don't care for on this list. Doesn't really matter in the end though. All this list showed was that the middle market is seeing expansion on the amount of top selling shoujo type stuff; but that doesn't change the fact that the upper tier sales are still predominately shounen. Shows the state of the industry overall though. The only thing that's unanimous is that people always buy one piece and might take a look at a series like naruto here and there. What's really surprising is this Gin no Saji. Fairly new manga with a crazy amount of sales. Once again depressing me on the power of slice of life in the manga/anime era we now live in. |
| Oh wow Thermae Romae's first volume sold alredy over 1 million and the second close to it. One piece first as usual ♥ and Bakuman 3rd ! |

Nisekoi is completely out of stock on several online retail sites including Amazon and has also sold out in many bookstores in Japan. |

phoenixalia said: Sir_Lexa said: @phoenix. Chill girl ;) "but shoujo only appeals to girls? its natural it doesn't sell as much! " That is not the case. I love some good shoujo ;) ....really? are you serious? what titles do you read? :O I am reading quite the bunch of Shoujo titles. Blame our city library who have picked up alot of them lately xD Shoujo titles I am reading at the moment. Some I enjoy, some I don't. (Check my list for more on this topic) |
| Shoujou may appeal mainly to girls but like shounen attracts girls shoujou also attracts some guys |

| It's really invredible how One Piece sells so much in just one week.... Almost 3 times the sales on the second one(Naruto).... Nisekoi selling well for it's first volume... I want to know what is the plot of Biblia Koshoten no Jikentecho.... It appears on the list for LONG time.... a selling well... |

The only thing that's unanimous is that people always buy one piece and might take a look at a series like naruto here and there. excuse me? as a shoujo reader I take offense against what you just said. STUPID SHOUJO? Yea, shonen will always be dominant as it appeals to both boys and girls but shoujo only appeals to girls? its natural it doesn't sell as much! but, besides the point, just cuz you don't like it don't call it stupid. Ao Haru Ride and Usotsuki Lily are two titles loved by both japanese AND foreign audiences. if they were so 'stupid' they wouldn't sell well. don't bash something just cuz you don't care about it. others do care. and by calling shoujo stupid you're calling thepeople who read it stupid. To be completely honest with you, it makes no difference to me whether or not you are offended by what I said. That being said, I want you to know that just because I find shoujo manga stupid, does not mean I find the people who read them to be equally stupid. Though your lack of reading comprehension is starting to make me draw a comparison. Lots of stupid things are popular these days. Does not necessarily make them good. To base an argument solely on that fact, is logical fallacy; argumentum ad populum |

To base an argument solely on that fact, is logical fallacy; argumentum ad populum Being popular does not make something good, no. But neither does your subjective, unilateral proclamation that they are bad make them bad. Two way street, that. I could de-construct why they are bad. In fact, I have done this many times already. However, this is not the purpose of this thread. If you want to hear a lengthy tirade on why I dislike shoujo's, feel free to message me on my profile or read one of my equally long winded reviews. |
