As of May 8, the 62nd volume of Eiichiro Oda's One Piece pirate manga has sold 2,367,582 copies, including 1,788,455 during the May 2-8 week according to the survey firm Oricon. It is the 13th consecutive One Piece volume to sell over 2 million copies since Oricon began publishing its book sales ranking charts in April of 2008. (One Piece volume 50 shipped in June of 2008.)

Dawn of the Arcana stumbled at bit in its second volume, but with this one we seem to be back on track.
As far as conclusions go, this arc has one of the strongest. While Eye Opening revealed some important information about the Sonozaki family in general and the twins in particular, Atonement makes us look at what information we already have in a different way.
While the story still has its logical flaws, it remains an engaging read that holds up well despite the passing of years and this volume continues to keep up both the promise and nostalgia of Takeuchi's masterwork.
Overall, neither Pokemon the Movie: Black or its White counterpart really stands out from the already packed herd. While not terrible, these are films that can be safely left alone unless you or your child have a compulsion to truly catch 'em all.
Kamichu has been hailed by many as "Spirited Away the TV," and rightfully so: not only does it touch on the themes of deities among us and a young girl finding her place in the world, but it's got the ingenuity and production values to rival Studio Ghibli.
