AoT in it's rightful place, atop the mass of dung that is every other manga. Bow down peasants, sales mean everything. Titan must be gold. Lmao.

I would like to see actual sales numbers of these volumes. Not just who is in what place.

Tbh I never expected to see SAO light novel on this list, especially when it's a manga list. Oh well, great to see it getting sold really well here.

Always look for 2 things on this list, first would be if any manga I'm buying make it. This week it is Say I Love You volume 3. Second, it's to see if ATO 1 is still in there. Yep.

Behold, the cancer of the anime community. Great to see both Monster Musume and DxD on the list. We need that Monster Musume anime pronto. |

If something doesn't make sense, it's generally a good assumption that it's on account of something you don't know. I'll sketch out some of the stuff it might be you don't know. First: Have a look at the creator's bibliography. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Patterson_bibliography Note the large number of books -- something like a book a month -- most of which are explicitly credited as "with" some other author. I think it's probably reasonable to conclude that Mr Patterson has worked out some process for writing these books that's less draining than usual for authors, even joint authors, and it's not unreasonable to suspect that certain elements of this process might be applied to those books credited to Mr Patterson alone. I mean, I know no more than what's written on the wiki, but what what's written on the wiki raises possibilities that aren't written there. Second: the biggest market segment for childrens' books is childrens' librarians. |

^ what are you implying? I assume you're trying to imply that James Patterson's books are ghostwritten, which, yeah, pretty much. He comes up with concepts that other people--or perhaps whole committees--turn into books.
Maximum Ride's manga adaptation is fun, though, and a good seller despite its suspect origins. |
