Interestingly, Oricon's list with sales totals (tl blogged) has Worst in #2, Angel Heart in #3, and a few other series higher as well. Since Tohan is a retailer, maybe their rankings are only for their own sales?

I'm surprised to see Naruto and To-Love-Ru at such good positions. Nice to see that Claymore is doing good, too.

Ah, Naruto is always popular...also, 42 includes a pretty huge event in the Narutoverse, so it's expected. Also, the cover is awesome.

I'm not suprised to see Naruto so up high in the charts to be honest. Those chapters were really important for all Naruto fans ~

But I really would've like to see some Bleach in the Top 10 list >_>;

And now that Love-Ru is an anime ~ it'll probably drop some sales,lol.

yeah, not surprised at all to see Naruto at the top...incredibly pivotal point for the series.
Bleach probably won't be back on that list for another 1~3 weeks. the original OMGWTF shock wore off, so KT-sensei needs to give us more love.

Yippee! Kaichou wa Maid-sama and Faster than a Kiss got in the Top 10 this week! I saw them at Kinokuniya in NYC today, but I didn't bought them.... And I should check out Angel Heart, heard it's interesting.

Nothing of interest on that list. Hopefully I'll be seeing SZS in next week's. <3

How is yu-gi-oh gx on the top 10? I read a bit of it, just to check it out, and it's definitely not top 10
