Japanese Comic Ranking, May 29–June 4
posted on by Egan Loo
The debut of new Naruto and Bleach volumes late in the week could not overcome Heroes favorite Naoki Urasawa in the latest weekly bestselling manga chart in Japan. The first volume of 21st Century Boys, the final story arc of the popular 20th Century Boys science fiction suspense drama, takes the top spot for the week. Also debuting are the Clover office lady manga (not Clamp's Clover fantasy one), the fantasy adventure Saiyuki Reload, the yaoi Flower of Life, and the more innocent Love Catalogue.
