I believe that the correct title for Hanagimi to Koisuru Watashi
is Hana-kun to Koi Suru Watashi. you should correct the entry in the database. [it's OK to write koisuru though it doesn't look so good; the problem is Hana-kun.]

The previous volume did 2.487.632 in the same time-frame so that's a 5.6% drop. Noteworthy but not alarming. I do think One Piece has peaked (but at such a high level that it was just impossible for it to sustain that eternally). When was the last time it sold 3 million copies in 3 months ? It used to do that quite regularly. Not anymore.

I decided to try an exercise and look up any manga on the list I wasn't familiar with. Some of them seem typical for their genres, some look especially interesting, and at least one has an anime adaptation in the works.

One manga I can't find any info on in English is Ishtar no Musume. All I can get is that it's historical josei by a Year 24-group shoujo artist, Yamato Waki. That's enough to get me interested. Tantalizingly little info Wink

I know its not much but the trend keeps decreasing. Im just hoping for the best, the current arc is so good so i dont undertsnad the decrease. Its not like the manga got worse or anything. It used to sell 2 million in just 3 days.

Maybe the newspaper campaign in japan and the current arc would bring the sales up next year. And the nytimes ad might help Op become the top selling in america.
