If one were to go to the most recently updated Manga Rankings [by clicking the HTML link in the left sidebar of the appropriate archive.org page] one might notice a subtle change to the usual headers.

Actually, you wouldn’t notice because hardly anyone actually goes to my carefully curated archived charts, having gleaned all the information you really wanted from the top 10 summaries I post to the blog. So I’m going to pull it out and rub your face in it explain to the masses just what changed:

Instead of my self-imposed data diet (trimming back to just the 3 main web sites — B&N, Borders, and Amazon — a necessary step I took back in May else I would never have caught up to date on these damn things) I’m now back up to 8 web sites — nine sources if you consider I count Amazon twice.

Each website works differently, and the subjective quality of the data I’m able to scrape from each means that I treat them all differently. But that’s part of what makes the hobby so interesting.

All current sources for the rankings, from 14 August and for the foreseeable future, are:

Barnes & Noble, Borders, Books-a-Million, Buy.com, Chapters, Hastings, Powells, Amazon’s Graphic Manga Category Listings & their Manga Hourly Bestsellers

Please note: these aren’t necessarily the best web sites for manga (I personally shop from an actual store, but when shopping online I often use RightStuf.com) but all have one thing in common: a manga category that can be sorted, data that can be mined & added to my massive steam-powered clockwork spreadsheets that spit out the weekly charts.

I still need to update the charts FAQ, but wanted to drop this to the main blog first.

Helpfully, geek-and-game-news-site ICv2 also recently posted some manga rankings,

Here’s their Top 25 Manga Properties for Q1 & Q2 2011

1. Naruto – Viz Media
2. Bleach – Viz Media
3. Vampire Knight – Viz Media
4. Black Butler – Yen Press
5. Death Note – Viz Media
6. Blackbird – Viz Media
7. Rosario + Vampire – Viz Media
8. Fullmetal Alchemist – Viz Media
9. Dragonball & DBZ – Viz Media
10. Soul Eater – Yen Press
11. One Piece – Viz Media
12. Maximum Ride – Yen Press
13. Alice in the Country of Hearts – Tokyopop
14. Hetalia – Tokyopop
15. Yu-Gi-Oh! – Viz Media
16. Pandora Hearts – Yen Press
17. Bakuman – Viz Media

22. Ouran High School Host Club – Viz Media
23. Shugo Chara – Del Rey Manga
24. K-On! – Yen Press
25. High School of the Dead – Yen Press

My Rankings, just posted, have a lot of the same faces, just in different slots. For comparison, I’ll put the ICv2 ranks just to the right of mine:

1. ↑3 (4) : Black Butler – Yen Press, Jan 2010 [0.0] ::
2. ↑10 (12) : Maximum Ride – Yen Press, Jan 2009 [0.0] ::

18. ↑1 (19) : Dengeki Daisy – Viz Shojo Beat, Jul 2010 [0.0] ::
19. ↑5 (24) : K-On! – Yen Press, Nov 2010 [0.0] ::
20. : Negima! – Del Rey, Apr 2004 [0.0] ::
21. ↓-4 (17) : Bakuman – Viz Shonen Jump, Aug 2010 [0.0] ::
22. ↓-4 (18) : Fruits Basket – Tokyopop, Feb 2004 [0.0] ::
23. ↓-14 (9) : Dragon Ball – Viz Shonen Jump, Mar 2003 [0.0] ::
24. : Dark Hunters – St. Martin’s Griffin, Apr 2009 [0.0] ::
25. : Haruhi Suzumiya – Yen Press, Oct 2008 [0.0] ::

On my chart, but not ICv2:

#12 Warriors (HC/Tokyopop), #14 Pokemon (Vizkids), #20 Negima (Del Rey), #24 Dark Hunters (St. Martin’s Griffin), #25 Haruhi Suzumiya (Yen Press)

on ICv2’s top 25, but not mine, and how they rank:

Death Note (Viz Shonen Jump Advanced) – ICv2 #5, RBR #26
One Piece (Viz Shonen Jump) – ICv2 #11, RBR #34
D. Gray Man (Viz Shonen Jump Advanced) – ICv2 #20, RBR #37
Yotsuba&! (Yen Press) – ICv2 #21, RBR #39
Shugo Chara (Del Rey) – ICv2 #23, RBR #38

that also prompts a by-the-way-mention: While ICv2 only lists a top 25, I list the top 100 series for the quarter, and other breakouts and sub charts.

No accusation levelled at the ICv2 guys, obviously. (Love you guys!)

…just sayin’

It seems like just six weeks ago I was posting another ‘catch up’ set of links, for the Winter charts. Oh wait, that was just six weeks ago.

Life and work, as always, intrude on what we actually want to do, and this year as a bookseller has been very… entertaining… so far. I haven’t always had the time (or the motivation) to sit down to a big plate of data entry and math.

But still — I do enjoy my very odd hobby, especially the ‘posting results’ part:

2011 Q2 Spring Cumulative Manga Bestsellers : index/summary & full chart

Those of you following along at home, especially the manhwa fans, might notice the charts look a little sparse here and there.

A contributing factor was the loss/abandonment of some of the less ideal (and occasionally annoying) websites I use as my sources, but the largest chunk is the mountain of printed manga that is available.

As of week 26 (the end of June) my database has over 10,000 entries in it (individual volumes) and with popular series now entering the 30s (or even 50s) there are just a lot more books to consider. Also, Amazon, previously a great source, has combined their Kindle books with regular manga (which is great, actually, as this is apparently a growing part of the market) so to find the gems in the far corners of the market one has to dig deeper.

I’ve already adapted and modified my spreadsheet to draw even deeper from trusted sources, and have thoroughly researched alternate sites to expand my data set — in part to bolster the current sources, but also as a hedge in case Borders.com closes and I lose them as a source.

While it has taken six weeks to catch up to this point, I’m still behind. The good news is that I’ve managed to churn through seven weeks (and the quarertly chart) in just nine days, so I’m cruising at a fair clip and should be able to post ‘live’ charts in a week or two.

Thanks as always for reading. I hope you still find these useful.

Microsoft was founded by a college dropout — but to be fair, Harvard was the college and Gates was very smart going in.

Apple was founded by a college dropout – though, it should be granted, both Jobs & Woz did summer interships at HP [and other things – look at wikipedia].

Facebook was founded while Zuckerberg was still a student,

Google was founded by students,

Dell Computers was founded by a student,

Yahoo [which was big once, don’t knock it] was founded by students,

and — dare I pull in some old media for you? Len Riggio founded the company that would become bookseller chain Barnes & Noble while still a student at NYU, way back in 1965

So.

Tax breaks to millionaires do not create jobs. Tax breaks to millionaires do not create new companies, whole new industries, whole new product categories, and whole new ways of life.

If one were serious about creating jobs and not just scoring points with one’s political donors, instead of making sure the top marginal tax rates are now and always will be below 25% — one would invest in the brains that create jobs.

Gates dropped out of Harvard but had an excellent education up to that point — Yahoo and Google both were founded by graduate students — Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak had the advantage of being in right place at the right time, sure [hard to replicate 1976 Silicon Valley] but they also happened to be students in the Silicon Valley, Berkeley for Woz, Homestead High School in Cupertino itself for Jobs.

Instead of tax cuts for the rich that some claim are the job creators, how about we extend a helping hand to those that actually have a proven track record of inventing whole new American industries?

How about we invest in education, and provide a college education to *all* without the massive debt currently required.

How many Apples, Googles, Facebooks, and Dells would have been established if a smart college kid could borrow $100,000 to start up a new company right after she graduates, instead of being forced to borrow that $100K up front just to get through school?

So many missed opportunities. Sure, some companies founded by the smart young kids would fail — this is different how? — but it would be up to them whether or not they could make it work.

For such a small amount of money, we could make sure the kids get into university, and through grad school if they have the talent and the drive. AND THEN these best-and-brightest could assume hundreds of thousands in debt, *not* to pay for school but to create new companies, new industries, and new jobs.

I might suppose that the only reason we don’t provide a free college [and post graduate] education for worthy, qualifying students is because that would make us socialists — dirty, dirty socialists with more free-enterprise startups than we could manage, with more good-paying jobs for college graduates, and a way to enable a whole generation to create, invent, and prosper rather than loading them down with debt that forces them to make compromises and just make do for at least two decades — long enough to burn out their hopes, dreams, and entrepreneurial spirit.

And of course, we’d be able to do that not just for this generation, but the next and the next and the next one, you know, the one that cures cancer, colonizes Mars, and does fabulous things we haven’t even dreamed of yet. All that and a bag of chips, for the in-context-minimal cost of 4-to-6 years for a kid at a university.

It would be like the economic benefit of the 1950s GI Bill but available for all generations and snowballing into perpetuity.

Of course I’m bitter because I worked through school (and asked WAY too much of my parents) and didn’t have the benefit of this myself — but, economically speaking, why are college costs disproportionately borne by students when it costs so little for the government to provide this, and when it means so much to both our culture and our economy?
