Most of this list isn't surprising. Everything on it, minus Rosario Vampire and Trinity Seven (I haven't heard of it, anyway), is manga versions of popular franchises. I am amazed to see Rosario Vampire on here, though, as I thought it was one of those series everyone forgot about. I enjoy it myself, but am not far enough to read the last book.
The only one I did get was Sword Art Online: Girls' Ops, and that was because it's the only SAO manga that isn't based on something. And it's written by the original author, so I figured it probably wasn't going to be junky.

I do hope AoT stays that last week, though--it'd be interesting to see one manga stay on the list for 100 weeks.

Just finished R+V a few minutes ago. Hmm I wonder what the people think of such ending.

People were hoping for an S3. There surely was more to tell. What pissed me personally off though was that little line [spolier]''that could be told at a different time'' [/spoiler]Paraprasing ofc. I mean come on, just do that then.

Rosario+Vampire I really need to start reading, volumes are cheap which is good.

Viz will release it in one box set, which sucks for me since I already own Season 1.

However, no surprise seeing Zelda dominate, Hyrule Historia did the same thing kicking 50 shades off the Amazon top spot.
heck the fact that some of you didnt saw it coming is surprising me O_O''

Anyway while I might have bitched a bit about AoT constant listing I do want to see it get its 100 listing, you fans deserve it for supporting it all this time.

SAO: Girls op flew completely under my radar, didn't even know it got licensed.
But hey, we all know it's gonna sell like hotcakes.

Koro sensei!

Akame ga Kill in top 10? That's pretty nice!

And The Legend of Zelda? Had no idea that was a manga.

May 30, 2015 10:11 AM by Snappynator

Happy to see Rosario at 2nd place!!Same goes for Akame ga Kill!!

May 30, 2015 5:39 AM by MrEpicMichael

Rosario+Vamprire SEason ll at #2 o_o That suprises me, but cool. And I'm glad about most of the others on the list also selling very well.

May 30, 2015 4:41 AM by Comic_Sans

Zelda has been topping the list 3 weeks in a row! What is this madness!? XD

T7, SAO: Girls Ops and DanMachi will probably not even be on the list next week.

May 29, 2015 10:30 PM by Vindstot

Zelda: Haha! I'm #1 again.

Attack on Titan: Bitch please! I'm about to reach my 100th week on the list.

May 29, 2015 9:35 PM by Guranto-kun

Wtf is with Zelda, third time at #1 I think?

Plot twist: AOT is finally not on the list next week

May 29, 2015 5:29 PM by toblynaruto
