Wow? Negima 1st? That's sad... I'd rather read Naruto than reading a book that keeps showing girls underwear... Must be a lot of people that has no girl... Other than that glad to see Fma and not to see Bleach (I hate it!) does bleach ever even come up to this list? Also, aren't people embarrassed to buy and read negima anyways? Reading it in the bathroom huh lol

Furuba and FMA <3
I'm glad that FMA's higher than Naruto.

That's right that I bought FMAs Volumes not a long time ago, maybe I helped it to come at the 2nd place... *Daydreaming*

No I'm just joking, this comment isn't serious... xD

Still too much Naruto up there. Ugh.

Nice to see something else on top for once at least.

Oh wow, Naruto not on the top spot this time? I must get my eyes checked...

NY Times Best Seller really means nothing. It's all just a pay and get on the list type of deal.

May 31, 2009 10:33 PM by ShadowBlazer3000

Hell yeah! FMA and Negima!!!

There is a god! I've gotta get my hands on Negima, FMA and Otomen.

Otomen 2 is out? *looks for it*

May 31, 2009 7:15 PM by PandaPuff

NEGIMA and FMA! WOOO~!

May 31, 2009 7:05 PM by panda_general

Negima won!

Good job.

Naruto will slowly fall out, but every new issue will win I hope you all know.

FMA FTW

Honestly, I need to get my hands on Volume 22 of Fruits Basket. It's pretty much the real emotional ending of the series. I'm pretty happy that it's been selling so well.
