Naruto Volume 28, the newest in Masashi Kishimoto and Viz Media's ninja manga series, immediately broke into USA Today's list of America's top 150 best-selling books for the week of February 25 to March 2 at #73. Naruto Volume 27, which was released simultaneously with volumes 25 and 26 in December, ultimately was a best-seller for a total of seven weeks. Of the 28 volumes that Viz has now published, 25 have been among the country's top 150 books for at least one week.
