09) Kimi ni Todoke (4,109,481 copies)
10) Gantz (4,056,981 copies)

another One Piece domination at the charts. nothing to be surprised at anymore.

4 new series have edged into the Top10, Ao no Exorcist, Toriko, Bakuman and Gantz, each helped by their anime or live-action adaptations. am glad to see Bakuman getting into the Top10. the recent manga chapters have been very exciting to read.

looking at the other noticeable manga, it looks like Bleach is on a downward spiral, falling from 5th place last year to 8th placing. you know, this is what a year's worth of worthless filler episodes will do to you.

but Gin-chan is still on the charts! and has even edged up a rank. YAY!!
