Seriously, the first volume of Attack On Titan has been on the Best Sellers list for more than a year, that's crazy! And the spin off manga debuted at number one!

Attack On Titans success continues to grow and grow and I'm loving every moment of it. Very Happy

Attack on Titan is selling hand over fist, as to be expected. Kodansha must me feeling pretty good about their decision to do the publishing themselves in the USA instead of licensing the different series out to Viz, Yen Press, etc. . . considering the success of AoT, Fairy Tale, Sailor Moon, and their other titles that seem to be on an endless loop on the best seller list.

Seeing Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin on the list makes me happy. I THINK that the rep. from Vertical mentioned on ANNcast last time he was on that they were looking at maybe picking up another Gundam series; My fingers are crossed that these numbers mean positive things towards that end.

I think it's cool to see that this list, except for Dark Horse, has titles from every major American manga publisher.

Whoa, look at Attack on Titan go! Crazy to see volume 1 still there. Good on the fans of the property for getting right behind it.

I tried the anime, but didn't really enjoy it too much. Just not for me.

Happy to see Fairy Tail there, that and Millennium Snow are 2 series that I'm getting that made this list.

Awesome to see that the Attack on Titan spin off debut at number 1 and volume 1 at number 2, still so high after over a year on the chart.

No doubt, Attack on Titan are dominating here in America.

All success and profits of Kodansha are probably owe to the man named Hajime Isayama who happen to create this crazy series.

Those that are working on the spinoffs also deserve credit in helping the franchise's popularity.

Ah yes..you 're right. I didn't mention them. There's no denying that AoT's spinoffs did help them raising popularity in the franchise.
