New Manga, 3 Jan 2011
I used to post something very similar to this a couple of years ago; I let it lapse as a regular feature ‘cause it used to be too hard to keep up with. I have new and better tools now, and the new year seemed like a great excuse for a re-launch.
I’ll see how much commentary I can add to these new reports; I’m still more of a ‘raw data’ sort of guy, and oh boy do I have a lot of data on my hands this week. As this is a brand new feature, I hope the headings are self-explanatory; drop me a comment if you’d like clarification on any points.

— please note online sales sites often list conflicting release dates; dates as posted above are more or less correct within a week or so. (and if books are shipping early, that’s a good thing)
Dates are those listed by major trade distributors (Bookazine, Ingram, Partners, PGW, et al.) and not Diamond — if that serves as explanation.
