CLAMP's xxxHOLiC, Mashima's Fairy Tail top chart

The top of this past week's chart is a list of familiar Kodansha authors; besides the powerhouse that is CLAMP and author George Morikawa with his landmark 80th volume of the Hajime no Ippo boxing manga, Rave Master's Hiro Mashima takes the #2 spot with his latest work, Fairy Tail. Female-oriented manga make a respectable showing; not counting Young Magazine's xxxHOLiC, there are four titles including the relative newcomer Otomen—a combination of "otome" (maiden or female otaku) and the English word "men." Otomen revolves around a high school junior named Asuka: manly man and judo/karate/kendo master on the outside, lover of caramel macciato, shōjo manga, sweets, and pink things on the inside.
