Correction:

So, the Grey Lady claims to report on comics & manga. Sure… they have the resources to accurately and authoritatively report on this — above and beyond what us mere bloggers can manage.

And so:
Their number 9 pick:

CODE GEASS MANGA, Vol. 3 by Goro Taniguichi. (Bandai Entertainment, $9.99.)

should in fact be listed as Code Geass, Lelouch of the Rebellion vol 3…

…to differentiate it from Code Geass, Suzaku of the Counterattack or Code Geass, Nightmare of Nunnaly, or the Code Geass sequence of novels.
You know, just sayin’…

Basic research into the the series and all…

edit 21 Mar 12:30pm: I must have been in a bad mood last night; what follows is some wicked snark leavened with a bit of drunken righteous self-satisfied self-aggrandisement — oh, I’m not deleting it but thought I should preface the comment with an apology-of-sorts to the Times: their methods are fine and they’ve been doing best sellers a lot longer than I have. original post continues:

But if all you want to do is cash in on the popularity of one or two genre titles to bolster the popular perception of your rapidly necrifying and increasingly marginal bestseller lists, then figuring out what people are actually buying is secondary to getting a list of “graphic books” out into the blogosphere.

There have to be [OoMA estimate] 20,000 chavs who would love to be credited by the Times as either Comics or Manga Experts (not me though; I have enough difficulty keeping up with regular updates on rocketbomber) who could catch these gaffs for you — Hell, you likely have the requisite geeks already on staff if you’d just listen to them.

The “title on file” for any given ISBN isn’t the first and last word on a work — and a quick glance at ANN, or a dedicated Manga/Anime sales site, or even Amazon (if one cares to look at it weekly, in depth, you know… like I do — will quickly demonstrate that usual methods can not describe sales trends across multiple new media.

Hiya. We’re the internet. I know you think you know us already, but we’re already ahead of you. Even to the point where you think you’re reporting on US — in fact, we’re Fact-Checking YOU. Three minutes on Google (or one link to Bandai) would inform you on Code Geass; if one were a fan you might have already seen the anime episodes. This isn’t rocket science (unless you approach it from my angle)

[commentary on the charts recently posted]

I knew Rosario+Vampire was on the move, and I knew that Vampire Knight was building week-on-week… what I didn’t expect was an all-at-once overhaul of the charts.

Welcome to 2009! Your Manga Charts step bravely forward into uncharted territory; Death Note is sooo last year. While it will continue to sell well, it’s not a Top 5 Title anymore.

Top 10 Series, week ending 15 March:
1. ↔0 (1) : Naruto – Viz Shonen Jump, Jul 2003 [2984.38] ::
2. ↑2 (4) : Vampire Knight – Viz Shojo Beat, Jan 2007 [1430.27] ::
3. ↑3 (6) : Rosario+Vampire – Viz Shonen Jump Advanced, Jun 2008 [1409] ::
4. ↓-1 (3) : Fruits Basket – Tokyopop, Feb 2004 [996.25] ::
5. ↓-3 (2) : Bleach – Viz Shonen Jump, Jun 2004 [984.04] ::
6. ↑2 (8) : Warriors – HC/Tokyopop, Apr 2007 [874.67] ::
7. ↓-2 (5) : Death Note – Viz Shonen Jump Advanced, Oct 2005 [827.3] ::
8. ↑5 (13) : Skip Beat! – Viz Shojo Beat, Jul 2006 [740.9] ::
9. ↔0 (9) : Ouran High School Host Club – Viz Shojo Beat, Jul 2005 [724.14] ::
10. ↓-3 (7) : Chibi Vampire – Tokyopop, Apr 2006 [708.65] ::

…And soon Death Note may not even be a top 10 title: currently the series is buoyed by strong sales of the 13 volume box; there is a definite time limit there.

The next burning question is whether stupid-cat-OEL-sorta-manga will ever overtake Tite Kubo’s Bleach. My money’s on Kubo, but the big unanswered question is the age of the relative fan bases: sure, Kubo has the anime on Adult Swim (for now) (I think; did AS finally ditch all their anime?) and, duh, Bleach is better than Cat-ersatz-manga but the committee writing Warriors has been publishing under the nome de plume Erin Hunter for 6 years now and has built a substantial fan base.

That is to say, Fans of Cats may outspend Fans of Manga by a significant margin in the open marketplace. Yeah, I hate it, too.

Also waiting in the wings: Skip Beat!, Ouran High School Host Club, Chibi Vampire, High School Debut, Vampire Kisses, Kingdom Hearts, The Twelve Kingdoms Novels, Nana (Yes! Nana), and old stalwarts Tsubasa & Fullmetal Alchemist. Even Berserk is within striking range. If I had to place bets, my money would be on High School Debut & OHSHC.

And hey Stu: The Twelve Kingdoms is kicking ass and taking names with a scant three volumes out and no support and they’re damn novels. Well, there is the six-year-old anime (available as equally vintage DVDs — I mean, full props to Lex Lang & co. but if you think after all these years the anime is driving sales of these at all, pass the spliff. that’s some good stuff you’ve got there)

You want to support these?
The Twelve Kingdoms is being shelved in Teen Fiction — You know, next to that Twilight thing —

Do I need to break out some graphs?
Get off your DJ Milky Ego Trip long enough to realise that Princess Ai is… well, OK so when it comes to Ai you’re not going to listen to reason. Here’s the snap shot, tho:

The Twelve Kingdoms is the 14th top-rated series this week.

The Hardcover (!) Novel (!) vol 3 ranks 16th out of all manga by my methods

16. ↑30 (46) : The Twelve Kingdoms (novel) 3 – Tokyopop, Mar 2009 [532.2] ::
401. ↑264 (665) : The Twelve Kingdoms (novel) 2 – Tokyopop, Mar 2008 [71.2] ::
411. ↑36 (447) : The Twelve Kingdoms (novel) 1 – Tokyopop, Feb 2008 [66.9] ::

Because Amazon doesn’t differentiate between hardcover and trade paperback in a straight-up ranking, well, neither do I, but That’s Three Volumes in the top 500 (out of 5600+ that I’m currently tracking) (better than a top 10% if you can’t do the math) and

let me emphasise this again:

These are freakin’ novels.

You want to support these? Even a fraction of the attention you’ve lavished on Princess Ai

aside:
409. ↑76 (485) : Princess Ai Prism of Midnight Dawn 1 – Tokyopop, Nov 2008 [67.4] ::
. (last ranked 15 Feb 09) : Princess Ai Ultimate Edition – Tokyopop, Oct 2007 [0] ::
. (last ranked 9 Nov 08) : Princess Ai vols 1-2 box set – Tokyopop, Oct 2006 [0] ::
. (last ranked 9 Nov 08) : Princess Ai 2 – Tokyopop, Jul 2005 [0] ::
. (last ranked 12 Oct 08) : Princess Ai 1 – Tokyopop, Jul 2004 [0] ::

…might double the sales of a book the fan base has discovered on it’s own. You send out emails seemingly once a week — care to clue in the rest of your readership on what a [small, but] significant percentage is already reading?

& Just Because: The Twelve Kingdoms’ Author Fuyumi Ono Interviewed at ANN — well, not original to ANN but the same interview seems to have evaporated from Tokyopop.com.

salt, wound… I really want to rub it in; but do you need me to spell it out for you? I reconstruct sales trends from thrice-removed sources — you have the sell-in and sell-through data: can’t you figure this out yourself?

Please Note: Publishing dates are entered at the time a title first ranks; often this is when it was preordered 1-3 months before. With shifting publishing schedules, shifty publishers, and general nuttiness re: this issue, some release dates have changed. I don’t have time to recheck every title, but I welcome correction (particularly if you work for a publisher).

More Next Week. Promise.

Originally compiled by Matt Blind for the benefit of the Manga Community and posted in the rankings category at RocketBomber.com. Derived from publicly available information; if you feel your intellectual property has been infringed upon then I’d advise you to chill, consult your lawyers again, maybe grow a thicker skin, and then also recognise that you’re getting a free, weekly link directly to your manga offerings [right at the top of the post, in case you missed it] on a blog that specifically caters to fans of the medium. Maybe you should be sending me money, or free manga, as opposed to getting your boxers/panties in a bunch over imaginary copyrights.

All data as posted released back into the public domain (be free, little numbers, go frolic and prosper) with merely a humble request that you link rather than steal, and that any derivative works include an attribution and also remain free to all.

##

Additional information on sources, methodology, bad habits, wastes of time, trivia, what is and isn’t manga, how alcoholism and OCD directly contribute to the compilation of the rankings, the thaumaturgical formulas used in the spreadsheet, answers to readers’ questions (if you ever get around to actually asking me anything) and other similar esoterica can be found in the Charts’ FAQ.

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.
