Here are the weekly manga & light novels rankings for August 29th - September 4th.
Note: Oricon has stopped providing the cumulative sales, so I have to calculate them using the last week's data. Since the workloads to make the manga rankings have highly increased, there will be a delay in posting or changes to the formats of the rankings.

Nagato Yuki-Chan?! I really must read this spin-off shouldn't I? :P

NOW Ao no Exorcist is back. I keep hearing so many different things, I never knew if it was popular or not.

Guess it is this week. ^_^V

checked out first chapter of blue exorcist..it reminded me about a bullshit manga called bleach..

Why was everyone surprised at the position of AnE?
I think it deserved the 1st place
The manga is very awesome (may be the anime had some effects on the sale)

Wow, Ao no Exorcist had some huge sales there, I guess it can be called a success now?
Really nice job...
I'm also glad to see Gintama, Nurarihyon no Mago and Beelzebub high up this week, too...:)

AoEx is #1 and with a huge difference!! O_O
I'm glad!!

Sep 8, 2011 2:43 AM by lzumi-chan

Oishinbo is above one piece
Oishinbo FTW

Sep 8, 2011 2:39 AM by DateYutaka

nice to see blue exorcist and gintama taking top spots!!

Sep 8, 2011 2:35 AM by kamina99

Ao no Exorcist! <3
Good to see Mago too :)

Sep 8, 2011 1:59 AM by Anarkan

fate/stay night is doing good.

Sep 8, 2011 1:22 AM by sharon1

AnE #1? Very good.

Sep 7, 2011 10:46 PM by AndroidJacket

Wow! Gintama as #2 though it should be at 1 (no offense to Blue Exorcist or its fast growing fanbase), but still, cool! And it's about time I see Umi No Misaki up there as well! Kou Fumizuki seems to be an underrated manga artist despite making great drawings in his works.

I'm surprised that One Piece isn't higher up. O.o

I can't be #1 every week lol xD, already sold close to 3 mil total so far so I think it's doing fine xD

Sep 7, 2011 7:48 PM by Invensible1

Toriko in third place awesome!!!!

Sep 7, 2011 6:59 PM by MilfZord

Fate/Zero & Fate/Stay Night up there!!! Awesome!!!! :3

Sep 7, 2011 6:42 PM by xARTURIAx

Woah, I think it's the first time I haven't seen One Piece higher. Didn't expect Ao no Exorcist to be number 1. The anime is really boosting sales.
