Yotsuba&! 6 – ADV, TBA : 1569. ↑21 (1590) : [0.2] ::

Holding fast to a place 4/5ths down the chart, #1569 of 1966, Yotsuba&! 6 outranks 397 titles which are available, and given that there are 5315 titles in my database there are more than 3,700 manga titles which have been published that do not sell as well as Yotsubato 6 online.

Here’s what you do, ADV: Partner with a site (I’d go with Right Stuf) and set up a special order page, get us to pay in advance (I’ll buy 2, myself, just to get the ball rolling) until you have recouped 150% of the cost of printing this damn book, and then print the damn book. —All costs, even at freelance rates if your staff can’t handle it: translation, localisation, printing, printing the 6-page colour insert (oh, and a bonus postcard for folks who preordered), shipping the book to Grimes, IA, so your sales agent can then get the book to us, special trip for all ADV employees to St. Bart’s for a week and a half— Go ahead, lard it up, every conceivable cost to you that is keeping this from being published: come up with an Impossible Price that you’re sure preorders wouldn’t match.

Call this a little bet between us. You come up with a number, get the pre-order page set up…

I’d like a signed copy, if you don’t mind, for coming up with the idea. Could you arrange that? My birthday is in November, is that enough time for you?

To better illustrate how 2nd-tier titles are performing, the 100 or so books from the top 5 series are excluded, and then a top 500 chart (this ‘Midlist 500’) is re-run and re-numbered with the volumes that remain.

* a single site check for these sources was counted multiple times; this retains the previously established balance amongst source charts, while saving me substantial chunks of time. It’s a shortcut I’ve used before and will resort to again.

Appearing on Amazon as part of their manga category (but a lot of flotsam and jetsam—some of it far from manga—ends up there) is a book currently listed as

The Dark Hunters, vol 1.
isbn 978-0312376871

Other than the fact that Amazon is calling it manga, nothing here seems to be manga. Sherrilyn Kenyon is one of those ‘paranormal’ romance authors, and this is likely just some paperback release in the long running Dark Hunters series (vampire romance, 20+ volumes) and somebody at Amazon sneezed and hit the wrong key or something.

And yet… Well, it’s on my source charts. I can certainly skip the occasional outlier for a week, or two, and I did just that; but eventually I have to figure out what this thing *is* so I can decide whether or not to include it in the rankings.

• This a different book from Marvel’s Lords of Avalon which is also based on a Kenyon series, just not the Dark Hunter series.
• Actually, there is no book called “The Dark Hunters” in the Dark Hunters series.
• It’s a new book, releasing late April 2009
• Price Point: $9.99 (not $7.99 or $8.99)
• It’s 208 pages

…Looking more and more manga-ish…

But it’s published by St. Martin’s Griffin — setting aside the deal between Tor & Seven Seas, if it’s manga this will be Macmillan’s first manga release.

You know, I hate it when the internet makes me work at something like this. Other than Chibi Vampire, I hate vampire romance. (Damn you, incomplete publishing information on sales sites!)

As it turns out: yeah, it’s a new OEL manga.

Found:

Dabel Brothers Publishing is proud to announce the manga-style adaptations of two Dark-Hunter novels by the #1 best-selling author Sherrilyn Kenyon, to be released in 2009.

The novels Night Pleasures and Night Embrace are the first and second books in Kenyon’s blockbuster series, The Dark-Hunters. The series is about eternally damned warriors who have sold their souls for vengeance and who now protect mankind from the evil that preys on them.

Kenyon’s work has a worldwide following, with sales of more than 14 million books in 29 countries.

The story will be adapted by writer Joshua Hal Fialkov, known for his unique storytelling style on titles like Cyblade and the upcoming Afro Samurai Manga. Claudia Campos, already a favorite with Kenyon’s fans for her knockout illustrations in The Dark-Hunter Companion, will again provide the art. Production services are being provided by Glass House Graphics.

Past the 6 Aug 08 press release from Dabel Bros. (which I had to search for, it’s not linked on the main site) I can find jack else about this title on Kenyon’s, St. Martin’s, or even the Dable Bros. site. (Well, they set up a forum but it’s empty. I’ll be glad to cede “f1rst p0st!” rights to someone else in this case — have fun, kids.) It’s almost like they don’t want anyone to buy it.

Can’t fault the original press release, tho: The sample art is missing dialog but they have 4 preview pages up, and there’s also some artwork that just might be a cover:

Found:

Who is Miyamoto Usagi? Whence does he come? Why is he on my Manga Charts?

From the Amazon listing:

Created in 1984 as a supporting character for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Stan Sakai’s Usagi Yojimbo is a perennial favorite amongst children, especially boys, and adult fans. Usagi Yojimbo chronicles the action-packed wanderings of a funny-anima ronin in feudal Japan. In honor of his 25th anniversary, Fantagraphics is releasing a deluxe slipcase set collecting the seven first Usagi books, including the earliest stories; the origin story, “Samurai”, a full graphic novel; and literally dozens more. This is the complete, definitive Special Edition (our third in a line of repacking our most beloved classics). It will also have extra material, some from the long-out-of-print hardcover editions and some brand new: a complete full-color gallery of the more than 50 Usagi covers from that period (never-before-collected); many preparatory sketches; two “non-canon” Usagi stories by Sakai co-starring the TMNT (with whom Usagi also shared screen time in the TMNTs’ TV series); and a long career-spanning interview with Sakai.

The Usagi Yojimbo: Samurai GN namechecked above was originally published by Fantagraphics back in 1989. (And it’s a collection of earlier material) (and it’s only vol. 2 in the series, vol 1: Ronin, was first published in 1987)
—OEL Manga as a term can be applied to Sakai’s work, but he predates it. By a lot.

From the description above, this is merely a repackaging of the Fantagraphic editions of Usagi vols. 1-7, with maybe a new, eighth book with all those listed extras. If that’s all it is (1200 pages), it’s easily worth the $95. (not that we pay list price with all these websites out there trying to undercut each other)

isbn 9781606991541, as noted $95 list, currently advertised as a May 2009 release.

The ongoing adventures of Usagi Yojimbo are published by Dark Horse; vol. 22 came out last June.

Yotsuba&! 6 – ADV, TBA : 1590. ↑27 (1617) : [0.2] ::

demand is waning and it’s been de-listed from all but one sales site, but people are still trying to buy Yotsubato 6.

You hear me, ADV? You hear me knocking? I run this whole report just for that last line and for your benefit. (OK, it’s not all about Yotsuba&!. But it’s been 15 months since 5 dropped and we’re hungry, starving, for the next book.)
