Um... the pic for Bleach is number 27 not 28.

So, how many weeks has the final Fruits Basket novel been in the top ten? Is anyone keeping track of the running on these volumes? Curious to know how long stuff lasts, a kind of "X number of weeks on the New York Times Best Seller's List!" blurb like what you get on regular books.

The second-to-last column of ANN's chart lists how many weeks a book has been on the list (so it looks like Fruits Basket has been on for 9 weeks, same as the most recent Naruto volume).

Fruits Basket keeps making the list because, like Naruto, it so popular.

THANK GOD for Bleach 28, if VK had been #1 again I probably would have screamed. This stupid vampire craze has to end, VK is just a fan-girl driven manga with a very mediocre plot.

Naruto is probably the best selling manga ever here because it has sold over 4.4 million tankoubon here.

How funny, Bleach is also a fangirl driven* manga with a very mediocre plot.

*ask the yaoi fandom about the importance of Shonen Jump sometime.

*SIGH*

C'mon you're comment is completely baseless, just because there are stupid fan-girls who use shonen jump titles for their obsessive hobbies, DOES NOT mean that they are buying the latest volume of Bleach, volume after volume. Bleach 27 was also #1 for 4 straight weeks, are you going to tell me that was fan-girls buying Bleach?!

ALSO, about the "mediocre plot", just like that was my opinion on VK, you are also entitled to your opinion, unfortunately I'm quite used to the huge HATE that Bleach receives because of its popularity, I really don't care what you think of Bleach, however...

PLEASE DO ME A FAVOR AND DON'T COMPARE BLEACH TO VK.

I think it's funny how you're calling their comments baseless. The recent volumes of Vampire Knight have been extremely plot-driven, and yes, I would say that some volumes of Vampire Knight (namely unreleased volumes 8 - 10) are more plot-driven than Bleach.
