Originally compiled by Matt Blind for the benefit of the Manga Community and posted in the rankings category at RocketBomber.com. Derived from publically 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.

…if you’ve read this far, you’ll no doubt be interested in the Weekly Commentary Posts.

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 publically 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.

An as yet un-named special chart: new, new, *new* titles

filed under , 3 September 2008, 13:29 by

As occasionally happens, I’ll think of new sorting & reporting criteria for my charts in the process of writing up one of my commentary posts; it happened last week and I feel the exercise, in this case, is definitely worth repeating.

All (but one) of these titles falls so far down the chart they don’t even register on the Midlist 500 yet. Considering the breadth of what I’m attempting, that’s saying something — You’d think the giant vacuum cleaner (a total of 10 sites, up to a top 500 pulled from Amazon and several others, 16 freakin’ hours of data entry) that comprises my current method would actually capture more of these each week.

These titles are also reported as part of the new releases and preorders, obviously, but it only takes an extra minute to pull-and-highlight these new immigrants to my database. The list is worth posting. —The only question is what to call it. I’m kinda-sorta partial to the title below, but not sure if it’s the most accurate description:

The Bleeding Edge
Pre-orders and new releases, new to the chart this week

Spotlight: Graphic-Sha and Japanime's Manga University

filed under , 1 September 2008, 11:54 by

I’m using my manga charts to look at the output of select publishers —

covered previously:
ADV Manga, Aurora Publishing, Broccoli Books, CMX, Dark Horse, Del Rey, DMP/DMP June/801,

Today the spotlight is on

Graphic-Sha & Japanime’s Manga University

Let’s change gears a bit and consider one interesting aspect of my manga charts: There is some stuff here that isn’t manga.

I’ll typically include any book that is “co-branded” (for lack of a better term) with a popular manga series: the art books, character guides, source books (“How to Read Death Note” anyone?), novels (which I discussed two weeks ago) — and a stack of stuff that is even more questionable, like ani-manga & cine-manga, calendars, sticker books, and Pokemon.

Past the tie-in stuff, there are some academic & scholarly works I’m tracking as well: obviously I’m going to include Thompson’s Guide to Manga; Scott McCloud will always have a place on my charts, and I’m also making room for Abel & Madden as well as at least one or two guides to Anime. —

By far the largest group of non-manga manga titles in my database, though, are the How-To books, and of these the vast majority are Graphic-Sha’s How to Draw Manga series. And that’s not a bad thing. Graphic-Sha, a Japanese publisher, commissioned Japanese artists and authors to produce a series of how-to books in Japan, for the Japanese market. (Do you see the trend there?) Quite a few of these books (around 65, give or take) have been translated and made available to the English market, via co-productions with two companies: Japan Publications Trading Co., who also publish the Japanese in Mangaland series of language texts, and Japanime, a company most American readers will know as Manga University

I don’t know which company worked on which books, though one could look at the titles are being offered on the two sites — but on at least one level (my level: the books on the shelf at retail) it doesn’t matter, as the entire series has a unified look-and-feel and if there are any differences, these are transparent to the consumer.

Graphic-Sha’s How to Draw Manga is a venerable series (in manga terms; the first book was published in the U.S. back in 1999) and well known to most folks who’ve browsed the art how-to section at their local big box. I’ll list the titles I have in my database (at the end of this post, and an aside: it’s so good to see that the anatomy volume is the top ranked, gives me some hope for the aspiring artists) but I think the more interesting story is hidden behind and around and beside the How-to-Draw series:

Let’s take a campus tour over at Manga University.

They’ve got some fun stuff there: free online tutorials, t-shirts, art supplies, a webcomic, complete online classes, a publisher’s blog

that’s… nice. Just icing, though. The cake is the books.

And The Meat is MU’s selection of language titles.

I’ve been trying to teach myself Japanese for about a year. Unfortunately I can only do it on a very, very part time basis so I’m still stuck trying to memorize the kana. Hey, what do you know, they have a book for that: Kana de Manga. It’s cute — each page is illustrated (by Chihiro Hattori) — but also clear and accessible: the blurbs on each page include a sample word (often a familiar japanese term—like kimono—for the hirgana, and english loan words for the katakana) starting with the kana in question, and an illustation of the stroke order so you know how to properly write each one. It’s not a guarantee or an instant fix; one still needs to study, but this is a definite improvement over dry, boring college texts.

After you learn the kana, you can move on the Kanji de Manga, of which there are 5 volumes, and the special editions on Sound Effects drawn in most manga, and yojijukugo (4 kanji japanese idioms).

And the reason I kept using food metaphors is because they also publish a cookbook: not just any cookbook, though, a Manga Cookbook. The Manga Cookbook is also cute (Hattori does these characters, too) and is aimed, perhaps, at a slightly younger audience. While the introductory chapters on selected Japanese ingredients was certainly helpful, particularly in noting which should be available in the States and noting a few substitutions that can be made, on the whole it stuck me as Japanese Cooking for Kids. I personally would rather sink my teeth into The Japanese Pub Cookbook, and home chefs might be better served by one or both of Harumi’s books. Paired with a bento set, though, the Manga Cookbook would be a fine present for the tween manga fan, particularly if he or she is a fan of cooking manga like Kitchen Princess.

(If she’s a fan of Iron Wok Jan, you could always get her an iron wok — I own one of these Lodge Cast Iron Woks and it is super-sweet, a very close second-favorite right behind my 12’ heirloom cast iron skillet.)

Manga University also has a number of little gift books, each about 100 pages and 5 inches square — of these I own Manga Moods and 50 Things We Love About Japan and have been pleased with each; to actually recommend one of these is going to depend a lot on context and gift recipient, though, as they aren’t ‘manga’ enough for some fans (who’d likely rather just get more manga) and might be a bit too manga for the general public. Atsuhisa Okura’s art in 50 Things is awfully pretty though.

(Some of you might have been expecting an article on Go! Comi this week, or last week actually — I promise I’ll be covering Go! Comi at some point in the near future but they’ve this very interesting tidbit on their site that requires some additional research and analysis)

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.
