Based on what's on the list, the following manga would be a best seller: The Dieting Girl's Guide to Spirtual Happiness and Romance.
Seriously though, is it just me or do most of the titles on there seem a little. . . weak? There's a couple of dieting books, some trashy romances, a few self-help books that mostly help the author to get rich, and then a fair amount of decent fiction further down the list. Still, it seems like there's a lot of stuff but not much really worth reading. And does it scare anyone else that One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish is on there? |

If you want to be a bestseller, you gotta go on oprah, or be a hack novelist, like James Patterson or Nora Roberts. Most people who buy books are housewives, so the best sellers tend to be everyday romance, mystery, or self help titles.
As for One Fish, Two Fish.....there was some nationwide Dr. Seuss thing going on in Feb. so that's probably why. Just a quick note, most of the manga lately have been non-popular or brand new titles. Tokyo Pop's and Viz's once-a-year releases, like Vagabond or King of Hell. Good titles, but not very popular. Naruto 13 is out now, along with Zombie Powder and IS, so we should see some action on the list soon. These are my observations as a bookseller, just to let you know. |
