Somehow I am surprised at Bloody Monday making the list. Didn't know it was popular.

Yay for Zetsubou-sensei on the list. Still need to get volumes 8, 11, & 12.

What happened with Fullmetal Alchemist? Its rank is notably lower from the previous week

Nothing happened to it. It is pretty normal for manga on this list to not even last two week in the same rank, staying on the chart is a feat in and of itself.

And without numbers we don't know if the first week sales of #27 was higher or lower than #26.

Man need to get my hands on that Phoenix Wright manga.

And wow Airgear is up to volume 21 in English already? I gave up on it at volume 14 (just before the omnibus volume).

Naruto 53 at the top spot once again Very Happy
I imagine the sales of the recently released 54 will be great as well.

Yes! Go Animal Land! I am really happy to see it on the list. I hope it gains popularity. I still haven't started Bloody Monday though...

I'm pretty sure my Tokyopop volumes of it are uncut as well :p It came out prior to the anime dubbing, so wasn't affected. Although, I am surprised it's on the list! I don't even think the first omnibus made it on the top 10. Still, I'm happy.

Same here.

I didn't care much for it at first, but if it keeps improving like vol. 3 here seems to be, I'll likely be following this series.

Guess it's Kodansha's week for new releases. Laughing

But man, seems Naruto, Sailor Moon, and Maximum Ride are the mainstays week-in week-out.

Oh.

I guess I just assumed it was like all other manga that was edited to be in line with it's edited-only anime release on TV.

Yeah, Tokyopop's release was uncut, though it had it's share of issues. Kodansha's release is almost universally considered to be an improvement. The Tokyopop release was not influenced by the 4Kids dub at all. I hope the anime gets relicensed and redubbed so that everybody could erase the 4Kids dub from their mind! Anime hyper The worst part of the 4Kids dub was that it ended on a SHARP cliffhanger (complete with a "To Be Continued" message). According to Tom Wayland, they couldn't get a merchandise deal, so they decided to stop the dubbing, despite the ratings being decent.
