Great to see the people who requested Jojo's putting their money where their mouth is! Hopefully the series will continue to be a success for Viz so the fans can keep reading the series.

So glad to see Akame still going strong in the states. Ill certainly be picking up Vol. 2 next month.

Same with AssClass 2. Glad to see it's still hanging in there.

And then seeing the Miku manga continually on the list is great too. Hopefully more will come in the near future.

I went to a Barnes & Noble on Thursday and saw there were four copies of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Volume 1 (I was actually there for Assassination Classroom though). When I went there on Friday, there was only one copy of Jojo's left. That, I feel, is pretty interesting, that there were at least three buyers for that book that day, over a month after it was released.

2014 US manga sales finally rebounded up after 7 straight years of decline, despite its fewest representatives in the Top 750 GN sales, which it used to dominate. But it's still a long ways away from where we were at the boom years:



Blame the cow grazers all one wants, but their presence was a symptom of the best of times.
