Huh, another boring week it seems, will we ever get a tiny bit of variety from this list?

Great to see the One-Punch Man manga still going strong. Too bad about the blu-ray numbers in Japan. Even if the second season is looking less and less likely, there's still always the manga I guess.

Possibly the Christmas effect? People who don't buy manga throughout the year get the big series as gifts/buy them with Christmas money.

These are the most popular manga atm. You're gonna have a hard time finding variety. Maybe when Boku no Hero Academia anime airs and the quality stays consistent or increases for the manga.

Too bad we never get any sales numbers. I would like to see how other series sells in comparison to these. It may be an 1000, 500 or even just a 100 unit difference between number 10 and 11.

AoT 1 is back! Or did it stay on the list? Laughing

A lot of TG and OPM made it on the list. Sadly, nothing I collect made it this week.

With the B&N buy 2 get the 3rd sale going on, I was somewhat hoping for a shocker series to jump into the rankings while this sale is going on, I'll have to wait and see if it chances by the time the sale ends.

If AoT can go 156 weeks on this chart, that will be 3 years on said list. Knowing how popular the series is, I think that could happen. That might get a better chance when the new main series comes out this year.
