Hmm Pandora Hearts is pretty high up there. I saw it at the bookstore the other day, but didn't pick it up. Looked interesting, guess I'll have to check it out.

Fifty percent of the titles are Yen Press titles. Is that a best showing ever for them?

Yeah, and check out how many weeks it's been going between the top 3 spots. Now that's funny.

I just bought vols 1 and 2 of Kobato, so happy to see it make the list.

I bought Kobato the day it came out as soon as the store opened. So its nice to see that my efforts helped Anime hyper


interesting that Rin-ne made it to the list finally. I can't remember a previous volume making it. maybe it finally caught on? or does it just get better by volume 3? (I dropped it after a few chapters in)

I am very impressed in Pandora Hearts making the list along with Black Butler. Compared to Black Butler, Pandora Hearts is really overshadowed, but in my opinion its the better of the two series.

And RIN-NE, wow! I am very proud in Viz. Their same-day chapter releases was a fantastic idea, and I am glad that it's finally paying off.

Good job to Yen Press too. You guys are an excellent publisher and you deserve it. Smile

Volume 3 is when the love triangle begins, so there is a reason why it's suddenly more popular than the other two volumes.

I've picked up the first two volumes of Pandora Hearts, and it's quite good so far. I especially like how it's a little more reserved with fighting compared to most shonen. I'll definitely order the anime sets when NIS America solicits them.

I'm waiting to check out Black Butler on DVD before I give the manga version a shot.

ahh manga is getting more and more expensive. Less people buying = higher prices. >.< They usually priced around 9 dollars. Viz is usually good about prices, now they're upping prices too D:

I still buy though.

Hmm i want Kobato! yay for clamp!
