I think once Naruto starts settling down more after its Ninja Generation campaign, we'll start seeing more other titles.

I highly agree with the two of you... I wonder how many times a volume of One Piece has been on the bestseller list... Mad

Hey, in my book, Black Cat is good on its own right. Plus, it's unique and doesn't span fillers and fillers of people trying to become stronger.

I'm glad the best seller list is getting more diverse. Yay for Otomen to make it there! Anime smile Now, we just need more diversity in it and less of Naruto.

I enjoyed it because you know, people enjoy different things. Its also nice to read a shounen series with an ENDING!! :O :O Which is why this probably made the list, because its the last one.

unique? I don't mean to be a butt, but common' it was terribly cliche and unoriginal. simple bad guys, simple good guys, simple "powers," and horrible dialogue. the only thing I will praise it on is that the main characters were fun to go along with.
