The Dark-Hunters was a pretty book, but was by no means a good one. You would think someone would put the story through spell-check at least once. And there was a bunch of missing punctuation. You would think they didn't know what a comma was for! Rolling Eyes

And it's nice to see some publishers other than Viz on the bestseller's list this week. Very Happy

I'm very surprised to see Junjo Romantica on the bestseller list, considering it's a mature manga.

I'm surprised that Naruto's down to two volumes. I remember one week it actually got eight. I suppose part of it was the increased release pace, but it's definitely not dominating like it used to. Wonder what else might have brought on the change?

I was thinking the same thing-- seems like the usual shonen titles, a few shoujo, and then 18+ Junjou, smack-dab in the middle of it all. Weird. Did any of the previous volumes ever make it to the list? I don't recall seeing it ever, but I don't always make a point to look.

Huh, I thought I was the only person in the world reading Kitchen Princess. Guess that isn't true! Who is the audience for that series?

Furuba at #2? I would think the final volume would be at the top by a landslide, and after having read it for myself, why wouldn't it?

I still haven't bought naruto volume 45 to go with the other 44 volumes that I got. I'll do that later this week when I finally have the time to do so.

The original audience the authors thought about?: Young girls to teenage girls.

The audience that really happened: Young-to-teenage girls, fans of other cooking manga, people who like either author and creepy middle-aged men (y'all know what I mean there).
