Here is your handy catch-up post for the charts so far

filed under manga, rankings-analysis 7 July 2011, 17:41 by Matt Blind

As most regular readers know, I ‘waste’ inordinate amounts of time compiling data drawn from online sales sites into manga bestseller charts.

I’ve fallen quite far behind recently, but I’m working at a ridiculous pace to catch up – I’ve posted a few updates to my twitter, but mostly I’ve been sneaking the updates in, backdating them so they show up in the blog archives on the appropriate date.

Since I just posted a 15-week summary chart, I thought it would be best to also post links for the year so far:

Week 1, 2 Jan : index/summary & full chart
Week 2, 9 Jan : index/summary & full chart
Week 3, 16 Jan : index/summary & full chart
Week 4, 23 Jan : index/summary & full chart
Week 5, 30 Jan : index/summary & full chart
Week 6, 6 Feb : index/summary & full chart
Week 7, 13 Feb : index/summary & full chart
Week 8, 20 Feb : index/summary & full chart
Week 9, 27 Feb : index/summary & full chart
Week 10, 6 Mar : index/summary & full chart
Week 11, 13 Mar : index/summary & full chart
Week 12, 20 Mar : index/summary & full chart
Week 13, 27 Mar : index/summary & full chart

2011 Q1 Winter Cumulative Manga Bestsellers : index/summary & full chart

For those not familiar with the quarterly chart (not surprising, considering this is only the third time I’ve posted such) it lists the Top 2500 Manga Volumes and Top 100 Series for a given fiscal quarter. Handy info to have — and as a summary post many one-time errors and outliers get buried under an avalanche of other data.

Speaking of Outliers, for those of you who have read Gladwell’s book: I’ve hit my 10,000 hours for this project. I’m past the strictly experimental stage: This is for keeps, and for reals.

Yes, all the links are broken.

On June 1, 2015 (after 6 years and 11 months) I needed to relaunch/restart this blog, or at least rekindle my interest in maintaining and updating it.

Rather than delete and discard the whole thing, I instead moved the blog -- database, cms, files, archives, and all -- to this subdomain. When you encounter broken links (and you will encounter broken links) just change the URL in the address bar from www.rocketbomber.com to archive.rocketbomber.com.

I know this is inconvenient, and for that I apologise. In addition to breaking tens of thousands of links, this also adversely affects the blog visibility on search engines -- but that, I'm willing to live with. Between the Wayback Machine at Archive.org and my own half-hearted preservation efforts (which you are currently reading) I feel nothing has been lost, though you may have to dig a bit harder for it.

As always, thank you for reading. Writing version 1.0 of Rocket Bomber was a blast. For those that would like to follow me on the 2.0 - I'll see you back on the main site.
