That's impressive. It's one thing if the main series consistently makes the top of the list. I didn't expect the side manga to be that popular too.

I appreciate the list, the top 5 are all things I personally want to succeed.

Because people have different tastes then you? Sure Monster Musume is obviously sexual but in general it's also pretty fun, mix that with some in my opinion solid comedy and unique characters and it's a good time I think. To each their own tho.

Really awesome that Monster Musume's spin-off 4-koma anthology ranked on the NY Times Bestsellers and at #1 its 1st week.

Joking or not. There's no need to question others tastes, which is pretty silly when people enjoy different things.

I'd sooner piss in my eye than read MM, but i'm glad for the reader and creators sake it's doing well.

Horses for courses and all that jazz.

At least you wish the fans and creators well, that's a lot more positive then most people that don't like something.

Sees OPM and MM are still strong sellers. Especially OPM #1. I really do enjoy MM, I may have to one day pick that up for the library. I think the students can use a good laugh. But I'm kind of shocked that the ILMG anthology made number #1 on the list. I think I'm going to have to request this one just to read it.

Y'know haven't really seen any good reviews on 'A Centaur's Life'. Its a fun read but I haven't seen it getting much attention. It's like a ghost. Maybe it's very niche and not for everyone which is why it's not making the list.

Sure, i'm glad sales are good abd people can continue to read their favourite manga legally. Spare a thought for Vinland Saga fans in that regard!

Fandom not big enough; there's no room for more than 1 girl monsters manga hit
