Japanese Comic Ranking, January 27-February 2

posted on by Egan Loo

The live-action television drama adaptation of Riko Miyagi's Mei-chan no Shitsuji (Mei-chan's Butler) shōjo manga continues to bolster sales of the original manga after its broadcast premiere last month. The first four volumes and the last volume rank on Oricon's weekly comic chart— even though the first volume was released back in November 2006.
